SECRETARY EvARTs DICTATES GEN. HANCOCK 5
LAST ENTHUSIASTICALLY EvarfS addressed a
large republican meeting at the Academy OF
Music Ia Brooklyn last evening. Ia the course
OF his speech he remarked that upon the eve OF
this election this extraordinary condition OF
things existed: That all over the country where
10y atty, honor and duty to the government
have been preserved there is animation activity
OF discussion, spirit and pride everywhere COM
munfcated and communicable, vital in every
heart. such community cannot but by annlhi-
lation die. But In one part OF the country there
is 10 animation, life, love. spirit; none OF that
movement OF the popul lr heart, that animation
OF the popular mind which belong to a free
people. All suffrage there is paraiiZej and sub
Jugated. How long can it be maintained that
lSS electoral votes are taken out OF politics aud
welded, not by liberty and justice, but by
power and oppression? After referring TO what
he considered discrepancies between Gen. Han
cocks tariff views in his letter OF acceptance
and Ia his recent letter to Senator Randolph
Mr.. EyartS remarked that there was left to the
general but one more letter TO Write, namely as
follows to VIM. I'll. English:
My DEAR SIR There seems to be an fmpres-
sion prevailing In the minds OF some OF my
countrymen that am running on the same
ticket with you. | am aStOntShed that anybody
should credit such bugbear. For myself
denounce 1t. There also seems to be an impress
sion that am running on the democratic plat
form. l am too sound an American to ever do
that. This Is the last letter that Shall write
and the last that was ever expected TO write.
