The Issues of 1380.
CONCLUDI NO PORTIONS OF THE SPEECI
OI• HON. CARL AT INDIAN
APOLIS, .1U1,1" 20, 1880.
On the evening of Tuesday, the 20th
ult., Ilen. Carl Schurz. Secretary of the
Interior, addressed a very large Republi
can malting at Indianapolis. ills speech
was lengthy, covering the whole ground of
the present canvass, and we present below
its concluding portions :
And now I appeal to the conservative
citizens of the Republic, to you who de
sire the public faith sacredly maintained,
where will you go ? Can you, in view of
pia Sell t circumstances, conscientiously go
to the Democratic party ? You will, in
deed, find there not a few men who think
as you do ; but with them you will find
elosely :tilted in party interest of those ele
ineuts to whom our national obligations
are the fbot-hall of momentary advantage.
You will find on that side every State that
, has repudiated or speaks of repudiating its
' public debt; you will find there all those
who decried the public creditor as the pub
lic enemy, and whom no loyal tradition and
impulse attaches to the national honor.
You will find there a party, inside of which
the public faith has still to fight a battle
with its enemy, without any certainty of
its issue. Is that your place ? Or will
you go to the Republican side, where the
loyal maintenance of our public faith has
become a fundamental principle, univer
sally adhered to with unswerving fidelity,
in spite of the gusts of adverse public
sentiment in fbrmer days? And you who
desire to preserve the fruits of the success
gained in the abolition of the curse of an
irredeemable paper money and the re es
tablishnient of specie payments, where will
you go? Will you go to the Democratic
party, where again you will find sonic who
think a 4 you do and yet with them as a
powerful and perhaps the most numerous
eomponent part of the organization, wield
ing commanding influence in a great many
of the States subject to its control, the
great mass ofthe inflationists and fiat money
men who were gathered under the Demo
cratic banner by a seemingly irresistible
power o 'attraction, and furnished many of
the ac owledAed leaders of that organi
zation,i d who, even now, when the pros
perity the country has been so magnifi
cently aided by a sound financial policy,
would be ready to subvert it all, and throw
the country back into the wild confusion
of the fiat money madness ? Will you bus
iness min, farmers, manufacturers, mer•
chants tif the country, find the safety of
your interests there ? Will you help a
party to power, inside of which, between
its component elements, the battle of a
sound money system and an irredeemable
paper surrency is still pending, and will
you trust the earnings of the poor as well
as the fertunes of the wealthy to the un
certainties of its issue ? Or will you go
to the Republican side, where great vic
tories for the cause of good money have
been achieved ; where sound sense and pa
triotism have won every fight so far deci
ded, and where we may with certainty look
for the same sound sense and patriotism
to solve the problems not yet disposed of ?
And you who desire the administrative
business of the Government performed in
a business like way by honest and capable
public servants where will you go ? Will
you go to the Democratic party, which has
no other reform idea than an eager desire
to take the whole administrative machine
ry of the Government suddenly to pieces,
and to fill it as rapidly as possible with pol
iticians demanding offices as spoils? Oe
will you go to the Republican side, where
you have the assurance of a civil service
which, in spite of shortcomings and mis
takes, has already, on the whole, proved
itself capable to transact your business
honestly and efficiently, and where you find
all those elements that are faithfully and
energetically working for a more thorough
and permanent reform ?
I might go on with the catalogue to
show you where the path of safety lies ;
but it is enough. Your own State of In
diana furnishes you at this moment a most
instructive illustration. Look at the con
tending forces here. On the one hand a
man put forward by the Democrats as their
candidate for the Governorship, one of the
leaders of the wildest inflation movement,
one of the most vociferous advocates of the
repeal of the Resumption act, the success
ful execution of which has conferred upon
the American people such inestimable
bless . - es. Where would our prosperity
be lied be and his followers prevailed?
And now you find him the representative
man of the Democratic party, still advocat
ing his wild doctrines, and hoping for their
triumph, which would be the ruin of your
prosperity. You are certainly mindful of
the fact that the wise and patriotic men
among you, and I am glad to say that they
were a majority of your voters, made an
effort to do away with the scandals of
fraudulent voting, arising from the absence
of a good registration law and the seduc
tive opportunities furnished by your Oc
tober elections. You know how a major
ity of your citizens with the applause of
all fair minded men in the country, voted
and carried that reform at an election held
for the ratification of your constitutional
amendments ; you know how by Demo
cratic .Tudges that decision of the majority
was set aside upon reasons which made the
whole legal profession stare the country
over. Is that the party. which, as citizens
of Indiana, mindful of the welfare and the
good name of this State, you will support ?
