PHILADELPHIA, July 2S.-A pri-
vate soldier of Hancock's corps, at
Greenville, Pa, having been reques-
ted to organize Hancock club, re-
sponded as follows:
81. Clair MillhoHand. 3455 Walnut
Street, PhilodelDhia, Pa:
DEAR SIR Yours of the 18th is
at hand, asking for my co operation
and assistance" with view IT, or
ganizing "Hancock Club" in this
place. / am compelled to state that
there has been club already formed
in the town-immediately after news
from Chicago was received. 1t was
organized though as a Garfield"
club, and all old soldiers OF this
place, with one or two exceptions,
belong to it. was in Hancock's
corps lthe 2dl and served from Aug.
IL. 1862, until May 81, 1S65,and have
an honorable discharge, but at this
date don { pro 0p1sa to- have my share
OF fighting 90 for naugIlt. II is not
Hancock personally that / object to.
but it is the party thai nominated
him.
You also say that it is appropriate
that the "great soldier of Gettysburg,
who shed his blood upon our soil in
defense of his native State, should
receive our support" Very true !;
still thousands more beside Hancock
''shed their blood" and, / doubt not,
many greater than he.
AS | said before, am sorry that |
can gather no material vote of SOL
diers in this place out of which to
organize Hancock club. They train
in the other crowd, There are sev.
eral here who are loud mouthed
Hancock men, mot soldiersl some of
whom during the war called Han
COCKS corps "Lincoln's hirelings,"
and who, when the draft was about
to be made, shipped fer Canada. And
there are others who said of me when
in the Andersonville prison pen. that
"0ught to starve to DEATH" Can ]
so far forget myself as to vote for the
party which for four years tried to
dissolve our Union? No! Hancock
is good as general, but he trains
with a very bad crowd.
If my memory serves me right /
think you were colonel of a regiment
in our division, which was the red
club. | belonged to Co. G, 145th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, and if you
wish 10 know more of me you can
do so by addressing any of the Off
GERS of my regiment.
If / live until fall l shall vote as
shot.
Respectfully yours.

ton. Cool Republicans believe that
they can carry Indiana by hand
some majority, and that the Demo
cratic and Greenback voters cannot
be brought into the dishenerable al
nance which some leaders have pro-
posed.
If we go to November with Re.
publican victories in Maine, Ohio
and Indiana, what will follow New
York and New Jersey are doubtful.
|Eyen if both should by any mis-
chance be carried by Democrats they
gould not gain the needed forty
|seven votes, losing Indiana, Connec-
|ticut and California. Connecticuta and
california, essentially Republican
States on National issues, are said by
Republicans of the coolest judgment
TO be safe beyond peradventure.

should give handsome maiorifies.
But those same previous victories
will turn to the Republican side a
large doubling vote III New York and
New Jersey, will show the Green
back men the folly of helping Dem
ocrats to succeed, and will enkindle
the enthusiasm of the Republicans
for the final struggle. AT this hour,
three months before the election, we
believe that it is decidedly probable,
for the first time since the war, that
every Northern State will vote for
the Republican candidates.
No account is here made of the
probability that the Republican par
ty may carry one or more Southern
States. "A fair vote and an honest
count" will be needed, and that, it is
needless to say, the Republicans will
not get at Democratic hands if there
is prospect that solid South can
elect to the Presidency the ally of the
White Leagues in 1868.-Ne,0 York

The following is Gen. Garfield's
charming speech at Syracuse, New
York, when on his way to New York
city;
EelJ0W- citizens: When I was here
two years ago you were busy debat-
ing the question whether you could
force the hard times out of Syracuse
with printing presses and fiat money.
But after deliberation you concluded
20 work your way, out, to walk by
the old road on which the guideboard
stands whereon God wrote "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread" You followed that road about
year longer and it brought you out
to the high summit of prosperity
which smiles and shines all over this
great land of ours, and it smiles all
the brighter because you deserve it
by keeping faith and maintaining the
truth of the multiplication table in
your financial doctrine. Applause. !
congratulate you that the same
multiplication table that believed in
two years ago in the darkness is true
to. day when the sunlight of prosper.
ity fails upon the land. Great APPS
plause. / congratulate you that you
never went back on it. but believed
it all the time, and that you are glad
to-day that you stuck to the truth
when it was doubted and denied, |
thank you tor coming here and let
ting me look in your faces again and
will not detain you by a speech
Long continued cheers.

