Those who laugh at the idea of Republicans voting for Hancock should read the resolutions printed below, which were adopted in St. Louis, by a Republican club of sixty-five members, The meeting took place at the corner of Fifth and Myrtle streets, with Edward Crowley in the chair : Whebeas, The Republican party has seen fit to nominate a man for the Presidency in whose integrity we have no confidence, and who we believe has no abiding interest in the welfare of the nation only so far as it can minister to his paltry personal ambition ; and, Whebeas, The Democratic party has placed in nomination for the same office a man of integrity, ability and courage ; therefore be it 1 Resolved, That we, a band of candid Republicans, who believe in adhering to ■ the true principles upon which our republican form of government was founded, have severed our connections with that party governed by rings and cliques, and cheerfully pledge ourselves to support the candidacy of Hancock and English dunng the ensuing campaign and promise to use all honorable means to insure their triumph at the national coming election. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Gen. Hancock, the next President of the United States, to William H. English, the next Vice President.
