Their first Democratic Vote.

The hccdd gives the names of seven
New York Republicans who called on
Hancock To assure him of their support
They declared that, with one exception,
none of their number had ever voted
Democratic ticket before.
The Paducah Mars says three ar four
pronounced Republicans of that city
have announced their intention to vote
Hancock and English.
Udchtcr ON Erie, the leading Ger
man Republican organ of Northern
Ohio, published at Cleveland, has come
out for Hancock.
The Nc,c Fra, of New York city,
having earnestly advocated the nomin-
alton of Gen. Grant at Chicago, has
espoused the candidacy of Gen. Hancock.
In the progress of noteworthy editor
ial, in its edition of Saturday last, the

ain nominating Gen. Hancock, the
Democrats have presented for the suf-
frages of the American people the name
of man who has the universal respect
of his countrymen, and one for whom

IL his speech at Hawesville, Monday
of last week, Maj. Joseph Haycraft,
candidate for Commonwealth Attorn-
ey, publicly and distinctly announced
in Il speech in the courthouse that he
would not be bound by the result of the
primaries of last Saturday, but would
be candidate up To the first Monday
in August. His reason for this extra
ordinary announcement was that Ohio
county had refused To act under the
order of the District Committee. He
Is in error, Ohio county did act, and
polls were opened i'm every precinct in
that county, rs elsewhere in the dis
trict, presided over by regularly ap-
pointed officers. We are of the opinion
that he based his declaration upon the
belief that the verdict of the primaries
would he adverse To his aspirations.
However they may result, after pub
lie declaration of this sort, Mr.. Hay
craft will be an excellent subject for
the Democrats of the Fourth District
TO sit down upon at the polls in August

Ii Is earnestly to be hoped that the
soldiers who choose TO follow the for
tunes Of Gen. Hancock now, as they
did during the war, will not be made to
suffer for il at the hands of those Re.
publicans who have control of official
patronage. There are many who will
condemn such course These veter-
ans are entitled TO quite as much re-
spect as if they chose to vote the Repub.
can ticket. Their services to the coun-
try were just as valuable as if such a
man as Hancock had never won their
affections. Ii is dastardly to take away
from them their bread and butter mere.
ly because they exercise the right OF
free speech. Yet Mr.. George w. Lille,
who enlisted on August 80, 1862, i'm Co
ID, Ninth regiment, New York veteran
Cavalry, and was honorobly discharged
at Winchester, Va, June I, 1865, re.
ceived the following letter, rs appears
by note in the Binghampton Loadcri
from +. l.. Jones, Agent and Warden
of Auburn State Prison, on July l:
AUBURN, n. ", July !, 1ss0.-Geo
Lidie-Sir: Your services will not be
required after July 80, 1850, i'm the Au
burn prison. Respectfully,
+. l.. JONES, Agt. and Warden
Mr.. Lille is Hancock man, and it i,
charged and generally believed thai
this is the sole cause of his discharge
Auburn prison is a political machine
and il is the more easy for that reason
to believe the charge is true. And how
long will it be, at this rate, before tn,
veterans who follow Hancock will bt
accredited with the old rebel yell ant
all the other atrocities? ?
