That Hancock should be beaten
there is no doubt, and why he should
not and cannot be elected the Albany
Evening Journal gives four solid
reasons, as follows
L. He will be beaten because of his
recognized unfitness for the position.
III. He will be beaten for the same
reason that Tray came to grief-he is
caught in bad company.
III. Hancock will be beaten be-
cause his opponent is infinitely better
fitted for the Presidency.
". Hancock will be beaten because
his opponent, in addition to being
better fitted for the place, represents
the grand old Republican party.

"A Washington special to the st.
Louis Gtobe-D Democrat says: "In con-
nection with stories circulated by
Democratic papers that General Grant
has spoken favorably of General Han
cock as a Presidential candidate, a
gentleman tonight recalled CONVEX
sation with him when i'm New Orleans
in April last. A New Orleans Demo-
cratic paper at this time announced
itself for Hancock. General Grant
referring to the matter, said: 4 don't
think Hancock could be elected. He
is good corps commander; he is no
politician, and 1 don't think he is
much of a Democrat. / don't think
secend-class soldier can inspire suf-
ficient enthusiasm to elect him as a
military hero. The history of military
candidates shows only the comman-
der-in-chief in the conflict has ever
been successful. remember in 1864, at
the Democratic convention, one vote
was east for Hancock. l think this
was the first time he knew he was a
Democrat. 4"
