What the Leading Newspapers of the
Country Have to Say.
The st. Louis Republican, after paying
Gen. Hancock very high compliment
as man and a soldier, says: The ticket
is built to run and to win. 1t unites all
elements of popularity, all elements OF
success.
The St. Louis Times says: If the Con-
vention had deliberated week. it could
not have made a stronger ticket, al ADLER
one or one more acceptable to the party
and the mass Of tho people.
The New York Herald SAYS that it is an
undoubted and very great benefit to the
country that the nomination of Hancock
makes impossible blo0dy-shirt CAM
paign. That between Garfield and Han
cock voters may choose freely and safely
best policy, and with no fear of the Un-
ion or that any mans rights in the coun-
try will be endangered by Ehe election Of
either.
The New York Times says "that it ape
culiarly constituted party which sends
rebel Brigadiers to Congress because Of
their rebellion. and which nominates a
Union General as it's candidate for
President of the United States because Of
his loyalty" It considers the ticket
very commonplace.
The New York World warmly culo-
gizes Hancock for his military career
and statesman-like conduct during the
war, and welcomes the nomination as a
means of reuniting as firmly as if never
separated the States of this Union.
The New York Journcl OF Commerce
highly eulogizes Hancock, and srYs: "a
polished and cultured gentleman. A
brave and successful soldier An up
right and honest man. lie is without
stain and above reproach. Fit to sit in
the chair of Washington, and to repre-
sent the American people to the Mon
archs and statesmen Of the world.''
The New York Tribune says: SIN the
hour of excitement and passion another
Democratic Convention has missed all
chances OF victory. Eager to bury Til.
denism and escape the nomination Of
Tilden. which seemed at CINCINNATI, as
here, to be as it would have been fatal,
the Convention went with a rush to the
first candidate who appeared to have the
lead. Men who calculated coolly what
the Convention must do in order to sue
ceed, and expected That the Convention
also would calculate coolly, were SUR
prised by it's action. Hancock, it de-
clares, Will not prove as strong candi-
