OPINION OF AN INDEPENDENT

Some of our democratic friends
take great pleasure in parading be-
fore the public the opinions of the
independent" press. The New
York Nation is one of the ablest in
dependent papers in the United
States. 1t never lets an opportu>
nifty pass to say hard things about
the republican party and leading
republicans. Here is what it says
about General Hancock:
"Soldier for soldier, Hancock is
vastly preferable to General Grant
lie has not won as many fights, but
he has won enough. We are sure
he would keep better company and
take much higher view of his own
official responsibilities. But he has
just as little political experience as
General Grant had, and is considers
ably elder than General Grant was
when the latter was elected to the
presidency. He would probably
make more discreet use of
troops at the south, but there
are no troops to use at
the south any longer. He would
be beset at Washington by problems
more serious than those which beset
General Grant, and there is no rea~
son to be found in his experience or
pursuits or studies for surprising he
would be any more competent to
deal with them. There is every
justification for believing that he
would pass very rapidly, as General
Grant did, into the hands of u
group or syndicate, who would
undertake to deliver him from the
theorists and 'idealists,' and show
him how earthly governments have
in the present condition of human
nature to be carried on. 1t would
not be the old group which carried
General Grant through his difficult
ties, but does any rejecting man
who knows anything of the ruling
influences in the democratic party
suppose it would be any better +!

of the results of 'cleau

fected under its auspices? Would il

INFORMATION WANTED.

The first clause of the democratic
platform reads:
1--WE pledge ourselves anew to the
constitutional doctrines and traditions
OF the democratic party as illustrated
by the teaching and example OF q long
line OF democratic statesmen and pa
triOts and embodied IN the platform OF
the last national convention of the
party"
AS Gen. Hancock has no political
record, and, whereas, the people of
this country are totally ignorant of
what his views are on the vital pub
lie questions of the day, we have
been trying to induce our demo-
cratic contemporaries to throw
some light on the subject. Very
naturally we have gone to our im-
mediate neighbor, the Tribune, for
information, but thus far our efforts
have not been successful. It meant
probably to put US IN the way OF
gaining the coveted knowledge when
in its issue of Friday morning the
following was stated:
"CbOse Of our republican contempt.
raries who want to know where Gen.
Hancock stands on any OF the Issues
Of the day are respectfully referred &c

Now, the democratic platform sets
out as quoted in the above para
graph. We think We know what
the doctrines of the party were il
1860. They were illustrated BY
such democratic statesmen as jaime.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A gen
tleman from Virginia says that the
condition of the political parties in
that state is one of surprising &C
tivity, and the disposition to cut
loose from the old-time bourbon
organization is on the increase.
He says that Malone is fully alive
to the situation, and his friends in
both parties are ready to serve him
in any programme he may suggest.
This gentleman is confident Of the
state being carried for Garfield, as
the discomfort is so great anon g

says they are determined upon
abandoning the democratic cause
and inaugurating new regime in
