The Ticket.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS OF THE STATE
AND PENINSULA PRESS.


Our ticke. is one that will win. The
head of it is man who never swerved
from duty. Al soldier, the bravest of
the brave. As an American, a steadfast
friend of the Union who gave his blood
to preserve it, and earned by the splen-
dor of his courage the admiration of
those who sought TO undo it. On the
few occasions when he could display it.,
he has exhibited knowledge of law,
equity and Justice that might have hon
ored those who spent their lives In the
courts. Against him the powder that
the Republicans have laid up will be
burned In vain. The bloody shirt must
be put away. The cry of a new REBEL
ion falls powerless. His record, made
manly OH the field and in the camp, lays
him open to no charges such as have
blIghted the fair fame of most promi-
nent Americans. What man that loves
his country and longs for its welfare will
hesitate TO honor the name of Hancock {?
Cecil Democrat. Iif +
This is decidedly strong ticket, and
one that with proper management, will
reasonably assure the success of the Dem
ocratic Notwithstanding, Md, Cour
ier, Ind. -.t..4.
Of Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock no
harm can be said. He is brave, mod
est, intelligent and virtuous citizen, at
least as far as the public is informed and
OIL account of bis personal character no
contest can arise. He commanded q
corps of The United States army during
the war, stood faithfully by his Govern
ment, gave it the hest service Of which
he was capable, and has never by word
or deed countenanced rebels or the re-
belliOn of 1850! How such man can
be an acceptable candidate for party
composed largely of late rebels and their
sympathizers, Is one of the singular po-
litlcal facts OF the day. 1t shows, indeed,
how little principal, and the right and
wrong of things have to do with the po-
liticaI men, or parties of this day.-Mil-
ford News, Greenback.
OF course many people, especially
Delawareans, would have preferred the
nomination of Senator Bayard, but all
must admit that Hancock on account OF
his record as a soldier will be much
stronger In those Northern States which
II is absolutely necessary the Democrats
should carry to win success. He Is not
tho statesman that Bayard is and has
had but little experience in civil govern
ment, but he Is invincible on the score of
patriotism and is man of such strong
common sense and well-tried executive
ability that be should make his own
State debatable political ground this
Fall and stand good show Of carrying
New York, Connecticut, New jersey
and Indiana.-Georgetown Inquirer,
Rep.
While we preferred Mr.. Bayard We
heartily endorse the nomination of Gen.
Hancock, and recognize him to be a
candidate the representative of no fac
tion, and one alike acceptable to the
North and the South. Under his
leadership the Democrats will be ena-
bled to make naggressive war against
the corruption ofthe Republican party
and their untold violations of constitu-
tional liberty. His nomination is pc
culiarly satisfactory to the South and
will insure solid South for the Demo-
Gratis, while the North accept him as
the only man whose nomination gives
assurance that Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and In
diana will give him majority in No
vember.-SusseG Journal.
Thousands of independent voters
and the thinking masses of the Demo
cratic party are disappointed at the re-
lection of Mr.. Bayard as nominee for
the Presidency, although General Han
cock is a good candidate and probably
was considered the strongest candidate
by the President-makers. Milf ford

1t is very pleasant thing to see the
Democracy so willing to take up such
a man. 1t is an evidence that the
principles of the Republican party are
right and should be the ruling power
in the country.-Easton Gazette, Rep.
The Democratic party has repudi-
ated Tilden, and thrown away the is
sue of frand. 1t has dismissed Bay
ard, and proclaimed that it has no use
for craftsmanship. 1t has passed by
and Thurman and Payne, and
discarded the idea of vigorous civil
And after spending years
in deriding the Man on Horseback, af-
ter constantly denouncing military
and government and per-
reviling the defender of the
Union, it stultifies itself, and failing
in every other effort, seeks at last to
into power under the
name and shield of a soldier.-Leaoes

The ticket is an excellent one, aud
v III command the undived support not
onIy of Democrats and conservative,
but of moderate men of all parties.
General Hancock is exceedingly popular
N the South, and Of the III votes he re-
,eived on the first ballot, all except bl
we're given him Southern States. He is
\ soldier of brilliant reputation, and
wi hile discharging the delicate and diff
,ult duties of Civil Administrator during
reconstruction period in the south he
won the affe ctiOn and respect of the en-
ire Southern people. Kent News.l
We feel sure that the convention has
not blundered, and that its nominees

Their nomination appears to have
been the choice Of the convention, and
they will doubtless make strong candi-
iates. Though they were not our fret
Dh olce, still we believe 1t Is strong
ticket; and 1t is by no means improba-
ble that 1t may be elected In November
