united, and in this contest it is united. Like
one man it has rallied to the standard Of
Hancock. John Kelley and Tilden and Dor
sheimer and Fox and Tammany halland
Irving hall have all united and sounded
the slogan to their clans, and from highlands
and from lowlands, from every loch and
brae will they come in November like the
leaves of the forest, in hit and tarltun, and
with claymore to do battle under
their leaders for the gallant cheftain whose
cause they have espoused. And not only are
the democrats standing shoulder to shoulder
in serried ranks and unbroken front, but
many distinguished republicans have pro-
claimed for Hancock, and have carried with
them hundreds and hundreds of followers
each. There is no doubt of New York.
But with New York..he will still lack twelve
votes. Where is he get them? Let us look
and see. Oh, yes There is New jersey,
with her nine votes. New Jersey went for
Tilden in 1876, and has elected democratic
Mcclellan governor two terms. The
gallant Randolph and the noble
Mcclellan guarantee New Jersey. The
people of that state remember Gettysburg.
The sound of The guns that Numbered from
Cametery@iidgo and the heights that sur
rousded fingers in their ears yet. They re.
member that Hancock WAS there. They re-
member that Hancocks genius, Hancock's
proves stopped the onward march of the
confederates on that memorable day. They
remember that Hancock ind bis corps hurled
back the egons OF Lee and wrung victory
from defeat and saved Pennsylvania and
New Jersey from invasion saved. the homes,
and the property, and the lives of thousands.
Thoy.remenber how he barred his bosom to the
storm of battle .at that fearful time and how
no poured out his blood on hatfield to save
New jersey and Penn.y lvania from invasion,
and as the dragons teeth sowed by Csdmus
brought forth from tho ground an armed
host to do battle for him, so will the blood
shed at Getty sburg by Hancock bring forth
a host OF grateful patriots in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania to do battle for him at
tho ballot-box on Tuesday next. New
Jersey will give him her nine votes on the Cd
proximo. And still he will lack three
votes. But there is Connecticut. English
is at the front in the gallant nutmeg state,
and lends the host Ms democratic nominee
for governor. He and Senator Eaton, and
Senator Barnum, chairman of the democrat
ic national executive committee, pledge the
state for Hancock and with Connecticuts
six votes, he has enough and three to spare.
And California is to hear from. This state
on the Pacific slope with IFS six votes W, mt
for Hayes in 1876 by less than 1000 votes,
and it may safely be counted for Hancock
next Tuesday. The reasons for this are that
Hancock is personally popular in the state
having been stationed there number of
years aud having endesred himself to the
people. Furthermore, the democratic plat
form is more in harmony with the sent.
mcnts of the people of that state on the
Chin so question than is the republ.
can platform, and still further, Mr.. Garfield
voted against the Chinese bill which passed
congress, and when il was vetoed by Mr.
Hayes, voted to sustain the veto, which in
cen.ed against him the people of California
And to cap the climax, Mr. Garfield letter on
the Chinese question written to H. l. Morey
of Lynn, Massachusetts,, in January last
wherein he favors filling the.country with Chi

tho Pacific coast. Mr.. Garfield denies hav-
ing written the letter, but the original in his
handwriting, with the envelope post-marked
at Washington City, has been litogrsphed,
and special train left New York city Fri
day, for the Pacific coast, with million
copies of this letter. Mr.. Garfield denies
having written it, but then in the credit
mobilier case, he swore he had not received
any credit mobiler stock, when no had re-
ceived ii, and had also been paid dividend
on it as was positively proven on him. A
man who would swear TO what was not true,
would not hesitate to tell that which was un.

have nine votes more than they need. But
there is Indiana, TO hear from on Tuesday.
She went republican this month, but all the
indications arc that tho state will 60 for
Hancock, and if it does he will then
have twenty-four votes, moro than
he needs. Pennsylvania and Illinois it is
probable will go for Garfield, but there is
possibility that they will give their electoral
vote to Hancock and English, especially
Pennsylvania. If fraud ca Il be prevented on
