More Old Letters from, Hancock.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Col. Blanton Duncan
furnishes the Herald two letters from Gen,
Hancock which he says were never before
shown anybody or published. The first letter
is dated October 20, 1879. and is as follows:
NV Dear Colonel:-I received to-day your
favor of the 25th, and was much interested in
your resume of the working of the political
cauldron. have always been of opinion and am
am 30 still that the Democrats party has dis
posed of the question as to whether they would
nominate Tilden, as sequence of past events,
it was folly inside that organization to ad-
vance other candidates, if their availability for
the future was question of Importance or
interest I have no part in any programme
looking to the future. My name comes up,
through friends, and foes possibly.
know of no machinery in the interest of my
nomination. I seem in public opinion to be
put forth as an exponent of certain political
available possibilities, and I would be letter
pleased if permitted to pursue the even tenor
of my way untouched by political excitement.
1 do not wish to be considered chronic candi-
date, for I know what that means when the end
comes, so my friends had better let matters
rest or, if not, let 1t drift. The next election
is to be momentous one. What may come
out of it, good or bad, do not know, but am

HASTINGS, Mimi, Oct. 6.-The Hastings
Minnesota Industrial associations exhibition
opened to-day with all departments full, and
one of the largest and best displays held
by any county in this State this year. The
grounds and buildings are complete, and on a
scale that is hard to be equaled by any associa-
tion.
TIE horse department is large, there being
some one hundred entries, consisting of all the
different strains and breeds. The studs of
Follett, johnson, Deakin and others are
represented but it would be impossible
to give you even general idea. In the cattle
department we find the herds of @. l. Haine's,
Stephen Gardner, Col. Melery, G. LeVescante
and others, comprising short horns, Jerseys,
Herefords. OF swine the exhibit is principally
Berkshire. Sheep are not all in yet, but what
there are are good. Floral hall is complete,
and not half large enough to hold what is en-
tered, although the building erected for that
purpose is a mammoth one. In vegetables old
Dakota goes to the front. In short, the direc-
tors and the citizens of Hastings are to be con-
graduated on their grand success.
The first race this afternoon was the free
for-all, for county horses. G. T. Lange entered

Minnesota railroad was stated from Green
Bay westward by the citizens of Green Bay
with the view of tapping the western wheat
fields for the benefit of the mills at the eastern
terminus of the line, and for the main pur-
pose of building up Green Bay. Up to two
years ago the road struggled along under the
management of its directors. but at that time
was put into the hands of Receiver Case, of
Green Bay. It's gross earnings last year were
$34S, $50; operating expenses S204,557 The
effort to make" Green Bay by the help of this
road has not been startling success, and the
Farmers Loan and Trust company, Of New
York, has gotten tired of advancing money to
the road. Hence the sale.

October %, 1879.-Col. Blanton Duncan.
My dear sir: For some time past - and
myself have been talking over plan to elect
Gen. Hancock President of the United States.
Our plan is that you write to Gen. Hancock,
and if he responds with right views on the
financial and labor questions that we then de-
eide to call the National convention first,
nominate Hancock for President and some ex-
confederate for Vice-President, and it will
force the Democrats to meet aud nominate the
Same ticket. Your plan of calling both the
Democratic and national conventions the same
day will not work and will give large amount
of our party an excuse to say it was political
trade, while my plan is one that large ma
jority of our party will endorse. hope ycu
will agree on the plan and have conference
with General Hancock on the subject.
That letter, continues Col. Duncan, was for
warded by me with recommendation to Gen.
Hancock not to make any reply to it. He,
however, wrote me as follows:

Jaines III. Couch. Jr.


Sometime ago we noticed thestate-
ment that this gentleman had con-
nected himself with the Greenback-
ers, and said we should not "believe
it until we heard it from his own
lips" An interview with him, and
further investigation into the mat
ter, discloses the fact that whilst
.ostensibly he has been a Democrat,
he was in reality aGreenbacker, and
was a member Of a greenback league
in this place. Thus has he been
fooling us, and Gripping the Demo.
cratic organization, in order to build
up the Greenback party, and now he
has his reward, by being spoken of
in connection with the Greenback
nomination for Judge ofthis Circuit.
We say good bye, Mr.. Couch, the par
ty is better off without you than with
you, because we know now where to
find you. For Gods sake stay where
you are, we don't want you back in
to the good old Democratic fold, for
We have no use whatever for you
Heretcfore this paper, as we'll as Ats
editor, has been your political friend,
but now as you have deserted us in
our hour of peril, we proclaim our
self your political enemy. 1t is a
surprise to us that men of intelli-
gence will go off after false Gods, and
connect themselves with a party that
has no national reputation and no
strength in this State outside of this
District, and even here it is on the
decline. To say the best of this par
ty, so far as our Congressional Dist.
riot is concerned, it was conceived
in the brain of Henry S. Walker,
(when he found he had no standing
in the Democratic party, and is be-
ing used by him to carry him into
Congress ifpossible; and failing once,
he is now trying the same thing
again, with defeat, we are glad to
say, staring him in the face; and this
is the party Mr.. Couch has connect
ed himself with.

Let us Make an Exchange With
Russia.

They have strong Government
in RUSSIA very strong Govern
ment.
There are many people in Russia
who do not like strong Govern
ment. 1t is evidently much too
strong to suit their tastes. Hence
the frequent attempts to assassinate
the Car and to destroy the royal
family.
Now, we have few people in this
country who desire a strong Govern
ment. They declare their dissatis-
faction with the uncertainties" of
frequent, popular elections, and their
preference for a stronger Govern
ment than we have ever had.
Something more like the Russian
Government would suit them. Gen.
Grant stands at the head of the party
of malcontents and is their candidate
for President.
dEow, what we would propose is an
exchange Of all these monarchists Of
America for the liberty loving sub.
jects of the Gar. Let Grant and his
third termers and imperialists take
up their abode amid the congenial
society of ST. Petersburg, while we
find room in the United States for an
equal number of Russian Republi,
-cans.-N Y. Sun.
