General McC lellan.

Publio Examination

General McClellan was one of the guests at the Hancock banquet in New York on Saturday night, but the regular dispatchas brought only the brief remarks of General Hancock on that occasion. General McClellan made a short speech, which a New York Sunday special reports as follows: General McClellan said; I taank you for your kind mention of my name, ami for the cordial welcome given se. It would probably be in bettei t.uste were I to confine myself to a simple expression of my thanks, and leave m3’ place to others more capable of speaking to you to-night; but I have been rather painfully reminded of the rapid passage of time to night by the fact being recalled to me that I am the oldest living, not in the point of years, but taking th» order of dates, the oldest living defeated Democratic candidate for the Presidency. If we count Presidential terms us generations I can count our own great statesman, Mr. Seymour as my son, Mr. Tilden as my grandson, and my r gallant friend and comrade opposite ms as my great-great-grand-son. [Laughter and cheers.] I may well well be proud O-' heading such a distingushed line. lam sure that you will all agree with me that the party and county' have had quite enough of us. It may seem cruel and unnatural, but I am glad to hope and do believe that I have attended the somewhat difficult remit result of seeing the last of my line. [Laughter and cheer*.] One word more and I have done. A political party is much like an army, with which lam more ae cuatomed to deal than with politics. To achieve success we need as a party tiie same elements that gave our army victory - discipline, leaders in whom ali trust, patriotism and selfdenial, and principles for which to fight. [Applause.] The best advice that I cau give to any Democrat who will listen to me is that in the future that we should forego all personal interests, all controversies and fall

have enabled us to survive defeat and winch have characterized and marked the Democratic party from the earli est period of its existence. [Great Applause.] Charlie Stackhouse returned from a Missouri exploration on last Friday. Charlie says Jasper county beats what he saw of that section.
