THE most serious charge against
Gen. Hancock comes from the Urbana
(O.) Citizen. 1t is this she is suspected
Of having voted for as many Republican
as Democratic candidates for the Presl
dency." When a Republican paper
that is well acquainted with the frauds
and thefts, that have marked the Re-
publican administration, says that
Hancock is suspected Of having voted
for as many Republican as Democratic
candidates for the Presidency" it Is
really a serious charge. If he cast
those votes after he knew the character
ofthe Republican party, it is charge
that should be immediately investiga-
ted, for If we want pure and honest
government, it must not even have an
odor Of the Republican party about il.
