English. eur candidates ñor president and vice president, Gen. Haneock's letter is Kort, terse and directly to the point. It is thoroughly characteristic of the man. He takes the constitution as his guide, and expresse, In language so plain and so strong that none can .mistake ït.. his Bbiiüng faith in the wisdom and the power of that Instrument to point the way tfrthe correct government f the peoplë of the United States. Gen. Hancock gives expression to whole Tolumes of meanfng when liesays: "If cfilTed to the Premdency, I should deoni it my duty to resist with all my power any attemnt to Lnlpairor evade the fuH tante and effect of the Constitution. which in every artiele, seetion and amendment is the supreme law of the land. The Constitution forms the basis of the govemment of the United States. The powers granted by it to the Legislative, Executiveaad Judicial Departraents define and lirpit the autliority of the general government. The powers nut, dslegated to the Ui:ited States by the Constitution. nor prohibí ted hy it to the State, bëlong to the Ftatet! respectively, or to the people. G en 1 and State governments. each actin? in its own sphere witliout trenehing npon the lawfdi jnrisdiction of the ether, con st i tute tb.e Union."

Hancock rebukes fraud and force ín politics, and denounces the baronet as an instrument forcarning elections. The civil service question is touched upon briefly and pointedly.

Hancock 's, and it diseusses quite fully many important questions hefore tbe people, It is thoronghly and earnest'y Detnoeraüie from first to last. The letter is full, free and fiir in its discussion of public afluir, nnd shows tliat its autbor is a man who ís. thoroughly convereant witb out governmont and knows it needs. lie has seen tbe abuses which have Sprang u-pvinder Republicau misrule, and pointe out the remedies. The letter bears the impress of a man of vigor and brains. Thé letters, taken together, are preeminently sound and satisfactory.- Tb6fy dodge no issue,they quibble at uo Ioint. They are the productions of upright, clean-handed men, who, if eleoted President and Vice President Of tbe United States, will administer thisgovetnment in au honest manner. The last hope the Republicana had óf carryiiifiX. V. State tbis fall has vanished into thin air. They cherished the liope that the local (uarrels of Tamrnany and anti-T;inimany in New York would perbaps be bo bitter that Taiumany would refnse to wlthdr&w its electoral ticket without some sort of eoneession on tbe part of the anti-Tammanyites. Thp.y built castles in the air on the idea that TVmnmny would demmd repres' utiiiion on the electoral ticket and w túd make that the conditioa 'if its allsgiance to Hancock and tnliah. at one fèll blow all their hopes of thecontinued disniption of the Democratie party in N. Y. State have been dashed to the proiind. Recently the Tammany State Committee met in Bvatoga and cvery elector tendered bis resignation. These resignations were aecepted, no appointmepts were made to fill the vacancies, and Tammany ill support tb ) regular ticket without any tf or ands, Therefore the Democracy of N. Y. State (-vters the canvass firm and nnited. Wiöl the Democracy united the victory is half won. The regalar electoral ticket will receive the '■ vote of every Democrat In that state. The Indianapolis People, spfeaWng of Hon. Wm. H.J?nglish,says: "ÏTot only Demócrata, but the people generally, are welt pleased with the selection of Mr. English. He has never been a rabid pattiata. Ilis record is without êtain or blemish. He is a man of splendid executive ability and superior business qualifications. He is a tlioro-ughly practical man- one who, so far as he is concerned, will run the country's vast business as he wouldhis own, which has always been managed successfully, with credit and honor to himself. As the Vice President of the country Mr. English will be no mere flgure-head. A better seleclion could hardly have been made had the enüic country been hnnted over." Prop )sing to run this campaign with as littitt mud-slüiging as powibte, we will adxnit to these columns nothiug but republican testünony against Mesrs. Garfleld and Arthur,
