There has been considerable inquiry
throughout Indiana as to the cause
which led to the course Of the Indian
apOlis Sentinel regarding the Poor Mans
Friend. The paper has his name at the
head of its columns, and yells fraud
with c0mmenable regularity, but has
said nothing complimentary for its local
candidate for the second place on the
National ticket. Why? examined the
records and found John C. Shoemaker
once Auditor of State, and now owner
of the Sentinel, passed under the finan-
cial harrow, with English acting as
driver; and an agent close in rear as
CLEANER. He fought against the depre-
citation of real estate, he fought against
sickness, he fought against fate, but Bill
English finally captured him. After the
cOrmOrant had exhausted the large
realty of Mr. Shoemaker, by ways known
to himself, he found that he still had some
personal property, and he levied on the
same June 6, 1877. The personal prop
erty consisted of his household effects,
and the execution was issued upon Sc
curity debt, the note for $1,2O6, having
been given by VIM. Braden and endOrs-
ed by John C. Shoemaker and Thomas F.
Ryan. The order to levy was made by
Mr.. English personally, and appended is
list of the property seized upon and
sold bv sheriff Junn ~ 1877.

From Chicago Tribune.

From chicago tribune.
Hancock disputes one of Grants state
ments. Grant said: HE was very
fair corps commander, but was never
thought of for any great place. When
the Army of the Potomac was hunting
for a commander it took almost every
body. and even came over into the west
for officers, but no one ever even sug-
gested Hancock for the place." Hancock
saws: after the failure of the cam
paign, was detained in Washington
one month by Secretary Stanton, with a
view of placing me in command of the
Army of the Potomac, but did not want
it, and would not accept it." 1t is lit
tie singular that this secret should have
slumbercd in the breast of Stanton so
many years and finally gone down into
the grave with him. 1t is still more sin
gular that Hancock guarded the secret
SO faithfully; strange, very strange In
deed, that he should have kept the world
in Ignorance of the rendered honor, as
showing, at least, the high esteem in
which he was held by the great War
Secretary. 1t is just a little singular
that President Lincoln never knew that
Stanton detained" Hancock in WASH
ton month with a view OF placing
him in command Of the army OF the Pc
tOmac." It's evident he didn't, how
eyer, since none of his biographers men
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-10-16

ton the subject. 1t is singular that it took
Stanton month to make up his mind
to offer Hancock the perilOus command.
He was not wont to spend month
making up his mind. Gen. HancOck's
language on the subject is peculiar, to
say the least. He does not say that Sec
rotary Stanton offered him the command
OF the Army of the Potomac. He says
Stanton detained him month, "auith
v;esc of placing him in command" etc.
Grant says: Hancock was never thought
of for any great place." Is Grant mis-
taken? Did Stanton think of Hancock
for the command of the Army of
Potomac? Did he tell Hancock that he
thought of him for the great place? Did
he turn the matter over in his mind
full month without limiting it to per-
son except the subject of his reverie, and
finally conclude not to do it, not to give
the command to Hancock? This is the
only plausible theory on the subject.
1t relieves Grant from the imputation
of Misrepresentation which flows from
HancOck's counter statement, and falls
just little short of cOnvicting Hancock
of falsehOOd. 1t makes of Hancock's
statement an ingenious evasion; that's
all. There is another singular thing
about this business. The purpose of
Grants statement on this point was sim
ply to show that Hancock was not re-
garded as a military genius at the time
alluded to. The statement does not af-
feet HancOck's character or present
standing before the people a whit. But
Hancock shows his sensitiveness on the
subject of whether or not he is great
man by addressing himself to this ques-
ton first. Gran.says: Hancock was never
thought of for any great place." Han
cock rushes into print at once, saying,
II iCds thought of for a great place."
He reveals secret which Stanton ap-
pears never to have mentioned to soul
on earth, and which he took care should
not be preserved in any of his papers.
And for what? To crafty feeling of
weak vanity to show that somebody
Thought" of Offering him "a great
place"l In attempting to refute the
least important statement of the entire
interview of Grant, Hancock has unwit-
tingly pleaded guilty to the truth of the
most important namely: HE is crazy
to be President. He is ambitious, vain,
and weak. They 1.-THE SOUTH will easily
control him."

General Orders, No. 4O.r

From Chicago Inter Ocean.
In 1871 there was circulated, for DEM
Ocratic consumption, pamphlet EMIT
led 'The Civil Record of Major General
Winfield s. Hancock during his admins
tratiOn in Louisiana and Texas" the OBJ
ject of which was to enumerate and
press his claims for nomination to the
Presidency by the Democracy. General
Orders, No. 40-"this noble document
as it was styled-was copied in full, be-
ing prefaced by the following para
graph:
1t will be remembered at the time
General Hancock was appointed to this
position. congress has parceled out the
south into number of military despOt-
isms, based upon the assumption that
the people of that section of the Union
had forfeited their constitutional liber-
ties, and had no longer any civil rights
which military Satrap was bound to re-
spect. But when General Hancock as
suned personal command of his military
province, his first act was to issue an
official order from his headquarters at
New Orleans, prOclaiming that the con-
stitutiOn had survived the war, and was
still the rightful inheritance of all the
| people.
Toward the close of the pamphlet we
| find the admission which follows: ut
was thought necessary by the control
| ling powers at Washington to get rid of
General HancOck's administration in
Louisiana and Texas, it being deemed an
obstacle I'm the aUay of the Congressional
plan of reconstruction" These statement
fully support ex-President Grants
charge that Hancock employed his mil
| itary authority to prevent the execution
of the laws passed by congress, justify
ing his interference on the plea that the
military power is subordinate to the
| civil administration. Under a pretense
of recognizing the supremacy of legisla-
tiOn, and while holding position of
com bined military and civil authority,
created and defined by law, he refused
to yield full and cheerful obedience to
the law, by using his military functions
| to negative his civil functions, to the
extent Of making himself IAN obstacle in
the aUdy of the Congressional plan of re-
construction" This obstruction of the
execution of law he put forward as an
act of duty in behalf of the ascendency
of law. That such is the true interpre-
tatiOn of his conduct and of his motives
is shown by the fact that he received the
applause Of those who were f1ercely op
posed to the reconstruction measures
If he had been faithfully carrying Out
those measures, he would to-day be
placed by the Southern Democracy with
Thomas, Pope, and Sheridan, and would
have been Stunned, not cOurted, as a
Presidential candidate. If Hancock
could thus permit himself to be made Q
tool in the hands of the disl0yal, nation
hating, misunderstanding south
at time when patriotic blood was al
fever heat, what concessions would hi
not grant as Commander in-chlef seated
in the power of Chief Magistrate of The
Union? This is mOmentOus consider
alton for every liberty-loving vOter-0i
every one who desires to see the whole
country blessed with fair vote and al
honest count which is vital to the very
existence of free, popular government.
