CANDIDATE VERSUS PATTY.


SIR: great many reasons are given by
the Democrats why they did succeed IN eectng Cen
eral Hancock to the Presidency at the last election
Many of these doubtless true but there is one i'm.
pOrtan reason they evidently overlooked General
Hancock was put 10 nomination by the party because
Of bis good war record not that the party cared any
thing about this but IL evidently Thought That tAis
would give him popularity az the North aud also give
him large soldier 90 that he would be able TO
carry enough Nortnern stes with the Solid South TO
elect him. But the party has now learned by expert
ence that la order insure success 1t Is necessary that
the record and history OF party be in some degree in
harmony with the record and history OF its candidate
this respect both the candidate and the party swero
unfortunate. General Hancock had a splendid war
record, acquired during the war Of the rebellion.
The Democratic party had bad war record, ac'
nuired during this same war OF the rebellion. Tho
candidate was fortunate IN being the candidate OF
party that could make the best OF his only avail
able record This the party could not do without bring
ing its damnabe record into too much prcufE eacs
before the country But, as the record OF the
party prevented General Hancock from getting the SCH
dier vote any great extent However much respect
soldiers had for him. they afraid 10 trust their
In the hands OF the party behind him. and
their votes to the candidate and party in whosa
hands they knew their interests were safe.
