Hancock's Iucreajing Popu-larity.
The BaUimorean, one of the
ablest weekly joaroals published in
tbia coantry, in speaking of Gen.
Hancock's increasing popularity,
says:
"It requires no especial political
sagacity or discernment to perceive
that the Republicans are growing
more and more demoralized every
day by the position in which they
have been placed by the nomination
of Qen Hancock. Looked at from
every possible point of view bis
nomination appears to have been
not only a master-stroke of policy,
but a positive political inspiration.
It may be doubted whether the
Democratic party itself at first folly
understood the wisdom of its selec-tion.
Certainly few persons were
prepared for the spontaneous burst
of popular enthusiasm which greet-ed
the choice of the Oiocinnati Con-vention,
or for the deep and atrong
hold which the Democratic nomina-tion
has taken upon the public
mind.
The contrast between the way
in which the Democratic and Re-publican
nominations have been
received is of the most striking
character, and already foreshadows
the result of the election.
The nomination of Gen Garfield
fell flat upon the country, and hit)
name has been found utterly incapa-ble
of arousing the least spark of
popular enthusiasm.
The nomination of Gen Hancock,
on the contrary, was not only re-ceived
with enthusiasm in the be-ginning,
but that enthusiasm baa
increased with every day that has
passed since the nominations of
Hancock and English at th Cm-
Cincinnati Convention. In tact
many people are already beginning

What Hanoook's C'andid-.cy
Moaas.
Senator IV u die ton, of Onio, says:
"Hancock's candidacy means peace,
a true fraternal Union, obedience
to the Constitution with all its
amendments, a government and a
country benifioeot alike to its peo-ple,
and beloved by all alike,
a cessation of fraternal strife, a ces-sation
of sectional difficulties, • ces-sation
of the era of construction and
reconstruction, attention to the
measures of the administration so
as to perform, either by action or
non-action, that duty which has al-ways
been so dear to the Democrat-ic
party, of exalting the individual
and redressing all the wrongs which
law or lawlessness has inflicted on
bim. It means peace at the polls
without the presence of an army to
preserve it; it means a free ballot
to every citizen, white and colored,
native and naturalized, without
marshals to electioneer with him or
supervisors to intimidate bim; it
means free elections, fair counts,
peaceful inaugurations; it means to
reverse the ways of the Republican
party, to uncover its corruptions, to
rectify its errors and to restore to
the government the simplicity, the
honesty, the frugality of the Far-mer
Republio which . our fathers
created. It means, in one word, to
garner and to gather and to com-bino
the blessings of that Union
which Hancock saved at Gettys-burg
and of that civil liberty which
be established at New Orleans.
And, as bis candidacy means tbe
hope of this blessed change, so his
election would secure its full frui-tion.

Plain but Timely Truths.
Th. Beidsville Times says many
good things in a plain aud blunt
style, but it never uttered a moie
timely truth and warning than tbe
following, and one wbicb is worthy
of more serious consideration bj
Democratic campaign managers and
speakers:
" There is work this campaign to
enthuse the people. Emotional re-joicings
t.nd ratification meetings
are well enough in their place. But
tbe leaders and stump speakers ol
tbe Democratic party must inch
down from toploftical barraogoes
before club room and Courthouse
crowds and take a plain old planta-tion
stand to work with the people
in the fields and workshops. It is
their votes that are needed. Some
ot them have backed their ears and
stand mulishly indifferent to voting
again. They contend that one po-litical
party is as good as another,
and none of any service to them.
Bnt such conclusions are baseless
and wrong and only tbe proper ef-fort
is required to rally sucb grunt
biers into ranks. Tbe Republican
party is nursing this class, and
whether they fly apart to join a
mythical third pcrty or doggedly
persist in having to do with none,
tbey are booked all tbe same as so
ninth strength to the enemj's side.
Tbe Democratic party is fortunate
in having in Governor Jarvis a cam-paigner
at home with tbe working
classes. He has followed tbe plow
bundle and is from tbeir midst.
And the people have only to see
and bear bim to like him and sup-port
him. There was never a fuller
manned ticket for making a success
tul campaign. Bot the enthusiasm
houlil not be cooped up in tbe
towns and cities. At least a pailfnl
every day should be emptied >u tbe
country. Let Hancock & Jarvis
clubs of all tbe towns send speakers
-.<. B to different seetioos of
wuntief. ri'i" b i sue i apeak-
■ i bt hi i ,;i ■'.■'■; identified with
lite people and men IU whom they
have confidence. And thus the
traps if the enemy will be broken
up in tbe bushes and tbeir plans for
capture of much of tbe Democratic
strength effectually thwarted."
Gen. Garfield's Letter of Ac-ceptance
[Baltimo e San.]
Gen Gaitleld baa written hia letter ac-cepting
tbe noniinatiriii for the Presiden-cy
accorded him by tbe Republican Na-tional
Convention. It is addressed to
Senator Hoar, president of the Cbieaepi
Convention Oea Oitrl.!.! »•»•; 'hat hi

