private residence all day long and OF
through the weary night. What for
nobody knows, but tired and jaded, il
sunshine and storm, this poor soldie
must walk up and down before hi
great master. At the Generals resi-
dence everything is done in pedantic
military way. No ordinary citisel
can see the General. An orderly, but
toned up and baking in regulation
uniform, receives your card. A
naughty Chief Of Staff examines it
and, if your clothes are good enough
he will permit you to stand before tht
General a moment while he sits, lis
tens, and waves you away. The ordi
nary Illinois farmer, with his face
Drowned and hands calloused with
honest toll, would never be allowed tc
enter the presence Of the commanding
General.
HOW GENARAL HANCOCK LOOKS
The first thought as you look al
the General is that he must be Bar.
nuns fat boy grown old. His face is
gross and sensual. His cheeks puff
out like the fat boys, and then his
whole head grows smaller and smaller
till your eye rests on his forehead
which is low and narrow. The Gen
eral is a great eater and a liberal
drinker. He takes his wine at every
meal and whisky whenever he feels
like it. High living and liberal drink
ing have given him a fabby, sensual
double chin. which hangs down and
rests over his smashed down shirt
collar, The General is SO years old.
He wears a white military mustache,
and weighs about $50. He is not a
good talker, and never succeeded in
making the simplest semi-public
speech. He is lazy, phlegmatic,
and does nothing but eat, drink,
and enjoy himself sensually. He
never reads books. If he were
not a Major-General he would be a
country landlord, who sits around
and lets his wife do the cooking while
his son attends to the bar. If elected
President he will do nothing himself.
He will simply be a lump of dough in
the hands Of the rebel brigadiers of
the Solid South. The sixteen South
ern States hate Hancock as they do
the old flag, but they have taken him
up as sweet bait with which to catch
the Northern Democrats and the SOL
dier vote.
The North once in the trap, Han
cock will be used to turn out North
ern oficeholders, and to stock the
country with Southern Brigadiers.
If he is elected the Solid South will
do it, and they must have the reward
That reward will be to call back the
officials who have gone from Illinois
and Indiana and fill up the country
with Rebel Marshals from Louisiana
and Mississippi, and Consuls from
among the Confederates. If Han
cock is elected S30,000,OOO now paid
annually to Union men in the North
will be paid to the disunionists of the
South. The Northern man who votes
for Hancock will vote against his own
country, his own people and vote for
the enemies of the Republic in the
Solid South. The man who votes for
Hancock will vote to have S30,000,000
taken away from the North and dis
tributed among the hungry secession
lists of the South.
GENERAL HANCoCK's S FAMILY.
Mrs. Hancock is a pleasant, ordina-
ry woman. She has no ambition.
She likes ease and comfort. If she
was in the White House he would
not, to use colloquialism, put her
self OUT to entertain any one. She
would form clique with certain set
and mot be at home" to the many,
simply because it would be the easiest
way for her to do. General Hancock's
sons, John and Russell, have given
him a good deal Of trouble They
have never been discreet, and have
frequently caused their father and
mother much anxiety. For example,
Russell, now twenty-four years Of age,
got into a Irritation with a Miss
Gwynn, of Louisville, few years ago.
He was dissipated and fast, and he
was not considered an eligible hus-
band. Finally he married Miss
Gwynn clandestinely, and kept the
marriage a secret for six months
Miss Gwynn was finally obliged to
tell her father and mother. The whole
affair was made great scandal in
Louisville, and so chagrined his father
and mother that they refused to do
anything for the boy. Finally, his
father-in-law, Mr.. Gwynn, who al
ways sympathized with the Rebels,
set him up" on a plantation at Fri
ar's Point, in Mississippi. Here
young Russell has been in sympathy
with the Rebels Of the South. He
joined the Mississippi bulldozers, and
at the last election was as much in
favor of obstructing the freedman
vote as the rankest Rebel. On this
point the views Of the father and son
harmonize. General Hancock knows
that there are three Republicans in
Mississippi to two Democrats. And
still his son will stand by and see
those Republicans disfranchised, and
the General will say Amen!
