New York. June 26.--EX-Goy. Rice, of
Massachusetts, believes the Republican party
will be continued in power on its principles
and work. He regards Gen. Garfield, also,
rs the more eligible Of the two candidates,
because, as he says, Gen. Hancock has had
The training and experience only of a soldier.
Excellent and irreproacllable though he BE-,
yet he has never had the slightest oppor-
tunity Or experience to fit himself for an adj
ministrative position, or for tile role of a
statesman. Ali Of those delicate points of
Craftsmanship and diplomacy ..l,d the
multiplicity of great problems which
are constantly being presented to the
National Executive for solution must be nn-
fathomable mysteries to man whose life
mind, and abilities llnye been devoted solely
and exclusively to the profession Of arms.
On the other hand, Gen. Garfield has all the
prestige Of gallant soldier combined with
the knowledge and experience Of states
man. The country heed not fear of any
fatal bunders being committed under lis
Administration. or Of his falling into the
hands Of INSCRIPTIONS people who can per-
suade him to intrust them with the manage

the largest Of all. Mr.. Tilden is to be asked

that they could put him down for $4,000,

Special D1spafth to The Chicago 7rtbuns
Boston, June e6.-There was good deal
Of political talk at the club dinners to-day,
and especially at the Middlcsex, which in
du1ged in a grand boom. Among those pres
ent and speaking were Senator Dawes and
Representatives Loring, Rice, Crapo, Bow
man, and Harris of Massachusetts; Presi-
dent Chadbournc, Of Williams College; At
torney-General Marston and Representative
Davis, Of California The speeches were all
eulogistic of Garfield, and full OF confidence
in the result in November. Chadbourne, in
speaking Of Garheld's college course. said he
withstood all the temptations Of college life,
and left there pure and unde1led. This he
thought was sufficient evidence that our
next President would be an incorruptlble
man. His early training and character were
founded on justice
To-day's dinners being the last before the
summer recess, . number OF noted guests
were present. ali around and everywhere an
honest Republican enthusiasm was manifest.

PERRY III. SMITH.
sERESADED BY DEMOCRATIC oFFICE-HUNT-
ERS.

|, ERs.
A large delegation of representative Dem
ocrats OF that portion Of the Third Congress
sional District embraced in the North Side
wards Of the city, last evening pleasantly
surprised lessrs. Perry 81. Smith and f. l..
Chase, delegates to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, by serenading them at their homes. The
start was made from Schuster's Hall, corner
Of Lincoln avenue and Larrabee street.
Three large omnibussas were provided for
accommodation Of the party, and, headed by
the Germanla orchestra, the cavalcade first
called at Mr.. Chase's residence, ISL Howe
street. After music by the band, Mr.. Frank
Cunningham, who had been selected as the
spokesman Of the party, called Mr.. Chase to
the steps of his house, and, addressing him
on behalf Of his attendant friends, said:
awe come here, sir, to compliment you on
the position which You assumed OIL the floor
Of the Cincinnati Convention and for the part
you took in nominating as the Standard
bearer Of the Demoeratlc party ting hero Of
cock (applause], whom the people propose to
seat in the Presidential chair. That he
was a statesman OF superlative worth
was evidenced in his administration as
lie had declared that the military must
always be subordinate to the civil power of
the country. [Applause.l In his nomina-
tion could be plainly discerned the certain
return Of fraternal feeling throughout the
impossible."' [Applause.]
M. Cunningham fntlorsed the nomination
Of English and closed ny again. thanking
Mr. Chase for the action Of himself and lis
associate in the Convention.
In reply, Mr. Chase expressed his gratitude
for the mark OF approval rendered by his
constituents. He believed the ticket was
one which would certainly win [Applause.

spring Of 1864, just as the Army Of the Poto~
mac was entering upon the Wilderness cam
paign. The operator, who is now in this
city was sitting at his table in the head
quarters tent on a sultry May afternoon,
when Gen. Hancock entered and sat down at
his own table, few feet distant to write a
dispatch that was to be transmitted to the
War Department at Washington The
: aRpcrator, who had only been detailed with
Yancock for few days, imagined that the
General would hand over the dispatch to
him, bur- instead of doing that Hancock
called for the orderly, who was in front Of
the tent, gave the paper into his hands and
directed him to pass it to the operator, who
ever afterwards had the highest appreciation
Of the Generals notion Of official etiquet.
No soldier can recall any similar incident in
the military life Of Gen. Garfield.
THE VIRGINIA BOURBONs
are very much encouraged at reports that
Gen Malone, Lenator~clect. has given in his
adhesion 10 the Cincinnati Kite, and that the
Virginia Keadjusters will probably now
work and vote for Hancock and English.

