THE NICKEL CENr.-The San Francisco
Workingmen are raising hue and cry against
the introduction Of small coin ON this coast.
For some years past We have been fighting
hard to repell the invasion of small coin from
the other side of the Rocky mountains. There
was time when Californian would seriously
have thought of personally chastising man
who limited at tho necessity of short bits as a
circulating medium The short bit came, was
tolerated for time, and finally received into
the best society. Then the unosten tatious
Eve cent piece stepped in and was snubbed by
everybody at 6rst, but it can now go any
where along side of the nimble ten cent piece.
The Workingmen consider that the idea Of
the nickel cent taking up sojourn on the
golden slope, is not to be considered except
with feelings something akin to those expert
snced at the contemplation of yellow fever
epidemic. The coast is full of people who live
in high feather and cannot pay their debts.
Thousands ara trying to keep up two bit style
on FIVE cent income. The coast has struck
the cent basis already and might as well have
the money to match now rs at any tine.

Hancock Is a man of destiny.
Why, just look at the record. In
1868 Garfield brought, a bill into
Congress to drop the Junior major
general, That was Hancock. 1t
passed both houses Of Congress and
was signed by the President. But
before it could be carried into effect
George II. Thomas, the senior major
general, died, and Hancock was no
1ohger the junior major general, and
SO the law could not reach him.
Then the Republicans, still led by
Garfield, passed an act reducing the
major generals to three. This was
signed by the President, but before
it could be carried into effect Meade
died, and the major generals were
reduced to three by God Almighty.
Finally a law was passed authorizing
the President to drop one of the
major generals! Before it could be
carried out and Hancock be dropped
Halleck died, and Hancock becom-
ing the senior major general he
could not be dropped. The man
who survived all these attempts to
retire him cannot be retired. The
mad who led them-Gartield-will,
as fitting consummation Of his act,
fall victim 70 his intended victim.
Hancock will be elected President.
Carried will be retired-at least
from the Presidential field.

~~---S : 80 -
My whole object in supporting
General Hancock is briefly stated: 1
have always been grateful man, re-
garding the remembrance of q service
done by another to me as religion,
and l could no more go against Gem
eral Hancock as candidate for Pres
ident, as things stand now, and be
easy in my mind than could 60
against Abraham Lincoln if he were
living and running for office. There
is another reason, and that is a pro-
found yearning to settle all sectional
quarrels. l commiserate the South
from the bottom of my heart. No
man went further against them; but
now that slavery is abolished and
that the South agrees everywhere to
stand by the old flag, 1 want only to
forget the bitterness OF the past and
pray God to give me strength to
fill the little time that is left me in
life with earnest friendship for that
as we'll as all portions of our coun-
try.
