And now comes the rumor from Indtan- apolis that Mr. Franklin Landors Is to bo withdrawn from the Democratic ticket which ho heads in Indiana, ‘The roport is probably not correct. It 18 nlmost too Inte for the Democrats In Indiana to “swap horses.” But we have no doubt in this case the wish fs fathor to tha thought, snd it is not unilkely that both Landers and: the Domocratic managers would be glad if some other inan were making the fight. The ren, sons for such a conclusion are plain, There have been signs of disapproval among tha hard-money Democrats of the State ever shuce Landers was nominated. In the south- ern portion of tho State thts disapproval hns taken tha shapo of opon antagonism, Atten- {ion has already been directed to the fact thnt the New Albany LedgerStandard, one of the most influentit! Democratic pnpers In Indiana, refuses to recognize Landers in any manner, All the intelligent members of tho party havo felt that there was mantfest Incongrulty In runniug Landers for Governor when the National platform of tho Dewoernts declared bluntly In fayor of hard money. But it was hoped until’ recently that some compensation for this obvious weakness would be found in tha Greenback yote, which It was thought Landers would attract. But the rejection of De La-Matyr as Congressional candidate in tho Indlauapolls district Seems to have dissipated that hope. Tho Greenbackers In Indjnna are bound to resent the repudiation of De La Matyr, who {a the chief representative of thelr cause in thot State. Its now protty certain that the Greenbackers will make a scparatecumpaign, run Congressional candidates of thelrown.du severnl districts, and poll as many votes ns they can, with the speclal and avowed pur poso of defenting the Democrats. 'This is only one of many complications which embarrass the Demverats bi Indiana, and which makes that Statoextremely doubt- ful Jn October, ‘The candidacy of English for Vice-Presl- dont fs even more obnoxious tothe Demo- erats of Indiana than Js that of Landers for Governor. As the case stands now, Landers wlll lose the votes of a large nunbor of straight-out, hard-money Democrats, and re- celyo none of tha votes of the Demoeratic- Greenbackers who have accustomed them- selves to forego the pleasure of yoting tho Democratle ticket. English Is especinily ob- Jectlonnable to tho latter elass of Democrats becnuse he has nslways been a hard- money man, has Tldieuled and de nounced Greenbackery in ntl forms, has bean President of o National bank, tid has been identifed with the very class against whom tho Greonbackera have boon making war, Aside from this, English {3 porsonally disliked by his own party to an extent that would make n candidate from some other State considerably stronger than hols, The dislike of Engligh asa hard old skinillnt seems to bo unlversal among those who know him, and there is reason to bellove that there aro hundreds of Domoernts In.In- dinna who will refuse to vote for the Doemo- cratic Klectoral tieket rather. than help to’ 4 place English {nn postion” whera he might some day become President; and tie pollt- feal condition of Indiana is such thata loss of afew hundred votes may mean tho foas of the State to the Democrats, . It is certain, too, that tho pnrtlaan action of the Supreme Court In selting aside the con- stitutions! amendments which had been nilopted by the people will react agninat the Democrats, ‘The publication of the opinions of Judgea Niblack and Scott, both Demo- erats, In which they dlssent from tho partl- san rullng .of tho mbjorlty of the Court, WII increase the popular Jndignation ab this judicial defiance of the popular will ‘Tho oplufons of those two Juilges show conc}u- slyely that not merely did tho amenduents recelye a clear and Inrgo majority of the popular yote, but that thelr adoption con- formed with all‘the constitutional require- ments of the case, Judge Nidlack traces a convincing parallel between the amendments of 1879, which the Court has sct aside, and the nmondment of 1873, which was adopted in the sino manner nud Ig now a part of the Constitution. Ha shows ‘that there was no constitutional need for providing that the votes enst at the townslilp elections on tho same day shall bo aggregated, aud that, In the absenco of auch provision, a majority of nll the electors voting on the amendinents constituted a yall adoption, Ills couclu- ston Ist Tho uct’ of March 10, 18%), affunted every elector of tho Stato an ‘opportunity of voting sepanitely for or agulust ued one “ef the pros posed unondments. The retina show That Npon the purdeuhir amendment in euitravorsy there wus wu agyresite of Livi votus cust, OF -to that: vate. 'TURDAY, JULY 1880—TWELVE PAGES, that number there was a majority—17,28 votes In favor of i ratifiertion.

