Sammy'J. Shelved at Last
Gen. Hancock Nominated'on Il
Hard Money Platform.
English, of Indiana, for Vice
President.

The democracy after two days session.
met on Thursday morning and nomi-
mated Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock for
president,
The excitement during the last few
minutes of the ballot was intense. The
scheme Whereby New York sought to
foist upon the convention the name of
Randall. of Pennsylvania. was quickly
detected as a conspiracy of the Tilden
manipulators and movement tas at
once made to combine upon some
strong man. 1t was apparent at once
that Hancock was the only candidate
upon whom a successful concentration
could be made. When Wisconsin led
off the break for Hancock there was
TREMENDOUS CHEERING.
Hasty consultations among other
delegations. one state after another
changed. indescribable confusion ensued
chairman after chairman of the various
delegations rose upon his feet and for
awhile vainly sought to be heard. The
solid coming over Of New York settled
the business.
The final ballot stood: Hancock 7O5,
Bavard , Hendricks 30. Tilden l.
W. H. English. of Indiana, was then
unanimously elected as candidate for
vice pre- sident.

DEMOCRATIC BLOW OUT.
How the Democrats Ratified their
Ticket and Waved the b. :.
Across the Chasm.

Thursday niulIt the democracy en-
Unused. The crowd-minus the Re.
publicans drawn out through curiosity
was of but moderate dimensions. such
as would naturally be attracted by a
bonfire and brass band.
Boxes and barrels which had been
boarded up far Tilden. for months
were freely rolled out till pile sufficient
for big bonfire wac accumulated
This was the work Of tie inevitable
boy who always fourishes on such oc.
casions with outregard to politics.
At an early hour the anvil was I
going and the match applied. Still fol
lowing II the pattern laid down by the
republicans a procession was formed
and paraded around the streets, with
more flags than has graced a democrat
ic celebration since 1860. Good.
THE SPEECHES.
Returning to the bonfire after the
swing around the circle Dr.. \. H. John
was called out and responded molly.
The doctor was eqral to the occasion
and favored the crowd with one of his
old republican speeches adapted to the
new phrase Of affairs.
In the course of his remarks he said
that General Hancock was patriot
and one of the ts,c democrats who stood
by his country, and fought in the hour
of peril and helped crush out the rebel
lion.
Jas. Ellison in response to calls
mounted the box. and responded in a
short speech in which he said the civil
was superior to the military service.
and then gracefully stepped down.
Al Woods, candidate for secretary
Of state. was loudly called for and said
he could not disregard the urgent call
of his friends, and IF course endorsed
the ticket.
Hon. Jas. NJ. DeFrance then in
answer to calls appeared and gave in
his surrender to the union soldier, said
that Hancock had not been fairly treat
ed during the war. and that the demo-
crazy proposed to vindicate him.
Ringo was loudly called for. as also
was Judge Ellison, but remained invisi-
be.
After which the boys took a hand
and played at political speech making
much to their own satisfaction and the
amusement of the crowd.
We congratulate the democracy on
their boom and wish them much joy
with their ticket. They have at last
come to see.treason is odious, and rebels
must take back seat. Shake.