Now look to the other side. Your Re
publican candidate for the Governorship,
one of your purest, best informed, and
most useful and patriotic men, who on
every question of public interest, he stands
on the side of the honor of the country
and the welfare of its citizens; whom even
the voice of' slandsr cannot reach, and to
whose band- his very opponents would,
without lie: !ation, commit their interests.
This is t!. illustration Indiana gives of
the cha - . v.:ter of our national contest.
Wha's, is there, then, on the Democratic
side which could seduce you from the path
of safety ? It is the nomination for the
Presidency of a soldier who, daring the
war, did brave deeds and deserved well of
the country ? It is a sense of gratitude
fur those brave deeds that should make
you elevate the soldier to the place in
which a statesman is wanted? Gratitude
to those who on the field of battle bared
their breasts to the enemies of the country
is a sentiment of which I shall not slight
ingly speaks ; it is a noble sentiment; but
is the Presidency of the United States a
mere bauble that should be given as a re
ward for things done en a field of action
wholly different ? Is the Presidency like
a presentation sword, or a gift horse, or a
donation of money, or a country house,
given to a victcrious soldier to please him ?
if so, then simple justice would compel us
to look for the most meritorious of our
soldirs and reward them in the order of
merit; and, brave and skillful as General
Hancock has been, there are others who
have clain.s of a still higher order. Then,
Gen. Grant, havitt!! already been Presi
dent, we should reward Gen. Sherman and
Lieut. Gen. Sheridan first before we come
to the Major General nominated by the
Democratic party. Certainly, let us be
grateful ; but let us not degrade the high
est and most responsible trust of the Re
public to the level of a mere gift of grat
itude. Let military heroes be lifted up to
the highest rank in the service which be
longs to the soldier. Let them be rewarded
with the esteem of their countrymen ; and,
if' need be, let wealth and luxury be show
ered upon them to brigoten that life which
they were ready to sacrifice for their
country.
But let it. never be forgotten that the
Presidency is a trust that is due to no
man ; that nobody has ever earned it as a
thing belonging to him, and that it should
only be bestowed for services to be ren•
tiered in the way of patriotic and enlight
ened statestnaushift. But above all thiugs,
the Presidency Should never be pointed at
as the goal of ambition to the professional
soldier. I certainly do not mean to de
preciate the high character of the regular
army. But I cannot refrain from saying
that in a Republic like ours great care
should be taken not to demoralize it by in
stilling political ambition into the minds
of its ellicers. The army is there to obey
the orders of the civil power under the
law as it stands, without looking to the
right or left. And it will be an evil day
for this Republic when WA) inspire the Gen
erals of our army with the ambition to se
cure the highest power by paving their
way to it with political pronuncianientos.
I will not impute to Gen. Hancock any
such design. He may have meant ever so
well when he issued General Order N 0.40,
which is now hold up by a political party
as his principal title to the Presidency.
But you ores establish such a precedent
and who knows how lone- it will be belbre
you hear of other general orders issued fir
purposes somewhat similar to those for
which they are now issued in Mexico
I am for the subordination of the military
to the civil power. And therefore I au,
for mating Congressman Garfield Presi
dent, and for letting Gen. Hancock remain
what he is, a General, always ready to draw
the soldier's sword at the lawful command
of the civil power.
What have we on the other hand in
the Republican candidate ? His youth was
that of a poor boy. He lived by his daily
labor. Ile rose up from that estate grad
ually by his own effort, taking with him
the experience of poverty and hard work
and a lively sympathy with the poor and
hard-working man. He cultivated his
mind by diligent study, and he stored it
with useful knowledge. From a learner
he became a teacher. When the Republic
called her ions to her defense he joined
the army, apd achieved distinction in ac
tive service as one of the brave on the
battle field. He was called into the great
council of the Nation, and has set tere
for nearly 20 years. No great question was
discussed without his contributing the
store of his knowledge to the fund of in
formation
necessary for wise decisions.
His speeches have ranked not only among
the most eloquent, but among the most in
structive
and useful. Scarcely a single
great measure of legislation was passed
during that low , period without the im
print of his mind. No man in Congress
has devoted more thorough inquiry to a
large number of important subjects and
formed upon them opinions more matured
and valuable. He was not as great7a sol
dier as his competitor for the Presidency',
but lie has made himself, and is univers
ally recognized as, what a President ought
to be, a statesman. He understands all
phases of life, from the lowest to the high- "
est, fur he has lived through them. He
understands the great problems of politics,
for he has studied them and actively par-
ticipated in their discussion and solution.
Few men in this country would enter the
Presidential office, with its great duties
and responsibilities, better or even as well,
equipped with knowledge and experience.
