The Politics Of the Fighting Generals,
The 4rgus j. Patriot editoriaIly an
nounces Gen. Sherman, the hero OF
Atlanta" and "fghting Joe Hooker"
as supporters Of Mcclellan. General
Sherman cannot have been in favor
OF the election Of the nominee Of che
Chicago Convention until very lately,
for il he had been three weeks ago he
would not have been SO indiscreet as
to take Atlanta in utter disregard Of
the expressed wish OF that Conyen-
ton tor the immediate suspension of
hostililies. Gen. Sherman, as a pro-
iesslonal soldier, proud Of his ability
and record, is not likely to support the
nominee OF a Convention whose plat
form declares that all his efforts and
those Of his comrades in arms for the
past three years, have been fruiiless.
Gen. Hooker certainly did not have
any remarkable feeling Of admiration
for his old commander when he testi-
fled before the Committee on the con-
duct OF the War. If he then thought
that the failure of the Peninsula cam
paign was for no other reason than
the "incompetency Of the Command
ing General he is not likely to con-
slider the former commander Of the
Army of the Potomac proper per-
son to govern the patton in times Ike
these. The platform Of the Chicago
Convention whose nomination Nc
Clellan accepts, declares in favor Of
an immediate cessation Of hostilities"
with view to peace. In a recent
speech Gen. Hooker said "My way |
is TO whip the rebels first and treat
with them afterwards We think we |
see a slight difference.
