accession of Grant. Gen. Hancock was
transferred to the North and Gen. Sheri-
dan WIS placed in command Of the de-
partment Including Louisiana and Texas,
under whom the military despotism de-
manded by Gov Pease was Immediately
established. These facts all point in one
direction; that the Republican party fa-
vor Capitalization and the exercise Of
despotlc power, and that Gen. Hancock
is the greatest living representative of the
principles of American liberty and local
self>government. The issues are clearly
and Enthusiastically defined and the con-
test is narrowed down to q struggle be-
tween central despotism and popular
sovereignty. The result will determine
the character for cur government until it
is changed by revolution. Liberties vol

The Hancock Boom. .


Forty years ago about these days, up
on the occasion of the nomination of Gen.
Harrison, the country witnessed degree
Of popular enthusiasm and excitement
without precedent IN political contests.
Discussion at once ceased argument was
but waste Of breath ; the political issues
which had heretofore divided the peo
pie were utterly ignored. A majority of
Democrats adhered to their party from
force OF habit; but large minority were
powerless to resist the popular cyclone
and lent their voices to swell the general
chorus:
Well go for Harrison therefore,
Without why or wherefore"
Many sober minded men reasoned that
the excitement was too violent to last;
that it was popular spasm which was
bound to consume itself by its intensity
before the election, and consoled them
solved with the adage: "The sober sec>
ond thought" etc., and confidently pre-
dicted that it would meet with a check
which would turn the tide when it reach-
ed the old Democratic State of Maine,
the first to hold an election alter the boom
began. But it went through Maine like
a tropical tornado through cane break.
and came sweeping back with increased
volume and power. The Democratic
party, which had been in the ascendant
tor forty years. excepting an interval of
tcur years, and carried seventeen of the
twenty six States at the Immediately pre-
ceding election, only saved from the
wreck seven States. casting 60 electoral
votes, to nineteen States, casting two
hundred and thirty-tour votes for Harris
son. The Democratic party, it was be-
lieved by many who had acted with it
from disintercd motives, had been in
power long enough; the time had come
Tor { h h.nge;popular sentiment demanded
it; the candidate of the opposition was
not committed to any adverse policy and
from the day of his nomination his cleo
tion was assured; no earthly power could
have prevented it.
Every circumstance and incident con-
nected vita the nomination and election
of Gen. Harrison, pertains to the candi-
dacy of Gen. Hancock the popular dis
trust of the party which has had too
long lease of power and become un-
mindful Of its duties and obligations to
the people; a general desire for change;
the unexceptionabe and unassailable
character of the candidate; the assurance
which his election gives of permanent
cessation of sectional strife; the unanim-
ity with which he was nominated, and
the unbounded enthusiasm with which
the nomination was received in every
quarter throughout the Union; the extras
ordinary admission by many leading Re-
publicans, that the chances of success
are with their opponents; the undls-
guiscd opinions OF Gen. Grant and his
immediate friends that the election of
Hancock is foregonc conclusion; all
these and many other indications all
pointing in the same direction, make it
as certain as any future event can be,
that Hancock will be elected by the
largest majority given tor any candidate
since 1910. Beside the solid South, we
confidently count for him Maine. Con-
necticut. New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, California
Oregon and Nevada, with a possibility Of
New Hampshire, Ohio and Illinois.

Hancock as n Sta teSmsln I.


The letter of Gen. Hancock to Gov.
Pease stamps the writer as a patriot and
Statesman of the highest order. It should
be read and seriously pondered by every
American citizen who studies our free
Institutions with the honest purpose of
aiding in maintaining them as we receiv-
ed them from our fathers-a priceless
Inheritance for all generations. The
document presents the main issues be
tween the tive great pol tical parties of
the country in palmer and more compre
hensive language than any one OF the
party platforms and manifestoes issued
since the close of the great civil war
Gov. Pease, in his letter to Gen. Hancock'
represented the idea of Federal suprema
cy, absolute and unconditional, as pro-
fessed and practised by the Republican
party. As the civil Governor of Texas,
holding his commission from the Federal
popular will, he demanded of the Mill
tary commander of the department the
aid Of the Federal troops to subjugate
the civil laws to his despotic will. Gen.
Hancock, clothed by his Government
with powers limited only to his own dis
cretion. replies to this demand with the
declaration that the principles OF Anne
can liberty are still the inheritance OF
this people. and ever should be that he
will uphold the courts and other civil
authorities in the performance of their
proper duties, and that he will use his
unlimited power only to preservethe peace
and enforce the laws; all of which is n
exact accordance with the Democratic
party. President johnson commended
this action of Gen. Hancock to Congress
in special message, IN which he says:
"When great soldier with unrestricted
power in his hands to suppress his fellow
man, voluntarily foregoes the chance OF
gratifying his selfish ambition, and de
votes himself to the duty of building up
the liberties and strengthening the laws
of the country, he presents an example
of the highest public virtue that human
nature is capable of practicing. The
strongest claim of Washington to be first
in war, first i'll peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen,' is founded on
the great fact that in all his illustrious
career he scrupulously abstained from VIC
iating the legal and the Constitutional
rights of his tellow-citizens. When he
surrendered his commission to Congress
the President of that body spoke his
highest praise in saying that he had al
ways regarded the rights of the civil
authorities through all dangers and dis
asteas. Whenever power above the law
courted his acceptance, he tamely put the
temptation aside by such magnaminous
acts of forbearance, that he won the uni-
versal admiration of mankind, and left
a name which has no rival in the history
of the world"
1t will be remembered that Gen. Ham
cocks position found no supporters in
the dominant party in Congress at that
time or since; that President johnson
was impeached and barely escaped con>
viction and removal from office tor at
temtting to carry out that policy; that
President Hayes was denounced by
large majority of the leaders of his own
party for hi. announced Southern poli~
cy," which was merely to relieve the civil
authorities of the South from military