■HIM of Ml .',.'-.: ',
He cordirMv endonea iii Cbteatftf pis -
form "on nearly all tbo aul.j.-.ets of wbicb
it treats.'' He aays that his opinions are
on record in tbe proceedings of Congress,
bnt in regard to sonie priucipal topics he
chooses to make special mention, without
ae«king to revive settled controversies or
awake burut-ont passions. Repnblioans.
he says, reject the pernicious doctrine of
State supremacy. They inaist 'hat the
United States is a nation, with ample
powers of self-preservation, and that its
Conetitution and lawa most be the »u-preme
law of tbe land. He declarea that
tbe national lawa relating to the election
of Congressmen mast neither be violat. .1
nor evaded, nor mast tbe right of any
citisen to cast bis ballot be impaired,
nor tbe potency of that ballot deatroyed
by fraud. The effective enforcement of
these principlaa Mr Gaifield considers
to be a necessary preliminary to the
restoration of brotherhood between the
sections, and tbe national government
shonld, therefore, pat forth all its powers
to the procurement of these ends. The
Sonth sutlers moat from lta own intoler-ance
of tbe opinions of the minority, and
this evil mast be restrained in order to
keep party power from beeoming tyrani-oal.
General Garfield regards onr enrren-oy
tronbles aa definitely settled by the
accomplishment of resumption, aud says
that with all onr dollars we certainly
have money enough. Onr paper currency
be saya, is now as "national aa the llag.''
He favors the support of schools by the
general government, but these sobools
most not be sectarian in any sense, aud
tbedivoroe of Church and State must be
absolute. In regard to the tariff, Mr Gar-field
thinks that, while revenue must be
be considered, tbe interests of the Ameri-can
laborer are to be constantly regarded
at the same time. It is oar glory that
labor in this country is at once more in-telligent
and better paid than abroad
Our independence consist* in our ability
to produce everything and to make
everything which Americans require.
It is part of tbe glory that ve
have aecured onr independence in these
respects. Mr Garfield considers it a hap-py
symptom that there is no longer any
organised opposition to liberal appropria-tions
for national objects, such aa rivers
and barbon, and be thinks that tbe Mis-sissippi
river, in particular, should be
generously endowed. In regard to the
Chinese question Mr Garfield rather goes

—Tbe number of business failure* in the
United Stale* reported during the ffrst half
ot 1440 was *2.497, with liabilities smountiiiK
to leas than thirty.three millions Dun, Bar-low
A Co., from whose quartsrly circular
this information is gained, remark that
"these figures are much smaller than it has
been our good fortune to ehronicle for any
similar period." The first halfot 1879 show-ed
a remarkable diminution, th* liabilities of
that period being ooly sixty live millions as
against one hundred and thirty millions in
the same period of 1878. The six mouths
just past show a reduction of as great a aatio
•ven on these reduced figures, the loss by bad
dsbta being ouly one-half of the same period
of last vear, aud one-fourth that of the first
half of 1878. This diminution of losses is
another illustration of the generally improv-ed
condilion of business.
—A strange and ghastly thing happened
the other day at Bossitto, in Lomhardy. A
man had buried his wife. In the evening hi
returned home, and went to hie bedroom.
There, to his unspeakable '.orror, he saw
lying on the bed the body i her whom, a
lew hours before, be had si n put six feet
under the ground. Hn rushed lerror-strick-su
to the mayor, and called tho police. They
returned in company to the house. There
wss no mistake j the wife's body was actual-ly
lvir.g on the bed. An investigation follow-ed.
The grave was opened, slid the cofilu
fuuud empty. The undertaker had fo'gotlen
to put in the corpse before screwing down
the lid, and nobody had discovered the mis-take.

