Who Wrote Hancock's Letter to
Sherman?

Some time ago the Republican jour-
mails we're quite certain that Judge Black
did Gen. Hancock's political writing
The Judge, they asserted positively,
wrote for the General those letters and
orders to Louisiana and Tex.s politi-
clans which are so famous. Hancock,
they were sure, was unable to set down
such sentiments "a mere soldier, you
know" they said "what does he know
about such questions?
Well, here is Hancock's letter Of ac-
ceptance-an abler document than Gar
fields in the general opinion; who wrote
thatp Aud then comes Hancock's letter
to Gen. Sherman, written in 1876, from
a country town in Missouri 1t VIC uld
be delightful to think that Judge Black
also wrote that; but unfortunately the
Judge was not there Unlike the Irish
mans bird, he could not be in two pla-
ces at once Yet it is very good let
ter: strong, sensible, conservative, show
ing as accurate an understanding on
Hancock's part Of the Constitution. as
the famous Louisiana order So far as
we have noticed the Republican organs
accept this letter meekIy as Hancock's g
own. This is encouraging perhaps by
and by they will give him also the credit
which belongs to him OF the authorship
OF the Louisiana orders and letters. The
theory that Gen. Hancock is q mere
dummy does not seem to prosper.-N

equally big flies in the face OF that

troubles. The man cannot see which
way the mule is going to kick and the
mule, who cannot see either but goes il

Had Enough Of Hancock's Letters.
Pittsburgh Leader, Rep.

The Commercial-Gazette is not wise
1t calls for the publication OF the whole
of Gen. Hancock's correspondence with
Gen. Sherman during the troublous win

can newspapers are entirely satisfied with
the one that has been published. That
is boomerang enough for the present. 1t

The Terrible Strain on the Engin.

When people read about, orride opchs
extraordinarily fast trains they seldom
think Of the severe strain and excite

the engines are subjected. To sit in q

hand on the lever, straining eyes andi
ears to detect o possible danger, every
nerve tense and every thought, centered,
on the safe accomplishment OF the Jour.

cling the death, at the early age OF 50, or

the celebrated Jarrett & Palmer train
from jersey City to Pittsburgh, q dis
tance OF 443 miles, without a stop. The
dispatch says: "Mr. Phillips has been

dating really from the time when he I'M

Philadelphia Record Ind, june s5.

As between General Hancock and
General Garfield independent voters
will find little difficulty in making a
choice. Putting no faith in the plat
forms promulgated by either party, and
taking no stock in their promises, the
Record, as at present advised, declares
for Hancock and English. The best
hope of the country lies in change OF
administration. The party in power is
thoroughly corrupt and there is no
promise of amendment In the election
of Garfield and Arthur, who in some
sense represent the corruption it is de,
sirable to end. Let US have change.
