Resolved, That the democracy of Mont
gomery county unanimously and enthusi-
aStically rntify the nomination OF Gen. w.
=. Hancock and W. II. English as candi-
dates for president and vice-president, and
pledge themselves to its solid support with
out a misgiVing as to its final triumph next
November.
We are not sure that anybody
seconded this resolution, for the ac-
clamation followed with such an
instantaneous yell as to set aside all
formalities.
The adjournment was equally in
formal, ana followed in obedience
to an imperiOus demand of the ami
mai system for sustenance rather
than to any formal motion that we
heard. The meeting was harmoni-
Gus and enthusiastic beyond our
powers of description.

GEN. HANCOCK was several times
elected President Of the Society of
the Army of the Potomac, and at
one of the reunions Gen. Charles De-
Yens, of Massachusetts,, the present
Acknowledgement of the United
States, was foolish enough TO use the
following words in speaking Of
the action of this "puppet" at Get
tysburg: "Of the other great COM
mander who that day led the whole
left wing of the army you do not
need that / should speak. You
know that Pennsylvania well.
You men of the Second Corps, who
wear your clover leaves with all
the pride with which the Irishman
wears the shamrock all you men
who fought on the left that day do
not need me to tell you Of the fiery
inspiration that was breathed into
you by the gallant Hancock. Gap
plause.) Quiet and calm as that
voice sounds to-day in this hall, you
have heard it when il rang out with
a summons to duty as loud as the
tones of your own trumpets.''' And
yet who is now called "mere mill
itary puppet. "-iSdDdllnCth NelCS.

Mcclellan and Hancock.

Gen. Mcclellan has written the
following letter to a Hancock Vete-
ran Club in Plainfield:
ORANGE, N. j., June 3d. am
very glad to-day and not at all sur
prised to learn that so many of your
old comrades are going to support
Gen. Hancock. The General did so
much to insure the success of the
war, knew so well what it was for
and perceived so clearly when it
was over, that he deserves the
hearty and enthusiastic assistance
of all the old soldiers. That he will
receive the support of the great ma
jority of them l do not doubt. /
trust that the minority in this state
will be too small to be counted, and
that we shall all work with the ut
most energy for the success of our
gallant comrade. With my cordial
greeting to my old companions in
arms, and my best wishes for the
complete success of the organization,
! am sincerely yours,
GEO. b. MCCLELLAN.

Another of HancOcIE's Old Soldiers.
Ever since his nomination, Gen.
Hancock has been receiving con-
gratulatory letters from the soldiers
of the second corps pledging their
fidelity to him in the presidential
campaign. The following is a copy
of Il letter he recently received, and
is only sample of the hundreds
brought by every mail:
SPRINGFIELD, o., June %, 1880.
Maj. -Gen. w. S. Hancock: Dear
Sir-I take the liberty of writing to
you, as am one of the old soldiers
belonging to your second army
eorps, second division, third brig
ade, Fourth Ohio Volunteers Gar

address you. My first vote / cast
when in your command in front of
Petersburg, Va. / voted for Abra-
ham Lincoln. / have voted for
every republican candidate from
that day to this. have had your
photograph IN my album for six
teen years, and as soon as you re-
ceived the nomination / said |
would never go back on my old
commander. | will support you
with all my heart, hoping you may
pull through, as you often did in
the days of 1868 and 1864, and that
you may do as we'll as we did on
the morning of May II, 1864, at
Spottsylvania courthouse: Garry

There is burden of care in get
ting riches-fear in keeping them,
temptation i'm using them, guilt in
abusing them, sorrow in losing
them, and a burden of account at
last to be given up concerning them.
And yet we never saw the man who
was not willing to bear all these bur-
bens and take all the risks for the
sake Of riches.

A SINKING SHIP.

1t is said that rats desert a sinking
ship. This is true, but first the Off
GERS and men debark in an orderly
way in the boats. That is the case
with the republican ship at this
time. We might fill our paper with
instances of eminent republican
politicians who cannot stomach Gar
field and are "falling in under Han
cocks lead" We have already
mentioned Forney, Curtis, Pearson,
Dougherty, Leonard, and here is
more from the correspondent of the
New York Herald:
A correspondent sent this bit of news to
the New York Herald: ain passing through
Philadelphia your correspondent met with
Col. John w. Forney, who was seated in the
editorial sanctum OF the Press newspaper,
surrounded by vast pile of books and alb
solutely up to his eyes in business. He was
in his shiTt-sleeves and writing away for
dear life. The question as to his opinion OF
Hancock started him right off in "a vigorous
eulogy of that distinguished soldier, and he
gave your correspondent the following
names of republicans who have declared
themselves in favor of the democratic cam
didate: John Jay Smith, the historian j.
l.. Wingwald, General Hoffman of the Loyal
Legion; stephen WinslOw, of the CONNER
cial List; William Stewart, merci ant; Chas.
WistaT, leading republican and man of
wealth in Germantown George Bollock of
ConShOhOcken, Montgomery county, a lead
ing manufacturer in the state; Rev. DIR.
Morgan, Baptist clergyman of great prom
inence; Mr.. Bennett, OF Tower Hill, and Mr..
Charles j. Peterson, the well-known pub
Usher.
The rats. are still on board, rabid
with rage and fear, crashing their
teeth and biting at one another and
ateveryone within theirreach. Their
time will soon come. When the
old water-logged craft gives her last
lurch before laundering, then in
deed there will be a stampede, and
the surface will be alive with strug-
Cling vermin. Some, doubtless, will
escape and find holes to hide them
selves in, and when again they
come into the daylight, what good
democrats they will be. Why, GER
tainly, democratic rats from the
day of their birth.

Gambetta's Opportunity.

Gambetta leaped into fame in Paris
by single lucky speech. He had no
social position to bring him into no.
tice, nor friends in high position to Sc
cure advancement. His radical Repub.
licau painciples closed to him oil ave
nues to public life under Louis Napo-
leon. But Jules Favre, the great Re-
publican advocate, having heard the
young orator talking to groups of peo-
pie at the cafes, had been impress id by
his bold bearing and brilliant utter
ances.
Favre had an important political case
at the courts, having been retained to
defend some Republican editors prose.
cEted by Napoleon's government. On
the day of trial he was taken sick, and
unable to plead, he sent for Gambetta
to undertake the case. The unknown
youth recognized his great opportunity,
and showed himself equal to the emer-
gency.
The courts were the only places
where Republicans could enjoy perfect
freedom of speech, and on the next day
all Paris was talking about the daring
and eloquent attack on the Imperial
Government by this young advocate.
ALI who heard him were electrified by
his boldness and power. His reputa-
ton was made by the single speech.

Innocence, my boy, is not always or

Always chanting through the darknsss
