The New York Times has its own opin-
ion Of Gen. Hancock, which it expresses
in the following vigorous words:
Does anybody know what Gen. Han
cock thinks about the principles OF finance,
about the tariff, civil service reform, inter
state commerce, or free ships? Does any
body care whether he be a competent
judge Of men, one fairly equipped TO give
the country pure Administration, and to
stand between it and corrupt or hasty leg
sation? Is there n man who knows Gen.
Hancock, even specifically, who can think
without a scornful smile Of the possibility
Of his becoming the President OF the United

not have dreamed, when they gave him
his name, that the child would grow to be