The dissatisfaction ofIndiana Dem
ocrats with their candidate for COVER
nor seems to be increasing. The New
Albany Ledger, the principal Demo-.
cratic journal in the southern part of
the State, says: "Why not bounce
Landers from the Democratic ticket ?
lie will probably get bounced very
high by Porter in October" This is
a fair sample of the political aspect
out there as related by gentlemen
who pass through Washington. Tho
latest intelligence is that Hon. VIM.
Fleming, one of the present state
officers of Indiana, and Democratic
High Priest of the strong Democratic
county of Allen, has stated recently
that Indiana will go Republican by
10000 or $4,000, and that it will not
be safe for ''the boys" to oct other
wise. AS there are some distinguish.
ed representatives of the Indiana
Democracy now said to be in Jail for
assisting in fraudulent voting in In
dian, it is thought that the success of
the Democracy this fall in that State
will not be as great as in 1876, when.
it is estimated, they polled $4,000
fraudulent votes.

The Irish Soldiers for Garfield.

AT a recent meeting of the Irish.
American Republican Association of
New York, Gen. Dennis f. Burke
spoke of the political situation as
follows:
Nineteen years ago the Democrats
organized the rebellion, and It was
my privilege to aid in its SUPPRESS.

majority when for four and half
years he killed all the rebels he
could In Virginia. There never was
rebel who was not a Democrat. It
won't do for the Democrats to try
and cover up their sins. Their ais.
cradle record of twenty years is
known. The Democracy is marked
with corruption, treason and every
thing that is foul in politics. The
election of the Democratic ticket
would mean the opening of all the
old war issues, the disturbance of the
financial system Of the country, and
the consequent disruption of busi-,
ness interests. l telieve that the
American Nation is possessed with
common sense, and that the people
VIII show that they do not desire a
change in the Administration by
electing the Republican candidates
in next NoYember.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-08-14

Why do English and Hancock
both feel called upon to assure the
country that .hey will stand by the
Constitution There was no need of
such pledge from the Republican
candidates. The reason is obvious.
If Hancock receives the necessary 1856
votes to elect him, 1873 of them will
come from the South, and will be
given through the violation of the
Constitutional Amendments which
which give the negro his rights as a
freeman. Hancock can take his seat
only because of broken and despis-
ed Constitution-only through the
success of principles which Wade
Hampton assures the South are the
"same as those for which Lee and
Jackson fought for four years" The
South will come into the next Con-
gress with at least 80 of the 30 seats,
which were assigned to it because Of
its negro vote, stolen for the Demo.
cratic party. How is Hancock going
to keep the Constitution ,'inviOlate"
on that question? Will he recon-,
mend, if he. is elected, that those
seats be declared vacant through
fraud? =?

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 4, 1880.
TO the Editor Of the Pittsburgh Tele-
graph:
During my stay of few days in
your city l haye frequently heard
Democrats boast that they will elect
their man; next, that they will carry
New York; that Pennsylvania is
doubtful, etc. AS [ intended to risk
something on the result, l will make
the following wager, and hope some
of the "unterrifit d" will take me up.
First, 1 will bet 81, 900 that Penn
sylvania will give Garfield 10000
majority.
Second, $4,000 that New York will
give Garfield 5000 majority.
Third, $4,000 that Garfield will be
elected.
These amounts can be raised if de-
sired. These bets must be taken by
one Individual, or by one Individual
representing party-that is. there
must be only two representatives to
the transaction-myself and the ta.
ker.

The newly organized Irish. Ameri-
can Republican Association in New
York is starting well with its work.
Similar associations have been form
ed in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Syracuse,
Albany and Troy, and agents have
been sent out to start Others in every
State. Flattering reports Of progress
are being daily received at head
quarters. The Secretary says that
"the idea is new, and has already
become popular with the Irishmen.
Before the cry was that there were no
Irish Republicans; but we find that
there are Irish Republicans, many of
them, and they are good, sound Re
publicans, too"

Southern Congressional Districts.

