WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.
From the Hon. William M. Springer
of Illinois.-"A loss Of 10000 In Maine
TO the Republicans is equal to loss of
35, 900 in Massachusetts,, 1901 in New
York, $4,000 in Pennsylvania, 5000 in
Ohio, and $4,000 in Illinois. Hence, II
there is anything in relative losses, we
may reasonably expect, as the result of
tie November election, not only solid
South, but also solid North, for Han
cock and English"
From Judge Hoadly of Cincinnati
sour candidates are men of clean lives
aud clean records. The necessity of the
hour for administrative reform is press
ing, and in them we have the promise of
its achievement"
From the Hon. George FL. Pendleton
of Ohio.-"The union of the Democratic
party in New York, the harmony Of all
its parts, gives the llveliest satisfaction
to the friends of Union civil liberty, free
elections, fair counts, and peaceful inau-
guratiOns. These all are assured by
Hancock's election. He, more than any
one man, preserved the Union at Gett-
ysburg and civil liberty in Louisiana"
From Senator David Davis Of Illinois.

regret not being able to give = more salts
| factory reply to your Invitation OF the
| 9th inst. Uongratulating you on the res
toration of harmony in New York, aud
the victory in Maine, and with thanks

New Jersey.-'The South has been
made SOLID by the simple processes Of
Federal coercion and carpet-bag gov
eminent, and 1t will remain solid just 80
long 8. they fear return of the evils
which SO long afflicted them. Remove
that apprehe nsion by the election OF a
Democratic President, andfthen, but not
until then, will Southern men begin to
separate according to their individual
opinions and interests, and tho solid
South will caase to exist.
Gas to the absurd assertions In regard
70 the recognition Of the Confederate
debt, IL is only necessary to say that Its
payment Is prohibited by the Constitu
ton, which can only be changed In due
form, and that there is not the slightest
reason to believe that any human being
North or South desires the change to be
made. 1t would be quite as reasonable
to accuse the Democratic party OF In.
tending to adopt.the principles Of Nor
mondom or Of Mohammedanism. With
the States of New York, Indiana, Con-
Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and In
ali probability Ohio and New Hamp-
shire, and other N orthern States on the
Democratic eide, 1t must be confessed
that the apprehension Of undue influence
on the part of the late Confederate
States borders upon the ridiculous.
