EX-GOVERNOR CURTIN FOR CONGRESS.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The Democratic conference of the
Twentieth Congressional district met Mt
Lock Haven on Tuesday and balloted
during the evening without choice.
Centre and Clinton had instructed for
Ex-Governor A. G. Curtin: Union for
ex Senator A. II. Dill; Miflin for An.
drew Reed, and Elk for j. NJ. p. Hall.
Yesterday morning the conference met
again and nominated Curtin, and all
the counties cordially acquiesced in the
selection.
1t would be matter of little moment
under ordinary circumstances, for ex.
Governor Curtin TO be elected to Con.
gress; but in the present attitude of
his district, it would have been great
wrong to Curtin and to the party that
is now making n more than hopeful
battle for Hancock, to have nominated
any other. He was one of the ablest
and most honored Republican leaders
when Republcanism could look with
unmixed pride upon its own victories,
and he was one of the first and boldest
to revolt against the degradation of the
party to mean ambition and groveling
greed
Since 1872 he has been the most in
tensely hated and Indignantly DETAINED
of all men in the State by those who
rule the Republican party, because his
record and his speech were a constant
and fearful menace to Republican de.
generacy. lie supported the Demo
81, a,r
that year spoke in several States for
Tilden in 1876 devoted much time and
labor at New Orleans after the election
to aid in rescuing Louisiana from the
electoral burglars who defrauded the
people out of their chosen President,
and he is now one of the most entbu.
siastic supporters of Hancock.
In 1878 he was nominated for Con
gress in his present district, but was de.
feated by the over.contidence of his
friends, the quiet fusion of the Repub-
licans and Greenbackers, and the
employment of fragrant frauds. With
all of Senator Dill's strength in his
own district, Curtin was only few
hundred votes behind Dill but the fu.
sion made the contest close and fraud
decided it. Had Curtin remained at
home, he would have been elected by a
decided majority, but, regarding the
district as safe, he was impressed into
service elsewhere, and his own battle
neglected. This time he will be likely
to give some attention to his own con-
test, and, fusion or no fusion, his elec.
ton by large majority may be regard
ed as reasonably certain.

Gen. McCook, Of Gen. Sherman s

the other day, being asked what truth
there was in the statement that Gen.
Hancock was habitually overbearing in
the treatment of those under him:
"Any stories to this effect are simply
trumped up lies. have known Gen.
Hancock for the past thirty years, and
better soldier or kinder. hearted man
| have never met
what do you think of his alleged
incompetency as a military man ?"
"rhere is not a soldier walks the
earth with better military record than
Gen. Hancock. have never before
heard that anything had been said
against him. The opinion among army
men, from Gen. Sherman down, as to
Gen. Hancock, is the opinion held by
me. He is one of the best men and
soldiers the country has ever produced. )"

how much he was in our hands This

dy's Life of Garfield" In other words
Garfield wanted to do little bull doing
on Hancock with the assistance of his
Republican members. After Hancock
went through the thickest of the fight,
while Garfield was in Congress, the lat
ter wanted to punish him for uttering
sentiments which, while they were
statesmanlike and in accordance with
the principles upon which our govern.
ment vas founded, did not accord with
the "strong government" views of the
now candidate for President. But the
people will be strong enough this fall
to promote Hancock and retire Mr..
Garfield TO the shades of Mentor.
