CINCINNATI, Ohio,

We are in a whirlpool of excite
ment, and what with playing bands,
Democratic clubs on their way to
Music Hall, the human tide unceas-
insly flowing, the beer shops, beer
gardens, the women, and hundred
other distractions to occupy attention,
it is next to impossible to write any
connected or intclligible account Ct
our doiugs either as to our impressions
of Cincinnati or of the trip since
leaving Greenville. We propose to
do this after oar return. Suffice it to
say that our treatment all along the
journey has been one of large hoSpi.
tally and kind attention. To the
Cincinnati Southern are the Press in
debtcd for 4 liberality which We
dreamed not Of. This company have
treated US in most prlncely style,
but of that and all else we must wait
to i later day to express. This is the
big day Of the convention, Hancock
has just received the nomination, and
joy is unbounded but it is useless to
write anything Of this, as ere our let-
ter reaches the reader every one will
be acquainted with all the particulars
by telegraph. We simply write this
brief and hurried note to let our friends
know that We are having royal time,
if we are crowded in close quarters,
and that We shall draw from our notes
at q more convenient opportunity.
Gov. Simpson and Gen. Hagood have
been with US from the beginning, and
have, like all of US, enjoyed the occa-
sion with zest. Excuse brevity.

Our Washington Letter.
WAsHINGToN, D. c., }
June 23d. 1880.


Writing on the second day of the
Cincinnati Convention, and before any
ballot is taken, it is possible to say
that everything so far has been done
decently in order, and that Il deter
mination has been shown to select not
only safe but an entirely proper man
as the Democratic candidate. The un-
Fortunate difficulty in New York has
been treated in the only way possible
the Tammany men, by practically
unanimous vote. being excluded from
participation in the proceedings. The
two-thirds rule is retained. The unit
rule, significant of control by the
Democracy of each State, will be ad-
hered to. The committees are we'll
made up. The fraud of 1876 is kept
we'll to the front in all that is said.
All this is eninently proper, as we'll
as judic!ous. If, as there is every
reason to hope, the same discretion
should be shown in the further pro-
ceedings of the convention, the cam,
paign of 1880 will open most au-
spiciously for the Democracy, and end
in victory.
To- day will doubtless decide who is
to lead the glorious old party to vic
tory next fall. Speculation is useless,
hence will not enter upon it.

The Woman's Rights women
made themselves as conspicuous as
possible at both Chicago and Gin.
cinnati. Susan B. Anthony and
other females of the strong.minded
order were allowed to appear before
the committee on resolutions and
argue their cause. Circulars were
distributed through the hall Of the
Convention by the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association signed
by Mrs. Gage as President, Susan
B. Anthony as Vice-Presldent, Mrs.
Spencer, Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. Sheldon, Recording Secretary,
Mrs. Jane Spoford, Treasurer, and
a Vice President from each State IN
the Union. This circular demanded
the recognition of woman's rights
and asked for the insertion of a
plank in the Democratic platform
in favor of woman suffrage. OF
course, they did notsucceed. What
these women need is not a plank,
but shingle-properly applied.

The choice of South Carolina was
Bayard. We thought he would
make q better run than any ether
man. There was one objection to
his availability-the celebrated Do
ver speech, in which he advocated
the policy of allowing the Southern
States to withdraw peaceably from
the Union. He is looked upon as
a sort of Southern man; and the
fact that he was the almost unani-
NOUS choice of the Southern dele
gates would have given strength to
this view. His candidacy would
have raised the sectional issue !;
and when this issue is involved the
Democracy always suffers. To Han
cock there can be no objection. He
was a ':war Democrat, was a dis
tinguished officer in the Federal
Army, and has a clean record in
every particular. He is from Penn
sylvania, but as Commander of the
Eastern Division Of the Army his
headquarters has been in New
York for several years, and he is
essentially a New Yorker, and can
carry that State.

The Next President.

Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock
was born in Pennsylvania in 1924.
He graduated at West Point with
Gen. Grant, Gen. Mcclellan, Gen.
Burnside and other distinguished
men, in 1914. He entered the army
as Second Lieutenant. He served
with distinguished gallantry in the
Mexican War. In the Florida War,
1857, and in several Indian cam
paigns, be bore a conspicuous part.
In the late War between the States
he was one of the best fighters, if
not the best, in the Federal Army.
After the War Hancock became a
a strenuous advocate of the subor-
dination of the military power to
the civil. Since 1872 he has been
in command of the Military Divi-
sion of the Atlantic, composed of
the Departments of the Lakes, of
the East and Of Washington, with
headquarters at New York.
The next Vice President, VIM. II.
English, was born in Indiana in
1922. He is said to be the strong
est man in his own State except
Hendricks. His war record is good ;
he is man of considerable ability.
and will add materially to the
strength of the ticket.
