that is an ordinary case of change of
administration. But if this were Eng
land, what would she have done at the
end Of the war? England made one
such mistake as the gentleman asks
this country make, when she threw
away the achievements of the grandest
man that ever trod her highway of
power. Oliver Cromwell had over
thrown the throne of the despotic pow
er and had lifted MS country to a place
of masterful greatness among the ma
tlons of earth; and when, after his
death, his great scepter was transfer
red to weak though not unlineal hand,
his country, in a moment of reactiona-
ry blindness, brought back the Stuarts.
England did not recover from this folly
until in 1859, the Prince of Orange
drove from her island the last of that
weak and wicked line. Did she after

Hancock as Il Statesman.
New York Evening Post.


We find the following paragraph in
the Cooperstown IN. " Freemaa's
Journal:
The New York Eccaing Poq INQUIRIES of a
leading democratic journal as to what General
Hancock knows about II" tariff and political
economy generally Il not deemed sbtrusiye
we will say that if General Hancock has had the
good taste to read the Ereajny Post for the past
twenty-five years he lauSt have become tolcraby
wcll-inforined on those subjects, and able to see
through the sophiStry employed by Garfield in
the support he give in congress to wood pulp and
other monOpOlieS."
Our question was addressed to the
Buffalo Courier, which up to the present
time has not found time to answer it.
The Freeman's Journal, like the Courier
is democratic newspaper of intelli-
gence and influence, and we are as we'll
satisfied with al answer from the one
as the other. The answer itself, how
ever, fails TO convey any definite infor-
nation as to General Hancock's econ
OmlC opinions. In a sentence it be-
trays the essential weakness Of mill
tary candidate for civil office. However
fattering our COoperstown con-
this journal, it is neverthe-
less an answer with an eff"
and will not enlighten anybody as to
General Hancock's position on the
tariff question If the Ereni2as Post
was running for President, what the
Freen1an's Journal says would have
some meaning; but as it is General
Hancock and not the Ere1aing Post that
is running for the first civil office in
the country, its clever and complement
tary turn of words is rather worse in a
political sense than the silence of the
Buffalo Courier. Even the FreemdnS
Journals hit at General Garfield for
his course on the wood pulp question,
sense, is essentially Inadequate and I'M
fair, it not only throws into strong re-
lief the fact that General Garfield has
economic opinions and has taken part
in the economic discussions and legis-
lation Of the country, because it
disregards the fact that General
Gibson, Democrat of Louisi-
ana, who, in his training, culture,
ability, integrity and free-trade opinions
resembles General Garfield very closely,
was as influential as General Garfield
was in preventing congress at its late
session from re-opening the tariff ques-
ton just before the presidential canvass.
The main fact, therefore, still remains,
that two of the most intelligent and
candid democratic journals in this state
do not seem to know that their candi-
date for president has any opinions,
opinions, fixed or temporary, about the
grave economic questions which beset
the industrial and commercial future of
this country. In respect to this i'm
portant class of subjects necessarily in
volved in civil polity, General Han
cocks career affords no sign Or token.

such modification of the existing treaty as will
prevent the evils likely to arise frem the present
situation. 1t is confidently believed that these di-
plomGtic negotiators will be successful without the
loss of commercial intercourse between the two
powers, which promises great increase of recip-
rocal trade and the enlargement Of our markets
Should these efforts fail it viii be The duty of con-
grasS to mitigate the evils already felt and pre-
vent their increase by such restrictions as without
violence and injustice will place upon sure fUn-
dation the peace of our communities and the free
dom and dignity Of labor.
The appointment of citizens to the various ex-
ecutive aud judicial offices of the government is
perhaps the most difficult of all the duties which
the constitution has imposed upon the executive

shall Cooperate with the executive departments
IN placing the civil service on better basis Ex-
perience has proved that with over frequent
changes of administration no system of reform
can be made effective and permanent
without the aid of legislation. Appointments
to the military and naval service SO regulated by
law and custom, az to leave but little ground of
complaint. 1t may be wise to make similar regu.
lations BY law for the civil service. But without
invading the authority or necessary discretion oi
the executive, congress should devise method
that will determine the tenure of office and great
Iy reduce the uncertainty which makes that SER
vice so uncertain and unsatisfactory. Without de-
prlving any officer of his rights rs citizen, the
government should require him TO discharge
ali his official duties with intelligence with ehicien-
cy and fathtulne>s. To select wisely from our
vast population those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filed. requires an acquaintance
far beyond the range of any one man. The ex-
ecutive should therefore seek and receive the in
formation and assistance of those whose knowl-
edge of the community in which the duties are to
be performed best qualities them. to aid him in
making the wisest choice. The doctrine announ-
ced by the Chicago convention are not the tenn
porary devices of party to attract votes and car
ry an election They arc the deliberate convictions
resulting from careful study of the spirit of our
institutions, the events of our history and the
best impulses of our people. Inmy judgment these
principles should control the legislation and ad-
ministration of the government. In any event
they will guide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected it
will be my purpose to enforce
strict obedience to the constitution and
laws, and to promote, as best [ may, the interest
and honor of the whole country, relying for sup
port upon the wisdom of congress, the intelligence
and patriotism of tie people, and the favor Of
God.
With great respect, I am, very truly yours,
