Hancock's Pedi9rse.

"Can you give me Gen. Hapcock's pedi-
greer" asks a correspondent. We can, and
beginning with John Hancock of Lexington,
here it is: John Hancock was born in 1870,
died in 1850, aged 80 years. He was min
lister at Lexington, Mass, and a son of the
preceding. John Hancock, LII. d., was
born in 1877, died in 1898, aged Sc years.
He was the first of the signers
of the Declaration of American
Independence, son of John Hancock of
Braintree, and the grandson of John Han
cock of Lexington. He was native of
Quincy, Mass; graduated at Harvard college
in 1854; member of the House of Repre-
sentatives from Boston in 1766; president of
the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts in
1774; president of Continental Congress in
1775; governor of Massachusetts in
1880 to 1884 and 1887 to 1898. Benjamin
F. Hancock was a son of John Han
cock, LID, signer of the declaration of
American independence was o lawyer at
Norristown, Montgomery county, Pa, in
1928; was member of the Baptist church
and superintendent of the Sunday school.
Winfield Scott and Hilary Hancock, twin
brothers, and SONS of Benjamin F. Hancock,
were born in Montgomery township, Mont
gomery county, Pa, in 1924. Hilary Han
cock, twin brother, is lawyer at Minneapo-
liz MINI.

lures to choose the electors, but this custom
has long been abandoned for the more re-
publican system at present in vogue OF al
lowing the people to elect by popular vote.
The present system has given as great satis-
faction as so imperfect a system could give.
Never before since it came into use has there
been suggestion that the old custom of
electing by the Legislatures be revived. But
the emergency for the Republican party is
great. The result of the November election
is already foregone conclusion. The Re
publican party is doomed to defeat, and on
the 4th of March must step down and out
forever. To avert this doom the leaders of
the party are ready to adopt any expedient,
no matter how revolutionary or how subver-
sivs of the principles of free government.
While it is not probable that the sugges-
tions of the party press in this respect will
be adopted, the fact that they have been
made is indicative of the wide spread deter
mination of the party to retain control of
our affairs at all hazards. 1t is,
of course, competent for the legislature to
act as suggested, but though technically
legal, it would nevertheless be revolutionary,
and would justify resort to arms, in order
that the right of the people to govern them
selves may be maintained. The Legislatures
now nominally in existence were not elected
with a view to the contingency of their
choosing electors, and they could only mis-
represent tue people. If they should endeav-
or to carry out the suggestions of their des-
perate leaders they would invoke such q
storm of wrath as would precipitate an armed
insurrection that would sweep the revolution
airy party from the face of the earth.
