30 indiscreet as to present his name be-
tore the Convention, even only for

The name OF Gen. Hancock having
been mentioned in some quarters as
being likely to be presented before the
Convention in opposition to Mr.. Gree.

trusted friend OF Chief Justice Chase.
He follows the example OF his chief,
and refrains from proffering any advice
to the intelligent representatives OF the
National Democracy, seeming to be per.
fectly content to await the logic OF
events. ...
THEODORE TILToN,

the New York Independent, and now

opposed the same policy when advo.

to all those who will subscribe for the

want the portrait than the paper.

State, and it was said that he would
