No More Fit for the Presidency
than q Wlthered HemIOck.

The following letter appeared in the
Chicago Tribune, Oct. Sth. Ills written
by an army officer in Gen. Hancock's
department, who for many years has
been near to the person and confidence
Of Gen. Hancock. 1t says:
"GovERNoR's ISLAND, NKw York;
September 2S.
General Hancock, the dear old man.
Is just now on the verge of desperation,
and knows not which way TO turn or
what to do. The glitter OF the Presi-
dency has turned his head, and The con-
tinued heat and turmoil of the CAM
paign, with the differences between
Northern and Southern Democrats ESQ
strongly markedl TO equalize and ad-
just, fear will drive him stark mad.
"H-, my dear boy, Hancock is no
more 1T for the Presidency than a
withered henlock. 1 will be frank
with you-it is true. He knows moth
ing OF the South, except the few poi
isned and crafty leaders that called
upon hin here, and his brief acquaIn-
ance with the same class of men in
1867 at New Orleans. He means well
enough, God bless him, but he can not
comprehend the crookedness of politics
and those bred in the bone politicians.
And now while on tue subject l will
give you the secret Of this Hancock
move, and it is this: That Indiana dis
unionist, William IL. English, is to be
the real PRESIDENT. Hancock ia not ex-
pected to live out fraction of his
term, and that expectation, am sorry
10 say, Is founded on facts. Any
depression from his regular habits ia
liable 70 bring on an apopletic stroke.
Strong symptoms have twice exhibited
themselves since his nomination. And
it is the verdict of all around him that
his promotion to the Presidency will
terminate his earthly career. But this
fact has been, and is, most carefully
guarded, for reasons you can readily
discern. And now, dear boy, you have
the inside of this Presidential business.
With English as President, you can
readily comprehend what these shrewd
fellows of the South can accomplish
The Tribune adds: The above reads
like family letter; indeed, 1t comes
from q member of General Hancockfs
military family, and one who regards
Gencral Hancock with something of the
sane affection as one feels for his
father. We have the original letter in
oux possession, with private note
from the receiver Of It, authorizing its
publication, but Withholding the name
of the writer for personal reasons.

The Democratic Committee advertised
Wells A. Hutchins as "The Peoples
Candidate" This was most fagrant
insult to the people of Gallia County. A
Vallandighamer posted as 1.-The Peoples
candidate!" The people of Gallia coun-
ty, in 1868, by an overwhelming major
ity, expressed their detestation of VAL
landigham, and now, to post one of his
supporters as ''the peoples candidste,''
is an insult to their loyalty and to their
intelligence. That needs TO be spit
upon. We trust 1t was done Tuesday.

to all. Not less than six hundred of

others whose names l have not the

speeches of Rev's Caldwell, Prose,
McFa,ldin and Fillinger, were good
and well directed.
