The nomination of Hancock at Cincinnati
was a shrewd bid for the soldier votes.
MANY boys who wore the blue were captiva-
ted by the brilliant uniform and war record OF
Hancock. They did not see the spirit that
crouched behind the mask, and so some OF
the veterans went off after strange gods.
Among the rest was Gorham S. johnson OF
Hallowell, a former republican. He an
noupced that he should follow the clover leaf
of the democratic nominee. Mr. johnson
was loudly proclaimed as a Hancock recruit
