WAS TIANCOCK A TRAITOR ? AN ASTOUNDING STATEMENT. Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuinxatoy, D, ©., July4.—The Baltimore slmerican this morning has the foltowing: “So far the press has refrained from attac! ing Gen. Mancock, but if I am not misin- formed some facts will be made public which will injure ‘the canvass ‘of the Démocratic enndidate for the Prosidcncy, Hancock, 1, Js alleged,.was.9 violent partisan of McClel- Jon, and when the Intter was relleved from command of the Army of the Potomas A COUNCIL OF WAR WA8 HELD which included Fitz John Porter, Franklin, Hancock, “Baldy” Smith, and a number of other oficers of less note. Itis sald that at that meeting Gen. Iinneock proposed that the order for tho removal of MeClollan be disre- garded ang the anny marched upon Wash- ington TO DEPOSE LINCOLN AND BTANTON, ‘This revoltitionary program, the story gocs, was seconded by Fitz John Porter, and would have been adopted had McClellan had tho nerve of his flury friend Maneock. It ts a mutter of history that thore was n great deal of Indignation expressed by McClellan’s ofl- cers upon his removal, and It Is believed that THERE 18 AN UNWKITTEN CHAPTER 1N WMICI HANCOCK FIGURES, but not to his advantage. It ts stated that Gen, Grant knew all about this matter, and that dt the proper time the whole story will be told to an astonished public.” M18 WILLINGNESS TO ONLY TILDEN’S ORDERS, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Br. Atanas, Vt, July 3.—The statement that Gen. Hancock was anxlous to support ‘Tilden In 1877, In the event of the latter's taking the Presidential oath, ts further strengthéned to-day by tho full statement of Iram Atkins, Chairman of the State Committee, and a newspaper corre- spondent, the Intter being pledged to secrecy at tho time of the Democratic conclave. Atkins says that at adinner given by him to Gen, W. I’. Sulth, of New York, in Montpoller last April, Smith made the fol- Jowing statement: Prior to the establish- ment of the Electoral Commission Gen, Han- cock informed Gen, Sherman that it was due ta him (Sherman) to be apprised of what his (lancock's) position was in the matter, Ie, therefore, would say that ho considered that Mr, Tilden had been elected Prestdent of the United States, and Grant's term of office ex- pired at midnight of the Sd of March; that regardless of anything Mr, Ferry might do, if Congress declared: that Mr, Tilden was elected President, he (Hancock)-belleved TILDEN UAD A MGUY TO TAKE THK OATH of office wherever ho might be, and that if Mr, Tilden did take the oath of office and he should recelyo any orders from Mr, Tilden, as Preshtunt of the United States, after mld- night of the 3d of Mareh, be should obey them. Gen. Hancock, Nike Mr, ‘Tilden and all patriotic Americans, acquiesced in tho decisions of that tribunal. ‘Phe correspond- ent gives the names a number of represen- tative Democrats," to whom Smith after wards made the same declaration, ITANCOCK AND’ TILDEN. THE LATTER ANXIOUS TO BECOME THE GEN- ERAL'S MANAGER, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, . Wasurnatoy, D. ©., July 4.—A gentloman just returned froin New York says tho pur- pose of the visitof Henry Watterson there Is to bring Hancock and Tilden Into fricndly relations, The Democratic candldute for the Presidency called upou Tilden Wednesday Jast, and there is to bo another conference shortly at Tildon'’s country-seat near Yon- kera, The object of the conference Is to de- fine: the relations of Gon, Hancock to the various party chiofs. Tildon {s still ambi- tious, 4€ hocan’t be President himselt he would like to be tho adviser of Prosidcnt Hancock, ‘Tilden proposes to run the cam- paign for Hancock und to use his *bar'l" ny, the latter’s behalf, tu return for which: he WANTS TO BE SECRETARY OF THX TREASURY and the chiof adviser of Hancock, if elected, —the “ powar behind the throne.” It is sup posed that Hancock will necept Tides co- operation, as ho fy without money of his own, and lacks exporlonce In running political campaigns, If the alliance between Hun- cock and Tilden is consummated, It will cuuse a great: deal of discontent among Walloe ene Penns Suits Mepected ee by Yidneock's 3 rightful man in yiew of his constant’ advocacy - of Hera ety usta tal he on represent cant gard to eouutedance Wallace at tha ‘| which, expense of Spenker Randall, and that it. !: hetter for him to make tho New York wlli- ance father than imperil!

