This article discusses several political issues. One such issue is a letter which General Winfield Scott Hancock wrote to another officer. The article also draws a comparison between the Republican and Democratic parties. General Hancock declared that he thought that if U.S. politician Samuel J. Tilden was elected President, and that if he should take an oath before some justice of the peace, he would support the Constitution of the U.S. There have been times when it has seemed very doubtful whether the power of recovery had not been lost, and whether those who directed the party for selfish ends could ever be shaken off except in the reaction caused by signal defeat at a national election.
