The Democratic Nomination.

Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock is the
man chosen By the Cincinusti conyen-
ton as the democratic caAdidate for
President Of the United States.
Among all the candidates before the
convention. Gen. Hancock was, we think
the best. His war record is good, and
if We must have democratic president
(which is rot at all likely there is no
democrat whom we would choose be.
fore Hancock.
He is not the kind Of democrat that
Tildeu, Hendricks, or Dan Voorhies is.
Neither is he a dcmocra: that believes
in the right Of secession. or that mo,irns
over the lost cause. But he believes in
the supremacy of the national govern
ment. and fought CALAMITY for its per-
petuity.
Bat we do not think he Is popular
with the mas of the democratic
party his ideas are too much
like those of republican, in fact he is
almost as much crow as Greeley was.
For two years the brigadiers in cong
ress have been doing what they could to
overturn the results of the war, they
have sneered at its prosecutors, and
orsnly declared that it was a wicked
persecution of patriots and heroes.
Now these same brigadiers and patriots
and heroes are called on to vote for one
who was most earnest in its prosecution.
Yes tits filter crow.
For fifteen years the democratic press
and orators have been calling hlm
murderer. for his part in the trial, con-
viction, and execution of Mrs. Surratt.
Now he is their standard bearer. Yes
the crow is very, very bitter Garfield
himself. would not lse as obnoxious to
the southern masses as he.
General Hancock was born in Mont
gomery county. Pennsylvania, Febru-
airy II. 1S2:. Graduated at West Point
in 1Si4. Was gallant soldier in the
war with Mexico. He was appointed
brigadier general of.volun;eers in.lS6l:
was made maj1r-eenefal in 1862. and
was one of the principal actors in the
battle of Gettysburg. He was candi-
date before the democratic convention
in 1868, but defeated by Seymour. his
highest vote being 14i1@.
He is not the kind of material for a
democratic candidate. is in bad compa-
ny and will be badly beaten.
Mr. English Of Indiana was put on
as Vice president, to secure the vote of
Indiana. He is man but little known
TO history or fame, and will add little !

Tammany and the Democratic Con
ycutiOn.

The Cincinnati convention took the
grand stand that Tammany viii! John
Kelly and Augustus Schell at It's
head, had no rights which il was bound
TO respect. and pnceremonioualy kicked
them out. The Tammanyites made a
desperate fight but they were in the
minority, and were forced to succumb

thing under all the circum-
stances that the conYention
could do. The Tammanyites are un-
=erupulous, desperate and determined.
and have been a thorn in the side Of the
democratic party for years NJ St.
Louis four years ago they were loud in
their demands and measure. had to be
taken to reconcile them. Last year
they renewed their demands in New

ticket Of their own ard fought earnest
Is thus bringing about the defeat Of
Lucien Robinson the democratic candi-
date for governor Of Ne1 York. Their
strongest and most bitter feeling is
against 1'ilden and they are determined
to defeat him. or any Of his pet schemes
as he has been TO defeat them ana the
action Of the convention in excluding
the Kellyites was victory for Tilden
and his friends in the convention. kcl-
ley and his followers feel the sting and
will he reveneed. They are not the
men to forpiveor 10 take taffy and be
quiet. They are silenced so far as the
convention is concerned but not in the
;:omine electren. The very fact of their
exclusion from representation in the
convention Will insure their opposition
to the ticket. They cannot be induced
to support the nominee Of the body
which offer them suc. an insult
The consequence viii be that if not
arrayed inactive hostility to the ticket,
they will let it go by default. In either
case insuring its defeat in New York.
Without the 10000 Tammany votes
democrats can not hope to carry that
state. and without New York there is
not a shadow of hope for them 10 elect
the president. so the democratic party
might just as well be prepared for an
other defeat in November for it is sure
to come.
