There are many thousands Of voters in
the North who have been accustomed
to vote the Republican ticket because
they looked at that wave Of the bloody
shirt. These men have now no ex-
cuse for voting against the Democrat
ic ticket. There are many thousands
Of Republican voters IN the country
who love the name Of General Grant.

General Hancock. There are many
thousands Of voters in the country
who deprecate the power Of money in
securing nominations and elections.
They are unwilling that money should
be monarch. Hancock Is the money

The Washington Post; The work
intrusiel to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton has been performed. The result
is before the country, and the ringing
shout Of glad approval that has gone
up from every locality TO which
the news Of the nomination Of
Hancock and English penetrated, at
tests that the delegates acquitted
themselves of the high duty with
which they we're charged in such a
manner as leaves nothing to regret.
The stampede To Hancock, which re-
suited in the overwhelming majority
given him on the first ballot of yes
terday, and the Undesirable onthusi-
ann with which State after State
rushed TO the standard Of that heroic
leader, may he accepted as a fore
shadowing Of events that will soon
transpire on a larger stage. The
soldiers OF the Union, the men who
fought under the old flag in the war
Of the rebellion, will rally TO Hancock
with the same impetuosity that mark
ed the sudden, wild, uncomfortable
wave that swept the delegations into
the Hancock Column at Cincinnati.
Happily it is for the Democratic
party. fortunate it is for the people of
the United States, that the delegates
at Cincinnati made SO wise a decision. "

OF the war. lie is a firm believer in
the venerable Democratic financial
policy, only recently adopted by the
Republicans. His record in Congress
will stand microscopic examination,
His private life is above reproach.
