THE SMALL CONCLUSION.
A colonel in the United States army,
who has been n Republican, wrote a
letter TO Gen. Hancock of date July 3,
1880, from which this extract is made:
Il would recall to you scene of the
war. At Warrenton. in 1862, the brig
adc commanders and some of the regi-
mental commanders called upon you to
make known to you the great dissatis-
faction of the troops at McClellan's be
ing relieved. ! was the spokesman. Af-
ter stating the situation you rose and
said;
"Gentlcman, we serve country; we
serve no man
Feeling that you are now the same
patriot you then We're, should this ma
ton be placed in your keeping for a
time no man need fear for the result"
IN EARNEST.
Walter +. Halleck, major in the ar
my stationed on the Pacific coast writes:
''From my knowledge of General Han
cock think of him as the poet describes
the true man and soldier
The bravest and the tenderest,
The loving and the daring
II propose to work on this coast and
wherever | can be most useful in the
campaign for the success of Hancock
and English General Hancock will be
elected, take his seat, and be the Presi-
dent of the whole United States-not n
section of it. He will receive a large
majority of the votes of all true soldiers
those who have sense enough to real
ize that the war is over and desire to
bring about that friendly feeling between
the sections so necessary in order to
have united country in fact as well as
in name. Hancock clubs are organizing
rapidly all over this coast and / certainly
believe the Pacific states will all be car
ried by him. will be east before the
election and home in time to vote the
Democratic ticket this year.
ONE OF THE "oLp GUARD"
John Il. Long,the most intimate friend
of Grant in the West, and leading st.
Louis Republican. in an interview, cor
respondent has said: II shall vote for
General Hancock, and believe he will
be elected. l think he has the qualiii-
cations to make good President. He
will have the good sense to surround
himself with the right kind of advisers.
One principal reason why | am against
Garfield is that he has already shown his
intention to be associated with at least
two men for whom the Republican par
ty has the least possible use-Schurz and
Sherman. Almost the first thing Gar
field did after his nomination was to
take long carriageride with Schurz, a
man devoid of all political principle
The real cause of Schurz's hostility to
Grant is this: When Schurz was sena-
tor he asked Grant for lO5 appointments
in twelve months, from foreign missions
down. lie got eigty-three, but made
himself the enemy of Grant because he
didn't get everything he asked for.
have never heard Grant discuss Hancock
save as general, and IN that respect he
always spoke well of him. ! am Re
publican still. | have been in CORES
pondence with many political and per
sonal friends respecting the political sit
uation, and shall vote for Hancock.

believe now the Southern Democrats ar
heartily sick of sectional strife an
mean in good faith to yield hearty obt

the election of Hancock by the coop,

will be conclusive proof that the Sout
is now as loyal as the North. / don
believe any man could be found SO stl

am sure that the Union in his hand
