reasons in lengthy letter why he pro-
poses to support Hancock and English.
Hon. Hora.io King, ex.postmaster
general, supported Hayes in 1876, and
will take thestump for Hancock in 1880.
And still they come.
One of the most sagacious politicians
in the country is John w. Fornev who
says Hancock will be elected. This is
one ofthe predictions that no man need
be ashamed to paste in his hat
The Hon. j. X. Jcnness, ex-mayor of
Haverhill, in this state, and for several
years one of the most prominent and
best workers in the republican party in
Haverhill, is out for the winning ticket

/ am not in politics. but Gen. Han

Gen. Devens said, on the morning of
the nomination, that he feared tho

lilo is such u magnetic fellow" said
tho general with his brilliant war rec
ord, that fear he will draw largely on

declares himself for Hancock and Eng
lish. Mr. Caverly has been lifelong
republican, but he believes there should
be change in the administration of
public atlnirS, and That Hancock is just
the man To inaugurate the necessary
reforms.
1t is tho great merit of the democrat
| ic platform that it says something; that
it proposes reforms to which those who

ously strikes at monopolists, subsidy
mongers and jobbeS. -NetO York Her
