among the young Germans for Hancock
Louis @. Smith, of Wellsville, Allegany
county, N. Y. writes: "We have formed a
Hancock club numbering 500 enrolled mem

DR.. Michael Stock, Greenback candidate for
lieutenant governor two years ago, has como
out for Hancock. DR.. Stock was appointed In.
dian agent for New Mexico under Filmore's
administration and subsequently superintend-

down by Edward Hutchins, stalwart Repub

ON his refusal, tore the flag down. Yesterday

completed his work by burning that part of it

"Our club has an enrolled membership Of
over 500. As an auxiliary to the club we have
Hancock Legion, which at this date en-
braces eighty-six soldiers. The captain is an
old-line Republican, who, like many others
of our town. has openly pronounced for Han
cock and English. Within one week after the
nomination, Mr.. Jacob Scheu, who up to that
time had never been anything but the most
pronounced Republican and the leader of the
Germans in this entire section, raised the first
hickory pole for Hancock and English that
was set up in this town or county, and is now
laboring for the ticket
Mr.. Nehrbas, president of the German-Amer-
lean Independent association of New York.
said: "Our or 1anization has an enrolled mem.
bership of about 5000 and we are chiefly in
terested in local matters. When it comes to a
national election we have always heretofore
split, the Republicans supporting their national
ticket and the Democrats theirs. This year,
with the exception of two members, the organ
ization will support the Cincinnati nominees
as body. Connected with the organization is
a German Veteran association, divided into
camps, which now number seven, with an
average membership of Its. Eighty per cent.
of these members have always heretofore been
Republicans, but this year they are all Han
cock men,"
Judge George Hoadley, of Cincinnati, who
was temporary chairman of the National con-
vention, was at the committee rooms last night,
and, in reply to questions about the prospects
in Ohio, said: "1he contest in Ohio is one of
the closest have ever known. We have lost
two or three prominent men who were with US
four years ago, but gained others from our OPP
ponents. Among the mass of voters hear of
many changes to our side. In one small Han
cock club. in my neighborhood, there are
thirteen members who have been heretofore
Republicans. The head of our State ticket,
Judge Lang, is German, who will bring us
some strength. think, however, that our
national ticket is even stronger than our
State ticket in Ohio. The Republicans
are not as thoroughly harmonious as they were
four years ago. as we are. but still they have
many advantages in power aud patronage and
money. I do not think it will be we'll to be
boastful now when SO much work remains to
be done. We will strain every nerve to carry
the State by systematic effort and energy add
thorough organization. We do not need to
manufacture enthusiasm among our people.
The nominations themselves have spontan-
eously excited sufficient enthusiasm. We have
hopes of carrying the State strong enough to
call out all the energies of our party. We
shall at any rate deserve success, but, as have
said before, the contest is too close, as it now
stands to justify either Republicans or Demo
Gratis in claiming positively the narrow margin
of voters which makes majority in Ohio"
