Excerpt from Life of Gen. Winfield S. Hancock: With Portrait The author has received the following letter and contribution from the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, who in the National Convention was the second choice of the delegates to the position for which Gen. Hancock was nominated:. Dear Sir: I am very glad to know that a thorough presentation of Gen. Hancock's life and record is to be laid before the American people. The better he is known, the more, I believe, he will be trusted and loved. Let me draw your attention to an extract from a speech made by my late father, James A. Bayard, in 1868, at a meeting held to ratify the nomination of Seymour and Blair. There was no man in America who comprehended and valued civil liberty, or that kind of statesmanship which creates and preserves it, better than Mr. Bayard, and no indorsement could be more impressive than his.
