The New York Herald, which is
outspoken and strictly Independent
in its course towards parties, and its
expressions about men, has this
comment upon the letter Of General
Hancock to General Sherman:
1t is q letter which displays some
thing more than common sense. Tt
testifies to the possession Of qualifi-
cations Of craftsmanship much more
satisfactorily than the letter of ac-
ceptance of the Cincinnati nomina-
tion. There is ring in some Of its
passages which sounds like an echo
of the spirit of the constitutional
era of the Republic, the era of Wash
ington and Jefferson. All of Gener-
al Hancock's published papers so far
and this especially-show that
whatever may be his deficiencies
there is no tendency to demagogue-
ism in his disposition, but that he
is sincere, patriotic and straight
forward man, and if this favorable
impression continues unabated till
November he certainly will have a
good chance Of success on election
