Hancock Ag1tEsa.


The New York Herald is very pro-
nounced in favor of Mr.. Conkling, who
seems to have the nomination of his
party opened to him. AMI for this rea
son when we find our metropolitan
contemporary deprecating the nominal
ton Of a .'soldier," we look upon its
declaration with keen scrutiny. Here
is what il Says:
"Gencrai Hancock Is Que of the few
soldiers TO whose duty it fell on Ger
tain conspicuous occasions to draw thu
line between the OBJ igations of his pO-
sition as a soldier aud his obligations
as citizen-to the law, and he drew it
always with such just discretion, he
tempered the case SO happily without
delinquency on either side, as to earn
Cor himself an immortal and peculiar
honor. And yet we do not believe
that the people wish to make him
President. George Washington was
the only soldier President we ever
had who was success, and his
success was not i'll any sense
due to the attributes that made
him commander. All the men
who have been made Presidents since
because they were soldiers a1e land
marks of calamity i'll our history, and
the last experiment is so disastrous i'll
this particular that the country can
not forget 1t or recover courage to try
another soldier III a very great while.
1t is not to be said that General Han
cock might be or would be n repeti-
tion of our bad fortune. but only that
the distaste for military Presidents
that Grant has given puts aside the
claims of ali soldiers, however good. ="
Translated into plain English this
means that the Herald forsees the re-
vival of sectional animosities, and in
the interests of Mr.. ConkliDg is trying
to kill OFF Hancock with cheap rhetoric
against soldiers. Let us be instructed
by this, anu let us remember at st.
Louis that when the sections EAST
and Vest are at war over men and
currency, that then the South can
plant a centennial olive branch by
bringing forward W. S. Hancock, the
American, the National man, against.
whom no one can make charge with
out the certainty of defeat.

From the Columbia, S. G., Unisn Sentinel
Democratic Policy.

The democrats are willing to let the
negro vote and to have his rights as long
as they do not practically amount to any
thing. But whenever they avail against
anything, they insist that they must be
prevented. This Is the democratic policy,
and on this basis the white people OF the
south propose to pacify the south. If the
negroes, they say, will only not vote. or II
they will not vote so as to carry the elec-
ton, or if they will not vote against the
white people, they will let them alone and
guarantee to them their rights. But II
they create disturbance by voting for The
blacks, or with the "carpet-baggers, or
with southern "scalawags," they must
punish them for their presumption. The
promise of peace, then, TO the south. IN
the event OF democratic success, is to
the effect that if the negroes keep so far
in the minority that they shall never elect
their candidates. or hold any office. or be
of any other weight in politics. they will
protect them, and that otherwise they will
not Virginia and Kentucky are examples
of democratic conduct where the negro Is
not feared in politics. South Carolina and
Louisiana are examples of democratic
conduct where he is feared. In the first
case it is peace, because the democrats
have it all their own way. In the latter
case it is anarchy, because they have not.
The result of it all is that the democrats
mean to rule; to rule by the ballot if they
can, but by intimidation if they must
The lesson which seems SO hard for the
southern democratic masses to learn is to
let the negroes have the same political
rights as themselves, and to let them ex
ercise them just as they please. About
their only concession of rights thus far
has been on the supposition Gf not with
the proviso) that they will not use them.
They will let them vote, provided they
won't vote; they will let them be candi-
dates for office, provided they won't be
candidates they will let them ride in the
street cars and steamboats,, provided they
won't ride in them, or won't ride in large
numbers; they will let them enter our ho-
tells and theatres, provided they won't en-
ter them; and, in short, they will give
almost any privilege, provided they won't
take advantage of 1t. They will allow the
negro equality. but they want him to OBJ
serve his inferior condition. They will
not interfere with his exercise of rights so
long as he exercises them in the way that
they dictate. In short. the democrats
seem to think that they must still rule the
negro, and that in giving him rights they
are only giving rights which they them
selves must direct. As soon as he as
sumes to take his rights in his own hands,
and to do as he pleases, they oppose him
by violence or some other form of injus-
tice. In democratic eyes the negro dare
never exercise his full rights, and if they
can't prevent such exercise legally they
will do it illegally.
