DeIawGrsan The history of the
party shows that the Democrats have
never Disseminated against military
men, and the selection of Gen. Han.
cock is therefore, no new departure,
but is consistent with the action of the
party in the past. Now let us see
what kind of consistency has been ex.
hibited by the Republican party.
When Gen. jackson was candidate
in 1928, they declared that the country
had better suffer from war, pestilence
and famine than have military chief
tain for President. Yet they after
wards nominated and elected both
Gen. Taylor and Gen. Harrison. They
ran Gen. Scott, and went out of their
own party to, take Gen. Grant, and
twice elected him to the position, and
Gen. Garfield, their present candiaate,
was Major General in the late war.
The Democracy have never opposed
military men as such. What they
have opposed and will ever oppose is
the snbordination Of the civil to the
military power.
