New Orleans, June M.--The Picayune
says: "Already the nomination Of Hancock
to be president of the United States has been
hailed with rejoicing by millions of men.
wherever the wire reaches tho news has gone.
Wherever the news has gone tho people have
said well donel' Premonitions of victory
are inspired by the magic of tho
great name and lights up the
countenance of every true and faithful
Democrat The boys in blue and the boys
in grey have one leader now; their line
ranches the whole length of the land, and it
cannot be broken. The supremacy of the
civil over the military power, the restoration
of the Union rs 1t was, the maintenance Of
the constitution rs it is, and good will be-
tween the sections, and homo rule every
where are ideas which this nomination repre-
sents."
Much satisfaction Is expressed at the nom
nation of Hancock and English. A salute
was fired. The Bee, Democrat, Picayune
and Times threw their flags to the breeze.
The buildings Of the Bee, Democrat and
Picayune were handsomely illuminated to-
night.
Besides the salute of one hundred guns
fred by the Louisiana Field Artillery this
evening, presidents salute of twenty-one
guns were fired in honor Of Major General
w. S. Hancock by detachment composed
entirely of veteran officers of the Washing
ton Artillery, who encountered that gallant
soldier in so many battles in Virginia and
Pennsylvania during tho late war.
The Democrat says of the nomination OF
Hancock: at could not have been better.
As a leader, he is the man of all men pre-
ferred by Louisiana; the man Of all men who
was needed in this crisis, in the
life of the republic, to rebuks
the selfish and corrupt demagogues
who 80 long lease of power has emboldened
TO attempt the overthrow OF every principle
in constitutional government. With the
name of Winfield Scott Hancock inscribed on
the banner of Democracy, we shall enter into
the great struggle before us with no misgiv-
ings as to the result His pure and unsullied
record challenges and defes criticism, and
his name, which is synonym OF victory,
shines forth as radiant as the sun in contrast
with that of the dishonest candidate
who has been chosen by the opposing party"
The Times says: "While the nomination
of Hancock is not tho strongest that could
have been made from the material at hand,
we feel satisfied that the Cincinnati conven-
ton has done much better in this particular
than did its opposing convention at Chicago.
Whatever objections may be urged against
General Hancock in the great national mud
storm, the name and purity Of his character
and his ability rs an administrative
officer cannot be successfully impeached.
Furthermore in this nomination of good
federal soldier who was true and faithful to
the union, northern war Democrat, 1t is
demonstrated beyond dispute that the solid
South Is not, as its accusers have so persist
entity proclaimed, attempting TO get possess
sion Of the government in order to regain
from the United States treasury what II lost
through the war. The South, by putting for
ward and supporting Hancock, offers con-
vincing proof Of willingness to wipe out
sectional differences, their chosen candidate
being one of the very ablest prosecutors ofthe
war for union"
The Bee, after noticing the unanimity OF the
nominations favorably as compared with
those of the Chicago convention, allude, in
high terms TO the services Of Hancock as q
ctizen and soldier, and considers bis nomina-
ton equivalent TO election. 1t compares his
course in strong contrast to that of Sherman
in Georgia and South. Carolina, andt he She
nandoah. The Bee, ina word, regards him
as one of the old and patriotic school of
Washington and the other fathers ofthe coun-
try. The nomination Of English Is alluded
to as taht of man distinguished as states
man and conservative in his policy.
