other Northern State was put in such ex-
treme peril and terror as Pennsylvania,
and the sense Of Gen. Hancock's services
made an abiding impression on the whole
OF the body Of its inhabitants in Pennsyl-
yania. None name him but to praise, and
the Democratic hope OF carrying the State
for him does not seem so wild and unwar-
ranted as it would with a different candi-
date.
A Leading Pittsburgh Republican
who Has Come Out for Hancock.
PITTSBURGH, July 10. Considerable
CONSERVATION has been created here among
Republicans by the announcement that
Gen. Alfred L. Pearson had announced
that he would support Hancock for Presi-
dent. In a conversation with him to-day
Pearson said to me in reply to the ques-
ton "Are you for Hancock, General 2"
Undoubtedly l am" adding: al will,
in a day or two, send a letter to q. s..
Grant, Chairman of the National Commit
tee of the Veterans Union, Boys in Blue,
Withdrawing from that organization. I
am the member from this State, and have
been for years. i shall set forth in that
letter that 1 expect to support Hancock,
and as the Veterans Union is a Republi-
can organization, l cannot consistently
hold the position"
Pearson has for years been a Republican
leader here. At present he is Chairman of
the Republican City Committee of Pitts
burgh. He was a Brigadier General dur
ing the war, and served with distinction.
He also commanded the troops here dur
ing the riots. He has held several offices,
among them that of District Attorney,
being elected by the Republicans. He will
take the stump for Hancock in a few days.
A great meeting Of Democrats was held
tonight at Greensburg, West Moreland
County, to ratify the nominations. A SEN
sation was created by the appearance Of
Gen. Pearson, who made a rousing speech
in favor Of Hancock. He said he felt con-
fident that Hancock would be elected and
would also carry Pennsylvania. He was
satisfied that all the old soldiers of the
Keystone State would vote for a man who
was both a soldier and a statesman, and
who had never dirtied his hands with any
pavement job or Credit Mobilier scandal.
Active Campaign Work.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Democratic
Congressional Committee will begin active
campaign work about the 18th of this
month. The Committee will establish
headquarters here, and send documents
into every Congressional District. The
facilities for direct communication with
the prominent Democrats and independent
Republicans in each Congressional Dis
trict have never been so good as at the
present time. Garfield's connection with
the Credit Mobilier and the De Golyer
pavement scandals will be scattered broad
cast, and voters will be enabled to Judge
from the records of Congress of the real
character of the Republican candidate for
President.
Republicans Going FOL Hancock.
HARRISBURG, July 10.-Thirty-two Sena-
torial Districts were represented at the
meeting of the Democratic State Commit
tee. The best of feeling prevailed, and the
most encouraging accounts were given OF
the Democratic prospects from every dis
trict represented. The news was to the
effect that the Cincinnati nominations have
thoroughly united the Democrats, and pro-
duced unprecedented enthusiasm in the
party. Some of the members Of the Com
mittee reported that many Republicans had
declared their intention to vote for Han
cock.
