abroad, ana, ABOVE all, upon tne promise Oi
such change in the administration of the
Government as shall insure us genuine and
lasting reform in every department Of the
public service.
A NEWSPAPER SALAD.
ALL SORTS OF OPINIONS, BUT FAR MORE OIL
THAN VINEGAR.
Boston Herald-Rep.]
The Democratic Convention has done well.
portland Argus-Dem.]
Gen. Hancock would command a support
wider and higher than mere party.
Wilmington Every Evening-Dem.]
The Independent class will demand some
thing more than simple innocence in candi-
date.
philadelphia Star-Rep]s
Perhaps the most formidable candidate
that could be selected from among the large
array of Presidential aspirants as Garheld's
competitor.
boston Post-Dem.
A happier result than the nomination Of
the great soldier.statesman could not have
been achieved. It combines solid merit with
universal popularity.
Boston Advertlser-Rep.J
Such nomination wants the positive quail
tiles which an active interest and participa-
tion in the great civil affairs Of the country
can alone give.
baltimore Sun-Ind.]
Instead of canvass of personal villi6ca-
ton and detraction, or Of appeals to sectional
feeling and by.gone animosities, we may have
an old.fashioned contest of principles and
measures.
Wilmington (De.) News-Rep.]
We warn our Republican friends to be up
and doing There is no time to lose. If we
win, it will be after one of the most hotly
contested and evenly divided battles in the
history of the country.
philadelphia Teegraph-Rep.]
Is there anything whatever in Gen. Han
cocks career to indicate that he will-if he
is elected-have any better success in dealing
with the complexities of the executive situa.
ton than Grant had?
Boston Globe-Dem.]
The ticket represents the real issue on
which the campaign will be fought. 1t
means the supremacy Of civil power, q
buried past, prosperous future and an hon.
.est government in the hands of honest men.
Baltimore American-Rep]
His nomination is the appeal of the Demo.
cratic party to the soldier vote. IN its final
analysis it is not craftsmanship but demagoga.
ry. He is weaker than either Bayard or Hen.
bricks, or perhaps Payne or Jewett
Toledo Blade-Rep.]
Gen. Hancock's nomination will impose as
little upon the people as did Gen. Clellan's
or Horace Greeley's They will care as little
for his war record, when debased to serve
the purposes of screen, as they did for the
infinitely more brilliant one of Gen. Grant.
Washington Republican-Rep.]
The nomination of noble soldier, made
from the most ignoble motives, the result Of
wretched rivalries, was the death knell Of the
Whg party. The nomination of Hancock
came by reason of exactly similar political
tactics and beliefs. The result, in our opinion,
will follow the parallel.
[Altoona Tribune-Rep.]
The Democrats have certainly displayed
wisdom in their choice, as he is the most
available man they could have placed in the
field. His record is clean and brilliant, and
he will have to be fought solely as the rep
resentative of principles which the Republi-
cans hold to be atvariance with the best in
terests of the country.
[Pittsburg Dispatch-Rep.]
For the first time in almost score Of years
the Democracy have won public appliance.
By the nomination of Winfield S. Hancock,
soldier of the Republic and an irreproacha'
BILE citizen, they have re-established some
claim of political sagacity as well as to an
apparent desire to get en- rapport with the
best sentiment of the people.
baltimore Gazette--Dem.]
Brave ip the field, sagacious in the council
chamber, loyal to the flag of his country and
devoted to the great cause of constitutional
freedom, always an uncompromising Demo
crat, but never narrow-minded partisan,
he commands today to as great an extent as
any man living the respect and confidence OF
the millions of free men over whose destinies
he will be called upon to preside.
Washington Post-Dem.]
Happy is it for the Democratic party, for:
tunate is it for the people of the United
States, that the delegates at Cincinnati made
so wise a decision. Without diparagement
of other candidates, each of whom had his
peculiar elements Of strength, it may be
safely asserted that no name would have
evoked greater enthusiasm or infused into
the public mind stronger confidence of victo.
ry than the name of this gallant son of the
keystone State.
Boston Journal-Rep]
Next to Ex-Governor Seymour, Gen. Han
cock is the strongest man that the Demo.
Gratis could nominate. We would have our
Republican friends fully understand this.
There is, however, this thing about it: Among
thoughtful men and those known as indepen-
dent voters, Gen. Hancock will lose strength
with the lapse of time. They will see that
he has no special qualifications for the Office,
no experience in civil life and no familiarity
with civil administration.
[springheld Republican-Ind.]
But why Hancock? In fitness for the
Presidential office he does not rank before
the country with Bayard, Randall and sey.