Str. ALANS, Vt, July 3,—-It is an open se erebamong the Vermont delegation fust re- turned from the Cincinnati Convention (via ‘ew York) that ‘Tilden has contributed a “bar'l” to the campaign fund In the farm of a cheek for $100,000 to the order of the Hon. W. . Barnuin, Chatrman of the Democratic Natlonal Committee. It may be on the strength of this contribution, with the ex. pectation that nsimall keg of the sinews of 4 war will be sent into Vermont for the Sep- tember elcction, that the Democrats are mal ing assertions to. the effect that Hancock will carry the State. Vermont, however, may be fella upon for an old-tine Republican ma- jority.” GARFIELD, wat “onD a Foe TuovonT oF Se Spectat Dispatch to The Checago Tribune, Wasiinaton..D, ©, July 4.—Everybody in the Army of the Cumberland knew Johnnle Clem, the “Drummer Boy of Chickamauga.” At tho close of the War Gen. George H. Thomns assumed 'n sort of guardianship over hilm, and frequently wrote him letteraof advice, Here 1s 8 paragraph in one of them which his specint interest at the present times Nasuvieie, June 27, 1860.—Dean Joun: Do yeu remomber the story of Gon. Garfield's life? io worked on a canal and: educated himself by buying bts text-books, which bo stuated at overy. lelsuro moment. White the canal was froze up In winter he had time for bis quarter at school, Now he 1s ons of the most distinguished of our Representatives in Congress. Ho was also groatly distinguished as a soldier during our tate War. 5 HE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DROP IWANCOCK. Judge Abbott, of Boston, at the Hancock ratification meeting charged that Gen, Gar- field, because .the Republicans did not like Ifancock’s course in Louisiana, sought to get. rid of him by lutroducing a bill reducing the number of Mujor-Genorals, This is a very strange perversion of facts on the part of a gentleman of Judgu Abbott's standing. The facts are that about four months after Han- euck had been rellsyed from command In Loulsiann, Gen, Garfiel halrman of the Military Affairs | Cominittee, dueed a reorganizing the among — otlter — things, pre, vided that, no vacuncles which might In the Mut of Major-Genernls should be filled until the number was lebs than four, and the number should horeatter be four. There- upon Ben Butler, now o Massachusetts Democrat, with Judge Abbott, proposed an amendment which} would have mustered Gen. Hancock out ofthearmy. This was op- posed by Gen. Garfield, who sald: 1 hope the House will not adopt the amendment of the gentleman from Massachusetts. In the first place, it is very uugractous to ask it when the Comunittes on Military Affalrs havo found it their duty to cut down so Intge a number of persons {n official positions ag this DIM proposes, and particularly in the case of persons who have perforined so distinguished services ns have been porformed by the officers employed In hisgection, There arafive *Major-Generuls now ithe army,—Halleck, Meade, Sheridan, George IL. Thomas, and Ilancock, Now, to oof the General of the Army to select two of them to be stricken from the rolls, to let theburden and especial- ly what odium there might be in that selec- tion rest npon. the General of the Army, I think would not be trentlng him fairly, nor would it be treating fairly the officers who Now occupy these poajtt_is.? . INDIANA. $ BECRETARY THOMPSON'S VIRWS. Spectat Dispatch to Ths Chicago Tribune. Inpianarocis, Ind., July 4.