New YORK, October THE following
letter is made public to-day
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10, 1868.
The Hon John Haskn, New York
My DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 12th
inst, has been received, and | am much
obliged 10 you for the information given
and for your fattering advocacy of my
name in connection with presidential hon.
ors. know there is widespread effort to
make my name prominent IN that connec,
ton. think the matter more spontaneous
than directed. How deep it may be will
be told better in the future. 1t has arisen,
no doubt, from the fact that Gen. Grant is to
be, apparently, the candidate Of the radi.
Gals, and probably my action as com.
mander of southern military district may
have had its share. am anxious that the
conservative element should triumph over
radicaism. | have no ambition to be presi.
dent. shall be gratfed if some one else,
who can win, be nominated. My future,
should be in question, would be matter
of serious embarrassment, having no profes-
sion but that of arms, which would have to
be thrown aside, and possessing no riches.
However, if it be thought that can win
and others not, | shall not hesitate, all
other matters being in accordance with my
sentiments Ii. e., platform | mean am
truly yonr obedlent servant,
Signed WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.
WEAVER IN ILLINOIS.
ASHLAND, ILL.,, Oct. Gen. Weaver adj
dressed about 1000 people at Petersburg
to-day. His speech consisted principally in
denunciation Of the republican party for
its odious financial measures. He recited
at great length the various laws passed by
the republicans for the protection of ma
tionsl banks, and stated that Grant had
signed them all He dwct particu-
larly upon the outrageous bulldozing
practiced 10y the republicans in Massa-
chusetts TO defeat Butler. He examined
ballot gotten up by Republicans which re.
sembled the star splanglcd banner, The
object of the ballot was to enable the Re-
publicans to tell who voted their tickets,
and they compelled their employees to vote
it or he discharged. He denounced this as
worse bulldozing than the shotgun, be-
cause two could play at the latter game,
while with the former man had to vote
the republican ticket or let his family
starve.

The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,"
indicated by the fact that for Eleven years its average an
nua New Business has been larger than that of any other
Company in the world is due in great measure to its we'll
known pOmptness in the payment Of Death Claims and its
rule to take advantage of echncalities where an
equitable claim exists
Asa GUARANTEE of this, and to counteact the PERM
cou influence of technical policy adhered to by many
companies the Equitable makes ALL ITS POLICIES old and
new, throughout the United States
ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE
After the policy has been in force for three years
The Equitable Life has paid since its organ
ization to January lst, 1880, S51,S82, 1876, and
closed its books upon that date without con,
tested or past due claim"
The Equitable Life Assurance Society was the first to in
troduce the
T0NTINE SAVINGS FUND POLICY.
And thereby to popularize life nsurace to degree before
unknown.
By the late report of the Insurance Commissioner for the
states of Massachusetts, and New York the EQUITABLE Life
Assurance Society shows the following strong points:
FIRSTIhe Equitable has larger ratio of assets to liza
Utilities than any of the leading companies.
SEC0NDThe Equitable saved more of its income last year
than any other company.
THIRDThe Equaes death rate was less last year than
any other of the leading companies
FOJRTH-.The Equitable realizes higher rate of rent or
interest on real estate than any other company.

enemy of progress it seems to be possessed

hydra OF ignorance, bigotry and predju-

that "We have men who would greet with
great JOY the day when they could hire all
their laborers at half the present price"
No doubt of it. We have them every

tate to cut off their nose and eat it, if they
could spite their or other peoples faces by

Maintaining the National Honor.

Troy Standard: Money 10 more sacred
thon blood, but as The petitions from the
veterans show the people are awake and
determined that if the Greenback is not
good enough for the bondhoider, they are
at least entitled to payment just as muni6-
cent. This is obviously just. Money Els
not more sacred than blood. And if, the
soldiers were paid in dishonest money, then
the nation is still their debtor. There is
no escape from this conclusion, under the
bondhelders' own system of logic; but as
usual it makes all the difference in the
world whose OK is gored. That of the
bankers and billionists is sacred.
