The Democratic party, to pre-
serve the country from the hor-
rors of a civil war, submitted for
the time, in the firm and patriotic
belief that the people would pun
ish this crime in 1880. This du-
ty prrcedes and dwarfs every
other; it inspires more sacred
duty upon the people of heUnion
than ever addressed the conscien-
ces Of a nation of frecmen.
The resolution of Samuel j.
Tilden to not again be candi-
date for the exalted position to
which he was elected by a ma
jority of his countrymen, and
from which he was excluded by
the leaders Of the Republican
party, is received by the Demo-
Gratis Of the United States with
deep scnsibility, and they declare
their confidence in his wisdom,
and integrity mistaken by the
assaults Of the common enemy,
and they further assure him that
he is followed into the retirement
he has chosen for himself by the
sympathy and respect Of his fell
low citizens, who regard him as
one who, by elevating the stand
ard Of his public morality, and
adjoining and purifying the pub
lie service, merits the lasting
gratitude of his country and his
party. aa
Free ships and a living chance
for American commerce upon
the seas and on the land, no dls-
elimination in favor Of Transport
tation lines, corporations or mo-
nopolies, amendment to the Bur-
lingame treaty; no more Chi
nese emigration, except for tray
ell, education and foreign COM
MERGE are therein carefully guar
ded. Public money and public
credit for public purposes solely,
and public land for actual set
tiers.
The Democratic party is the
friend of labor and of the labor
ing man, and pledges itself to
protect him alike against the
colmorants and the commune.
We congratulate the country
upon the honesty and thrift of a
Democratic Congress, which has
reduced the public expenditures
$40, 100000 a year upon the con-
tinuation Of prosperity at home
and national honor abroad, and
above all upon the promise of
such a change in the administra-
ton Of the Government as shall
insure as genuine and lasting re-
fl rm in every department of the
public service.

FOR vICE-PREsIDENT.
OF INDIANA.

On the second ballot, after
corrections, Gen. Winfield S.
Hancock, Of Pennsylvania, was
nominated for President, at IL:
81 a. M, to-day. The following
was the vote-Hancocl5, $50;
Hendricks, 80; Bayard, 2; Til
den, /.
Gen. Hancock has the advan-
tage of an untainted name, OF
the friendship Of potent Eastern
influences, Of favor in the South
and Of no observation-disclosures in
the West. He is n pure man,
with undnestionable popularity,
and no enemies that are known.
He is known as the military
man whose aim and purpose has
been since the war To make the
civil law superior TO military.
He ought TO be elected by Il
slendid majority, and, no doubt,
will be.
VIM. ii. English, the candi-
date for Nice-President, is one
of Indiama's foremost SONS. He
may be said to represent the hard
money Democracy of Iloosier-
doom. He is a thoroughly prac-
teal man, was born III Scott
county, Ind, August q, 1922.
lie received a commOn-schOol
education, and afterward Il clas-
steal one, passing three years at
South Hanover University. He
was admitted to practice law in
1916, but devoted most of his
time to agricultural pursuits. In
1851 he was elected to the State
House Of Representatives, Of
which he was chosen Speaker,
and after served several terms in
Congress. In personal appear
ance he is tall, of commanding
and imposing figure, fully six
feet high, dark, curly hair, full
beard cut close. His appearance
is always geenteel, being what
would be considered a well dress
ed gentleman Of wealth the
world over. His nomination was
a most fortunate and opportUne
one, since it secures the State of
Indiana, as all the Germans are
hard-money men.
With Hancock from the East
and English from the West, the
prospect is indeed a cheering one.
We can afford to make the
canvass on a comparison of can
didates as well as parties and
principles.

National Democratic Platform.

