mi: water question.
Tho solution of the much-vexed water
question propohed by Senator Rollins is in
genious, ami is probably tlio only possiblo
middle course between an extension of the
Aqueduct and largo increase in tho quantity
of water delivered on the ono band, and .1
general introduction of metres on (ho other.
Senator Rollins proposes to make tho police
water inspectors, and thin ought to bo done
in any event. Then he proposes that house
holders shall adopt metres, or failing to do
bo, shall bo linblu to have their premises in
spected without notice, and if found nasting
water, have tho pipes so changed that they
can only obtain thirty gallons each day. To
be complete Senator Rolllns's bill needs to
mbody soino means of repressing wasto in
the public buildings and grounds. It is too
broadly assumed that the people are incura
bly negligent in using water, and that tho
largo supply is dissipated entirely through
their wastefulness. Tho facts are that tho
most wanton waste is that for which officers
of the Government aro responsible. It is
notorious that during tho drought of last
summer, whilu citizens on tho high grounds
wero Buffering for water to preserve health
and cleanliness, fountains in tlio public
grounds were kept spouting water not upon
the sward and shrubbery which wore dying
for tho lack of It but simply to run to wasto.
This was not occasional, but constant, and
was kept up in defiance of the protestB of
the community and the press. Wo hold that
tho degreo in which tho community, as dis
tinguished from tho Government, is respon
sible for tho enormous consumption of water
in this city cannot bs determined until tliero
Is some way of restricting this insulting,
needless, and wanton wasto by putllo officers.
As to tho assertion that no system of in
spection will check tho wasto, so as to make
it posalblo to dispenso with the odious inetro
system, wo must Insist that it yet remains to
be proved, for there has surely never been
any thorough system of Inspection In operation
in this city, and, as wohavo pointed out, none
Is possible until It Is made to Include public
as well as private buildings and grounds.
A larger police forco I. urgently needed hero.
Tho duties of water Inspection can be per
formed at efficiently by theso offlcer as by
any others, ninl by reason of their greater
numbers tho waste of water ran ho watched
and ihrikod by thorn to an ezteut not within
the power of any hlblo uirps of meio
water Inspectors.
The plan of Senator Rollins has the merit
of permitting people who villi 111,0 tho water
carefully to go on with 110 other iuenn
vuiileucai than nu 011-uloual visit of inspec
tion. And pending measure fur incrcanlug
the supply it may be tho best thing to be
done, piovldcd the statute includes uomu
means of repressing wasto by ufflicu of tho
(lovirnmeut, who aro surely Juitas responsl.
bio to Congress ai private cltliens, and ought
to bo Included In the purview of any tilth
measure as this.
We khould not leave thu subject, however,
without oliitllig out that nothing has yet

