TIcKE7.
Though Mr.. Bayard's failure at Gin
cinnati was keenly felt by many DEM
ocrats of Wilmington, the disappoint-
ment did not blind their eyes to the
fact that the Convention had nomina-
ted just about the strongest ticket that
could have been selected-and one
that will not only be triumphantly
elected, but inaugurated.
Convention news was waited for
with feverish impatience all of yester-
day morning, and the GAzETTE's
specials were the first that arrived con-
tanning definite information in relation
to the probable action of the Conven-
tion. Succeeding kilograms came
thick and fast in advance of any other
sources, and the great crowd that filled
the GAZETTE Office and the pavement
in front knew long before IL o'clock
that Hancock would be nominated on
the second ballot, then being taken.
The rapid changes of State after State
to Hancock were announced almost
as soon as they were made, and prompt
bulletins kept the waiting public in
formed of the progress of events until
buo tOR Cul lOho VI bhC oh1hA n
appeared upon the streets.
. HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
From the first the nomination of
Hancock was received with favor, and
in about three hours the Jefferson
Club, Of which Mr.. Bayard is a mem
Der, had large flag hanging from the
front window of the Club rooms, at
Seventh and Market streets, bearing
the names of the nominees. The Club
. also had large transparency all ready
for whoever might be nominated, aud
by evening it was suitably inscribed,
showing to the passing public, by the
aid of brilliant gas jet, the names of
that most invincible ticket just nomi-
nated at Cincinnati-"For President,
w. 8. Hancock For Vice President,
W. H. English"
This prompt action is in encouraging
contrast to the action of the Whining
ton Republicans. who thus far have
taken no more notice of their nomina-
tions than to hold a little club room
ratification meeting, and organize two
negro and one white campaign clubs.
They are sick already of their nomina-
tions, while the Democrats are full OF
enthusiasm.
CONTEMPLATING HANCOCK.
General Hancock, at Governors Is
land, New York, received congratula-
tory kilograms from all parts of the
country, and among others from Sena-
tor Bayard and the GAZETTE. To the
