GEN. HANCOCK,

The Hancock association of New Orleans
recently issued an address to the people, in
which fourteen reasons are given why Gen,
W. 8. Hancock should receive the presi
dental nomination, as follows:
]. He is true exponent of democrats
theories and democratic principles.
2. He has filled To the fullest measure the
duties of well rounded life, in which are
snguarly blended the highest type OF the
American soldier and the splendid exem.
plcation of the civil ruler.
3. He maintains the subserviency of the
military to the civil authority.
4. He Is personally the most popular man
Of the nation.
5. His nomination would secure thousands
OF votes from union soldiers who would sup
port no other democratic candidate.
6. His nomination would harmoni2e the
contending factions in New York.
Z. He can carry the State OF Pennsylvania.
8. His nomination would create such en-
thusasm in the south rs to render every
state beyond doubt.
0. His character and record are such that
in no possible event could he be put upon
the defensive.
10. His nomination would antagonize no
seesV" VI 'lo COUNTY nv POIto' VI iie
democratic party.
IL. He, better than any man living, can
allay the passions of civil strife, drive sec
tionalism out Of politics aud forever end the
"bloody shirt" crusades.
IL. His entire life is an earnest that he
would call none to his counsels but those
on whom the country could safely rely.
*. lie combines more elements of strength
and availability than any other named il
connection with the presidency.
II. II elected, he will take his scat.

TOR the man who can poll the most votes
against Grant, and it will look out that man
from the list of candidates with the utmost
caution, and with regard only TO two quail
fications--a pure article of Democracy and
manifest availability. The spirit which
govern sd the Convention will be very like
ly to prevail in the delegation, and shall
be greatly astonished if it does not show
itself more harmonious body without the
coercive unit rule than it would have been
