be mere figure head from sheer inability
to be anything else.
He will be beaten for the same reason
that Tray came to grief-he is caught in
bad company. 1t is not Hancock per-
sonally and Hancock solely that the peo-
pie will be asked to vote for i'll Novem-
Der, but Hancock the Standard bearer of
the Democratic party.
Hancock will be beaten because his
opponent is infinitely better fitted for the
Presidency. Hancock is known to his
oountrymen simply as gallant soldier,
but Garfield is known not only as that,
but as one of the foremost statesmen of
the nation.
Hancock will be beaten because his
opponent in addition to being better fit
ted for the place, represents the grand
old Republican party.
1t thus appears that whether the can
vass is to be pursued to the cry, "Prin-
ciples, not men," or "Men, not princi-
ples,' victory belongs to the Republican
side. If the comparison be confined to
men, Garfield has nothing to fear, and
everything to gain. If the result turns
upon principles, what chance does De-
mocracy stand when its services to the
country are placed side by side with the
services of the Republican party?

Gen. Hancock's Position.

MIR. EDIToR:-It is 4 happy thought
for the peace and safety of the country
that the Democratic party has come to
it's senses and nominated for it's leader
one of the most faithful officers of the
Union army-one who shed his blood to
preserve the country against those who
sought its destruction, and, if | mistake
not, now holds the position of President
of the Grand Army of the Republic. And
yet, as | read the congratulatory mes
sages sent to him from the Southern and
Northern leaders of the rebellion, can
not refrain from comparing them to the
message sent by the crafty and treacher-
Gus Cardinal Woolsey to his agents in
Rome, after his defeat for the Papacy by
Jules de Medici whom Woolsey hated,
traduced, and abused. He wrote thusly:
This election. assure you. is as much
to the Kings (Henry the WILD and my
rejoicing, consolation, and gladness as
possibly can be devised or imagined Ye
shall show unto his Holiness the Pope
what joy, comfort, and gladness it is
both to the Kings Highness and to me
10 perceive tlldI once III our lives III HAUL
pleased God of His great goodness to
provide such a pastor unto His church
as his Grace Clement the VII, and one |
have long desired-one who, for his viz
tues, wisdom, and other high qualities,
we have always reputed the most able
and worthy person to be called to the
high office of Pope This is the Ian
guage used by the crafty Cardinal to one
who he had denounced and would have
made way with if possible. Fortunate
will be the distinguished General now
presented for the sutlrages of the people,
if elected, that he does not call, as one
of his advisers, a second Woolsey. Gen.
Hancock left to the dictates of his own
loyal feelings, all things will be well, so
far as the Union is concerned, but if I'M
fortunate enough to be influenced by one
or more Woolseys, then the quiet and
peace enjoyed for the last four years will
be a thing of the past. Y.

HANCOCK AND MRS. SURRATT

The remarkable anxiety of Democratic
journals to deliver General Hancock from
the odium of having been Mrs. Surratt's
eXecutioner is in ludicrous contrast with
their former attempts to fix it upon him.
The defence of his action in the Surratt
affair must have almost as much the
flavor of crow to the Democratic editor
as did the advocacy of Horace Greeley
for President eight years ago. Approval
of the Union General who only did his
duty, comes with bad grace from the
pens which once pricked into Gen. Ham
cock with the charges of unnecessary
haste in the execution, and of heartless
indifference if not eagerness in the per-
Torrance of dreadful duty. The con-
tinued harping of such journals as the
n. Y. Sun upon Gen. Hancock's connec-
ton with the ignominious death Of Mrs.
Surratt has so deeply affected the Roman
Catholic population of the United States
that their prejudice on this subject will
be one of the great obstacles to the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket in the
Presidential campaign. And the recent
declaration from the daughter of Mrs.
Surratt of ineradicable hostility to Gen.
Hancock revives the charges against him
in form which must prove disastrous to
his interests.
Without the Roman Catholic vote,
Gen. Hancock cannot have the slightest
hope of an election. Without that vote
the Democrats have never carried a
State, and could not now carry New
York. If, therefore, the statements of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tony, of Baltimore, re-
vealing their implacable hostility to Gen.
Hancock, should strengthen the old an
tipathy of Roman Catholic voters to the
executioner of Mrs. Surratt, the defeat
of the Democratic ticket in November
would be assured. The attempt of Mr..
Clamptt, the only surviving counsel of
Mrs. Surratt, to overcome the prejudice
against Gen. Hancock by saying that he
exhibited great reluctance to proceed to
the execution, and the statements of
Bishop Keane and Father Walter, repre-
senting that Gen. Hancock did nothing
more than his duty in the inflicton of
the death penalty, will have little weight
with the ignorant voters into whose
minds Democratic journals have instiled
prejudice against the present Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. Suppose,
for example, that pamphlet containing
the arraignment of Gen. Hancock by
Mrs. Tony and her husband, with ex-
tracts from the Democratic press in de-
nunciation of the executioner of Mrs.
Surratt, should be placed in the hands of
every Roman Catholic voter. would any
influence that can be brought to bear
counterfeit it? The assaults of the Dem
ocrats upon Gen. Hancock have put
sword into the hands Of their enemies,
with which it will be no difficult task to
give their candidate damaging if not
fatal thrusts. And Democrats will have
the humiliation of knowing that their
own defamations have ruined their can
didate. The reward of INSCRIPTIONS ap-
peals to base prejudice WILL i'll the case
| of the former assailants of Gen. Hancock.
| be very bitter.