—The Hon, R. W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, passed. through this city yesterday en route to Terre Haute, where he will rest fora week or ten days, after which he will go on to the.Pacific Const and inspect the navy-yard at Mare Isi- and, near Sun Franelsco, Speaking of his health, he said he had been very closely oc- cupted for several months with the business of his Department, and was, therefore, tired, but otherwiso he was as well as ever. Belng asked If he should take part in the campaign, he said: © Yes,I shall probably make a specch ortwo, ‘To what extent I shall take part [ do not know as yet, as the plan of the cam- palgn has not yet been completed, I look upon the prospects as very satinfactory to the Keon cans, and I do hot antieipate any difleulty in carrying the State this yeur. This Is my present linpression, based upon the Information I hud before leaving, ‘The deelsion of the Supreme Court sotting aside the voto of the constitutlonal amend- ments cannot fall to =ohave on marked effect upon the campaign in this Site, wut fe curtain tg be ‘iisctased in every part o! ne % and perhaps more thors hy than nny other subject.” Of Mr.’ Enelts! Wseandidaey for Vice-President he sald: “Ido not think 1 will add anythin; to the Democratic strength, If dr, English has any of the vlements of Popularity in his nature I have been very much mistaken in my previous estimates of his character, an Thave known him for s number of years, I think the Republicans are entering upon this campatgn with better prospects than for many years, and there is every reason to expect success.” WISCONSIN. TUE HANCOCK FIAKCO—DRUSTEN'S DILEMA TIN CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK. Spectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Minwauker, June 80,—A fow evenings since the unterrified Democracy of Milwau- kee held what they were pleased to call a ratification meeting at tha Academy of Mu- ale. The ‘hall will comfortably hold 1,100 persons, and It was two-thirds filled. George Peck, tho professional humorist of the Sun, presided, and got off jokes enough to keep the sinall crowd In attendance good-natured, ‘The orstors that were advertised did not come, and tho lon, James G. Jenkins, late defeated Democratic candidate for Governor, und still later delegnte-at-large to the Cin- einnatl Convention, and ex-Congressman Lynde were the principal spenkers, ‘The speeches were flit, stale, and unproiitabto ag far as creating any enthusiasm in favor of Tluncock and Englsh ls concerned, and the meeting was only held toguthor by the ex- pectation on the part of tho nudlones that Peck would soon say somothlng funny, Many of tho prominent Democrats of the city were con- spleuously absent. Congress! an Douster, ox-Congressman Mitchell, the 3fon, I, L. Pahner, and the Hon. J. W. Mallory,—both former cantidates for Governor,—John Johnson, Col, Calkins, George UH. Paul, Daniel Wells, and a hundred other noted loen! Bourbon politicians did not honor the occasion with thelr presence, CaNGHisnes Aa uRaaa ai waa in the elty, but, not having bean apecial- Jy thyited, he eat and sulked all the even- tng in hls room at the Piunkinton House, Col. ‘Vilas, ‘Tom Iudd, and ex-Congressman Cate, all delegates to tIsed, but nono of them came to enthuse for Hancock and English, The meeting was a greut disappointment to the managers, be exuse tho nominations made at Cincinnati are generally supposed to be aeceptable to the insjority of the rank and file of the party, as the Democratio mind was very hel torn up on that subject before theCon- yoution met. ‘The delegates went unli- structed, and were not settled In thelr own Hinds ‘pen anything except thelr opposl- tlon to Tilden, Col, Vilas, who had suld last fall, Just after his famous speech In eulogy of Gen, Grant at thy Palmer House banquet, that he would yots for Grant if he was nomi. nuted, was very violent agalust Tilden, and tho other delegates followed hls lead fn that puspect. ‘The nominations made are es cclally gratifying to tho poor Bourbon heart, becauss they save thom from an fin- pending danger,—from the usual Democratic Junder,—se to speak, and nut becanse Han- cock and English ure strong per se, or be- cause they represent anything particularly oot or wholusome that they are sable descr! Everybody expected that some infinitly stupid thing would be done at Cin- clanatl; avery Democrut trambled whenever Cincinnati, Were adver-" he thought of what it. might do that was silly and foolish, nnd when tt was all over every old fossilized Bourbon thanked God fer- vently that it was no worse. Afr. Jenkins, who fas been a Democratic candidate for GOVERNOR OF WISCONHIN and who led the delegation at Cincinnati, and who has the credit of belng a rey able man, undertook