DIDN'T “BATIFY.” The Republicans did not “ ratify? their nomnations Immediately after the Chicngo Conyentlon, and some of the Democratic or- gans found in this fact much comfort and en- couragement, But the explanation Is shnple and satisfactory to tho Republicans thom- selves, ‘he campaign for the noinination was long and fierce. There was much fac- tlon-fighting. Me's feelings were ns deeply enllsted almost ag In a Presidential cam- paign, Important prinelples were Involved, ‘Che Convention was prolonged over a week, ‘or, Including the preliminary work, ten days, ‘Lhe unit rulo was disenssed mud abrogated, District representation was established, Thirty-six ballots were taken, and In thom all the fortunes of two or more SIlustrious party-leaders wero Involved,” Theantl-third- - term feeling wes very strong, and equally so the devotion of Gen. Grant’s partisans to their chosen leader, a ‘The reaction was bound to come. ‘Tho human mind {8 capable of bearing astrain only for a short time, Tha- nerves. must reat, ‘Tho lyases will grow tired, Mon can’t lie always excited about politics; always saving the country and noglecting thelr busl- ness; always skirmishing about lobbies and adorning “ headquartoga.” ‘Chere must ba Intervals of Industry., Campalgn-funds must be earned ns ‘well ns spent. ‘The aniet which followed the adjonrmment. of the Chicago Convention was like that which succeeds 9 heated Presidential enin- palgn, sluply anunalloyed contont, It camo “Ike the benediction which.follows after prayer,” No Republican was dissatisfled with Gar- ficld. Nono feared that he could not bo elected. Ho was everybody's second choice. All admitted that he would unite the party and inspire an onthuslustic campalgn, It was folt on all sides that he wauld be a grow- ing candidate. But there were five months to do tho ratifying In, and the thre workers not wannturally thought It might be wise to rest the first month, so that the soreness of the Inte canvass might entirely disappear, and the whole party, forgotting that it ever had beon divided, might jolu in a vigorous and successful campaign, ‘The experienes of the Democrats was different, ‘Ihe masses of tho purty had but ong great. desire: to escape the nomination of Tilden, thelr Old Man of the Sea, Some ot them would have liked to nominate ‘Thur man, but they knew that tho -Hepublicans could beat Thurman. ‘They would have been proud of Bayard, but thoy felt he was an impossible candidate, 'Ehoy would Nave rojoleed over Seymour, but thoy could not gethim. “‘Uhey aceldontally tumbled to Ifancock, and felt that thoy Jind discovered their Moses, It was a happy deliverance from cholco of evils, ‘The canvass had beon comparatively quiet. ‘ho Convention was perfectly harmonious, ‘The nomination, was made on the second Instead of the thir- ty-sixth ballot. No tine was spont In tho settlomentof acrimonious disputes, Andthe Demucracy suddenly found thelr Inbors com: pleted, and a great stock of uuburnt powder and rhetorical reworks on hand, ‘The first Impulsowas to let thom off; anc away they wont with faz, bang, and tlira thatsmight woll be inistaken for genulaie enthusiasms: But the Democrats havo now dono’ ratlfy- ing, and the Republicans: faye begun, ‘The other day Faneull Mall, the old Uradte of Liberty in Boston, rocked under: the ine fluence of ono of tho greatest Republican mossincetings ever known. It we are not vastly mistaken, a popular outpourlig of Repubjicans will gcon po sven in this city, and the movement will spread all over the country, The love, respect, and cuthusiasm ofthe Republicans for Gartleld have Increased with reflection. ‘he Democratle ardor for Hancock, on tho other hand, has perceptibly cooled. From this thne on the advantage will bo with the Republicans, as their candi-, data has an {nimunse seserye force, and tho Democratic caudidate has none, Thero wilt soon bu no complaints from any Democratic quartgr that the Republicans are not ratifying welt or showing to proper degrep of enthu- sinsmn, Who Mtepublican campllres will svon be lighted with anthracite, aud the warn, stendy, pormanent glow they give forth will afford quite n cheorful contrast to the Demo- cratic sputters of tar and turpentine, HANCOOR'S G! L IN8I DINATION. ‘tho slatament mado that Gen, Hancock, a subordinate oflicor of the regular army, tn anticipation of tho action of Congress on tho Presidentini count In February, 1877, volun- teered the information that he would, as a military commander, ststain Tilden tn his claim to the Preshtency and would recognize him asthe President of the United. States, seems to be confirmed, and is hardly doubted, Army oMcers are subordinate (3 the Inw in times of peace, and nt alt times are subordi- nite to their superiors Incommand, Even the oflicers ‘of the army who joined in , tha Rebellion had the decency to