Nomination OF Candidates for President
md Vice President.
Cincinnati, June N.-Indications are
that Hancock will be nominated early to,
day. There seems to have been a gen.
eral stampede in that direction, and If
the managers of his interests push their
advantage vigorously and wisely they
can win. The south, although wanting
Bayard, fear to take the responsibility Of
nominating him and are looking favor
ably upon Hancock.
The southern view is voiced by Gov.
Marks OF Tennessee. He said, ssf think

Hendricks and others cannot he raised
against him."
The Hancock men claim their favorite

They promise the second place to Morri-
son OF Illinois if Illinois will vote for
Hancock, but some of the Illinois men
think 1t possible to concentrate the op-
position to Hancock on Morrison, and
they will push forward to that end. But

when the clerk announced the vote. The

and closed by changing the vote Of
