NEW YORK, Sept. 10Th. THE
World in endeavoripg to swell The
Hancock boom in the South, says
"a Hen, President of the Soldiers
Union of Alabama, is out in long
letter advocating Hancock for the
Presidency.n Leading articles in
the Selma Times and Montgomery
advertiser commend the atti
tude of the World and urge
Hancock. The Charleston NeaUs
and Courier says: Tilden is
the only democratic candidate
who could be placed in the
field for whom the South would
not be substantially solid. It is
just as well for his friends at the
north to look facts in the face. The
bulk of the southern Democrats
would, of course vote fer anybody
who might be placed at the head
of the national party ticket in 1880,
even Ben Butler himself, spoons
and all; but there is a Democratic
element at the south that can
ne, er again be brought to the polls
in support of Filden.
