General Hancock.

There was no more sincere mourn
er of the death of President Garfield
than his antagonist in the last presi--
Dental campaign. General Hancock's
conduct and bearing throughout serv
ed to heighten the public respect for
him. The relations between the
rivals of last year have always been
pleasant. It will be remembered
that the last official act of President
Garfield before he was shot was to
sign an order promoting Colonel
Mitchell, of General Hancock's staff,
to ON assistant adjutant generalship
in the regular army. He accompan
led the document with letter to
General Hancock written in his own
hand, conveying the most cordial OK
pressions of friendship and esteem.
It is singular fact Which has never
before before been made public, that
at the very moment when the presi-
dent was shot General Hancock was
writing reply to President Garlield's
kind letter, conveying to him the
most cordial expressions Of regard.

announcing the shooting. He left it
unfinished, and it yet remains SO. 1t
is General Hancock intention at the
proper time to present President
Garields letter and his own uniin-
ished reply to Mrs. Garfield as q
mournful memento of the kindly re-
lations that always existed between
the two rival candidates for the pres
idency.
