and admired them both. But the question was not
as between General Garfield and General Hancock
and if it were, the claims of General Garfield were
superior to those of his opponent. Hancock was
dutful brilliant and successful soldier, good IN his
place. Garfield was bright; experienced
the place for which he was nominated;
There were several reasons why he thought Garheo
should be elected. In the first place, there was the
broad reason that this contest should not be as be-
tween General Garfield and General Hancock. In
the second there was the reason that the Republ-
can party to-day the only party OF sound money
and finance Then was it not better that the party
which saved tie country, which reconstructed the