realign thelr commissions before taking @rvico in tho Civil War, At the time men- tioned Gen, Grant was President; there was 110) qnestion as to his: authority until the expiration of his term of ofites, Gon, Sherman was General of the Army, and Sheridan was Lieutenant-General, and both were stipertor in rank to Hancock, Io could only net in subordination to them, and to orders through thom, or declaro himselfin revolt. He stoud in the same relation to hts superiors in cummand that the Sergeant or Corporal stood to 9 Captain or Colonel of his reginent, or towards Gen, Hancock himself, As an officer, receiving his orders through, his sniitary superiors, he had no more legut right to set himself up to judge of their authority than had any Cor- poral or private to decide whether he should obey his commanding oficer, Hf. Gen. Naneock actually informed porsons in Congress that, If the inding of tho Electoral Commission should be disregard- ed and Tilden should assert his authority, as President, he (Unneock). would pay no attention to his superior oMcers, but, act- ing on his own judgment as to who wns President, would take the field inthe new elvil war, thon his conduct was disgraceful to hint us a soldier and a cltizen, It is also stated that, when President Lincoln removed McClollan from tha com- mand of tho’ army, Iancock was active In urging that the order be disobeyed; that the army bo marched to Washington and that the Government be compelled to continue McCtellan in command; and that this pro- eccding only failed because of McClellan's refusal to take the responalbility. The proof of this scheme {3 sald to be in'existence, but the country will walt until that pivot 1s pro- duced before accepting such a monstrous In- stance of political and mullltary perfidy. When Gen. Hancock was in command In New Orleans In the winter of 1807-8, he Is- sued an order removing a majority of the City Couneil and other civil oficers in New Orleans and appointed others. Gon, Grant, who was thon General of the Army, and at Washington, upon belng ofelally informed of this proceeding telegraphed Hancock to suspend the execution of the order and to ro~ port all the facts and circumstances. ‘To this Vancock responiied that ho was on the spot, and was Informed of the facts, and considered that his position as Commander of the Depart- nent entitled him to an exemption from any Interference by the General of the Army, As to the clreunistances, the fact that he had issuerl the order wus sufliclont as to the propriety of the order itself, Tho letter was remarkublo for the tone of Ingubordina- tion which marked it from beginning to ond. ‘The General of the Army, however, insisted on his authority, and in due time Hancock , Wag coinpelled to revoke his order dismissing the varlous offtcers, and compelled to restore them and remove those he hud appotnted, Tho fact is, Gen. Hancock beeamne a poll- tielun secking the Presideney from the day the War tlosed. When Johnson removed Sheridan trom New Orleans he appointed ‘Thomas to that Department, Gen. Grant, in behulf of Thomas, appealed to the President tochango the order, Thomas botng then In poor health, It Is supposed that Hancock, through Jero. Black, sought the nppoint- ment, Intending to exh bit his independence of Congress by carrying out Andrew Johu- son’s policy. “Ills tiratact on ils arrival at New Orleans was to revoke soveral of Sheridan's provious orders, and, while It was not apathy or despair, but, openly disregarding ‘the Inw of Congress, to make hinself conspicuous asa supporter of Jolnson’s policy, In icss than six nonths he was a candidate before the Democratic Convention secking the nomination tor Pres- ident, aud being supported by all the dole- gates from the Rebel States, His sole plat form was his order revoking Sheridan's previous orders, thentost important of which was that allowing negroes to act as jurors, Hancock reyersed this, allowing no negro to be a juror, but allowing the ex-ltcbels to serve in that capacity, it Je ovident that Hancock has had the Presidency on the brain over sineo the War closed, and his expressed willingness to put himself at the hend of any wilftary move- ment to foree Tilden Into tho Presidency shows his extreine anxicty to overturn the Republican party, even by a resort to a civil war which would have cost thousands of lives and set the precedent {n this country for tha adoption of the Moxlcan system of elections. THE SITUATION IN INDIANA. 