A DEMOCRAT WE CAN ELECT.
Tliero is but ono Democrat prominent for
the nomination al Cincinnati who ran In all
probability bo elected if nominated. That
ono Is Wlnflcld Scott Hancock. Ho is n
Major General in tho Army, and some object
to this, saying, " Wo do not want any moro
"military Presidents." Theso objections
come, howovcr, mostly from thoso who did
not llko tho war for tho Union, who thought
the war a failure while it as being waged,
and who aro not suro yet that it was not on
the whole n failure, since one of Its Incidents
was tho relegation of thoso who think so to
tho condition of a hopeless minority politi
cally. It la oasy enough to understand this
feeling, for thoro Is no position so dlsagreea
bio for an active partisan as that of tho Op
position during a great and popular war.
Yet lu a govomnicnt by parties thcro must
bo a Constitutional Opposition. Unless tliero
issomoouo to criticise its conduct of publlo
affairs tliero can be no duo check kept upon
tho party In power, and this applies to times
of war qulto as much as to times of peaco.
Yet this function of opposition Is a most un
lucky ono for thoso compelled to assume it
during a war period. V.vcn Clay and Web
Bter, incomparably tho greatest statesmen of
their ago, could not be oleoled to the Presi
dency after their opposition to tho aunexa
ution of Toxas and tho war with Mexico.
Now tho very fact that General Hancock
Is in the Army Is what has given him his su
preme availability. Tho Democracy has been
torn by dlssonslons upon questions of vital
Interest to the people, and every actlvo poli
tician haB been compelled to take moro or less
part in tho dispute over theso questions.
The central features of tho financial discus
sion are as far from final settlement as over,
for on ono hand are iho advocates of a paper
currency composed exclusively of .Govern
ment legal tenders, and on tho other tho ad
vocates of ono composed exclusively of bank
notes. On tho one hand are the advocates
of a single gold standard, and on the other the
advocates of a bl-mctallic standard. A third
party enters tho field and proposes n candi
date upon the ground that tho attitude of
neither of the old parties is satisfactory
upon tho great monetary issue. And tho
third party has divided the Opposition to
such an extent that it lias theroby let not
less than thirty seats in the lower Honse of
Congress. Of equal difficulty aro tho ques
tions raised by tho relation of the Govern
ment, and therefore of political parties, to tho
tariff, and to the great railway system of
tho country. All theso present questions of
much delicacy and difficulty, and yet not
0110 nor all of them is ically tho central and
controlling issuo that is to be decided by the
autumn elections. A majority of the Demo
crats and a majority of the Republicans
would concur In tho declaration that their
Uews upon the currency or tho tariff aro
not tho chief or controlling reason why they
voto for their own candidates and against
those of the opposite party.
Hence, whllo there aro other Democrats
whoso war records, If not as brilliant as that
of General Hancock aro just as unimpeach
able, they would lose votes on account of
their known views respecting thoso disputed
questions upon which, tho lines as between
tho two old parties aro not tightly drawn,
whllo ho can stand simply as the representa
tive of tho distinctive policy of tho Constitu
tional Democracy. Thoro will bo difficulty
enough In framing a platform to meet the
now phabos of the questions that for the last
ten years havo been creating dissensions
within tho Democratic ranks, without having
a candidate whoso record will have to bo cut
or stretched to fit the platform. General
Hanceok's freedom from political entangle
ments, owing to his position in the Regular
Army, is ono of the two great points in his
f.ior. Tlio other and greater Is that ho is
the most conspicuous and brilliant Union
soldior now available to head a ticket whose
greatest weakness will be that It is so solidly
supported by thoso who fought on tho other
side. If the ex-Confederates think tho lime
has ooino when they can safely show tholr
preference for an old line Democratic civilian
over a Union soldier like Hancock they will
make a mistake only second to Jhat they
mado when they disrupted their party rather
than havo Stephon A. Douglas for President,

ENGLISH MONARCHY AND
YOUNG NAPOLEON.
Wo disagreo oftenor than wo ogree with
Mr. Frederic Harrlscn, when ho writes on
subjects connected with British politics. His

South Africa in tho Portnightly Renew pro

Tliero has been nothing lu tho recent his

to discredit tho Idea of a constitutional mon

in tho respect of tho liberty-loving and law

tatious friendship of tho Queen and her chil

uf Stato may have dictated the cordiality
which began with tho Anglo-French alliance
at tho time of the Crimean War, but when
thu I.'inplro was succeeded by tho Republic
it was as bad in taste as It m in Interna
tional jiolley to treat tho friendliness as one
personal to the. dethroned usurpers instead
of what It ought to have been, tlz,: a friend
ship between two natlous having common
Inlt rests at stake. Writing to a recent eon
ftremo of remonstrants against tho step
taken by Dean Stanley, Mr, Harrison says:
The Abbr) Is tho irsllog-place of groat Kiigllthnieu,

