candidate must combine to make success
probable. These conditions are

the Presidency shall I've onewhose complete
loyalty during the Civil War cannot he qucs-
toned. This is almost impossible without

by fighting on the right side.
II. That he shall be one who is not EN-
barrassed by an extreme record on either side
of the currency, tariff, or railroad questions,
which have been the subject of recent legis-
lation, and upon which opinions are sharply
divided.
Ill. That his personal integrity shall be

SENATOR RANDOLPH, whose fine record as
Governor and Legislator is so well known,
is among the possibilities for the Democratic
nomination. The New Jersey delegation are
not going to make Governor Randolph
ridiculous by following the example the
Window men set at Chicago, but they will
divide up their votes according to personal
preferences among other candidates until a
time comes, if it does come, when it seems
propitious to offer fresh candidate, when
they will give a solid vote for Randolph.

the sort of warfare the Democracy will have

nate General Hancock:

good man ut Cincinnati Democratic definitions OF

These records contain evidence going to show the ne
ccsslly Of Mr. scymour's retirement at Cincinnati

certain prominent politician of New York, great
friend of lIorailo seymour sent secret communica-

THE retirement of the Adjutant Genera
and Paymaster General has been received
with satisfaction in the Army, not because
these officers were unpopular or had lost
their usefulness, but because it is felt that
in time of peace retirements should take
place with regularity whenever officers reach
a proper age, in order to afford an outlet for
promotion What is still more gratifying
has been the promotion of the senior officers,
Colonels Drum and Brown, which leaves no
room for the heartburnings and complaints,
generally well founded, that are sure to fol-
low the promotion of Juniors over their SEN
iors in rank. Officers who are left by a
vacancy the seniors in their corps are en-
titled, if competent, to the promotion which
is the natural reward of long and faithful
service. If they are unfit to discharge the
duties of the new place they should be re-
tired and neither be compelled to serve un-
der those who We're recently their uniors
nor block the road to the promotion OF those
who are really deserving. II is to be hoped
that the authorities will perseyere in the
good course upon which they have entered
and that the retired list will be kept full by
the retirement of superannuated generals and
colonels of the line as well as of the stan.

ANDREW JOHNSON on HANCOCK.

who made notes of many interesting conver-
sations with him, finds amongst his memo
randa the following;

the line of thought Iancock's order upon
Stunning command of the Fifh Military District, and
