HOratiO King on the Nomination.

To The Editor Of the Sunday Her0ld:
SIR: In your last Sundays issue you did
me the honor 10 copy from the New York EreRiny
Post letter Of mine giving three leading why
! was gratihed by Gen. Garfield S nomination. Hav
ing thus frankly expressed myself with regard to the
Republican ticket, closed by saying that 1t looked
as though the opposition would defeat that ticket
should ''they have the wisdom to put able, unObiec
tionabe candidates in the held.'' ON the eve Of
leaving the city, Will you allow me to say that think
the Cincinnati Convention, In the selection Of Han
cock and English, has fully met this requirement.
Indeed with the excellent list Of candidates placed In
nomination, 1t was hardly possible to make any mis-
take. Now, let have q fair, higlI-minded, and
honorable contest and God prosper the right! Yours
truly, HORATIO king.

HANCOCK is but puppet. As soldier he
has been a success as a statesman he would prove an
utter failure. He has qualifications for the highest
office In the gift of the people. Bred To the camp, he
would be a nonentity and tool in the hands of
his party.-Ndtioadi Republican.
Our neighbor's memory is Short else it
would remember that Hancock has n far
better record of fitness for civil administra-
ton than Grant had in 1865. Grant had
never produced anything which evinced
such a knowledge of the Constitution and
the rights of the citizen as are shown in
Hancock's order No. 40 and letter to Gov
ernor Pease.

HOWARD CARROLL wanted to be a prophet
at Cincinnati, and, after the first ballot lifted
up his voice to the New York Times as fol-
lows:
So far as the outside public can judge from what
appears upon the surface Gen. Hancock Is beyond
all question the strongest candidate before the Com
vention. Yet there is not wel-informed politician
here who will for moment admit that Gen. Han
cock nomination is even among the possibilities 1t
is true that he has led all his competitors the one
ballot which taken still II Is no exaggeion TO
state that Of all the candidates named Gen. Hancock
is regarded as the most unlikely to receive the
nomination.

THE Water Department seems striving to
make up for the exorbitant price it charges
for the fluid by furnishing it with exceeding
richness-thick and slab. The wonder is
that such fine alluvial mud manages to flow
through the pipes at all. lawn watered
with it needs no other manure than this
beautiful solution. Left standing in "A
pitcher for while, it throws down precipi-
tate of solid marsh matter, ellie, vibriones,
and other things with hard names, muck
and miscellaneous trash that is a caution to
teetotaers. Why the eprocess of settling can
not take place in proper reservoirs up the
river instead of in consumers stomachs no
one has been able to explain.
