1t would be Just about as wise for
Republicans to support Hancock at
this time as it would have been for
them to have voted for Mcclellan in
1864. Mcclellan received the cleo
toral vote of New Jersey, Kentucky
and Delaware. He would perhaps
have received the solid vote of every
rebel in arms had not the Union SOL
diers prevented them from getting
to the polls. The. same obstacle con-
fronts Hancock in. different way.
Lees veterans will support him be-
cause they have every reason to be-
lieve that he will be their subservient
tool if elected, while the "Boys in
Blue" will work as earnestly and
Loyalty for his defeat as they did for
the suppression of the rebellion.

A rather good story is told at the
expense of our Congressman Pochler.
It is related that a Democrat who
has congressional aspirations, and
who does not believe Poehler is honest
when he says he will not be candi-
date, approached one of his friends
the other day, and inquired if he
would accept the nomination. Poeh-
ler's friend answered that he did not
suppose he would, sunless he was
overwhelmed by the Democrats Of
the district" To which the other
man replied, "Well, it seems to me
he is id anxious to- be over
whclmed."

In the death of Bishop Gilbert Haven
the Methodist church has lost one of it,
mos talented members, and the colored
people Of the South one Of their best
friends. He was one of the men OF the
times, who not only formulated opin'
ions, but had the courage to stand
by his convictions, no matter in what
part of the country his lot was cast.
An enthusiastic believer in the Dscla-
ration of Independence as taught by
Jefferson, and an ardent lover cf his
country's flag, he was the first commits.
stoned chaplain in the Union volunteer
service, his commission in the Eighth
Massachusetts, regiment having been
signed four days after the surrender of
Fort Sumter, by the war Governor,
John A. Andrew. Bishop Haven served
faithfully with his regiment for more
than year, accompanying it in its
marches and campaigns, and sharing
the fatigues of his fellow members.
Frustrated by severe affection of the
brain, he was compelled to 60 abroad
and recuperate. He travelled il Eng
land and through the Holy Land. Bsh-
op Haven was what is sometimes flip
PANTY called political preacher, if
defending the flag Of his country and
the rights of the down.tr oddsn can be
called politics. Finding hostile feel
ing in England to the North during the
war, he counteracted much of it by
strong leading articles written to the
"Watchman," the great Methodist Or
gan of England. When he returnedsto
this country he was elected editor of
Zion's Herald" in which capacity he
devoted much of his time TO the study
and discussion Of questions arising out
Of the results of the war. He was an
ardent opponent and vigorous hater Of
every form Of caste. To the negroes of
the South he was a warm and constant
friend, and in the days Of the recon-
struction period and afterward the per-
secuted freedmen always found an en-
thusiastic friend and defender in Gill
bert Haven. He was not vindictive
by nature, but he loathed and abhorred
the barbarities by which the White
League and Ku-klux sought to re-en-
slave the newly enfranchised race. His
moral nature revolted at the tyranny
and torture inflicted upon his black
brother, and in season and out Of sea-
son his voice was raised in denuncia-
ton of the wrong. His ready wit, cour-
age and remarkable enthusiasm made
him dreaded antagonist, and among
the most domineering and violent South
ern whites he was respected. To this
day it is said that many poor negro
teacher or circuit rider in the Gulf
States owes his safety of life and limb
to the influence Of Bishop Gilbert Ha-
ven.