part of the committee and in the
name of the convention o.' the in
tional dero, cratia party, the ofucial
announcement of your nomination.11
Mr. Eo;.sh, in reply, spoke as
follows:
'•Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee: As a practical bua-iues.
i an, not . ich accustomed to
indirtcion of actio'i or circur cu-tion
. i speech I will say pU.jly,
aud in a few words, that I accept
the high trust which \ou have ten-dered
me w,-li f'eeliiit ol proloui'd
gratitude, a..d that 1 will at an ear
ly tfkte formally ami in writing
make the acceptance wuieh 1 am
iuiormed is usua. >n eUcU occasions.
In doing this I folly realize the
great reeponsibuiues of tbe situa-tion,
the care, turmoil, anxiety, and
misrepresentations and abuse which
are certain to follow, and 1 under-stand
thoroughly that all tbe re-sources
and power ot onr political
foes from all parts of tht land will
be concentrated against us in In-diana,
my native state, where tbe
first grand battle is to be fought,
and probably tbe most importaut of
all. But there are great occasions
when tbe discbarge ot high patriotic
duties is to be considered above all
personal considerations, and I shall
not disregard the unanimous voice
of the representatives of the major
ity of the American people wbicb
you speak here to-day. [Applause.j
I am profoundly grateful for tbe
high honor which has been confer-red,
and I have an abiding faith
that with tbe favor of God and the
people we shall succeed in tbe con-test."
The speaker was applauded at
tbe close of bis remarks, and than
followed another general hand-sha
king, after whioh tbe party again
boarded the Fletcher and left the
island.

The Raleigh iVeifi of July 14th,
says :—There is jet some uncertain-ty
as to whether Judge Ituxtou will
be a candidate. He is to be in
IJaleigh, we nuderal tod, aud confer
wilh his Executive Committee on
the 22nd inst, when tbe questiou
of resignation of his Judgeship ami
a canvassing tour wi'l be determin-ed.
As the Judge does uot inteud
to resign, aud as tbe committee is
not disposed to go halves and make
su.'li a resignation ot livelihood
accsptable, it is thought tbat the
Judge will be allowed to remain iu
his present office during the cam-paign,

Gen- Hancook at Home.
[By Col. Forney in Progress.!
It is not more than five minutes
from the Battery, in New York, to
Governor's Island, (be military
residence of General Winfield Scott
Hancock, ibe senior major-general
in the regular army, and next in
command to General Sheridan.
Tbe department of General Han-cock
extends over an immense
district, including New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, aud some
other States, and bis offices and
assistants show- the density and
magnitude of bis work. The place
itself is as neat and well-ordered as
a Harden, and when Chevalier Wi-koff
and myself arrived, on Satur-day,
July 9th, I found tbe General
as busy as a great merchant in bis
counting-house. Nothing could
have been more cordial than our
greeting. He looked well—taller
and less corpulent than bis pictures
represent him, and as fresh, quick
and cherry as ever. His confiden-tial
secretary is Col. W.G. Mitchell,
a regular officer, a native of Belle
fonte, Centre Connty, Pennsylva-nia
; one of tbe veterans of Gettys-burg;
tbe same who bore Hancock's
message to Meade when he laid, as
it was supposed mortally wounded,
after tbe terrific conflict on Ceme-tery
Hill, July 3d, 1803. Like
many of the gallant men who now
support Hancock, Colonel Mitchell
was a Republican, his last vote
having been for Abraham Lincoln.
• s s •
Tbe object of my visit to General
Haucock was to confer with him in
regard to bis biography, which 1
am uow writing for Hubhard Broth-ers,
the enterprising publishers of
tbis city.(72.1 Chestnut Si reel,) and
with Mr. It win, my shorthand wri-ter
I sought certain accurate infor
matiou about bisremaikable career.
He was ready to auswer all ques-tions,
arid, when I let', liw secrete-ry,
Colonel Ititehell, handed me a
mass of fresh ami valuable data • * * *
A candidate for President is
compelled to receive ami answer
many letUre, and General Man
cock's mail is pi Ttaous. His
correspondence include* ongratu-lations
from soldier*' (Republicans
and Democrats,) colored men,
editors, foreigners and politicians.
Any one who doubts the steady
seutimeut in favor ol Hancock has
only to glance at these letters The
hope of the ring managers that tbe
furor for Hancock is dying out, or
that it will soon subside, is NO lalla
cious that before tbe 1st of Septem-ber
'lie Republican break tor tho
gallant soldier will become a Conti-nental
revolution.
