PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Comment ON the Nominations made
New York.

tnab bllb 0eiuOefdliC blekeL ii one OF
the strongest that could be named,
Tho idea commonly expressed Is that
the tbloody shirLn and personalities
havo been talton out OF the campaign,
and that the battle must be fought on
better and wider questions. The
Commercial Adeertisor declares that
tho orator who expects TO win votes
on the argument that Hancock ORDER
ed tho destruction of Mrs. Surratt,
will lose votes.
The SIN wheels into line saying
that the nomination Of Hancock, pre-
sents tho same great issue which
would have been presented by the
nomination of Tilden although 1t had
hoped that tho latter would be nomI-
natod by the convention. Every
democratic paper, Tammapy ana
anti-Tammany, Is eiated and declares
that the ticket will carry ail the
states that TIlden did, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and possibly Wisconsin as
well.
Republicans and Republican jour
nails, confess their danger and admit
that II tho election was hold to.mor-
row, Hancock would win easily.
They hope, however, that sober Sec
ond thought will show that Garfield
has all theaexcellenees that Hancock
has, civily and military.
The conservative Journal of Com
nlerce snys: While few personal
friends Of politicians may grleve over
their disappointment, the great body
OF the people will rejoice Mt tho re-
suits Of this convention. II the cam
paIgn Is conducted throughout with
the wisdom manifested In It's COM
mencement the chances are certainly
Q out OF 8. and We think out Of
that tho ticket last nominated will be
elected. We believe that good men
OF all parties will gladly accept this
result, and that It will contribute In
no small degree toward an era Of good
feeling and revival OF prosperity In
every section of our common coun-
try.
SAN FRANcIsco, juno 95.-Gen.
Hancock has received congratulalory
dispatches from Senator Thurman,
II. i. Payne and Gen. J. Schofield.
Enthusiastic Approval OF the Nominations
ht Louisville, ny.
LOUISVILLE, June 25.-News Of the
nomination OF Hancock and English
was received by the democrats of this
city with great appreciation. Those
who had other preferences agreed
that 10 would win. One, In fact, up
on which the Democrats would unite
with nil their strength. Republicans
who have been interviewed, concede
that this ticket will be hard to beat.
They admit the excellent record Of
the candidates and are apparently de-
pressed with this fact. That the
ticket will carry New York and Indl-
ana is confidently believed by Demo
Gratis.
Tho Courier Journal gives the ticket
strong endorsement. II says OF
Hancock: The democracy accepts
military man. They accept him
because they believe he will close the
Janus temple Of sectional antagonisIn.
The nomination OF Hancock means
the determination OF the people Of the
Cuited States 10 remove the old sec
tionai issues out OF American politics.
Tho nomination OF any southern
democrat would have opened the
way for republican Hituperation.
They have nothing te say on the
nomination of Hancock. lie Is the
peer OF Grant, In military tact, he did
more fighting than Grant, he was al
ways 10 the front, he was soldier oil

Endorsement.
ST. LoUts, june 25.-The Rep1aJIi-
can this morning, after paying Gen.
Hancock n very high compliment as a
man and n soldier speaks OF the
ticket as follows: The ticket Is built
to run and win. 1t will unite all Gle
ments OF popularity, all elements OF
success. II has not flaw In It's
armor, and the shafts OF partisan ma
lice will find no weak spot TO touch.
II will require neither apology nor
defense. The democrats at Cincin-
natl have done their work wisely and
well. The people will do the rest.
The Times says: The Convention
at Cincinnati yesterday, did its work
promptly and we'll. fit had dellb-
Grated week II could not have
made q stronger ticket, or an ADLER
one or a moro acceptable one to the
party and TO the mass Of tho people.
Its action had the rush of cyclone
and the wisdom of an inspiration.
Gen. Hancock's Aomination was In
the highest spontaneous. He had no
following obsequious personal partl-
sans, he was surrounded by no coterie
Of trained politicians, who have a
right TO claim reversionary interest
in him and hiscampaign, he had not a
literary bureau disseminating exag-
gerated compliments and eulogies OF
him. HIS campaign was entirely
without agencies that are ordinarily
considered essential to success, and
as a consequence he is without polit-
ical complication and engagements,
and stands for the best element in his
party and country.
WIeI, Enforcement OF Hancock by his FeI-
. low Officers.
