POLITICAL POINTERS.

POLlT1CAL VOLUNTEERS.
On the fourth of March, 1881, the Republi
can party Of the United States will begin a
fasting experience, beside which DR.. Tanners
will seem ridiculous.
A club of Republicans who served in the
late civil war; and who will vote for Hancock,
has been organized in San Francisco, and on
the I'd inst. it had membership, of $50, and
new members were joining daily.
At a meeting of the war veterans of Kings
county, New York, Wednesday evening of last
week, for the organization of Hancock veter-
an club, Col. Coler and adjutant Donald Nc
Donald, heretofore acting with the Republic
cans, enrolled their names, and announced
they should work and vote for Hancock.
Rochester, New York, Union: Cyrus Rot-
bins, q one-arm veteran of the gallant 18th: d
leading Republican of the town of Penfield and
Sunday school superintendent, announces
that he will not only support Hancock but that
he will organize club to support him! The
veterans are focking to Hancock's standard"
Pottsville, Pa, Chronicle: "a vote was taken
in a party of Welsh excursionists, returning
from New York to Scranton, a few days since,
which resulted in 65 for Garfield, 48 for Weaver,
and 17S for Hancock. In view of the fact that
Welshmen are nearly all Republicans, this
seems to be a pretty good sized straw to show
which way the political wind is blowing over in
LackawannR."
Figures are the things, thinks the Washing
ton Post, and proceeds to throw them at the
Republicans in this way: 1.-THE national purse
has been in Democratic control for five years.
The Democracy were going to ruin the national
credit by raids on the treasury in the interests
of the South and by vicious legislation. They
have carried their ruinous work so far as to Gu.
per cent. bonds up to LOS"
At Utica, New York, the home Of Roscoe
Oonkling, there is veteran Hancock club,
| composed almost wholly of ex-Republlcans.
Its president is Gen. Grinday, who presided
only last March over the Republican district
convention, which elected Mr. Conkling del
egate to the State convention; and its vice
president is Colonel J. Stewart Lowery, a
brother of Republican ex-senator Lowery, and
himself an old Republican. Gen. Grindlay
| was consul at Kingston, Jamaica, under Grant
and was formerly Republican county clerk il
Oneida county.
Springfield, Mass, Republican: est is not
harsh judgment of Garfield to say he is
tainted" seriously compromised etc., fol
| these are historic facts. His reputation never
| can be as clean as it would have been but fol-
/ these things; never can stand with that of Ed
| munds, for instance, or that of Hancock
| This may be terrible, it may be unjust; but il
| is The injustice of that Nemesis which every
| public life must confront; and which, in ODE.
dience to the law of human nature, ranks the
| suspected and the accused below the unsus-
pected aud the stainless.
R. B. Hayes present attorney general, Gen
| IN, adl NJ &c ! H.
of the Army of the Potomac, spoke of Gen
Hancock as follows: "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 will. You mer
of the second corps who wear your clover lea
with all the pride with which an Irishman
| wears the shamrock; all you men who Tough!
in the left wing that day, do not need me tc
tell you of the fiery inspiration that was
breathed into you by the gallant Hancock
Quiet and calm as that voice sounds today in
this hail. you have heard it when it rang Out
with summons to duty as loud as your OWL
trumpets."
| The assertions from Garfield to Hancock in
Northern New York, is assuming the proper
tions of stampede. The Rochester Union
thus mentions two notable changes. ''Since
recording the fact that Benjamin ullard, OF
Conshohockeo, one of the most successful wool
en- manufacturers in the country, although
hitherto an ardent Republican, has joined the
Hancock forces, we have learned that Nathan
Stein, Of the firm of Stein, Adler & Co., one
of the largest clothing manufacturing firms OF
this city, has done likewise. MIR. Stein has
always been a pronounced and enthusiastic
Republican, never having voted the Demo
cratic ticket in his life. He now, however, de.
clares himself firmly and irrevocably for Han.
cock and English. In the support of such
acknowledgements he sees nothing antagonistic
to his ideas of the principles of free govern
ment. All the other members Of this firm are
| also Hancock men. The business men of the
| country evidently see in the prospect of o
change of political administration the promise
of new era of prosperity"
