WHAT HE HAS TO SAY TO HIS VISITORS.
New YORK, Oct. so.-A number Of veter-
ans called upon Gen. Hancock, and, in the
course Of conversation, Col. Cavahagt re-
marked: 1.-THE course being pursued BY
many Republican manufacturers TO coerce
their employees into voting the Republican
ticket cannot, Ithink, be too strongly depre-
Gated"
II have yet to learn" said Gen. Hancock,
'sof any Democratic, Independent. or other
manufacturer desirous of changing the pres
ent Administration of the Government VINO
has pursued that course The coercion OF
voters affects the manhood Of the people.
and T would wish no coerced votes cast for
HE. If employed men have not The courage
to resist interference with their freedom at
the ballot-box it will not be long before
they are driven to the polls. If any polls
should then exist The ballot-box be
guarded, and the greater the danger
the stronger should be the guard. Liberty is
priceless treasure, gained only through
great trials, and If once lost it can only be
regafned BY trials still greater. The purity
of the baliot-box is. the safeguard OF liberty.
When once secured, it should be the duty OF
every voter to use his best efforts to preserve
that purity"
To deputatlon of the ~
HANCOCK AND ENGLISH CLUB.
composed Of worknen in the Ansonia Clock
Works, Gen. Hancock said:
"If. the South IS solid to-day 1t is simply
solid trying to get in harmony with the rest
Of the Union. We shall find, how solid it Is
after next Tuesday. II the Democratic party
should succeed it will naturally become
divided upon Federal as we'll as local issues,
and so the South will be broken. The col
ored race will side with the sev-
eral factions, each OF which VIII
see that their colored adherents suffer no
obstruction III voting. In this one OF the
hoped-for results of the War will be fully at
tanned. Much OF the prosperity now en-
joyed by the North Is due to the purchases OF
the Southern merchants, who last season
bought goods to an extent unparalleled since
the War. This was due to the great cotton
crop Of the South a!,d to the desire of the
Southern people to claim affiliati0n with the
North, and purchase its manufactured
products, instead Of sending to foreign couf1-
tries for them. thereby creating business for
foreign lines Of steamships. We have now
an opportunity to settle all questions arising
out of the late strife by an exercise OF charity,
goodwill, and brotherly feeling, which 1t is
to the interests Of the Northern people not to
disregard"
THE MEDICAL STUDENTS.

Bellevue Medical College were accorded 3,
