4 As to the strength Of the ticket, 1t was
the single purpose of the Democracy as
semblpd in the Cincinnati Convention TO
nominate q strong ticket. They did not
seek leader Of great experience, OF crlti-
cal public service and intellectual brradtb,
but they devoted themselves 10 finding
man with winning qualities. The man
chosen is General Winfield Scott Hancock.

bis name, the imposing presence, charming
manner and personal gallantry OF General
! Scott, no there is reason to believe some
thing of bis inapitude IN affairs other than
military. When Meade submitted to the
discretion OF Hancock whether the decisive
| batil- between the armies OF the Potomac
and North, IN Virginia should be- fought at
Getty sburg. his hne soldiers eye told bin
at a glance where the immortal line should
be dawn. but in the field to which hs has
now ben summoned he would have 10
trust to the judgment Of those who have
had another sort Of education. There Is
no m"rs brilliant military record than that
of Hancock, but it touches
TIE CIVIL POLICY
Only a. a single point, the significance OF
which has had an exaggerated presentation
and illustrates, perhaps, his social suscepti-

Constitution. We have said that the NOM

strong, is that be carries the solid South.

to Hancock. Hancock's personal popular

high places. Neither OHIO nor illinois Is

are the battlrfelds, and the latter by a"3
to2" partizau decision Of the Supreme

an October State. Hanct OK may be more
superb than strong Ia New Yo:k. The

the conduct Of the Convention. Mr.. Bel

den's defeat, were not compensated IN Han
co,,k's victory. It would not be natural for
the thoughtful leaders Of the Democracy
