The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1880-07-02

New York Truth, that Gen. Grant
would repndiate Garfield and support
Hancock.
Gen. Grant Thinks THAT Hancock win be
Elected.
DUDuQoE, June 27.-A report sent
out from Galena that Gen. Grant has
declared his intention to support
Hancock for the presidency Is denied
by the General, and arose from the
fact OF his having given 1t as his
opinion that Hancock would be elect
ed. He does not hesitate to say that,
in his opinion, the democrats have
In General Hancock nominated their
best and strongest man for the Office
OF President, and that neither his
public nor private character can be
successfully assailed. This Is the
substance Of tho ex-presfdenfs public
statement on that subject.

CHICAGO, June 24.-The Dailg Yeus
Nnd. says, The democratic cor
vention has exhibited much more wig
dom than the country had good rca-
son to expect. The nomination OF
General Hancock Is q choice Of the
very best men suggested for tho po-
sition. In so far as II was possible
for the democratic national conven-
tlUn TO settle the issues OF the war and
Law away the bloody shirt II has been
done. By the acceptance ofa Union
general and a soldier who did gallant
service for tho ma ton during the re-
belllon, the south has indeed made
good the words of General Hubbard,
when yesterday he nssested that ALI
that Dixie wanted was peace and
their only weapon an olive branch.
1t also justIhes General Grants fro
quent assertions that the south was
quiet, and determined TO accept the
results Of the war. II Enay be regard
cd as reasonably certain that tho de-
feat OF Tllden having been accom-
pllShed, John Kelley and Iammany
hall will join heartily in support OF
the ticket, and that the democracy
Of New York, will once more present
q united front. The chances arc that
Hancock Will carry New York, New
Jersey and Indiana, while Connecti-
cut may be regarded as a doubtful
state.
CHEERING VOICES FROM THE soITu.
NASHVILLE, June 24.-The Ameri-
can will say Of the ticket tomorrow
II Is said that Louisiana and Texas
cherished the name OF Hancock and
followed his political fortunes In de-
feat until their grateful and gallant
persistence have made him the pres
ident OF the United States. HIS
Louisiana aud Texas letter was not
bis sole title toI respect and honor.
His acts were in accord with his
principles. Almost alone OF the s';c-
cessful generals, he stood firm against
the Insane popular clamor of tho Re-
publlcans, and the political plotiers
against civil liberty and civil govern
ment, who involved the whole coun-
tryin the evils consequent upon recon-
struction and barpet-baggers. When
Grant, tho honorable soldier with n
name untarnished, consented TO be
anything for political preferment,
Hancock stood squarely on principle.
OF him II may be truly said, though
the quotation be hackneyed, that che
never trooked the pregnant hinges OF
the knee that thrill might folio w
fawnipg." II Is meet and well BELTS
the time and the occasion, that they
who stood by the civil government In
the darkest hour OF the republic,
should be called to the highest civil
chair In that very hour when at last
that civil government Is to be made
perfect, and restoration and reconcIlia-
ton complete. There is the dawn OF
victory In the very Thought.

NRw ORLIASs, June 2I.-The Pie.
ayHne says: Already the nomination
OF Winfield Scott Hancock TO the
presidency OF the United States has
been hailed with rtJoicings by mill
ions OF men. Wherever the wires
reach The news has gone, and wher-
ever The news has gone the people
have said, "Well done" The pre-
science OF victory, inspired by the
magic OF great name, lights up the
counienanco of every true and faith
ful democrat. The boys In blue and
the boys In gray have one leader
now. Their lines reach the whole
length OF the land, and 1t cannot be
broken. The supremacy OF civil over
military power, the restoration OF the
union as Il was, the maintenance of
the constitution as ii is. peace and
good will between the sections, and
home rule everywhere, are the ideas
which the nomination presents.

MOBILE, June 24.--The RegiSter

tional democratic convention have
done nobIy in presenting to the coun-
try the names Hancock and English.
General Hancock's record as citizen
and a soldier unassaiiable by the re-
publican party upon any of the issues
connected with the late civil war.
As n federal general he fought the
south with great gallantry, and when
the war was over extended 10 us the
rights Of citizens, and yindicated the
supremacy of the civil law. His pub
lie papers while commander of Louis
lana and Texas, during the dark days
of reconstruction, are models of states
manship, on which the democratic
party throughout Ia union can plant
themselves with assurances of vie
