HANCOCK'S sTATESHIANSHIP DIS
SECTED.
EXTRACT FROM \ SPEECH BY HON
EMERY \ STORRS, OF
CHICAGO.
GENERAL HANCOCK.

Upon this platform the Demo
cratic party has placed candidates
who are in entire sympathy and ac-
cord, so far as we have any means
of judging from their own lives with
the constitutional doctrines and
traditions" of the party. 1t would
hardly do for the Democratic party
who had steadily and bitterly OPP
posed great military leader like
General Grant, (applause) merely
because he was a military man, to
place in nomination a much inferior
military leader, simply because he
was a soldier.
Great stress is laid upon what Is
called General Hancock 5 statesman
ship, the only evidence OF which, so
far as any evidence has yet been
furnished US, being his career for a
few months at New Orleans and his
order, upon assuming the duties of
that command is paraded as an evi-
dencc of profound and wise states
manship; and we are asked to sup
port him because of that admins
tration and that order. We are call
ed upon to indOrse and approve
both, and hence, without any agen-
cy ON our part, we are compelled
once more to discuss and determine
the merits and dement's of Andrew
Johnson's policy of reconstruction,
of which General Hancock was for a
time the selected agent and repre-
sentative. This single instance in
his career illustrates his character as
a civilian, and shows him to have
been fully in sympathy with all the
reactionary and obstructive meas
ures OF the Democratic party. This
position cannot be fully compre-
hended without an understanding of
the history of the events preceding
General Hancock's appointment.
In 1866 General Sheridan was in
command of what was then known
as the Department of the Gulf.
Monroe, a defiant rebel, was Mayor
of New Orleans, and the most bitter
opposition had been exhibited
against the Congressional plan Of re-
Cancellation, AN opposition encour-
aged and stimulated by the sympa-
thy of Andrew Johnson, then Presi-
dent of the United States.

THE NEW ORLEANS BUTCHERY.

In July, 1860, a convention OF
loyal Union men was held at New
Orleans, which was attacked by an
armed mob, aided by the police
force and the then city and State
government. Dostie, Field and
Hawkins, leading Union men were
killed. Sheridan reported that the
bearer of white flag from the con-
ivention was killed in cold blood 10y
a policeman, and he adds: "The
wounded were stabbed while lying
on the ground and their heads beat
en- with brick-bats." About 200 10y
al men were thus brutallv killed and
wounded. This brutal and murder
Gus policy met the substantial en-
dorsement of Andrew Johnson, and
an approval of it was deemed neces-
sarv to sustain and carry out his
policy. He smothered and sup
pressed General Sheridan's reports
of these atrocities, and called for
the arrest and trial of those members
of that convention who were not
killed. Many of them wereindicted,
and not a single man guilty Of these
inhuman murders was ever arrested
or brought to trial or punishment.
+ The President attempted to whee-
die Sheridan into a position where
( he might seem to place the loyal
members of that convention in the
wrong, but having no mere soldier,
with a plastic and flexible political
conscience to deal with, he failed
either to coax, bully or bribe tn
hero of the Five Forks into any such
position, but received from Sheridan
in response to a series Of questions,
which assumed that the outrages
had been melted by the members OF
that convention, a telegraphic reply
in which General Sheridan said:
The real cause of the massacre was
the bitter, antagonistic feeling which
has been growing in the community
since the advent of the present May
or. who, in the organization of the
police force, selected many dangerous
men, and some of them known muir
derers.n
With this condition of affairs
Johnson refused TO interfere. His
sympathies and the sympathies OF
his friends were with the Mayor and
his murderous police force No re-
lief could be had save by Congress
sional action, and accordingly, in
April, 1867, Congress passed the re-
construction act and the supplement
tai act.
The preamble in the former de-
clares:
"Whereas, No legal State govern
ments OF adequate protection for life
or property now exist in the rebel
States of Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi
Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas,
and Arkansas; and, whereas, it is
necessary that peace and good order
should be enforced in said States un-
til loyal and Republican State gov
ernments can be legally established
therefore, be it enacted, etc.