The Democrats Of the United
States, in convention assembled,
declare, first, we pledge ourselves
anew to the constitutional doc
trines and traditions of the Dem
ocratic party as illustrated by
the teaching and example Of a
long line Of Democratic states
men and patriots and embodied
in the platform of the last Ma
tional Convention Of the party.
2. Opposition to centralization-
ism and to that dangerous spirit
of cncroachment which tends to
consolidate the powers Of all the
departments in one, and thus to
create, whatever be the form of
government, a real despotism;
no sumptuary laws, separation
of church and State for the good
of each; common schools foster
ed and defended.
3. Home rule, honest money,
consisting of gold and silver and
paper, convertible coin on de-
mand; strict maintenance ofpub-
lie faith, State and National, and
a tariff for revenue only; the
subordination of the military to
the civil power, and a genuine
and thorough reform of the civil
service; the right to a free bal
lot is a right preservative of all
right, and must and shall be
maintained in all parts of the
United States.
The existing administration is
the representative Of conspiracy
only, and its claim of right to
surround the ballot boxes with
troops and Deputy Marshals to
intimidate and obstruct electors,
and the unprecedented use Of
the veto to maintain its corrupt
and despotic power, insults the
people and imperils their insti-
tutions.
We eXecrate the course Of this
administration in making places
in the civil service a reward for
political crime, and demand a re-
form by statute which shall make
it forever impossible for a defeat
ed candidate to bride his way to
the seat of the usurper by billie
ting villains upon the people.
The great fraud of 1867, by
which upon false count of cleo
toral votes Of two States the
candidate defeated was declared |
TO be President, and for the first
time in American history the
will of the people was set aside
rmder the threat of military vio-
Ience, struck a deadly blow at
our system Representative gov
arnment.

The Surratt Affair.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER. |

On the 9TH Of July, 1865, the
Military Commission appointed
in paragraph four, special orders
No. 211, dated War Department,
Adiutant-General's Office, May
6, 1865, Of which Major-Gene-
raj David Hunter, United States
Volunteers, was President, found
Mrs. Surratt, Lewis Payne, Geo.
a. Atzerodt and David E. Har-
rold guilty of completely in the
assassination plot, and on the
same day Andy johnson, then
President, ordered Major-Gen-
eral w. S. Hancock, then COM
manding Middle Military Divis-
ison, through E. d. Townsend,
Assistant Adjutant-General, to
execute the sentence. On the
9th General Hancock delivered
the death warrant to Major-Gen-
eral Hartranft, who had charge
of the prisoners. Mrs. Surratt
was executed not by General
Hancock, bat by Captain Roth,
assistant Breret-M Marshal, haze
ing immediate charge Of the ee-
ocution, qcho gare tile signal for
the props to be Knocked from
under. General Hancock did
everything he could during the
affair to aid the pardon of Mrs.
Surratt, keeping a line Of mes
sengers posted from the White
House to the Jail in the anxious
expectancy that the President
would show some sign of relent-
ing and at the last moment list
en- to the plcadings of the angel
Of mercy. Judge Wylie grant
ed a writ of habeas corpus on
the application of Mrs. Surratt's
counsel, but Andy johnson sus-
pended the writ, and July z, 1865,
issued TO Major-General Ham
cock the following order:
"ExECUT1vE OFFICE, July Z,
1S65.-To Major General w. S.
Hancock, Commanding, &C.: |,
Andrew johnson, President of
the United States, do hereby de-
clare that the writ of habeas cor
pus has been heretofore suspend
ed in such cases as this, and ]
do hereby specially suspend this
writ, and direct that you pro-
coed to execute the order hereto
fore given upon the judgment
of the Military Commission, and
you will give this order in re-
turn to this writ.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
Hancock took Mrs. Surratt
before the Court. Attorney
General Speed appeared for the
Government, and the Judge and
General Hancock were unable
to do any thing. Thus it appears
that General Hancock, while do
ing his duty as an officer, as
man tried every means in his
power to mitigate the barbarous
order of President Johnson.
President johnson refused to see
Miss Anna Surratt, the daugh-
ter, who was escorted to the
White House by General Han
cock on the day of the execu-
ton, and General Hancock per-
sonally, but unayailingly, inter-
ceded.

The cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Newark, n. j.,
disappeared last week, and an
examination Of the books shows
large liabilities and no assets
discovcrable. The president and
directors were thunderstruck.
The cashier was an estimable
man-rascals of this kind al
ways are-and they had trusted
him implicitly. AS for them
selves, they knew nothing of
the banks affairs, beyond the
statements made to them from
time to.time by the cashier. The
latter officer controlled the insti-
tuition, and managed it to suit
himself. The directors will have
substantial reasons for regret
at this course, for the New Jcr-
sey law in the case is very strict,
and the depositors and stock
holders can recover what they
have lost from the directors.

Garfield, shows to have been a

most venal scandals of that scan

His Louisiana, Career.