He need only be true to his record in or
der to become a wise, safe and successful
President. If the people elect him, it will
be only because his services rendered in
the past, are just of that nature which will
give assurance* of his ability to render
greater service in the future. The country
wants a statesman of ability, knowledge,
experience, and principle at the head of
affairs. Ilis conduce as a legislator gives
ample guarantee of great promise in all
these things.
In a few months you will have to make
your choice. I know that when a party has
been so long in power as the Republican
party, many citizens may be moved by a
desire for a change. In not a few cases it
may be a desire for the sake of a change.
While the impulse is natural, it should not
be followed without calm discrimination.
Prudent men will never fail to consider
whether the only change possible bids fair
to be a change for the better. It is true .
that parties are apt to degenerate by the
long possession of power. The Republican
party cannot expect to escape the common
lot of humanity ; but no candid observer
will deny that within a late period the Re
publican party has shown signs rather of
improvement than deterioration; and that
it possesses the best share of intellegenco,
virtue and patriotism of the country. In
matters of most essential moment to the
public welfare it can be safely better-coun
ted -upon for efficient and faithful service,
while its opponent opens only a prospect
of uncertainty and confusion. The Dem
ocracy may, in the course of time, gain the
confidence of the people ; but that should
be only when the repudiationists and the
advocates of unsound money have ceased
to be in its ranks so powerful and influen
tial an element as seriously to threaten the
great economical interests of the country;
when by energetic and successful action in
protecting the rights of the voter, whether
white or black, whether Republican or
Democratic, in all parts of the country,
and by the suppression of fraud at the
ballot-box through a healthy and irresisti
ble power of public opinion within itself;
it will have won the right to appear in its
platforms as the protector of the freedom
and purity of elections, and when it will
find it no longer necessary to discard the
ablest of its statesmen and to put a General
of the army, who has never been anything
but a soldier, in nomination for the Presi
dency, to make for itself a certificate of
loyalty to the settlements of the great con
flict of the past.
And for these reasons, in my opinion,
the interests of the Republic demand the
election of James A. Garfield to the Pres
idency of the United States.
Hancock as a Brute.
Cincinnati Da,;ly Gazette.
It is not our intention at the present
time to expend any campaign ammunition
on Gen. Hancock. We have no need of
so doing, for we have alleged facts in re
gard to his ways recorded five years before
his name was ever mentioned in connection
with the l'residency, and when there was
no apparent motive for invention or exag
geration. They show that he was not mere
ly the ornament of dress parade whom the
. soldiers nicknamed General Strut, but a
coarse and unfeeling man. In 1563, Sur
. genii Alfred J. Castleman, of the sth
Wisconsin Regiment, Tublished a volume
entitled "The Army of the Potomac, a
Diary of Unwritten History from the Or
ganization of the Army by Gen. George
B. McClellan to the Close of the Campaign
in Virginia, about the Last Day of Janu
ury, 1863." This testimony of an eye•
witness is very interesting and may be maid
to give a pretty faithful portrait of a rer
eonage often mentioned in its paees Un
der date of October, 1861, Dr. Castleman
says his regiment was "transferred to a
brigade under command of Brig. General
Winfield Scott Hancock, an officer of fine
appearance, but with ratar a narrow fore
head, and from what little 1 have seen of
him I should presume hint to be at least
excitable if not irritable." This opinion
was not mistaken, for about three weeks
later we find the author writing :
"Brigadier-General Winfield Scott Han
cock it' the very antipode of Gen. Smith.
He is fully as long as his name, with the
title prefixed, and as for quiet and courte
sy—Oh, fie ! I saw him come on to the
field one morning this week to brigade
drill. He was perfectly sober. He is one
of those paradoxes who believe that one
man, at least, is to be known by his much
talking. Ile became excited, or wished to
appear so, at some little mistake in the
maneuveering of his brigade, and the vol
ley of oaths that rolled and thundered
down the lino startled the men with sus
picion that they were under the command
of seine quartermaster, lately made Gener
al, who mistook the men for mules, and
their officers for drivers. He must be a
facetious chap. that General, to wish to
excite such suspicions. I think he hails
from Pennsylvania, but nobody seems to
know much about him, except from his
statement that he has been "seventeen
years in the service and knows all about
it." Whoever he has been, he has cer
tainly acquired a perfect intimacy with the
whole gamut of profanity."
