The Democratic party never did
mole wise and satisfactory act since its

earnest Of future action by the South.

Gen. Hancock is q clean man, person.
4ally and~xofasallE; loyal man and
brave, and Of marked ability He is
Democrat without the intermixure of
isms; one of the old school, and if elec'.
ed will administer the G ,vernment upon
Democratic principles He is not dark
horse, but 1t is believed he will unite the
party perfectly and give his old compan-
ion in arms and 10 peace, Gen. Garfield,
close contest. We are glad that the
Democrats have nominated so good.true
and loyal man. II is pledge Of the
loyalty of the party to the Constitution
as it is, and will elevate the canvas. into
a contest of principles, rather than de
grading it to mud-thro wing and the wav-
ing Of the "bloody shirt" "a
(Binghamton Republican, Rep, June 25)
Gen. Hancock was q gallant Unirn
soldier during the late war OF the rebel
lion, and his record as an off .er and as
man is good one. We have naught
to say against it; on the contrary, we
congratulate the Democracy for having
made so good nomination. We believe
Gen. Hancock is not only patriotic
American citiz,n, but an honest, well
meaning man. As such it is our purpose
to treat him throughout the campaign.
Albany Times, DEM. June IS. 'se3
In Utica H ,nc,ck G ub was formed

came to the front and accepted the Pres

81 never went into any movement with
greater pleasure than this one for the

US the chance TO vote for such q man.--c
His election is foregone conclusion !
He was elected as soon as he was nomi-
mated. He will give US superb soldier
President. He will receive the votes of
the blue and the gray, His utterances
during the war showed him to be q
statesman. Those who served under him
will be glad to rally to his support"
There are many Republicans in Abs
ny who concur with Gen. Grindlay.
Utica Morning Herald tReps, June 30
We deem it a most fortunate thing
for the nation and It's politics thst the
Democratic party has selected Prss;-
dental candidate who is personally wor-
thy to wear the highest honors within
the gift Of the American people.
(Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.), June 9s)
A number OF the party organs that
protested against the "nud-tbrowing"
stvle o: election canvass when General
GaIfield was the subject, have already
begun to spatter their little daub,s over
General Hancock. These gentlemen
may as we'll understand at once that
nothing is to be made for General Gar
field by that style OF warfare.
Philadelphia Inquirer Rep, June 90.
Before General Hancock was nomipa.
ted it was not supposed that the Repub-
licans would be obliged to make a seri.
Gus contest for the electoral VT. Of
Pennsylvania, but his nomination rem
ders it incumbent upon them to enter
upon a most active and aggressive CAM
paign in this State, in certain populous
portions Of which General Hancock has
a great personal popularity. II .he party |
be thoroughly united, and the campaign |
be vigorously prosecuted here, General
Hancock, even in the character of
"favorite son." will have no chance
whatever to carry Pennsylvania, but 9th
erwise be might have some slight chance,
and it will be only wise for the Repuhl-
cans to leave him no chance whatever.
Providence Press (Ind.l, June 25.l
The nomination of General Hancock,
and his enthusiastic support by all wings,
sections and classes OF the Democracy,
mark progress in the right direction. II
is alike confession that the war is over
forever, and that the officers of the Un-
ion army are now properly acknowledge
ed and honored for their gallant and
loyal services by the Democratic party.
Heretofore The Democracy has been too
much divided in sentiment upon that vi
tai issue, and The Republican party has
carried the.country because the country
is loyal to tue Constitution, the .Union,
and sustains uEquestioned the great war
measures and men. From henceforth
It's End generous rival in the Oemoc-
racv, rallying around one of the best
aud most earnest Of all the Union SOL
diers. We are more glad of this new
condition of things than we can well ex-
press. The nomination. OF General
Hancock gives the public the rest from
anxiety so very much needed.
(Altoona tPa.) Tribune (Rep.), June 25l
The Democracy when they met in Gin,
cinnati fully realized the political situa-
tion, and their actions partook more Of
the nature OF consultation than intense
devotion to the fortunes of any one OF
the great number Of Presidential aspi-
rants. Hence the unanimous nomina.
tion of General Winfield Scott Hancock
on the second ballot. The Democrats
haye certainly displayed wisdom in their
choice, ss he is the most available man
they could have placed in the field. He
is great soldier, and has rendered his
country faithful, heroic and magnificent
services in the hour Of her greatest need.
i His record is clean and brilliant, and he
will have to be fought solely as the rep.
