Justice to Gen. Hancock.

We copy the following paragr1pa
from the leading columns OF that
Stalwart Republican journal, the
Troy Times:
"Poor Hancock is to be pitied.
Although u weak, win, ambitious
m IN, he was ,oo good q soldier to be
slaughtered by the Democratic
party.
This is unworthy of even a Gar
field advocate after election. Gen.
Hancock is not weak or vain. He is
an able. just, upright, nobie-mnded
man; and if he hld been weak, the
battle of Gettysburg might have
ended very differently. Neither is he
ambitious in the low sense intended
by the above slllr. His ambition is
perfectly honorable, because his first
Thought is to serve his country. No
design of promoting dishonest
cronies or base-hearted parasites, no
scheme against the pubic treasury,
enters into it. Such ambition us his
is deserving of nothing but respect
and admiration.
Neither has he been slaughtered
by the plrsv which nominated hlm at
Cincinnati. He has been supported
earnestly and mantully by the Demo
cratic masses. A clear majority OF
the popular sutfrages is his. In spite
of unprecedented difficulties and OF
every Encouragement, they have
carried him so near to IN election
that the Republicans have nothing to
exult over as respects the margin OF
their success. They have won
through the Incompetence, stupidity,
meanncss, or treachery of so-cii.td
Democratic leaders here in this city.
But Gen. Hancock has every reason
to be proud of the support he has
received; and the Democracy need
not be ashamed of the gallant car
d.date whom they have barely fai'eI
to ect.-iN \. \. sun.
One Of the grlndest evidences o.

To the Democrats of the Fourth ward
of the City of Dallas.

Your executive committee, appointed at
the ward meeting July II, and instructed by
you to take immediate ateps to organize the
Democracy in our ward, have unanimously
agreed that this object can best be accom-
plished through the organization of a
Fourth Ward Democratic club" 1t is not
intended that this club shall in any manner
interfere with any other that has already
been organized; but, on the contrary, it is
intended that 1t shall heartily cooperate with
every club ia Dallas county that has for Its
object the advancement Of the interests Of
the Democratic party, whether local, state,
or national. But "what is everybody's bus
mess is nobodys business" and we
believe that the best method of securing the
sue .ess Of the party everywhere, is for the
Democrats of each voting precinct to give
their special attention to the success of the
party in their own precinct. To this end pa.
pers are now being circulated for signature:
with the following heading: "We, the under.
signed, Democrats residing in the fourth
ward of the city of Dallas, in order to more
successfully support the principles of The
Democratic party and insure the success o.
its candidates, local, state and national, dc
hereby agree to form club, to be known s'
The Fourth Ward Democratic Club of the
City OF Dallas and for the purpose
of organizing said club We agree
to meet at such time and
place as may hereafter be published BY
the chairman of the executive committee o.
said ward" 1t is hoped that every Demo
crat in the ward will enroll himself and will
also attend the meetings of the club and
zealously discharge whatever duties may bt
assigned him. Remember that il is the sue
cess, not Of club, but of the Democratic
party for which we ask you to work. A
meeting will be called in q few days for thu
purpose of organizing the club. AS soon q
the time and place are determined on notic'
thereof will be published in both newspa