THE PROTECTION OP PAPER.
Mr. Joseph Mcdlllhaswrlltennlclter on tho
duty on paper and wood pnlpwhlch makes It
clear that those duties aro not protective but
tho contrary. They aro, In fact, even worso
than anti-protective, lor they embody evils
of two widely different classes. They con
stltulo n tax on the diffusion of knowledge,
and ihoy discriminate against tho more Im
portant Industry to favor Iho les Important.
Wlicroonoman Is employes! In making paper
or wood pulp a hundred aro employed lu Iho
art of printing. It may bo said that Just as
many will find employment on newspapers,
for example, when paper Is dear as when It
is cheap. This Is not true. Tho newspaper
cannot safely roduco Its slie. Hut the neces
sity for retrenchment must bo met and will
fall at once on tho labor the publisher em
ploys, since It cau fall nnnlicro else, lly
employing larger typo and reducing tho
composition bills lu tho ways pule
Ushers so easily understand they can
lop off tho wages ol compositors to
make up for the Increased cost of whlto
paper. They will also nilnco tho psyof
numbers of reporters and correspondents,
and thus diminish the pay-roll whllo the
quality of the news and comment furnished
will bo deteriorated. Tho business of print
ing is of such vastly greater Importance
than that of making paper, that It Is simply
monstrous to tax tho greater Industry to
enrich a few wealthy manufacturers. The
Intelligence of the American people wine
ono hundred-fold more from tho general read
ing of nowspApcrs by tho cople than from
their common schools. The marvelously
cheap form lu which tho best of the stand
ard Knglish literature Id now furnished Is
another powerful educator and one the
effects of which will bo felt by fuluro genera
tions. Tho cost of paper is r. most Impor
tant element In this machinery for the spread
of knowledgo a machinery which has far
outstripped tlio dieams of the Glraids and
Smlthsons, who have sought to Iwiicill their
fellow-men by endonlng Institutions to servo
the same end.
As for the wood-pulp millionaires, ttho
prostitute their seats in Congress to maintain
their monopoly, their vourso Is Just ns cor
rupt as if they sold their votes. As long ns
publlo opinion n 111 permit this sort of thing
a thing which the fathers sought to guard
against by enacting that bankers should bo
Ineligible to seals in Congret.3 and that im
porters could not becomo Secretaries of the
Treasury wo may expect a carnival of ras
cality in publlo life. To howl about a de
ficiency In tho Star Service, and bo sllont
about tho flagrant Immorality of members
voting money directly Into their own banks
or mills will not justify any talk in tho
House of Representatives about Refoim.

The following from tho Erening Mafl 011
"Tho Price of leo" Is timely, and apidles tn Wash

Of course, the Ice crop forneit summer has all liceu

Tho Hudson rlter irophis nearly fallnd, nnd were It
not for Malno there would necessarily Ira a scarcity of
Ice during tho summer. Ilut New Kngland has gath
ered such au abundant crop that no Middle. Stato need

tho heated term. Net erthcless, tho leo companies are
already demanding extravagant prices, and if their
demands go higher with tlio mercury, before tho end
of tho caon the consumers will gro in under tho bur
den of shameful cxtortiou. It Is not probable that
w hllo the winters of .Maine continue to Im, ns rigorous
nsnow Ice will eter be scarce In New York, except
as a combination of ice dealers restricts ttie supply
broughttoour market. If consumers are compiled
to pay three or four prices for ko next summer It will