'Thore aro two circumstances which prom- jxo to placo Indiana, though generally re- gurded aso Democratic State, In the line of doubtful States this fall, Ono ts the avowed disagreement among the Democratic lead- ers, which grow out of tho defeat of IHen- dricks and McDonald for tho Presidential nomination and the cholco of English for the sucond place, ‘The other is the effect of the late decision of the Supreme Court setting asido the constitutional amendments which hud been adopted by the people. Even the Democrats concedo that this decision will in- jure the Interests. of thelr party, though it wus designed to advance them. ‘Tho bad feeling which proyalls among the leading Democratls politicians of Indiana ts apparent on all sides, Hendricks himself Is. irreconellable, and his friends ara mad, ‘They charge that tho movement in the carly sea- sions of the Cincinnatt Convention In behalf of McDonald was the chief tinpodiment in the way of thelr favorit's nominatlon, and they cannot be persunded that McDon- ald himgelf. and those nearest to him ‘id not encourage this movement. Me- Donald's friends, on ‘the other hand, elalm with moro reason that Hendricks nover hind the ghost of nchanco for the nomlin- tion at Cincinnati, and that, if his friends had withdrawn his name even after the first ballot, a combination could have bean made which would have Insured the nomination of McDonald, Both factlons unite, however, In # feellng of disnppotntuont and disgust at tho selection of English, It would not have Deon posulble to sclect any ono among tho prominent Democrats $n Indiana who ts so genorally dullked by hls own party in the Btote as iy Mr, English. He had paved the way for his nomination as Vice-President by frlendly relations with Mfr. Tilden and by im presalng upon the party at large an exag- gerated estimate of his personal wealth, But, if Ikad been understood in the Cén- yeution Low unpopular English Is personally and how little of his wealth he is ikely to distribute this fall for the benefit of tho party, the nomination would never have been glyen to lim. These vurlous antagonisins among the leaders of the Indiana Democracy WL not preyenttbum, of course, from“ sup- ‘unbroken forest, porting? tho ticket, In the usual sonso of tho term; but all of them, except English, will find acortaln sntlafaction in defeat, and this prospective consolation will provent thon from making any oxtraordinary efforts to ac- cure a victory. ‘Tho influence of the Judicial deciston at- fecting. tha amendments will bo still moro damaging to the Demoerney fn Indiana, ‘The political object of this decision was twofotd ~viz.¢ (1) Lo promote Mr. Jiendrieks? enuse at Clucinnntl, and (3) to secure a Demoerntic offset In October for the expected Republican victory in Ohlo. ‘Ihe devision failed to se cure tho first object, and it may fall to sccuro the second, A review of the ease shows that the Ucelulon was a direct violation of tho precedenta itt Indiana and.othor States, ‘I'he amendments received a large majority of all tho Votes cnst thereon, The fuct tat local township elections were held on tho samo day had no bearing upon the question of their adoption, since tho day for voting ‘on the amondments might havo heen lawfully fixed in tho preceding week or month, or at any other the in tho diveretion ofthe Legislature, Ienee tho yoto on the amendments was in all respeets 0 special election, Ind {t occurred the day be- fore or tho duy after the towhshtp elections, tho Court would not have had any opportu. nity for raising a question of comparison be- teen the two aggregates of the two separate and {ndependent elections, As it was, no provision hud been made for an offichtl ag- grogation of the township returns, and tho Court set aside tho amendments, whileh lind J received large mujorifies of all the votes cast on theso questions, simply beenuse It did not know whether these majoritivs were also a majority of all the votes that had been east for township offteers, It amounted to a negation of the popular will for partisan purposes mid upon a mers quibble. ‘Tho popular indignation at the Suprema Court’s dvelsion will be increased by the fact that the peoplo of Indiana will be put to large expense on account of ft, ‘The October elec- tlon will cost the people. from $100,000 to $150,000, which would 70 beon saved to them under the amondmentthoy had adopted transferring the State election to the sme day In November on which the Natloual clec- tion ecettrs. Another of the amendinents svt. aside by tho Supreme Court provided fora imlatton of indebtedness and of the fees paid to county ofticers. By those changes the people would have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, but It will ; now be'several years before tho saving ean bo accomplished, owlng to the fact that tho amendments can-only be subniitted after passing two successive Legisintures, There muy bea movement for a rehearing before the Court, and the {net that two of the Judges are represented ns favorable to such 1 propo- sition Indicates that public sentiment Jas al- ready asserted its disapproval of the partisan scheme. But the Court has adjourned till September, and it is unlikely that