** And the Cry Is Still They Coinc.” Dr. Van S. Septzer, a leading German Republican, of Columbus, Ohio, has declared for the hero of Gettysburg. Gabriel Derrick, a well-known German Republican of Cincinnati, now President of the Board of Aldermen, is out for Hancock. Dr. Conkling, an old resident of Bloomington, Hl., and a Republican since 'the organization of the party, announces that he will support Hancock. Hon. J. S. McOalmont, of Franklin, Venango county, Pa., an eminent Republican lawyer, who was at first inclined to Garfield, lias taken the field for Hancock, and is doing effective service. Col. Noah L. Cochen, a Brooklyn, (N. Y.) veteran, a member of the Thirteenth Ward Brooklyn Association, says the Republican leaders no longer represent Republican principles, that Gen. Hancock proved his devotion to the constitution and the Union during the rebellion ; and William Snedeker, once member of the Union League of Kings county, N. Y., resigns from the Thirteenth Ward Republican Committee, saying that he is for Hancock, who promises that the national constitution and the amendments shall be preserved inviolate. Among other Hancock Republicans the following late arrivals are noted: William A. Reed, Chairman of the Republican Central Committee, Sullivan county, N. Y.; Judge Moeser, Shelbyville, 111., Republican County Judge; S. W. Moulton, Republican Representative in Congress from Illinois in 1864, President of the Board of Education of Illinois, head of the Bureau of Education in the District of Columbia; Col. D. W. . Magraw, of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers; Hon. E. D.

C. Gilman, of Eldora, a leading citizen of Northern lowa, and a life-long Republican; Judge Alexander White, of Texas, whom Hayes wanted to appoint a Federal Judge a year or two ago. Daniel F.

Ketchum, one of the most able and well-known Republican lawyers in Central Illinois, addressed a Democratic meeting in Jacksonville, having announced his purpose to enter the canvass in favor of Hancock and English ; and the Le Mars Liberal, a leading ReEublican paper of Northwestern lowa, as pulled down the Garfield ticket and run up that of Hancock and English. Ben C. Truman, an old Pennsylvania Republican and journalist, now a resident of California, has taken the field for Hancock and English. The Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald of a re. cent date says of the outlook in the Golden State : “We have been reserved thus far, as our readers will bear us witness, in claiming California for the Democracy. This State is just as safe, in the light of the thronging thousands vs Republicans who are coming over to the Democratic standard-bearers, to go for Hancock and English as night is to succeed the day. California has caught the national impulse, and her voice will be heard, in clarion tones, rebuking fraud and pretense. A Democratic majority is assured. Let us, by solid work, make it memorable.”
