They describe in sufficient detail the operations of Hancock's corps on the right in the neighborhood of Corbin's Bridgents; the failure to support his movement; the transfer of Hancock's corps from the extreme right to a position between Wrighrform the part assigned to him, Wright, Smith, Warren, and Hancock had all been engaged and had suffered heavy loss; and thatostponed it on account of heat and dust and the fatigue of Hancock's men till 4 A.

The order of battle from left to right was Hancock, Wright, Smith, Warren (in single line), with Burnside mases, and could see what was necessary to get through them.

It was in describing Hancock's letter of acceptance that the Sun, with ill-concealed contempt, declared that it is as broad and comprehensive as the continent, as elastic as india-rubber, and as sweet as honey. And it was in speaking of his personality that it said: General Hancock is a good man, weighing two hundred and fifty pounds. After the election was over and the result established beyond a doubt, it came out with the sententious statement, based upon the small plurality against it, that what the Democratic party needs is leaders who are not knaves and not fools. It has votes enough. The assassination of Garfield a few months after his inauguration filled the public mind with sympathy and completely wiped out the memory of the charg