any now decision ean be reached in time to do away with the October election, From theso statements {¢ appears that tha Demverats have more obstacles to contend against in Indlata this-year than thoy hud. four years ago. ‘Tho Republicans, on the Other haud, have nover bee so hopeful since Morton's death. ‘Lhoyare enthustastic about Porter, thelr nominee fer Governor, as well as about Garfield; and proper effort, in bringing out all the Republican votes and in suppressing the imported and ‘fraudulent votes on the Democratic’ side, may result fn an October victory in Indians, A COMMON-BENSE VIEW. Atter wandering about, ‘almicsly in a polit- Teal wilderness for about:-twenty yonrs, the Demoerncy at Clucinnati-in the nomination of Hancock emerged upon “elearing” Ir- radiated by a ray of sunlight, and commenced toshout, ‘They are still shouting Instead of devoting thelr prectous tline to an explora- tion of ‘the “clearing”: When they take time to look nbout they will discover Uat the “clearing” Is snail, thatit shows no signs of a human habitation, and that it Is sur- rounded on every sido by a dense and ‘Thoy-will then renlize that they are not out of the woods yet. ‘There is something in Democratic party history which would be funny if it wero not so ridiculous as to verge on the grotesque. For twenty years tha Bourbott: Democracy hava antagonized, bitterly, every position assumed. vy the Repubilean party. | But step by step, ag ono position after another hasbeen gained by the Nopublicans, the Democrats have fol- lowed, Indorsing the Inst posttion and furlously dendunchy: the. next succeeding one, For twelvo years the Democracy have been denouncing wltitatrtam In tho Govern ment, In 1808 they noulapted 8 civilian for President, saying: ‘The ;War fs over; we Want no more Uenerals In’ command, In 18723 they wanted to shuke ands across thy bloody chasm, and nominated a Republican inan of pence, * In 1870 they nominated a man to whose nostrils tho-very smell of gun- powder was unoffense, In 1870 the Repub- licans put aside the hero of Appomattox and nominated a eltlzen-soldier; and in 1880 they have emphasized the act of 1876 in repudia- tion of mitiatrlam iu the Government, But for onca the Democrats, who as a rule learn nothing and forget nothing, have forgotton thelr opposition to tho elgvation of purely military men to high clvil position: The tame of Iancock ndrottly placed before tho Convention ‘at the Instance of the Southern Brigadlers belng received! with enthusiasm, tho delegntes went off at half-cock and noml- nated him without reflecting upon the ab- surdity of thoact. They Ud not reflect that the nomination of Mancock merely placed the Democratle party In possesston of a posl- tlon Intely dismantled and abandoned by the Republican party. ‘hey did not reflect that the support of Han- cock by tho Southern Lrigadiors was conclusive evidence of disloyalty instead of Joyalty to the Nation. But that 1a the fnet. ‘Tha South domanded Hancock not becauso hg fought for the Unlon, but because, In the Departinont of Loulstuna ag tho successor of Sheridan, ho helped Johnson to carry out his nullification scheuiu seeking to erush the reconstruction measures of Congress. The two afgnificant acts of the Convention were (1) the dofeat of Tilden, and (3) the nomina- ton of Hnncocl, Both these acts were the work of the South, and both exhibit tho re- actionary spirit of the South in bold out. Mnes “When Tilien published iis famous letter against Southern clalms, the South seeretly swore tw bo reyenged on him, and tho blow was struck at Clneinnatl, When Hancock showed active sympathy with Johnson's nullification scheme the South re- solved to reward him, and tho reward took the shape of a nomination to the Presidency ut Chichinath And the Domooracy assoin- dled thereand the Democracy alloverthocoun- try, ignorant of the philosophy and the logic of the now situation, cheored lustily, They forgot everything save the fact that they had af last nominated a Unton Generalt Andon the strength of this fact they exultantly erled; “Our nomination renders a bloody- shirt campulgn impoasible!{"On this they assumed victory, and shouted as if It had been ‘slrgady achieved. Recurring to 1870, they counted the popular yota of Tilden, claimed 4 Solid South, and ‘al} the doubtful States North, and several sure Republican States, aud shouted again untll thoy wero hoarse”. -- 4 Ps Scustble men and astute pollticlans readily’ TRIBUNE: TUESDAY; JULY 6, 1880. sua that tha Demooraoy have committed A Dinnder of hugo propartions,—one of thoir olt-fashtoned binders, They oro navigat- ing thotr old craft in the wake of tho Ropub- Mean slip, and thelr spars and rigging con: alat of tho driftwood long ago cast overboard by thelr victorlous opponents, and left to float and finally rot on some distant political shore.
