citizens should feel a common ln-

The grandest sentiment that
Mr.. Tiden ever expressed was
his declaration against these
claims, and Gen. Hancock could
not have chagrined the Repno-
lican party more completely and
routed it more thoroughly than
by deuouncing the war-c'alms

claimants in the South ever since

probation of all true Democrats
in the Southland it can be
truthfully said that very few OF
that class belong to those who
desire losses sustained by the
war reimbursed.
THIS cry of claims did not rem

has been written his opponents,

SOUTHERN WAR.CLAIMs.

The manly letter of Gen. Han
cock on Southern Claims" re-
Gently given to the public, will
meet as cordial a response in
the South ass.in the North, 1t
has been charged by ultra Radi-
cal journalists such as the Gin
cinnati Commercial and the Chi
cago Inter Ocean-that GenAgal
Hancock would not presume to-
pronounce against the payment
of these claims, when the fact is
that there is no more obstinate
opponent OF the whole war slate
than the Southern people to a
man, except the exceedingly few
who happen to possess them.
The Southern people who, as q
mass, lived in regal splendor
and ldleness prior to the war,
have, since that awful contest
ended, gone to work for living.
They therefore condemn IN toto
any proposition which looks to-
ward the payment of losses
which all sustained alike, and
which. all should bear alike.
They are Disguised with an ar
ray Of hungry claimants stand
ing continually around Washing
ton, longing for "elaims," doing
nothing to aid the country nor
increase and further its prosper
ity. This Southern war claim
hobby is nothing but contempt
ible policy inaugurated by the
Republicans, and it has been
ruinous to a set of men who have
busted themselves in Watching
and waiting for imaginary claims
to be paid, instead Of going to
work like the majority Of the
Southern people did. The tax
payers of the South realize the
fact that the just debts of this
nation must be paid and they
have long since discarded the
idea that millions of losses sus-
tanned by the rebellion should
be compensated by the govern