Ous of tho strongest arguments in favor. of yalld ratttl- cation of the amendments may bo found in, the followlng statement of the case, extracted from Judge Scott's opinion: Tnm unatly to concur In the opinion of tho innjority of the Court in this aaec, Lam of the opinion that the Constitution itself provides the method of submltting proposed amendments to the cleotors of the Stnte for thelr ratiieation, That inethod is that the propored amendment or amendments shail ho submitted th such mane nor tut the electors shall vote for or tguinst ench of euch proposed ainendinents separately, Tam inmble to sce why the framers of tho Con- Butution made provision for voting for or ugnlnat tho proposed niuendmente if they meant and intended that no nmendinent shout hecona apart of the Constitution unices Fasined by tho | ‘yotes of all tho electors of the & on the day on whieh euch proposed amendinents should bo submitted, Such t construction and Interpre= totlon world, in my aptilon, lead to interminas ble trouble and confusion, Before the canpatgu sitll be finished in Indiana st wilt be impressed upon every enndid and fair-minded man in the State that tho negation of the popular will in the caso of these amendments was suggested by self- {sh and unworthy party ends. Men who be- Iteve this myst be blind and ynreasoning pare tisans If they can further ald such a purpose by voting for tha Democratte tickat In Octo- ber, whatever they may do in the National’ election a mouth inter, The purpose of the decision was to sectire an October clection.in Indiana in the hope that Demoeratic vic- tory there might offset tiff oxpected Repub- Hean yletory in Ohio, ‘'To'this end tlie Dein- voratic Judges sacrificed the sentiment of tha people about the amendments, and consented to prolong some of the mont fagrant abuses, In the State, which cost the people many jiundred: thousands of dollars cyery year. Justice requires that the alm of so selfish and perverse a decision should miscarry, and the presdnt prospect is that such will be tho re- sult, THE OO3T OF THE WAR. Tum Tue a few days ago published o statement made by Mr, Wiblack, 0 Demo- cratic member of Congress from Indinna, daring a debate In 1870, In which he charged that the yast expenditures of the War, and the enormous public debt, and the incrensed. cost of Government restilting from the War, wero due to tho Republicans, who refused to agreoto the demands of the South In 1860, ‘This charge was promptly met by Mr. Qar- field atthe moment of Its utterance, and his responsy cannot be too often reproduced, nor Sts truth too often tmpressed upon the country, & large portion of tho present pop- ulation having reached the age of imanhoud, of reading, and of voting since that War wos" begun and carrled on.

Conventlon Danfel Dougherty openct his speech with this ex- ordiim: “I proposo te present to tho thougtful considerntion of the Convention the nome of one who on the ficld of battle was styled ‘tho superb,’ And this fs the title the Demoeraey have chosen for thelr candidate; nor is it Inapproprinte, ag will Appear fiom a consideration of the various sleuiiications of the word. Sunorb ts derived from the Latin superbus, proud, Following are tho definitions given by Webster: 1, Grund; magnificent; 08, 0 superb edifies; a sitper volonnade, &. Rich; elegunt: as, auperd furniture or deoo= rations. u, Showy: pompous; ne, asiperd exhibition, 4, Rich? splondid: us, a superb entertainment, G Ausust; stately. At will be observed that theso definitions are nlt.of a purely physieal character. The word superb lins no relation to moral or men- tal qualities, In deseribing Gen, Hancock as “superb,” then, Mr. Dougherty Intended to refer to his person, his length, his breadth, his port, his mten, sls physienl ctiarncteris- fics. And, In conferring upon him. the title superb, the Democracy intend to sny: Our enndidnte tsa very large man physically; hols avery tallinan; heléayery stoutanan; he hes avery deep chest, a very capactons paunch, a very thick necks, Immense legs and arms, 0 brond back and broad shouldors,—Iin 9 word, as the Indians would sny, he is the big Chief; he,}s entitled to rule because of his huge pro- portions. Following the derivation of the word “superb,” the Democracy say: ‘Our candl- date isa proud man.” Proud of what? Ob- viously of his dcep chest, his capacious paunch, his thick neck, ard his lmmenge legs and arms, Our candidate, say his admire ing supportersyisas grand as the Capitol bulla- Ing at Washington; his huge legs are like ita marble cohunns, his panych 4s lile Repre- sentative Hall, his chest Mke the Senate Chamber, and his head likethe dome. Or, our candidate fs as mngniflcent a3 the monu- iment on Bunker Hill, Or, our candidate is “leh, elegant”; hois ns superb ns cue Blass chandetler, 1 first-class bedsiead, a highly-wrought and cunntngly-carved side- board, an oxquisitly-designed upright piano, au extravagantly-upholstered sofa, a luxurl- ons armchair. Or, our candidate 1s more “showy” than the Orlental department of the World's Fair, more “poutpous” than the grand master of a Queen's drawing-room ata Court ball. Or, our candidate ismore “rich,” more “splendid,” than an Emperor’s dinner of twenty courses, served in n palace of imarble, on plates of silver and gold. One of the definitions of, the word superb is “angust”s and the definitlon of this word is: “Grands. imagnificents majestic; «1m- pressing awe; Insplring reverence; ns, august in visage? The use of this word ag employed by the Democracy to’ describe Hancock Is of great antiquity, It was first conferred by the Roman Senate. nsaide of honor upon Octavius, after confirming him in the sovereign power, Why.should not Tancock impress the country with “awa” and Inspire the Democracy with “reverence” since he Is huge In person, august in visnge, aud glvon -tho title of honor conferred first upon 8 TomanEmperor? But Hancock fs “stately; that Is tosay: “Lofty; dignified; mnjestle; ns, atitely manners; ‘a stately gait? . His manners are presiunably like those of a King, and his walk Ike the movement of a god. There Is. mora yet.. Stately means: “Mag nilicent; grand; a9, 0 stately edifices & state ly ome; 0 stately. pyramid.” “No mat- tor how deeply. we dive — futo tho mystery of definitions of the word superb, we coma always to the. same -conclislon— namely: that, being suporb, Hancock neces> surfly resembles Kings and Emperors, and vaatnrehitectural structures, anit huge domes, and even the pyramids of old Egypt. z It may be said of a handsome woman: “She Is superb}?