to tell his esteemed fellow Demo- crats why they should shont themselves hoarse over Hancock, and this ts tho sorry doteh he mnlgof it. The Milwaukee News reporterl his spéech, or that portion of it re- Tating to Hancock, as follows: What docs that nomination mean? Whore now isthe Republiern thunder? Where now is tho Republican talk of sotld South? Tho Kouthern delegates sald: Gentlemen of the North, wo will abide by your declsion: we have no candidate te propose, (Cheers.] Who is this man whom we pro} tocleut? Ho was onoot the noblest and bravest during the War; in tho face of the enemy tre never sheathed his sword; but when the battlo ended and the War wasover, he Jowered his standurd In respectful homugo’ to tho law of the land. What Is the meaning of {hat nowination? if italmply moant that the Republicans were to turned out of office and Detmocrats put in, I would never have gono to neinnatl. | [Ap- Inu.) It na dee) significance bas i ‘ban that. It meant that the damnable, though nameless, crime of 1876 should never be repent- od In the United States of America. [Vociferous applause.) It meunt that we have a man for a candidate who, if honestly elected, will be ine gugurated. [Choers.] It meant a farewell to Returning Bourds and Biectoral Comunisslons, And {t meant anothor thing. It meant that the time had como when the National Banks should be closed and a balance be struck with the Ke- puluican purty; that party which had Leen keep- ny the books for twenty yours by a ayatem pos cullarly itsown, It mennt that the people of tho United States intend to hire an oxpert book- keeper to see whethor our Treasurer has been faithful to his trust, It menut, that wo ehall have no more corruption in the Civil Service and that the Government of tho United States must be meninietered honestly and for tho public goo, ‘That ts n fair sample of all the speeches delivered upon that occnston, and it Is safe to poy that they will not be collected and circu- lated anon the people as x campaign docu. ment calculated toconvert Republican voters to the cause of the Democracy, “Jin’s”? un- fortunate allusion to “Electoral Commis slong" was a+very unkind cut on Papa Lynde, who was to follow with the next speech, because Lynde was a member of Congress in 1878, and supnorted the Electoral Commission act with all his might. It was Lynde and such Democrats as he that bullt the bridge ucross the disputed gulf over which Bir, Iinyes crossed to THE WHITE HOUBK iu safety and with legal and constitutional sanction. Papa Lynde squirmed at tho allu- sion, but the Republicans laughed. It may be stated, then, as a fnet that the Bourbons of Wisconsin are well satisfied with thelr ticket, and will give it a cordial support. It Is so much better than: they feared that they are quite happ y. And they fre quite proud to think that the Wisconsin delegation at _—— Clucinnatt started ‘the boom for Hancock In about the same manner that the Republican delegation started it for Garfeld,—with this difference, that Chairman Cassoday at Chi- cago when he turned the tide of battle in favor of the gallant Buckeye statesman and soldier had 30,000 Republican majority be- hind him to give welght and significance to his motion, whereas Mr. Jenkins could not promise Gen. Hancock 2 single Electoral vote. There will be no effort made In Wis- consin to carry the State this fall for Hancock and English, It 1s -no nse, and the | party lers know it. ‘They remember that Gov. Smith’s majority last fall way over 26,000, and that the major. ity of Guenther for State Treayurer reached the magnificent proportions of 28,000. And that was our of year In pollties, too. This fall we elect eight Congressmen, and it is the Presidential year, when politieal cyclones stake communities out of their lethargy, ‘The Democracy hoped and prayed for the nomination of Gen, Grant, for..then they be- Heved that Wisconsin would have been a doubtful State, but with GEN. GANFIELD AT THE HEAD the last vestige of that hope vanishes Hike the baseless fabricofadream. The hard-headed. Germans will not be won over to the support of Gen, Hancock because he Is a soldier, and they believe in peace and thrift, and not in war and destruction ‘The are highly