This was by no means a solitary out
break. On January 2, 1562, the men in
hospital under the Surgeon, twenty seven
in number, were rejoicing over their Christ
mas and New Year's boxes. Then follow
ed this scene :
"This morning as I was prescribing for
them (all sitting up,) some reading the
morning" papers, and talking loudly over
war news, some playing whist, some chess,
some checkers, some dominoes, all laugh
ing and merry, Gen. H. walked in, and
looking for a moment along the line of
sick, exclaimed, "What the h-11 have you
got there ?" 'My hospital, General."—
"A brigade," replied he in his roughest
manner, "of a d—d sight better men than
you have left me. Where are your sick,
sir ?" "All here, sir." "Well, this beats
anything I have seen in the army, and if
you give your men such beds and such
comforts as this you will have every man
of your regiment in hospital before a
month."
A little later during the winter the Sur
geon went to see a detachment of his reg
iment which had been appointed to guard
Hancock's headquarters. He says :
"Around the house occupied by the
General was a large ditch some five feet
deep and some ten or twelve feet wide,
dug as the commencement of a fort. In
this ditch, over which a few evergreen
boughs had been thrown as a covering,
stood a well dressed lieutenant (from my
own regiment) with a squad of soldiers
guarding the General's house—the lieu•
tenant trying to infuse into the men a lit
tle warmth of patriotic feeling, while the
winter torrents poured through the ever
green branches, and their whole frames
shook with cold in this sentry house, char
itably built for them by orders of the Gen
eral, who at that moment was being joyful
over his wine, and with his friends
But it was not cold-hearted indifference
only that characterized Hancock's conduct
toward the men under his command. He
was mischievously meddlesome. Dr. Cas
tleman writes under date of March 13 :
"The effects of Gen. Hancock's vindic
tive meddling with the medical department
are beginning to manifest themselves.—
When he took from me my well trained
hospital attendants and my -experienced
druggist, on the sth inst., their were ap
pointed in their places men worthless in
the ranks, and without knowledge of the
important duties which they were to per
form in the hospital. The druggist knew
not one medicine from another, and to day
three men are poisoned by a mistake in
dispensing medicine. One of them is al
ready dead; the other two suffering severe
ly, though I have hopes that they may yet
be saved. Thank God I was absent at the
time, and had nothing to do with either
dispensing or administering; and yet,should
I write that the vindictiveness was not yet
gratified, would the world credit it ? It is
even so. I have addressed to the General
a respectful letter, setting forth the facts
and urging the restoration of my druggist,
but he refuses ! Would he decimate his
brigade to gratify his vindictiveness ?"
The sick were not the only persons who
suffered from Hancock's unfeeling selfish
ness. On the 14th of May the journal no
tices the arrival of his command at the Pa
munkey River, and continues :
"One circumstance occurred on our ar
rival here this morning, showing the dif
ference between officers and men, and so
characteristic is it of the man that I can
not refrain from recording it in my journal .
as "feed for the thoughts" hereafter. We
found some negroes drawing a seine in the
river here. Some soldiers made a bargain
to make a draw fur them, fixing a price
and paying fur it. The men had been on
short rations of hard bread and salt mo.:t
for several days. Being compelled to carry
their provisions in their haversacks, they
can carry nothing but this simple food,
while the officers, having transportation at
command, take with them all the comforts
of the country. Well, the net was cast,
and while the drawing was going on, Gen.
Hancock rode down to the beach and
watched the operation with much apparent
interest. The draught was nearly at shore ;
the hungry mouths and watching eyes of
the soldiers were being gratified by the an
ticipation of a feast, for it was now be
yond doubt that the net was cast at a pro
pitious moment, and was coming in loaded
with herring, shad and eels. But what
right had common soldiers to indulgences
like these ? The General's mouth watered,
too. The instant the draught was brought
to land the bayonets of the General's guard
bristled all around, and the General's ca
pacious bays received every fish ! Off they
were carried for himself and friends, with.
out even a nod in acknowledgement."
Too months later the journal declares
that Hancock was evidently "possessed of
one very Napoleonic trait of character—
that when an object is to be attained the
lives of men are not to be estimated." It
adds: "The men were exposed and hard
worked. The efforts of the surgeons were
not seconded. Their advice was disregard
ed. Sickness increased." In August,
when the weather was very hot, another
example of the General's inhumanity was
affogded. On August 19 writes Pr. CAS-.