Tho following comments upon the Hill
scandal, which wo find in the Uoston Times, a Re
publican Journal, are so true nnd 6cnslblo that we
cannot forbear quoting them In full, as expressing
Just what we would say on the same subject i
If, as Is probable, tho 1 1 111 scandal is a slunile case
blackmail, the conduct of certain new spatters In
resett tn It Is beneath contempt. Tlio blackmailer Is
iiko ucaui, in mat lie or sno or It iotean shining
mark, and it Is natural to aupposo that tho miserable
Georgia female, who has been Irting to bleed beuator
DIM, was ledtosclect him n her victim partly on
account of his prominence In public lire, nud rurlly
lieeause ho has bitter enemies andrhalt In blsown
btatc.nho,ttwas presumed, would beonly too ready to
take up n hue and cry against him. 'Iho New York
Times nl jeslerday contained an exceedingly incan
splrlled article cone erulng this scandal uuai tide full
of uircfully-plirased, but malicious Insinuations and
unjustifiable assumptions. Mlthout saying It out
right, It lutliuatui that Senator Hill has cause to fear
thewomauwho accuses lllm, and that hlsfearaof
her led bliu to exert his lnflucnco as a Siuator to haio
herexpelleil from the tlsltors' gallery. It dransa
plcturoof a "weak-faced woman" silting In tlio
Senate gallery, with a to.v-hcailul child, gazing uimn
"tho chlvalrlc Senator ' ' below, whllu the beholders
giggle nt the mortifying eiwctacie. The Implication
Is that If a Senator does not like that sort of thing. It
must be because be hat n guilty conscience. It has
not, perhaps, occurred to the 77iietthat au Innocent
man. placed in Senator Hill's itosltlon, must feel
molly mortified;' and further that no man, In or nut
of public life, is exompt from tho liability of such ac
cusutluns, A man's good name and pret lous honor
able record must lio taken as evidence In hit favor In
the absence of conclusive testimony of hit guilt, and
In Mr. Hill's case we aro glad tn say that (hern Is no
color of trntlilnthethainclesslndlrlineiit. Moreover,
theteryfact that tho neiuiutUouor seduction oifd
desertion was mado publlo by the woman proves that
tho Senator had refused to give hunb money a clrrum
stancuwldch certainly does not jioliitlohlseuliublllly,
for had he been thu scoundrel he Is charged with
being he would havu drained his purse to the very
bottom rather thin allowed the scandal to become
publlo property.

by corrupt methods, aided by tieachery to the parly

Money may Im and Is used In imllllcAl campaigns
for many projcr objects: but fo wte money fo carry
primaries Is to vitiate tht nvichtnerjt of norernweut

tions lu the Interest of a randldalo n nnjorlty of tho
Democrats of the country liellove cannot In any event
carry ids own State, who could not bo elected If nom
inated, and who would not tako theomco If elected.
This Is hutone Illustration of Iho corrupt methods and
reltlsh puiponcsnf thoo who seek to rule or ruin the
Pennsylvania Democracy.
Voluntary organization', llko political parties, can
not exist without submission tn tho w 111 of tho mi
Jorlty. The Democrats of Philadelphia wcic, until
about two jotrs ago, well organized. Ily shrewd
management and strong nnniluitlons they had se
cured control of Important branches of tho city gov
ernment and nf considerable patrti, ";e. Ilut as
might bo expected, tho loaders of this healthy and
gruwlng pirty were not of the sort to bo tho toots of
nny one mm or set of men. 1 he two Samuels (Tilden
and Itiudall) believed they could not bo used forsclf

