| While the republicans all over the
country are making all possible capital
out Of the conversion of single green
hacker in this state to their faith, the
leading republicans who ayow them
selves in favor Of Hancock are count
less. One of the latest is the Hon. +.
Joy Morris, Of Philadelphia, Lincolns
minister to Constantinople, who de-
clares for Hancock, and says: "Of
Gen. Hancock's patriotism and loyalty
to the union there can be as little ques-
ton as of his civil abilities and his Off
cial and private integrity. His honor
is rs unassailable as his valor. If he
should be elected president, | have no
doubt he would endeavor to promote
the best interests of the country, to re-
vivo good feeling between The north
and the south, and in every contingency
to uphold the dignity and rights Of the
republic. His statesman record would
be as honorable as his military career.
/ am republican, but that is no rea-
son why / should refuse to recognize
J the illustrious services and the we'll
earned fame of man like Gen. Han
cock"
1t is also announced that the Hon.
5. w. Mouton, n former republican
member of congress from Illinois, and
Judge Moeser, republican county judge,
astonished the republicans of Shelby
vile, H., last week, by openly declar-
ing for Hancock and English. A friend
of Mr.. Moulton, says: "Ex-Congress-
man Moulton has been one of the
strongest pillars of the republican party
in Illinois since its formation. lie was
n Massachusetts man and settled in II
linois in 1916. From 1852 to 1859, he
was in the legislature of Illinois. He is
the author of the present school system
of the state, and was president of the
board Of education from 1859 to 1864,
when he was elected to congress, where
he served with distinction"
The Philadelphia Record, which GER
tainly cannot be charged with over
much sympathy with the Hancock
movement, has the following:
Benjamin Bullock, Esq, one Of the largest and
most successful wooden manufacturers in the coun-
try, who has hitherto been one Of tho warncst
strongest, and most highly respected republicans
in the state, has declared himself for the demo-
cratic candidate. A Hancock flag waves over his
factories at Conshohocken, and largo one, now
being made, will soon DO uniodcd to the breeze
from pole on his residence. II is understood that
Mr.. Bullock has said lie would give 81 600 toward
the campaign in his own county montgomery
and that he will also contribute his share toward
the general fund. Mr.. Bullock was warm friend
of llartrantt whom no aided with his influence.
During the war Mr.. Bullock became well known
for his individual lbcrality and contributions for
49,
Lincoln and Grant among his personal friends
aud ns n politician, ns well ms n manufacturer, he
has always held high reputation.
The Shreveport, La, Standard con.
tains an extract from ~ private letter
to u friend in that city from Col. Geo
Williamson, declining his nomination
from that, the fourth congressional dis
trict, for congress, renouncing his al
legiance to the republican party and
declaring his intention to support Ham
cock Col. Williamson is one Of the
most prominent and influential rcpub-
leans in the state, and was minister to
Central America under Grants admin
istration. lie says:
II have made up my mind to decline the re-
publican nomination for congress, to support
Hancock, and To sever forever hope, my con
reasons for 50 doing may be mndo public when
| return humr. The principle one is TINT | beev'
Hancock, better than any other man except
Grant can bring about real rcconstruc-
ton. lilo represents the magnnnimity of the
north that wish bygoncs to be bygones, and
that really long for pence and good will between
the two sections Garfield, on the contrary, re-
presents the politician element Of the north that
lives upon the pHSt glnricS IN northern Sc 't0nal-
ism whilo it dcnounccs yet fosters and lives upon
southern Seetionalism.
Gen Patrick III. Jones, one of the
most gallant soldiers of the late war,
and II prominent and influential repub-
lican of New York since the establish
ment OF peace, has Abandoned Garfield
and come out for Hancock and tho Gin
cinnati platform in the following letter:
SIN In reply to your letter nquring whether
Gen. Hancock will have my support in the poltl-
cal campaign now pending, will say that | have
been So long cstrangcd from tho councils OF the
democratic party thnt my views may not be fully
IN accordance with tito notions Of some, except 50
far ~ the sentiments and principles of that party
are oannciatcd through the Cincinnati platform,
md illustrated by the prhlic life of the eminent
gentlemen who have been placed IN
nomination for president and vice
president In common with the great body q.
citizens of the country | approve and endore
both the platform and the candidates. Of late
years il has been the custom TO disregard the pro
visions of the party platform on the accession Of
II candidate Office. but believe that the gallant
and intelligent gentleman who heads the demo-
cratic ticket and who never yet dsobcyed an or
der, will carry out the excellent provisions of his
party platform. IL elected, rs he undoubtedly
| will be, shall have the utmost faith that his
administration will recognize the distinction
between the civil and military authorities
| of the government viii adjust ana
| establish the relations properly cN-
| istng between thcm will restore far rs lies in
| his power the old tmo commercial prosperity Of
the republic and win protect the pthlr domain
from the grasp Of corporations and schcmcrs re-
| serving il for the use Of actual settlers.
Hoping and believing in the success Of thcprn-
cpes that have been fought for three times in tho
field aud upon the floor Of every congress in thu
! history 1t the country, | am, sir,
Yours very respectfully,
PATRICK II. JONES.
