their places OF meeting and march to the
hail. where they will be addressed by promi-
nent speakers. Much good feeling prevails
over the nominations, and at the Democratic
headquarters the expression is that the
choice is the most available that could have
been made. It is admitted that possibly some
hsndle may be made of Hancock's connec-
ton with the Surratt business, but the belief
is expressed that it will have but trifling eff
feet Great confidence is expressed in the
ability of the party to carry New York by
virtue of the position assumed by John Kelly,
and it is claimed that Pennsylvania must
also be added to the list Of doubtful States.
Owing to the general misunderstanding that
the Presidential nominee is English of
Connecticut, that State is also claimed as as
sured to the Democracy. There Is some feel
ing of disappointment manifested by the
friends of Tilden and Thurman, but not
enough to exercise any marked influence on
on the campaign. Some ultra chiyalry Dem
ocrats also show a disposition to denouuce
Hancock, and in some cases announce their
determination not to vote for him but on the
whole it may be considered that the ticket
will receive the united support of the party.
WoopLAND.-The nominations of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention give the best
satisfaction to the party here as both Han
cock and English are known to be men whose
public and private characters are above re-
proach and unassaiable. Their Democracy,
too, is unquestioned. Republicans can say
nothing derogatory. but attempt to have a lit.
tie fun over the failure to nominate Tilden
Steps will be taken to ratify the nominations
at once.
STOCKTON Democrats express them
selves elated over the nomination of Hancock
and English Judge Terry is especially joy
Gus. There has been no public manifesto
ton, except firing off three bombs in Hunter
square by Mr.. Thrift, Chairman of the DEM
ocratic County Committee. No flags are fly
ing. The Democrats hold ratification meet
ing Saturday night. Most of the Repub-
hcans would have preferred some other nomi-
nee, as being easier to defeat.
STocKroN.-At 2 o'clock the Democracy
started in to fire salute in honor of the NOM
ination of Hancock.
-Telegraphic announcement this
morning of the nomination of Hancock, as
the Democratic candidate for President, was
a surprise to the Republicans as well as
Democrats in Oakland, and fell like wet
blanket on the latter on account OF this feel
ing of humiliation at the fact that the nomi-
nation was n denier resort, a confession of
weakness, and that its ratification by the
Democrats of the country at large could not
be expected or relied upon. They feel that
the Bourbon Democracy cannot swallow this
pill, and that the Pacific coast Democrats
will spew it out of their mouths. With any
other nomination it would have been hard to
carry this coast With ibis leading Democrats
At fNr Tho IlarT,npranu Ia almost
a foregone conclusion. This is the feeling at
headquarters, but their determination is to
make a shrewd and bitter fight, and to die
only in 1.-THE last ditch" This afternoon,