Itrrormlngclty politics under tho leadership or Illll
McMullen Is a rarclcal Idea, but a characteristic uf
the school of politicians who set this Intrlguo at work
Is that they really despise the people. The object of
this bolt from thu party lu Philadelphia was lo have
contesting delegations with which, by tho aid of dele
gations procured by siicltmeaus as wero lately re
sorted tn lu Pittsburg to steal tho control of the State
Convention aud hand It niei to Tilden and Randall.
This outrageous gouge gamo wltl bo attempted nu tho
SSth, unless tho Democracy of Iho Sbito hive the
manhood to set their foot upou It In advance.
Does not Iho plot of thlsso-called Vaux Democracy,
with Its mowed Intent of demanding admission to
thoSUto Convention, (although tho lato municipal
election, In spite of herculean efforts, supported In
part by Republicans who desire Sir, Tllden's nomina
tion, showed that It Is nothing hut n faction,) fully
prove tho troachery to tho party and the rulo or ruin
policy charged uion Its promoteis.
The newspapers controlled by this set of schis
matics have for months past been filled with nlmie of
Senator Wallace, and they grow moro reckless nnd
virulent In disseminating their falsehoods aslho Con-
venilou draws near. Consider the position of the
Senator. Ills term expires on tho 4th of March.
Ills political future is Involved In this tear's elec
tions. What ho naturally mot nrdently desires la
a Democratic victory this fall nnd the election of a
Dcmricratlc Legislature. Thus It haptens that his
persona! interests and thoso of his party aio coinci
dent. Foisting upon tho rarty a weak candidate
will destroy his own chances. Ho has therefore the
strongest Incentive to seek his party's good, la it
not a roasouablo ambition for a Senator lo sock a ro
clectlou? Senator Wallace his organized tho only
victories the Pennsylvania Democracy have achieved
tlucothowar. It cannot be other than his desire to
cooperate with the prevailing sentiment of a majority
of his party and aid it In a vigorous nud successful
canvass. Hence bo Is reckonod friendly tu the
nomination of Ooueral Hancock, not that ho Is un
friendly to other candidates, but betauso Hancock Is
most likely to harmoulze all tho elements of opposi
tion to Radicalism, and to attract the voles which
will bring success.
Now, aro Speaker Randall's Interests specially lu
v olvcd In tho coming Stato Com cntloii ? Is tliero any
good nason why ho and bis organs should seek to de
stroy Senator Wallace 7 Ought ho not to be content
with bis own reClcctlon and tlio high ofllco with which
he la now honored V And Is not tho course Ida fileuds
are pursuing one calculated Jo Inrlto and provoke
such a retaliation ns many Democrats would deploie ?
Tho only explanation which Impartial men havo
been nlilo to offer for Mr. Randall's t'ourao Is that ha
has got lu his bonnet that Presidential bee which In
fects with Insanity all it touches, ami that ho hopes
tho gratlludoof Mr, Tlldeti will push hlui forwurd,
Tho course of Messrs Randall aud llarr has nut
even tho merit of consistency; for both have advo
cated tho nomination of General Hancock, and op
pose It now when all tho reasons that ever urged it
have only acquired tumulatho force. The distrac
tions of tho New York Democracy, tlio desperate con
dition of the party In Virginia, Mr, T llden'a unpopu
larity theie aud In other Southern states, thelmjior
taueoof combining the votesof greenback and hard
money men, the fact that the Solid South, which did
not exist In 1870, gives tbe sectional Issue fresh viwer
for evil all jiolnt to the nomination of General Han
cock as tho wisest that can bo made.
Tbe chief grounds of attack upon beuator Wallace aie
that be has trafficked w lib Cameron aliout nltlrri, tliat
he jiermltted Marslial Kerns to be confli ined, and that he
procured tho rejection of J, D, Clark as supervisor of
tho Fifth Census District, Tho statement of Senators
McDonald and Garland disposes of tho Kerns slander.
The Clark caso only needs lo be understood. At every
ono knows, when the President and Senate are of op
jioslte politics mutual toncesidous are necessary or tho
public business must stop. When tho Census Act was
passed It was Iho distinct understanding that lit
patronago should not lie used fur parly advantage,
Tho Senate, as was lit right, has Hoo.1 out for a fair
division of tho survlvir.ulu. The President has
overriden General Walker, tho able and fair chief of
the Census Iliiro.au, and has lesnilod lo every tbh
means lo sow dissension among the Deiuot rats.and thus
divide and break down their majorities lu the Senate.
Tho nomination of Slniiuous, of Georgia, wat ono
example of this, bo being obnoxious to the Democrats
of that State, where ho would have prostituted Ida
patronago to build up thn Iudeiendeut faction. In
Ohio a list waa sent In most objeetlonablo totholwu
Democratic Senators, and tho whole wero proporly
rejected. In Pennsylvania tlio beat luuans Mr, Haves
eould find tulujiilu tbe Dtiluociaey va lo j-enutt
Sjicnkcr Randall nnd Ida tools lu tho llouso to name
as supervisors lueu known fo bo bostllo to Senator
Wallace. The Constitution sajs tho Senato lutitt
"advise and consent" to these apjwjlnliucnts. Meiu
licriof the House hue no such duly liupusod upou
thein. Thclratlcuipt todletateappolutmeiittlsusur