Mr.. Horr. of Michigan, in a plain,
common sense way called attention
to this subject in his speech of June
/:
"Why, then, wonder that business
men all over the country are tired of
your methods and disgusted with your
management. And just think this is
done in the name Of fair elections, by
a party that has seated members here
by the dozen, many of whose consti-
tuents dared not go to the polls.
Have you ever examined the returns
as shown by the Congressional Direc-
tory? Look at them and you will
discover many curious facts. For
example, you will find that there are
three members who hold seat in
this House from Districts whose en-
tire vote did not aggregate 5000
each there are five members where
the entire vote was less than 4 200
each. and eight members where it
was less than 5000 in each district.
Just think for moment of such an
election. Why, sir, there are eleven
members here whose entire districts
don't cast as many votes as were polled
in the one district represented by my
friend Mr.. Anderson. from Kansas.
Indeed the young State of Kansas
alone, with its three representatives
cast just about as many votes as the
old States of Alabama and MisSis-
sippi, with their fourteen members
and the new State of Michigan cast
more votes than the three States of
Alabama. Mississippi and Georgia
combined. We have nine members;
they have twenty three.
Thus / might 60 on repeating
figures, but / have given enough for
my purpose Talk about free and fair
elections! / would like to ask what
has become of the voters i'm those
districts. Why were they not at the
polls? If there was no reign of terror,
no intimidation down there, why did
they not vote? What allied them ?
DO YOU tell me there was no contest
that want of interest in the result
caused such apathy? What gave
them this lack of interest ? How
came it about that they so suddenly
ceased.to care for the result think
Esop tells us in one of his fables
that once upon time the animals
had an election. Suppose they were
to do 80 again. and it was agreed
that all the animals in this country,
wild and domestic, should have u
free and fair ballot. Then suppose
in one precinct you should locate the
polling place in den of wolves !;
how many lambs think you would
attend that election? Cannot you
see how suddenly they would all lose
their interest in politics ? Or sup
pose another voting place was located
in a Jungle of grizzly bears how
many cows and oxen, think you.
would go there to vote? DO you not
think all the cattle thereabouts would
lose their interest in the result? Then
suppose you were to ask the wolves
and the bears whether they had a
quiet election in those precincts or
not. How demure and how wise
they would look as they informed
you that there was not the least dis
turbance in the world that the quiet
was almost painful. Still, do you
not think that the meager returns
from those precincts would be suft1-
cient evidence that the animals in
that vicinity were not all represen-
ted ?"

ABRAM AND MELCHIzEDEK.
GENERAL STATEMENT.


Five years have passed by since the separa-
ton of Abram and Lot. The patriarch still
dwells near Hebron, at peace with his neigh
bors, ana in communion with his Friend.
mis nephew has drawn nearer still 10 Sodom'
and at last taken up his residence within its
walls, where ungodliness and crime riot un-
restrained. The cities of the plain, after a
period of subiection to ruler beyond the
Euphrates, have cast off his yoke. He sum-
mons his subject princes and wave of war
suddenly rolls up the valley of the Jordan
from the south; the insurrecton is quelled.
the cities of the plain are pilaged, and their
inhabitants, except such as escape to the
mountains, are carried away as the slaves Of
the conquerors. The victorious army, laden
with spoils, begin their march bomewartl.
But word has reached Abraham, in his tent
at Hebron, that his nephew Lot and all his,
family have been carried captive by the
marauders, and at once he undertakes his
rescue. He calls together his own trusty
servants, and the followers of the Canaanite
chiefs near his camp; they follow in the
track of the invaders, and at night fall Upon
their ungarded camp. The foes are discom-
fitted, the booty regained, and Lot and his
family are set free. On the return, Abram
and Ills band passed the little city of Salem on
the heights of Zion. whose king, the holy
priest Melchizdek, comes forth to meet them
with refreshment for the host and blessing
upon its leader. Abram pays honor TO his
priestIy rank by a gift ofone tenth of the
spoil won from the enemy. Then appears the
king of Sodonl, fearful lest his people have
only exchanged their slavery to one con-
queror for that of another. He proposes that
Abram shall retain all the spoils of Sodom,
and merely let its people go free. The gener-
Gus patriarch disdains to receive any reward
for his services, and insists upon restoringall
that the foes have captured. both persons and
property, unwilling that his deed shall be
sullied by one touch of selfish purpose,
