Governor Mcclellan has written a letter
| to the Hancock Veteran Club IN PIanheld,
n. j.. as follows 81 am very glad, and not
at all surprised, 10 learn that so many Of
your old comrades are going to support
General 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 majority OF them 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 utmost ener-
gy for the success Of our gallant cOmrsde."
II is boastingly claimed by the organs Of
the Readiusters that every county in the
State except Page, and every city eXceDt
Danvilc, was represented in the Convention
that assembled In Richmond on the 9Th in
stant We challenge these papers 10 give
the name Of Il single delegate from the good
old county OF Amherst. We 90 further and
challenge them TO give the names 0f the
delegates who represented LynchbIrg and
Campbell, and To state when and where any
OF them ever had any recognition in the De-
mocratic party or among respectable people
OF any color or dition.-Lynchburg Vir-
ginidn.
We have heard the strongest ReadjuSters
and the most respectable say that there is
but one member OF the party In the county
who favors or will vote for Hancock
ticket put out in opposition to the regular
electors, much less to vote Tor ticket un-
pledged. II this be the result OF "remote-
ness" why let rs remain remote, If we
thought that Il line Of railway. in which we
all are deeply interested, would educate Us
up TO the proper standard to vote for and
affiliate with scalaw9gs, negroes. and black
Republicans. rather than our time-h0nored
party and its patriotic Members IdzeceU

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens addressed
large concourse of people in City Hall Park,
Augusta, Ga, Friday afternoon. He warm
" endorsed the nomination OF General
Hancock, for which he said he had been
working for ten years. and pronounced
Hon. William III. English as true to Demo-
cratic principles as the needle to the pole.
In concluding his speech Mr.. Stephens an
nOunced that il bis constituents desired 1t
he would be willing to serve them another
term in Congress.
According to the Washington correspond
highly encouraged by reports from Indiana
as 10 the campaign in that State. The Re-
pnbicans are just starting upon their
campaign, and there are unmistakabe evil
dences that they intend to use great deal
OF money. The Democrats are united and
aggressive, and Ex-Governor Hendricks
and Senator VOORHEES, send word that the
State is certain TO go Democratic at the Oc-
tobcr election.
Secretary Il. w. Thompson, OF the navy,
delivered a campaign speech at Terre
Haute, Ind, Saturday night. He spoke
chiefly on the southern question, and said
"the right Of every citizen to vote would
be maintained at tho coming election, il
necessary, by all the power OF the Govern
ment, supported, II need be, by the army
and navy" He also commented on Han
cocks southern record, and paid high
tribute to Garfield.
The Lynehburg Vrginian quotes Mr..
Coghil as confident that the regular Demo-
cratic electoral ticket will triumph in Vir-
ginia, and that the National Committee, so
far from helping Malone aud his followers
out Of their troubles, will not show them
any quarter, nor recognize them In any
manner whatever. A square fight and a
vigorous campaign against the Mahoneltes
he believes to be the best policy and the
surest road to victory In November.
Hon. A. NJ. LybrOok, Judge OF the county
Court Of Patrick, passed through DanvilIe
Saturday. the Post says, on his return from
the Readiuster Convention at Richmond.
He IL earnest in deDrecation OF the indie
pendent electoral ticket forced on the Con-
vention by General Malone. and does not
believe that the Readiusters OF his section
will approve or support II.
Let every honest voter ask himself
whether the Siate-debt question has any
thing to do with the presidential and con-
gressionai elections. The men who are
riding the debt hobby to get Office will talk
about nothing else. Are they sincere p

Part OF the Malone county committee OF