TheiiuiulnatlouofMr. (Taikwat Iho fruit of au In

President only too glad lo Injure theiuau who had
taken the lead In exKsliig the iniquities of the federal

gives Senators Wallace and Cameron rights lu theso

bills, ghculheui by Ihetaiuo organic law. Neither
bate theilght to lutoifire with thu duties and pio

Mr, Rrooks Is styled "A CciitcnnlalTdcmory," Tbe

appreciation lu Uda biographer, who enriches his
work with a great variety of personal Illustration and
anecdote ami keen appreciation, brought together
with singular freedom from literary pretension, and
without tho tendency lo discourse which la apt to mar
such works, We get an Interceding glimpse of the
formation of Channlng's inodo of thought In the
desctlptloii of his student life at llarvardi
The sillily that liccnme moio aud moio a favorite
passion with joung Channlng, at Ids rollega llfo went
ou, was that of moral philosophy. The reading of
tho btolca no doubt reviled and reinforced the impres
sions of the majesty and might of human virtue, of
disinterested rectitude, and tho sensoof iho dignity
and divinity of all goodness, whleli as a Ixiyholuul
received from the old Stole of his native town,
lliitchcson and Ferguson were tho two KnglUh w rltert
who did most lo stir up In hit soul lhatsei.se, of the
f;raudeur of mail' t nature and de.tlny which wat to
the guiding and lusplrlng genius uf hit lire. In
Ferguson's "History of Civil Society" one chapter
which perhaps especially attracted and ImpresMal lilm
was the one on "Slornl Sentiment," In which Hie
author so vigorously nunbals Iho Utilitarian doctrine
lit morality, audio which incurs this slrlklug Illus
tration! "The foreigner, who believed lhat Othello,
ontheslagu, wat enraged fur the lost nf Ida hand
kerchief, waa not moro mistaken than the reasoner
who Imputes any of the more vehement passions nf
men to the liupreisliins of mere pronlor lust." Tu

Channlng, wo may well upiose, was diawu, not

character and spirit of thn cheeiful, serene, audi,
novolent author, so happily rellerted In the Midi

Thoro was a hroozo in YoungBtown, Ohio,
recently, lutl.eMlnuloFalraor "Hoarding School"
party. William J. Scanlon haa been very attentive
toMlnnle, and rumor haa It that they proposo to be
married. Forsonw unexplained reason the lady's
mother concelveifn violent dislike for Scnnlou , which
she was not alow to exhibit quite frequently. Satur
day morning week Miss Palmer atarted from her
room to breakfast, aud was mot Just outside of the
door by Mr. Scanlon, who wai. awaiting to escort her
down stairs. Her mother discovered what sho be
lieved to be the fulfillment of a preconcerted arrange
ment, nnd ordered the lady back to her room. Miss
Palmer refused to comply with the maternal wishes,
whereupon her mother ordered her baggago takeii to
the depot, and, purchasing n ticket for New York,
left en the early train for that dly. It la claimed by
those lu a posltlou lu know, that the mother of the
actress kept tier locked up virtually all the tlmo whllo
with her. Minnie and Millie now have It all their
own way.
The Loudon correspondent of the New York
Mirror tells the following new ttory about Clara Mor
rill 1 wat silting In the shadows of the Poets Corner
tome years ago when a party made up of Americans
grouped themselves about Iho slab above Charles
Dickens. Duo of them, a oung woman of much
emutlonal action, whom 1 afterward learned to Ihi
Clara Morris, the New York actress, wept cleat teara
ami be trayed unusual grief. In her bands si.o carried
ahugebuuehef violets, which, with tragic gesture,
she tticwrd broadcast over the pavement! than turn
ing aside, quite overcome, she leanest her head oua
friend's shoulder. In I bat moment a tidy verger,
with a rush brumi, swiftly aud dtflly gathered the
whole tribute lulo a pan. 1 cannot readily forget the
anger and astonishment depleted on Ihe actress' a face.
"Why, hang the man," she exclaimed, "That
heata Ihe Iranifoimtllon scene In a pantomime but
here we aro sgalu, Mr, Merrrman," And again she
piiatured a supply of violets from a l-asket and teal
iertd Ihem about. "Go out the riled tnber party;

