The republicans are terribly averse,
inst now to a s.mere SOLDIER for presi-

good service during the war. said, be-
fore he sailed for a short trip to Europe,
some weeks ago:-''l notice that repub-
lican papers say Gen. Hancock is nothing
but a soldier. Well. there are IN
soldiers in the state OF New York, who
will vote at the next election, and there
are 5000 in Pennsylvania. The re-
publicans have presented soldiers over
and over again, on the ground thai they
saved the country I; but. when the DEM
ocrats bring up one as a candidate-and
he one OF the most gallant men who ever
wore an American uniform-they say he
is only a soldier" Yes; that is about
the size OF 1t. When they put up a union
soldier it is from pure patriotism, and
he ought, of course. to be elected; when
democrats do go. It is ''quite the re-
verse; Hancock has become n traitor.