General Hancock having been
in 1867 assigned to the Military
District of Louisiana and Tex
as, shortly after he assumed COM
mand, Pease, the carpet-bag
Governor of Texas, requested
him for troops to sustain his u
suiped authority. General Han
cock refused to furnish the
troops, on the ground that the
military was subordinate to civil
authority in time of peace, and
could only be used while he COM
mandcd, TO aid and support it,
but never to subordinate it..
Gen. Hancock dwelt at some
length, in his letter of reply, on
the rights of the States and the
liberties of the people under the
Constitution, insisting ON the
right Of trial by jury, and non-
interference of the military with
civil authority. This letter
aroused the hostile feeling of the
Republican press of the country
who accused him Of being in
sympathy with rebels, and kept
up a continual warfare upon him
until they succeeded, under
Grants administration, in hav-
ing him removed. The gratitude
Of the people of Louisiana and
Texas toward Hancock for re-
lieving them of carpet-bag op-
preston, without doubt, spread
the sentiment that nominated
him as President. Gen. Ham
cock, it Will be remembered, was
Andy Johnson's appointee.

Special Correspondence Of the OBSERVER
WAsHNGTOE, d. c., June "a. 1880.
The second day of the Cincin-
natl Convention did not conclude
its labors, but all that was done
was done decently and in order.
The traditions and fixed rules of
OF the party were adhered to; re-
bellion in New York was rebuk-
ed, and, on the first ballot taken
last evening, a dozen unexcep-
tionable men received votes. The
platform is summarized up as
follows:
1t rcaflirms the platform adop-
ted at St. Louis, and is on its
main features in the line of the
late Pennsylvania resolutions
adopted at the Convention Of
the party few months since,
and from the pen of Black. There
is also q strong anti-Chinese
plank and a resolution in praise
of Tilden and Hendricks, and ar
raignment of the Republican
party for the fraud of 1876. The
financial plank declares for gold
and silver coins and constitutions
al currency convertible into coin.
As well remarked by a dele
gate there are no discussions in
the party upon matters Of prin-
ciple, and the adoption Of any
platform was rather in Difference
to time honored custom than
from any present necessity.
The third day, ] may say,
opened and closed gloriously,
General Winfield S. Hancock
was nominated-the bravest sol
dier and the best lover Of con-
stitutional rights Of the people
that has been made prominent
in orr history for a generation.
All docs not seem to be peace
in the Radical camp. Senator
Cameron delays maccountably
in making his decision as to
whether he will run the machine.
1t is announced that Senator
Conkling refuses to take the
stump unless the famous civil
service order No. / is revoked.
Blaine is willing to speak and
so is Logan, but all their efforts
it is believed now, will be re-
quired in their own States. IN
deed, the anti-Republicans Of
Maine claim a victory this fall
no matter how much canvassing
is done. They have formed {
satisfactory combination boil
on the State and Presidential
tickets.
All the estimates of popula.
ton in the District of Columbia
so far have been too low, the ac'
tual figures being more thai
lT6,5G0, a gain of $4,000, or a
bout 33 per cent. since 1870.

RON Il AGAIN.

Messrs. Drake and Wilder Return but
Don't Tell Much.
Messrs. E. F. Drake, president, and A. n.
Wilder, director of the st. Paul g. Sioux
City railroad, arrived home yesterday noon
from New York city, where they remained to
close up certain details of the negotiations
recently made in that city for the amalgama-
ton of the st. Paul & Sioux City,
Chicago. st. Paul d Minneapolis and
North Wisconsin railroads. The GLOBE has
already given the result in general
terms of those negotiations, their character
being of nature to satisfy our people that
in the arrangements made, st. Paul interests
had been fully preserved. Still there are
many details as to the management. etc.,
that yet remain matters of conjecture and
speculation. In the hope that President
Drake, by the aid of the GLOBE, might be
able to put an end to the speculation, an en-
voy called upon him during the day at his
Office. The envoy was received
with the usual courtesy shown such repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Drake, but to the intro
ductory inquiry he replied that the GLOBE
had already given the public all that could
now be given. The negotiations, he said,
had progressed satisfactorily to the st. Paul
interests, and in few days sll matters would
be fully arranged, when all details of public
Importance could be stated. Till then
the public must possess themselves in pa
tience, satisfied that everything is working
all right for st. Paul's railroad interests.
