WHAT THEY SAY,

mn AhADA ''A~Af
From the lakes to the gull; from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, comes the
cheering intelligence Of adhesions to
our candidate for the presidency. In
every northern state Republicans are
joining our army, without money
and without price" bringing as free
will offering, not only their influence
and votes, but sinews Of war. We
hear of no desertions fIom the Ham
cock and English standard. The on
iy cry Of distress and agony is from
the Republican press, like Rachael
weeping for her children, who, denying
the radical faith, have determined to
dc. honor to the gallant soldier land
upright citizen, Winfield Scott Han
cock. Foi the especial benefit of those
of our Opponents who are shedding
tears of sympathy for the defeated
Asprants at Cincinnati, we can in
form them of the fact that all the gen.
tlemen who were balloted for on that
occasion, have heartily endorsed the
nomination, and some are already do
ing yeoman's service in the campaign
against misrule and fraud. Amongst
the prominent Republicans who have
joined the Democratic host are the
following: Jno w. FOrney, Repub-
lican from the days of Lincoln, says
in his paper, (the Progress 81 cast
of the party shackles. What is the
Republican party to-day? What is
it in Pennsylvania? What in Pitts.
burg! What in Philadelphia? Com
posed of a mass of men who have no
superiors on the face of the earth for
intelligence and integrity, yet willing
ly submitting to the leadership of as
reckless, revengeful and cruel set of
partisans as the shareholders in the
worst days of their tyranny" And
FOrney hopes for "the election OF the
pure and upright Hancock, to save
the state of Pennsylvania from the
corrupt ring that now rules the state"
Mr. Jerome. Of New York, who sub
scribed $4,000 to the Republican
campaign fund at the last election in
his state, says in letter to General
Hancock, che rejoices at his nominal
tiOn. That he belongs to numerous
Republican family, who to a man will
vote for Hancock. * x / am going
TO organize a Hancock club in the
:24th ward. My vanity, just now is to
see the oath ward the banner Hancock
club Of the country. | have received
numerous letters from many Republic
cans of prominence, who declare that
they agree with me absolutely in the
sentiment Of my letter, and that they
will not only vote for him but exert
their influence in his behalf"
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser (Rep.) discourses thus: Zone
thing that our Republican journals |
and orators must understand, and that |
is, there is nothing u be made, but
much to be lost, by throwing mud at |
Gen. Hancock, and attempting to dis
parage his military record. General .
Hancock was 4 loyal man during the
late war, and stands out prominently {,
in history among the distinguished
commanders of the Union armies"
Gen. Pearson, of Pittsburg, Pa,
,memher of the National Union Vete,
ran committee, and chairman Of the
city Republican Executive committee,
having sent in his resignation, says, 81
am indeed for Gen. Hancock, and
will not only vote for him, but do all
j can to induce others to do the same"
Postmaster General Key says,
"Gen. Hancock is the strongest nom,
ination the Democrats could haYe
made Typer, Assistant Postmaster
General says, mo stronger nomina,
tion could have been made"
Major General SlOcum, of Illinois,
has committed q grievous offence
against the Republican party by de-
olaring for Hancock, and saying that
Illinois will repudiate Garfield"

ent Association, after organizing
Hancock and English club. invite the