tlewan :
"This morning we started early. The
day has been intensely'hot, the dust almost
insufferable. Gen. Hancock was in com
mand of his brigade. We had made a rap
id march of about ten miles. The men
were fatigued, footsore and thirsty. In
many instances, two or three having to de
pend on one canteen, it was soon emptied,
and when we stopped to rest after the ten
mile march, were in sight of a large spring
of beautiful cold water. But the General
ordered that not a man should leave the
ranks to fill his canteen. It was hard to
bear. but the men submitted iu patience
till they saw the soldiers from other bri
gades passin g from the spring with their
canteens fille d. This was too much, and
they began crying out, "Water, water."—
Immediately the General dashed among
them, proclaiming "Mutiny" and demand
ing the offenders. Of course, no one could
tell who they were. He then turned upon
the regimental and company officers, "d—d
them to h—l," and spent some time in con
signing the soldiers to the same comforta
ble quarters. After he had got them la
beled for that kingdom, he told them their
officers were "not worth a G— d—," and
having exhausted his vocabulary of gen
tlemanly expletives, calculated to encour
age subordination, he called the men in line
and put them through the evolutions of a
brigade drill for about half an hour, and
thus were they rested to resume the web.
These men—this remnant of a fine army
who bad been dragged through the p utrid
swamps of the Chickahominy till they were
more like ghosts than men—were thus
rested, thus drilled, thus marched, thus
abused."
And the subject of these charges is the
gallant officer whose martial qualities are
set forth equally to be admired by North
and South! If sneering at sick men in
hospital, if robbery of soldiers' food, if pro.
fane denunciation of the commanders un
der him, and utter disregard of every in
stinct of humanity are puts of chivalrous
strategy, the less we have of it the better.
If such are the graduates whom West
Point turns out, no one will regret to see
it soon among the instituaions of the past.
The late war was fought by American free
men, who voluntarily sacrificed home and
even life for the welfare of their country.
They were no unwilling conscripts, forced
into battle at the point of the bayonet,
but had they been a horde of recaptured
deserters, they could hardly have been
treated more contemptuously than by Gen.
Hancock. He may run well at the South,
but the votes which he will get from those
who served under him will be wonderfully
small.

field There.
F. P. Dixon, the brother of H. N. Dix
on, the victim of the assassin Barksdale,
has just returned to Washington, from Ya
zoo City, Miss., whither he went against
the wishes of his friends to see his broth
er's widow before she died. Mr. Dixon
remained in Yazoo for a few days, altho'
his friends believed that his life was in per
il, for after his brother's murder be was
driven out of the state by the murderers,
who warned him that death awaited him if
he should ever dare to return. He is as
fearless as his brother was, and on one or
two occasions he said to men whom be
knew that he was a supporter of Garfield
and that he believed . that Garfield would
be elected. These men at once informed
him that they would not tolerate such talk
in Yazoo and that it would be safer to in
dulge in such expressions of opinion in
Washington, to which place they advised
him to return at once. The Yazoo Herald
noticed his arrival and also his political
views, and informed him editorially that
such opinions were not wanted there.—
Even one of' the most conservative farmers
on the river, about three miles above the
city, Nathaniel Ingraham by name, gave
him the same warning while Dixon was
making a social call upon the family. "I
like you personally," said be, "but we
can't have men here who talk as you do,
and say that you hope and believe that
Garfield will be elected. We don't intend
that any votes shall be cast for Garfield
here, and if you feel as you talk you had
better return to the North." Mr. Dixon
says that a half dozen colored men cannot
get together in the street in Yazoo with
out interruption from white Democrats
who declare to them that they shall not
discuss politics, and forbid them to mention
the Republican national ticket. He adds
that it was the general expression of the
Democrats in Yazoo whom he met that no
votes should be cast for Garfield there;
and that no discussion involving any sup.
port of the Republican party should be al

Cemeteries for Dead Confederate So!-
diers.
6kiutheru Democrats are now quietly at
gulag that the political disabilities of those
who participated in the rebellion having
been removed, and the living relics of the
rebelion having been thereby absolved from
all taints of treason, the time has come when
immunity should be extended to the rebel
graves, and the dead be treated as magnani
mously as the living Confederates. In oth
er words, they say that while the law makes
no distinction now between the living ones
who fought for or against the Union, and
rebel leaders are allowed to fill any office in
the land, the dead Union soldiers only are
commemorated with marble monuments at
Government expense. They mildly sug•
gest that this is a discrimination unfair and
inconsistent. J. J. McLernore, a candidate
for Congress in Alabama, announces him
self as favoring the pensioning of Confeder
ate soldiers and establishing National cem
eteries for Confederate dead. lie grandil
oquently says :
"Of the Federal soldiery, marble slabs proudly
mark the hallowed spots where sleep the martyred
fallen,and gilded annuities gem the bosoms of the
honored living; while of the Confederate or Sou th
ron, the dead moulder unrecognized—expatriated
—and the living go unrewarded. This distinction
should cease, and we should place ou r countrymen
—Federal and Confederate, living and dead—up
on the same plane of equality."
