the .st stump-speakers in the State. He
now publishes his purpose to vote for Gem
eral Hancock saying:
The Democratic party, by IL leaders and I'm its
platform, has, since 1868 opposed all the forms
of monopoly, Capitalization and military des-
potism Except that IL has in some instances
ignored the money question:, and its platform
is not now what would wish it, Yet, at the
present time, the only opportunity can see
to check the progress of Republican party and
not indirectly assist 1t IN It's success, is offered
by the Democratic organization.
In the nomination Of General Hancock
recognize the opportunity to forever heal all
sectional wounds, and render permanent the
fruits of peace by elevating to the Presidency
one of the noblest of Union soldiers, and one
whose love for civil liberty, as shown in his
order OF November 20, 1867, and other declara-
tions OF q similar character, is q sufficient

manifested throughout the proceedings. fine
hickory po,e, ninety-hve feet high, was raised
without accident. Mr.. Theodore Eek, for
mer Republican, but now an enthusiastic
Democrat, managed the work. assisted by
Thomas Robuck, Jefferson Debolt and other
prominent Democrats. The pole was
furnished by Mr.. John Walton, of
st. Omer, who hauled it in at his
own expense. An elegant flag, ten by eighteen
feet in size, was contributed by Mr.. John

ers in this vicinity. Altogether, this was a
day long to be remembered, and the spirit
manifested justifes us in saying that no ticket
could have been presented that would suit the
Democrats hereabouts better than Hancock
aud English. They will undoubtedly receive
largely increased majority in this County.
