defeat and struggling for the rights of the people

hope of whatl Why, of gaining all the party
failed to capture in its twenty years of defeat and
struggling" of course. This is the change" the

General Hancock's letter is promised early this
week. 1t will be awaited with much curiosity. The
exceedingly small spot in his career which is now
doing duty as civic record" may be recalled In
the forthcoming document and it may not. Fit u.s.
his defeat will be made certain If 1t is not, he will
have to make his canvass solely his military
record and that again will be fatal. II he ignores
the past and strikes out on new ground, what can
he say II The call for {" change is already demon
strated to have been mistake and yet 1t is all she
CAPITAL the party has. Perhaps Hancock can invent
Il really good reason for putting his party In power
If he can he will do what no other Democrat has
been able to accomplish
