What III your opinion, Judge, Will
be the, effect upon the in'iustries-the
agricultural, railroad and mauu:actur-
ilig intcr.y;s generally, should the
Democracy, under Gen. [IancocS's
leadership, assume the political CON
troll of the country|
Il think Hancock'S Administration
will give a new impetus 20 not only
the agricultural but tie mechanical
and commercial interests Of the whole
country. l. will restore confidence by
healing the sectional feelings Of the
North and South, and viii largely de
velop in the Northern section of this
Continent a confidence in the integrity
of the General Government. 1t will
inaugurate new era IN this, that for
the first tiUe since the war the people
everywhere will appreciate the fact
that the Government has been united,
that the interests North, as well as
South, have been blended into one
grand clement Of National harmony
which will result in Il still greater
amount Of National prosperity"
"What do you think Will be the ac-
ton OF the majority OF those who sup
ported Grant for the nomination since
Gen Hancock has been nominated
My judgment is that the fight OF
the Republican party in the present
campaign is one of life or death to thC
organization, and no stone viii be left
unturnel to harmonic the friends OF
Gen. Grant i'll support of Garfield foi
the Presidency, and l do not doubt
but that Il majority Of those who were
warmly for Grant Will yield to- the
appeal but there are many Grant
men-and some of them might be DIES
designated among the soldier element
that fought for the Union-who, feel
ing in their hearts that Grant haC
been cheated out of the nomination a
Chicago-that he had been meanly
treated in the ''house Of his friends
that while some would be active sup
portcrs of Hancock, others would b;
indifferent, and plenty rejoice at the
defeat Of Garfield: and this element
| would not be inconsiderablc at It's emu
meratiQn among the popular voters il
| the Northern States. The action o
the Chicago convention was stupid ii
IFS hostility To Grant, as we'll as mean
and they will live to regret their action
when regret will he embittered by tn
consciousness that ii is unavailing t,
repent of their blunder.
"Weli, Judge, l suppose you ar
prepared to spell up from the rank
and pay a penalty for following tn
false god of Grantisln, for you know i
is said that the Democrats, Will
welcoming all recruits, may put yOl
on probation"
''As for myself have never bee
accustomed to stand at the foot of an
class. | want no office Besides, yo
do the Democratic party Injustice i
surprising that it places its friends up
on probation. It's principles are to
pure-its liberality too great--its syn
pathies and friendships too warm-t
make any classification of any of thos
who earnestly espouse and sincerel
support its cause"
Then, Judge, you think HancOc
will win ?"
