The nomination OF General WinheIu
Scott Hancock Is one which furnishes no
weak noints and defies all hostile criticism:
The boldest and most blatant Radical WIZ
never dare TO shake the bloody SHIRT IN tne
face of Hancock, and men who. IKE Blame
and Conkling, shirked the dangers OF ,ne
field. will be slow to attack the recoru Oh
the idolized commander OF the Sixtn Army
Corps. ,uo
THE nomination for Vice President IS also
most fortunate one. Mr.. English IS
tried statesman and one OF the most popu,,
lar men in Ind ana. That Hancock anu
English will carry 1t is morally certain.
Norfolk Landmark
Three times we have supported winfield
6. Hancock for the nominee OF our party.
Hancock is our ideal OF pure and spotless
man. His record in war shines IKE me-
teor, and will blaze till the last Syllable OF
recorded time; but splendid as TINS Il, IL
pales before the heroic magnanmliy OF MS
QuasiIeyil record, when, with vanqulsheo

dust, and spoke to them in tue words OF
sage and patriot.

The positive declination OF Seymour ana
the remuneration OF Tiden so completely
changed the aspect Of affairs that the Demo-
cracy OF the country mad not recovered sur
Hclently to centre upon any one man; put
its representatives at Cincinnati, sacrincing
all personal preferences and curbing every
impulse OF personal ambition, with eau
ton and wisdom seldom displayed by sini-
lar bodies. in striking contrast to the igno-
bic strife and selfish contests OF the Chicago
Convention, have called out the one man
who fills all the requirements.
Nashville Americana
II is said that Republics are ungratefn',
hut the people OF Louisiana and Texas have
cherished the name OF Hancock and fo-
lowed his political fortunes in defeat until
their grateful and gallant persistence mas
probably made him the President OF the
United States. His Louisiana and Texas
letter was not his sole title TO respect ana
honor. His acts were in accord with his
principles.
Petersburg Index and Appeal
The nominee OF the Democratic party Is
most acceptable. 1t embodies all OF the
principles OF the old Wing and Democratic
parties. 1t places in power III elec'ed) a
man OF national repute, both as soldier ana
citizen. II covers all the ground and makes
the sectional animosties OF Garfield sink
into utter silence.
alexandra GaIette.l
Hancock and Engllsh constitute ticket
of which any party might be proud, and with
which, in the existing condition OF Amerl-
can politics, when men, not principles, are
the main things to be considered, no party
could well be defeated. There Is victory in
the very sound OF it.
baltimore Gafete.l
Twenty years have passed away since the
last Democratic President sat in the White
House. On the 4th Of March, 1881, the new
| rfgine will begin, and under the wise ana
pa;riotic administration OF Hancock the land
we love will enter upon new career OF
prosperity and glory.

The nomination is powerful one, and Z
solid South sounds the revelle for the sol
dier-statesman who first proclaimed and
stouty maintained. when the war was over,
that the great principles Of American liberty
are still the lawful inheritance OF this peo-

General Hancock is nothing but galan
soldier; bis military reputation is a hgi
one. but is OF the second rank.
His famous General Order No. 40, which
he issued when appointed military governor
OF the district including Louisiana an(
Texas, is understood to have been writer
for him BY Judge Jere Black.
elected he will be the figure head Of hi
nomination not It's motive force. He ia no
a leader OF public opinion, whose nomination
embodies certain principles Of government
OF which he is the known exponent
but Ia follower OF his party, with
reputation and popularity that are extrane
Gus from civil affairs. His nomination il
the appeal OF the Democratic party to tb,
soldier vote. In is final analysis 1t is no
craftsmanship. but demagogry. As candi
date he is stronger than most OF thos,
named would have been, but he is weake
than either Bayard or Hendricks, or per
haps Payne or Jewett. The aggressivenes
OF his candidacy will be chiefly in Pennsy
. vania, many OF whose Union veterans servet
under him, and with whom he is very popu
lar. IL Is already claimed in his behalf tina
