RATIFICATION Naturalization the county
convention adjourned, on Monday, delegates and
spectators adjourned to the Court House yard,
for speech. He briefly but pointedly reviewed
the record of the Republican party, and COM
mended the wisdom of the Democratic party in
nominating Gen. Hancock, who has no weak
places i'm his armor. He is not only gallant
soldier but stands above all Others as states
man. Mr.. Archer thought no public document
ever written in this country could compare with
Gen. HancOck's Order No. 40, which he issued
in Louisiana, in which he declared that the war
was over, civil rights re-established, and that
to civil law. Gen. Hancock's letter had rung
throughout the land. 1t raised him to an emf
ncnce to which no victory in the field could have
entitled him, and had SO endeared him to the
hearts of the people that they will make him
the next President Mr.. Archer closed with an
allusion to Mr.. Stump, who, he said, would be
amongst those who would aid Gen. Hancock in
carrying out Democratic principles

appeared, and with emotion thanked the dele
gates and his friends for their cordial greeting,
pledging himself to do all in his power, if NOM
mated and elected, to advance the prospcrit y
and good of his party and his country He said
that whether nominated or not, he should go
upon the hastings, both at home and elsewhere,
and labor for the election of Hancock and Eng
lsh and whatever congressional ticket may be
nominated.
Mr.. Stump was followed by Messrs. G. w.
Richardson and Jacob II. Plowman, both of