Tho New York Tribune ventures tho rcmatk
that If Ihe Pennsylvania Democrats are able to sjnd a
Hancock delegitlon to the Cincinnati Cententlon tho
General will nt once become a formidable candidate
If .Mis own State, remarks the TrfSunMs solid behind
liltn, ho will bo likely to gather recruits from alt other
quarters. And then tho Trillins goes on to say that
his sudden development as n probable candidate Is one
more ovldenco If the revivifying effect which the
prospect of n third term has upon the Democratle
party. Tho Tribune Is nn nncotnpromlslng opponent
of Gen. Grant's pretensions to the Republican nomi
nation, and It Is disposed to attribute all aymptons of
gathering strength In the Dcmoctatlc party to tho In
fluence of the third-term movement. Ilut this Is by
no means what gives Gen. Hancock his greatstrcngth.
It Is very tine tliat Ids candidacy would give peculiar
rolhttblhe opposition to Gen. Grant. It would be
he candidacy of Iho exponent of the Idea of the
supremacy of the civil law, and of tho maintenance
of ft constitutional Union with ft government of
specified and limited powers, In opposition to tho
candidacy of tho exponent of the Idea of military
supremacy, personal government, and ft consolidated
nationality with ft government released from tho fet
ters of constitutional limitations. Hut Gen. Han
cock, nn theso imlnts, would equally antagonize any
Republican candidate, because any Republican candi
date must represent tho purscs which the Republi
can party have In view, nnd the Ideas by which that
organization Is now governed. Tho tssuo has been
bro nil presented to the country by the outspoken de
clarations of the Republican leaders, by tho Republi
can Journals, nnd by tho partisan decision of tho
Snpiemo Court,
ltcnmicthonvortcd, Tho Republicans are deter
mined to press It: tho Democrats are ready to accept
It. It will constitute tho main Issue of the contest of
H80, who'horOcn. Grantor nny other man shall be
tho Republican candidate. As wo havcalrcady shown,
Gen. Hancock Is a man who can combine In one har
monious body of support all the elements of political
opinion which, differing nathoy may on other points
nro agreed on this one. It Is Impossible to assume
thatlstmeof anv other prominent Democrat. Ite-
cont developments show tint Democrats throughout
the country nro rapidly coming to an appreciation of
this truth. Tho crushing defeat of Mr. Tllden's
;heme to control the l'ennsv van a convention Is pe
culiarly significant, lieeause It was not only n dereat
of tho supporters of Tilden, tint It was triumph or
the supportersof Hancock. The result Is, by some of
mo iiennpnicn,, rrgarucu ns n victory ni renaror wai
lacoover Speaker Randall; but It has n much wider
meaning than this. Its meaning Isthat Randall Is weak
becauso his candldato Is weak, and Wallaco la Strom:
because his candidate Is strong. Thoro can he llltlo
doubt now that Pennsylvania will elect n roll Hancock
delegation a result which cannot tall to havo nn Im
mense Influence on tho country. The voto of New
York for Tilden would bo recognized ns only tho volco
or n political machines tho fact remaining that Mr.
Tilden cannot carry thoState, although It Is thoroughly
Democratic. Tho volte of Pennsylvania for Hancock
would lie tccognlzcdns tho volco of tho party, giving
expression to Us prercrenco for a candldato who.
In all probability, could carry the Stale, although It Is
regarded as essentially Republican. Louisiana, also,
will in all probability choo-oa Hancvck delegation.
So, probihiy, will Mississippi and Toxas and Arkan
sas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama,
Indeed It Is hard to conceive why Iho Democracy nf
nny Southern Slate should hold aloof from Gen. Han
cock. Hence tho ZVftune Is right when It says that
Geu. Hancock Is fast becoming a formidable caudl
dale. He Is formidable not only to his Democratic
competitors, but the Republican party, who see In
hlm n man against whom their favorlto weapons
would be powerless and their chosen ammunition ho
wasted.