HANCOCK'S RECORD.

The New York TriJune of Saturday
morning last, published an interview with
the daughter and son-in-law of Mrs. Sur
raft, which is mild and tame in character
as compared with the tens of thousands
Of Democratic assaults. denouncing Ham
cock as ''the murderer of Mrs. Surratt,"
that have been published. The main re-
suit of the Tribune correspondent inter
views, is that Mrs. Surratt's daughter
and son-in-law retain all their old feeling
of animosity to Hancock, which is not
strange, and proves nothing, and testify
that Hancock did his duty with unneces-
sary austerity and severity of manner
AS to this latter it is quite possible that
Hancock, at that time, reflected some
thing of the spirit of his COMMANDMENTS
Chief, President Johnson. Hancock, who
never distinguished himself except as a
subordinate, was of a nature to take color
from a man of stronger will and higher
authority. At all events, lie made him
self very congenial with Johnson, when
the latter paid servile court to the South
ern leaders who had snubbed or ostra-
cized him all his life and undertook to
break up the work of reconstruction i'll
the South. johnson could not use Grant
or Sherman or Sheridan or Thomas for
his purposes. Hancock was willing
Doubtless at this time the dangerous and
incurablc Presidential fever had seized
him, and he saw brilliant chances ahead,
if johnson could upset things generally
in the South and disintegrate the Repub-
lican party at the North, a prospect which
captured the judgments of even ADLER
men.
Hancock was clearly the man for the
times. His social relations and sympa-
thies were largely Southern; his tastes
were aristocratic: his temperament was
of that sluggish, conservative sort that
readily acquiesces in surrendering the
results of a great war, in order to make
every thing pleasant and Unanimous"
all around. Besides, he enjoyed the pa
ternal coaching of that long-headed and
great lawyer, jeremiah S. Black, who
then began. with all the determination of
his resolute and intlexible nature, to make
a President out of his handsome and
courtly protege.
So, against Grant earnest protest, and
after Thomas had firmly refused to re-
verse Sheridan's policy, Johnson assigned
Hancock to the command of the District
embracing Louisiana and Texas, on the
2Sth of August, 1867. Hancock did not
depart, however, for his command for a
month. 1t was necessary that he should
be crammed with Constitutional law, so
as to make a suitable Democratic record
for Presidential purposes. He had most
admirable instructors. Judge Black, who
could foresee all the contingencies with
the certainty of a prophet, and who could
furnish law for any emergency, was at
Washington with his protege. He was
ably helped by ex-Judgc Campbell, of
New Orleans, formerly of the United
States Supreme Court, and Robert J.
Walker, of Mississippi, who could, at an
hours notice, supply better law argu-
ments for both sides of any case than
most lawyers could for the right side.
Before Hancock's month of examining

Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
we're true. People had full
knowledge of what they
we're buying there, and yet
if afterward they we're sorry
they had bought, they could
60 back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere; and it keeps up
the old practices: no secrets
about what it's clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. Of course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great i'm
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years;
and OAK HALL has taken
the lead equally in econ
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production; in the
quality of finished work;
and in the development of
a method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t is worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better adj
vantage there than any
where else. If too far
away to 90, write. You
will receive in reply samples
of cloths, and prices Of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruc-
tons for measuring. The
rest is plain.