pleased with Gen, Garfield = (1) be causo he js a soldier when one is wanted ta defend the country’s flag and the sountis's honor; (2) because he Is a: states- man when Inws ure to be passed relating to education, trade, finance, commerce, domestic and foreign polley, in- ternational reeipracity, internal. Improve- ments, the taritf, and the like; (8) beeanse he Is of German extraction and has felt the pinch of poverty in lls own person; and ) because his private and public career is ull of encouragement for every young man in this free land. They do not doubt Gen, Uianeock’s Hehtiin qualities, but they do not expeet that the Nation Is to be plunged into Qnother war during tho next four years, or hat the people will need the services at the head of the Government of ono skilled in handing Great anuies, i If the Wisconsin Democracy can keep what they already have—that is, three members of the House of Ropresentatives—they may think themselves well off. ‘They have at resent the ion, P. V. Deuster from the fourth, Gon. E. 8. Bragg from the Fifth, and Gabe Bouck from the Sixth Congres- sions! Districts. At the Inst election Douster had only 129 majority over Judgo Frisby, the Republican candidate, and since then the City of Milwaukee, TUE OLD DEMOCRATIC GMRALTER, has been carried by the Republicans by over 3000 innjority, so that Deuster thinks his title to the office is hold by a mighty brittle Uiread. When he heard the result’ of the jnunielpal election Jast spring he sali to a frlend in Washington that he would not bea candidate for the nomination, that the next Representative from Milwaukee would be a Republican; but since the Committee on Commerce hos reported favorably on an oll harbor claim Mr, Deuster has got his second wind and {3 oguin in the tleld, ~ The ublicans feel confldent that they will be able to defeat Mr. Duuster with some good man, and are Airwaly, discussing the available polnts of several excellent candl- dates, ‘The Hon, LF.

PUBLIO OPINION, - DEMOCHATIO RAPAGITY. ‘To the Editor af The Untcago Tribune, Cuncaao, July 8—It is doubtful whether the portrait of tho “ Laughing” or of the “Weeping Philosopher” should be placed at.the lead of the platform recently put forth at Cinefnnatl, Tho varying shades of the comical and the deplorable ake curiously Jatermixed in that unique instrument. among the former are the terse and serious admonitions to the ndlerents of the Demo- eratio faith to Innugnrate certain. great virtues of reform which- every Intelli- rent boy who hins begun to shave with- {na year knows have tinctive work of the Republican party for a quarter of a eentury,—prinelples and meas ures that haye been pushed forward to suc- cess against the persistent and unscrupulous opposition of the Democracy, mong the deplorable hues of this remark- able composition 1s a professed zeal for the purity of the ballot; deplorable, beeause it sets forth such a monstrous hypuerisy. An- other Is the tender regard for the perpetuity of the free-sehual system,—a system which, {n {ts fuauguration all: through the land, hac to fight its way step by step against bitter Democratle realstance, Turn to the plottorm of the Demoeratte State Convention of Indiana In 1870, and YOu will find a resolution to this effect: “That the public-school system, which was originated and fostered by the Deinocratic party, inust be matntalned,” ete, Whatare the facta? In May, 1847, tho friends of education in that State, in large numbers, met in convention in the State. House at Indianapolis, for the purpose of agitating the question of free schools. A. local Democratle Judge was elected Chalr- man of the assembly, who was so Ignorant the methods of a delibernitye body that the Convention - delicately and quietly placed a gentleman at his side to whisper to him how to do it, Among other speeches, the earnest plea of the present Secretary ‘at the Navy, who was n delegate, will never be forentten by those who heard it The result of the discussion was a Free-Schiool — bill,— which the writer had some hand In preparing, —enacted by tha Whig majority in the next session of the Legislature. [t was opposed by every Democrotic vote in both Houses. ‘alling to killit by legisintion, they pushed