TRYING 10 ESTHUSE OVER HANCOCK AND
ENGLISH.
The Democrats in this particular section
haven't had anything to crow over for SO
long that no one with the soul of q mosquito
in him could Degrudge them what lit
evening at the Baseball Park in shoot
ing off the very small amount Of
enthusiasm which; after so many years
OF political heart-sickness it required to fill
their breasts, A number of people were
even good-natured and curious enough to
turn out and see how far their mock cntlusi-
asln would go. After sitting around awhile
and hearing the. old, WORKOUT Democratic
mouthings which have played a part in
political campaigns year after year, together
with tile Worship Of the fraud issle," the
curious got all they wanted and went off to
get a snuff of assafn!ida as sort Of relief
from tie powerful odor Of vile whisky and
tile inevitable short pipe. A stand had been
rlggeu up near the south end Of the grounds,
and a cheap band made melancholy at
tempt to infuse a little liveliness into the
crowd. Two or three calcium-ligllts had
been rented cheap and threw their
brilliant glare over the scene. The noise of
the engines to the east. was discounted by the
boom OF {. cannon on the Lake-Front to the
south, and dozen rockets were shot up into
space to give the thing eclat The crowd
turned in, hot, sweaty, and dirty, made rush
for the best seats, and precipitated volleys OF
horrible profanity OH the part Of the fellows
who had to stand up. After the proceedings
had gotten under way, and the calciunl-lights
had proved a failure Us far as reach
lng the reporters table was concerned,
a poor but honest Democrat parted With his
layout Tor this mornings breakfast by pro-
duclng from his coat pocket couple OF tai
low dips which did good service for those
who labored at the table. The side-shows
east and west Of the stand, and the entrance
OF another band later Oh, heading a diminu-
tive torclllight procession, rather tended to
produce confusion at the main stand and
bothered some Of the orators. It is easy to
eXaggerate the size Of a crowd, and
the party blowers ran it all the way up
from 5000 to 10,600, when in all probability
from 600 to 5,Q00 people all told is very
liberal estimate, made up from the known
capacity Of the sections in the grand stand,-
only few Of which were even comfortably
hlled,-and the comparative size-up of the
number who stood around, now on one leg
and now on another.
A number of welI-W0rn Democratic war
horses climbed up the ladder leading to the
stand, and planted themselves on the few
chairs with which it was furnished. Both

Special Dispatch to TIE Chicago Tribune
NEW YORK, nco&-A Times correspond
ent at Albany thus explains how Tilden lost
the nomination. He finessed once too much.
The correspondent says: The Albany dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention from this
city reached their homes to-day,
among tllem being Daniel Manning,
Rufus ". Peckhaul, and Mayor Nolan.
It Is safe to say, Judging from the feeling
among the most influential Of Tldeh's
defeated friends, that the disappo intment Of
the Albany delegates is but the reflection Of
Tildeu's own bitter regret, and that no de-
gree of cheering, and gln-flring,
and 1ag-raising can enable Tilden or
his admirers to forget how much
he and they have lost. The State Of New
York had been cultivated as a field fertile
and full of promise for the sage politicia Of
Gramercy Park. No stone was left un-
turned in the effort to make the del
eeation from this State as sure for
Tilden as cast-irou obligations could make it,
Tney went to Cincinnati solid Tilden body.
No secret was made Of their prime purpose
IN going there. It was to
NOMINATE TnpES AT ALI EVENTS,
and the ''old ticket" il practicable. Such
men as Manning and Peckham openly de-
clared it. In the minds Of such men as
Mayor Cooper, Andrew Il Green, Sheriff
Bowe, Abranl S. Hewitt, and others from
New York, delegates and outsiders, Tilden
was constantly uppermost- In him their cause
was embodied. BY them Iilden was regar rd-
ed as great and successful exponent Of
political ideas and statesman Of no small
