HOW Cen. Hancock Thinks.

Commenting on the assault on the
President to a New York Tribune re-
porter Gen. Hancock said:
1T was assuredly the act of lunatic,
or of a man driven into crazed condi-
ton by politics. The latter is probably
the true description OF his condition. 1t
is the natural result of strong political
feeling-iu other words, of political fac
ton; It is the outcome of the state OF
affairs which has been developing in the
country through factional anlmoslty.
There are minds so constituted and natu-
rally excitable which, when worked upon
by passion and intense feeling. are driven
into this condition. This man
is evidently of that class. 1t would be
absurd to suppose that he was at all con-
nected with any one else-in other words,
that there was any conspiracy. The man
acted on his own responsibility. his
mind was unbalanced and the result was
natural. In the case of the assasslna-
ton of Lincoln, excitement had been
running high upon the issues OF the war,
and the Southern people were embitter-
ed: vet Booth acted on his own respon-
sibility, although his act was an out
growth of the excitement of the time. "
do you think this act is possibly a
phase of Nihilismf"
II know nothing about it. l have paid
no attention to the question. do not
suppose it is anything of the kind, al
though have no opinion to express up
on the matter. Nihilism rises from Pc
cullar conditions, and there can hardly
be any comparison in the matteL 1t is
simply an unfortunate tact that the
President of the United States has been
shot down in open day"
'In case of the Presidents death, dc
you think it will have any bearing with
reference to the Southern peopleT

cuss il. The Southern people have
nothing to do with this matter more
than the North. The prejudices of the

A Talk with Ex-senator PIatt.

The New York IFi6u7ae's reporter
quotes the following talk with ex-Sena-
tor Thos. c. Plat:
"On reaching the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
about o'clock Saturday evening" " said
Mr.. Platt, 81 found note asking me to
come to Mr.. Conkling's room, and l
found General Arthur there. There is
no question whatever that Mr.. Arthur
was greatly troubled mentally over his
peculiar position. He has been sorely
annoyed by the newspaper criticisms OF
his conduct at Albany mean the
prominence which he has taken in the
Senatorial canvass-and to add to this
natural anxiety iniudicious friends had
brought him reports, more or less eXag
gerated, of expressions which reflected
upon him and his party friends in con-
nectiOn with the tragedy at Washington.
A good deal was said on this subject,
but there was no sort of discussion at
any time before he left as to what policy
he should pursue for the present, or in
the event of the Presidents death.
Mr. Plat spoke incidentally of his
pleasant personal relations to General
Garfield, and his regret at the misfortune
which had overtaken him. He did not
see how any political significance could
be attached to the act of the assassin
when the evidences of insanity were so
positive, and deprecated the course of
persons and papers that endeavored to
find a connection between an attempt at
murder and a political struggle of the
serious character of that going on at

No Demand for the Man ON Horse
hack


So MANY absurd savings which he did
not say have been attributed to General
Grant by Bohemian scribblers that we
shall expect him to deny the utterance
he is said to have made upon the news
of President GarfieId's assassination. He
is reported to have said that eff this is the
act of the Communists. | am in favor of
putting an end at once to such things by
the prompt execution of the criminal and
his supporters. While we find no fault
with the mere sentiment, and
agree that prompt execution of
the law should follow crime, thou
sands of Republicans and Democrats
will agree with us in the opinion that
Grant had better have held his peace
than to have sought in this great mis-
fortune occasion to present the idea of
strong government and to see In this blow
at the head of the American republic an
opportunity for referring the act to that
spirit which gave its strongest impetus
to the idea of strong government and
the man on horseback. The prevalence
of a Communistic spirit during the
early part of the last administra'
ton brought Grant prominently before
the country as possible refuge from the
agrarian spirit. 1t is now indicate for
him to refer this act to that spirit when
the only exciting occasion outside of a
pure lunacy, which was the real cause OF
the crime, is to be found in that stalwart
faction-spirit engeDdered by the Republi-
can faction of which Grant is regarded as
the leading exponent and presid ng
genius Silence would have been COM
mendable in such case.
1t cannot be charged with any degree
of fairness that the mere fact that per-
sonal insanity found an occasion in the
existence of fractional spirit, fixes any
responsibility upon the leaders of that
| faction. At the same time the crime is
sufficiently connected with that agita-
ton to make it almost an outrage for a
leader IN that agitation to charge it upon
Others who are in no way connected
with it, and whose sentiments are neither
cause nor occasion. Grant, Conkling
and Arthur occupy a position OF
peculiar delacy, in which silence
is their best policy 1t is
flying in the very face of pc werfully
prevalent popular opinion for the leader
of the strong government movement.
stalwart faction, to call upon the people
to act in this, call for the strong man
when, in doing so, he at once calls
upon them to view their savior
in him, and lays the blame where il
does not belong. This misfortune calls
for no strong government. Instead of q
call for Grant and strong government
this crime is demand for anything else
for reform, liberality, catholic and a
