Every body knows that. But, 10 friends,
there Is one thing that eerybOdy
does not know. Hancock hasbeen in
the army all his lie, and thenOre you
might not al once suspect whit, how

cock is not only soldier, bl he is a
constitutional lawyer and a goo Amer

That was what in effect General Han
cock said, that Is what makes hun the
idol oi the people OF Louisiana and Texas,
that is what made louisiana the first
State To nominate him months ago IN her
State Convention; Texas To follow, and
that is what made the stern, hard baked
Democrats OF New England throw up
their hats and say,
"aanooOk Is Our Man"
And when a man is Democrat in such
a State as Vermont. he is one OF the
very best kind OF Democrats. Cheers.
Aud therefore, my friends, when / sa'
that General Hancock is a statesman,
speak but the truth. do not know that
he ever made a speech in his life, ald
George Washington never made but one,
and that Was about fifteen minutes long,
and he was astonisheJ that he had leen
able to talk that long on his feet. sen.

aud never spoke over half an hour when
he did at any one time. Old Zach. Tsy-
IOr never made speech except Give
them a little more grape, Captain bragg.
Laughter General Hancock Is not
speech maker, but he is a statesman; he
never practieed law, but he has read Law

8 better, obeyed the Constitution OF his
