power to secure his nomination. Had Hancock been
nominated there never would have been anything OF

majority would have been overwhelming TO have
precuded any such frauds charged by both part
les in this unfortunate contest. not In politics
now, but cannot fOrbe,u regret that Hancock missed
the nomination. T!lden the wrong man, aud
