SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-The nomina
ton Of Hancock is received with satisfac
tion by t,ie Democrats, wlo say the Repub
licans can no longer shake the bloody 'irt
to scare timid people into voting against
the Democratic party.
The Examiner heads its editorial. "Pres
ident Hancock" and says he will carry
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut, Indiana. Illinois, California and
Ohio, beside all the Southern States.
The Bulletin SAYS: 1t is the strongest
nomination possible for the Democracy.
but he can not carry Pennsylvania, and
even If lie could that would not bring him
victory. The South bas resorted to every
possible device to capture fully eight North
ern Electoral votes but the presentation OF
military candidate will not make the
North consent to give up the reins of Gov.
eminent. -..-.., p,
The Post expresses delight that the cry
OF fraud has been abandoned, and honest
minded Conservatives who sympathized
with Democrats on the claim that the last
election had been decided by trick, will
now see the shallowness Of that pretext.
Hancock has been put forward as politi-
cal stop-gap TO be brushed aside BY the peo-
pie at the balot-boxes next November. 1t
will not be forgotten either the part which
General Hancock t. ok in the execution OF
Mrs. Surratt for allie ed completely in the
assassination of President Lincoln. This
stain attaches to his name and can not be
ettaced.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Considerable interest
-; roa Il fro,, N;v-
ciRfiati was bulletined at the various cen.
trail points about the city. The Democrats
appear to be generally we'll pleased with
the ticket, while the Republicans say Han
cock was the best man the Democrats could
have nominated and acknowledge it will
require hard work to beat the Democratic
ticket.
The Evening Journal Rep says: "As an
expedency candidate General Hancock is
supposed to be strong. but it must be con.
fessed that as President Of the United
Bates lie ould probably be great failure.
This fact will no doubt become more obvi
Gus as the campaign progresses"
The Daily News independently says:
The Democratic Convention has exhibit
ed infinitely more wisdom than the eoun-
try had much reason to expect. The nomi-
nation of Gen. Hancock is a choice Of the
very best man suggested for the position.
In so far as it was possible for the Demo
cratic National Convention to settle the is
sues of the war and lay away the bloody
shirt, 1t has been done.
The Tribune independent Repub.
f0an) to-day says edit rally that
the selection of General Hancock is
chiefly significant of complete domination
of ex-Rebel Bourbons over the destiny Of
The Democratic party. The secret Of the
devotion OF the South to Hancock NAV be
found in his career during 1867 and 1858 as
commander Of he military div sion which
comprised Louisiana and Texas. He
has had no experience in public af.
