HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND VICE
PRESIDENT.
THE DAYS OF JUBILEE HAVE COME.

BY this time the names Of the Democratic
nominees have travelled with electric speed
to every part Of the world, and kinded the
first fires of enthusiasm in this campaign
The effect of the announcement here, tina,
Hancock and English were to lead the
Democratic hosts this year, was in marked
contrast to that of the Republi-
cans. The proceedings Of the Chicago
convention were watched with interest by
both parties here and caused ripple of
excitement among the Republicans. But
when the news of the nominations came,
even that died away, and dead calm over
spread the entire community. No congrat-
ulations, no EXPLANATIONS of joy, no con-
gratulatory dispatches no unfurling of
flags, no display of fire works, no speakers,
no firing of cannon and no confident pre-
dictions of success were heard or seen.
How different in this case. The several
bulletins and the telegraph office were con-
stantly surrounded by crowd of eager
men. Every dispatch was received
with shouts of delight. the announcement
of the result of the second ballot was mo-
mentarily looked for with painful exp eta
ton but without any fear, and when il
came, at about eleven o'clock a. m, every
countenance lighted up with unmistakable
satisfaction. The news was conveyed from
door to door along the entire levee in a
twinkling; business men and clerks
neglected their customers, lawyers their eli
ents and doctors their patients; everybody
forgot their waiting dinners at home; and
merchants scattered handbills, advertisinr
wares in connection with the nominees
names. Twenty minutes after the news
reached here Walton Wright had the
streamer, with Hancock" painted upon il
in large black letters, unfurlcd to the
breezes on the new pole, with the roo;ter
standing proudly on top, and congratula-
tory dispatches were received by our mer-
chants from their customers in our sister
towns.
Preparation were Immediately made for a
grand ratification meeting. Fire works
were secure and cannon brought forth.
Able and enthusiastic speakers were will
to endorse the nominations, and faces that
never cracked smile showed unmistaka-
bic SYMPTOMS of gladness. And there was
good cause for all this The men who will
guide the Democratic party into power and
free this land from the horde of corruption
lists that have been preying upon the people
for these many years, are well worthy of all
these manifestations of favor on the part of
the people. The ticket is posi-
lively invinicible. 1t can not
be defeated. We believe this because it
will remove the chief cause of our defeat
in the pasl--it will restore harmony in the
national Democratic party. No Democrat
will find any cause FOR dissatisfaction and
no Republican will dare to wave the
bloody shirt or hurl any charge of dishon-
orable action against either Of them. Both
are accomplished gentlemen, both have
had unlimited experience in public affairs;
both have made record in the service of
the people, which stands above reproach---
brighter than the face of the sun; both are
men Of expanded inteilects, strict integrity.
great executive ability and firm in their
convictions Of right, who understand the
spirit OF the constitution and would die
rather than violate its provision. We
cannot do them Justice in
the time and space allowed us, and we feel
that it is not necessary that we should,
suffice il to say, that never
before were the people more ready to APP
pseciate the high qualities of any two men
or more determined to show their apprecia-
ton. Hence II is safe to regard the bright
political horizon as indicative of a future
where the rights and interests Of the people
are guarded and the government admins

the party which has borne the rebukes of
