The Political Situation In Virginia.
CHICAGO, July Sth.- The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: Stilson Hutchins
has ceased to boast and begun to plead. This
in the Post he walls over Virginia as
follows: The Readjusters' party of Vir-
ginia met in Convention at Richmond yes
terdaY, and earnestly indorsed the Demo
catic ticket but nominated full and dis
tinct set of Presidential Electors to be voted
for next November. This means, in effect,
that the regular Democrats Of the State will
vote for one Hancock electoral ticket,
the Readjusters for another Hancock elec.,
toral ticket. the Republicans for one Garfield
electoral ticket-leaving the latter to carry
the State and Garfield to secure its electorsl
vote. There is a large Democratic majority
in Virginia, but it cannot be divided and re-
main majority. If the contending factions
of the Democracy-the Conservatives and
the Readjusters- upon running sepa-
rate Hancock tickets, Garfield will carry the
State and eleven electoral votes A remedy
for this threatened evil must be found at once
Hancoci1's Major-GeneIaiship.
WASHINGTON, July Sth.-In regard to the
report sent out from here that army officers
in Washington believe and have information
that General Hancock will resign his Major.
Generalship in the army, it can be stated
that no officers here have any such informa.
tion, and further, they do not believe that he
will resign. There is no reason why he
should. The precedents are all the other
way. While the War Department has heard
nothing from General Hancock, it is believed
there that he will not resign from the army
unless he is elected to the Presidency.
General Grant and Hancock.
CHICAGO, July Sth-The Adrance of this
city publishes the following in its issue OF this
day: As regards the reports of General
Grants feelings and relations towards Gen.
eral Hancock, General Grant denies promptly
the report in the Truth. The following, adj
dressed to the Aduance, is interesting, as con.
frmatory of that denial, and as alike contra
dictory of the report that General Grant had
cherished personal animosity and petty spite
against General Hancock since the Mexican
war:
You have probably seen that denied the canard
started by the New York Truth the very day it was
started have nothing to say against Genera
Hancock have known him for forty years. His
personal official and military record is good. Tht
record of the party which has put him in nomina
tion is bad. Yours truly, U. S. GRANT.