test question before the Supreme Court, made ipo Democratic Jud si who deectared tho bill ‘unconstitutional, Like Mr, Lincoln's semf-colon, an Indiana Supreme Court is “a handy little chap.” ‘Two years afterwards the Legislature was Democratic; but public upinion demanded the bill. Jt was enacted, and $200,000 nppro- priated tosetitin motion. Of this money ao eimocratic ofleer under the bill pocketed. $40,000 the first year, and the friends of hon- est: the State never could get a committee of investigation, This is the way public education was “originated and fostered’? by the Hoosier Democracy. And Democracy in Indiana ts not pecuilar, “Ab uno dixcite omnes.” The Clucinnatl platform is the handiwork of Mr. Watterson, who 1s credited with being ‘n skillfit rhetoricinn. But, though ho kept the Convention a long thne waiting, ho pre- sented a paper which, from beginning to end, violates a stunding rule of rhetorle:” “Tt fs anart to conceal art.” He not only made a wooden horse, but broved it by puttlng all the ribs on the outside, But the construc. tion of the platform js in keeping with the underlying spirit of the party, and cannot prevail, Twenty-two hundred years ago De- mosthenes, In one of his Olyuthian philip- pies, uttered this undying trut! “Tt is Ime possible it is Impossible, O men of Athens, ‘or one practielng injustice and ful: tl to. obtain substantial power!” Ex- SAUL AMONG THE PHILISTINES. To the Eulitor of The Chicago Tribune. Curcaao, June 30,—Gen. Hancock became the Democratic nominee for President be- cause he is about the only Union General of prominence who is a Democrat.. The Demo erutic Generals: fought on the other side. ‘That there is one on tie Union side makes him 80 prominent and exceptional that he stands almost without a rival as a chance for soldierly houors. And, though his connec- tion with the Union army with do him no xood with Democrata, but rather make him unpopular, yet it-Is hoped that it will In- Fyattate hin ‘with Iepnblcans, and win for him independent votes. ‘The Democrats, In thelr eager desire for office, will forego their fooling and forgive one who fought against them if he will now help them, They take him up for success, - notwithstanding their prejudices, as they took up Greeley, Bon Butler, and others of their bitterest enemies, They believe, moreover, that by taking a Union General they can wipe out the stain of trenson on their skirts, and restore thelr reputation for shattered loyalty. It is a des- perate effort to cover up thelr real Intention, which Is to get the former Rebels in power under the guise of honoring « Union soldier, One Union General is taken, to float a hun- dred Confederate Generals. With a Union officer in command they hope to march the whole Rebel army inta Washington, It ts the acceptance by the South of a fizure-head from the Union ranks ta get for the Con- federacy the real power, The question with the people still is whether the Democrats can be trusted, whether the wolf with the sheep's head on can he admitted Into power. Han- cock If elected would be only a tool of his fonner encmics, Te is nothing of a states- man, or even politician, and would not pre- tend to rule. That would be done by the Brigadlers behind him, who would ve the real character to his Adimin- stration. Hels not man, like Garfield. who woul bo President lilmgelf, He makes 9 pitiful spectacle ns a publicist beside that inagnificent statesman, He has nat, like hhnu, any views of his own on Natlonal polity, finance, taritf, or any of the subjects of legis- tation or adininistration, Me could not even sign a veto without gotting all his infor- mation from his Cabinet, who would be the worst Bourbons and ox-Rebels of the country. ‘Think of Wade Hamp- ton, Ben Hill, Robert Toombs, and Ham burg Butler directing the sAdmintstra- tion of the countr#! Open the gates to lut Tlancock in and the whole kennel of unclean dogs will follow, ‘Tha American people aro not tools enough to trust the whole Rebel el- cement under one loyal leader, An Adiminis- tration means not one but fifty thousand af- ficlala, and under Hunceck forty thousand of these would -bo drawn from ‘the Rebel ranks, Austin DrersoweEn, NOTES, POIATICN AND FINANCES.
