SENATOR VANCE, OF NORTH CAROLINA, On THE
VOTE THAT HANCOCK is SURE OF.
New York World, Saturday.
Senator Zebul0n Il. Vance, OF Moth Caro-
lima. whose wedding tour has extended east
ward, was found yesterday at the New York
Hotel. He is over six feet in height, and
bis hair and moustache are slightly
silyered, and bis voice and manner are
hearty and genial. "Of course" said
he 1.-THE South's first choice was Senator
Bayaid, who so nobly stood in the Senate
aud defended us when no other voice was
raised in our behalf. But General Hancock
fills the measure also. The South felt cer'
tain that General Grant would be nomi-
mated at Chicago, and the great duty OF the
bour WAS To oppose bin with the civil
mower, which would have made BaYard the
wisest choice for us. When, however, the
Convention put mp cross between poor
general and cross-road politician, II soon
became apparent that General Hancock was
our man. 1t would not have been wise to
oppose General Grant with one OF his lieu
tenants. General Hancock Is the only
military man OF the age who thor
ougbly comprehended the relationship
between tue civil and the military
power He has shown himself most
conspicuously to be man who knows how
10 govern wisely and Justly. What a con-
temptible thing it is IN the Republican
newspapers 10 be peering about, trying TO
find something against his record There
are few men living against whom some
charge or other cannot be laid. but | am
sure hIitory supplies few instances Of men
filling high places so long AS General Han

win vote for General Hancock"
"Well, feel sure there will be a goodly
number; but, bless you, we don't need
them. There was once 4 revival down our
way, and the clergyman asked an old fel-
low, who bad got into the meeting
with th, others, 10 come forward

man, don't YOU respect John the Baptist

They won't say fatty that they are proud
