The Greenb"ckers nre claiming that they
will carry Texas next fall. If such n thing
should occur she will indeed be the "Loa
Star."
Enthusiastic Democratic meetings nre he
ing held all oyer the country to ratify the
action oTlhe Cincinnati convention. We
do not hear so much about the ratification
of the Chicago nomination, Our opponent
seem to haye given up the contest from the
very start.
For years past Republicans have entered
on Presidential campaigns with faces beam
ing with smiles, for they felt pretty certaiu
of success. Now about all that Is necessary
to arouse their tempers is to mention Han
cock's rrame. Tho certainty of what the
fall election will bring forth does not Bet
well on their stomachs.
The Democratic Party is told that Han
cock cannot be elected because he is a Cath
olio (which Is not true) and therefore Pro
testanU will not Vote for him. He hutg
Mrs. Surratt and therefore the Catholics
will not vote for him. Before the campaign
is over this bravest of patriot soldiers will be
accused of cowardice and treason, so much
stronger is tho love of power than gratitudi
for enemies to the union.
Proceedings of Hie Convention in Urief.
Cincinnatti, Juno 240:50 p. m. The
nomination of Hancock has carried every
thing by storm. Illinois cast her vote solid
for bim; New York voted for Randall and
so did twenty-one of the Pennsylvania dele
gation amid hisses and cheers, but when the
vote was about to be counted tho States
began to change, and with Kentucky solid
for Hancock,be had over five hundred votes,
then every delegation vied with the other
in trying to be heard above .he storm ot
cheers and the noise of enthusiasm to

New York and every other State but Iudi
.Yn,Wn,l ,r,hr St.i w Tn.itl I
ana, which stood loyally by Hendricks, A
revised call showed seven hundred and one
votes fcr Hancock. The cheers were re
sumed, aud the Haucock banner with his
portrait was brought down to the President's
desk and waved, and the banners of the
States came in to greet tho next President.
The scene which now took place and filled
the next half hour cannot bedescribed. The
cheers echoed and re-echoed, ladies swung
their handkerchiefs, flags and banners were
waved, the band struck up ''The Star Span
gled Banner" and the great organs joined
tho chorus. The restoration of order brought
an Indiana delegate to the stand to make a
motion for a unanimous vote. This was sec
onded by several States in five orations amid
continued cheers. The motion was carried.
Randall and Wallace came forward togeth
er and pledged the united vote and effort in
Pennsylvania; Wade Hampton pledged
South Carolina; Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
pledged a solid South. By this time John
Kelly, heading his party, came into the hall
and took the platform, Tremendous cheer
ing greeted him; he buried the hatchet,
shok hands with Fellows, the leader of the
regulars, and the united Democracy in New
York was tremendously cheered. .The conf
tnlttee on platform reported. It denounced
the fraud of 187G and the crimes which fol
followed; favors retrenchment, gold and sil
ver, and paper convertible in same; oppos
es discriminations In favor of monopolies
and corporations. Chinese settlements of
permanent character and foreign agression
in America. It encourages labor, free com
merce and tariff only for revenue. The plat
form was adopted without debate or a dis
senting voice, and witli great applause.
English, of Indiana, was nominated on the
first ballot for Vica President. He has serv
ed in Congress. Dispatches were read from
New York, Indiana and Galena, III, Grant's
home, and other points, announcing the
wildest enthusiasm over Hancock's nomina
tion. Guns aro firing all over the country;
Cincinnati is ablaze with fervor. Republi
cans openly announce their adhesion to the
ticket. Judge West, who ran for Governor
on the Republican ticket against Bishop has
come over with a large following. The rat
ifications will at once be held at all points.
AFTER THE NOMINATION.
General Hancock was at Governor's Is
land uttendiog to official duties. When In
formed of bis nomination he did not speak.
Soon after, his wife held a reception at their
pleasant home, of the wives of other officers
on the Island. Congratulatory telegrams
'poured In from every quarter. Among them
was the following;
"I congratulate you for your nomination
for president and predict your election and
complete restoration of peace to all sections.

A brave and well tried soldier of the Uu

that tho people are infinately greater than

This day has cast great shadows across
tho path of James A. Garfield, The nom
ination of Winfield Scott Hancock as his
competitor for the highest civil trust of the
world, by the spontaneous acclaim of a

even the most favorable circumstances for
Garfield must be doubtful in its issue, and
that gives more than even promise in its
sweeping Hancock in every northern state.

Tho republic can boast of no citizen whoso

is one of the best of a clas3 which happily
is beginning to furnish many illustrious ex
amples in the adornment of public affairs;
and while we could esteem as nothing else
than calamity the success of the Democratic
party we must recognize from the begin

The Republican party is now put upon a

Garfield's adherents affect to believe that
lie possesses high qualities as a statesman
yet they coufets that ho possesses so little dis
cernment that he fell Into the clumsy trap of
Oakes Ames and is oi such amazing simplic
ity that ho accepted the De Golycr bribe in
tho belief that it was an attorney fee. There
is another episode in the career of Garfield as
aetateman'to which hjs bupporters are re
iuctant to refer. Ho was one of the visiting
statesmen who went to New Orleans to en
courage J. Madison Wells to wipe out a dem
ocratic majority of ten thousand votes in
Louisiana. When this work was accomplish
ed he returned to Washington and boasted
of his share in it. He next had the effron
tery to sit on the electoral commission as a
judgo when ho had already prejudged the
case as counrel for Mr. Hayes. When the
fraudulent decision of the electoral commis
sion was made he joined in tho intrigue to
quiet the title of Mr, Hayes with the consid
eration that the carpet-bag government of
Packard in New Orleans should be abandon
ed by the federal troops and left to its fate,
Tho aptness fur intrigue and conspiracy
which Garfield lias developed in his career
in congress is held up to the American peo
pie is proof of statesmanship. It is a kind
of "statesmanship" that General Hancock is
too proud and high-minded a man to learn
Patriot.
When the news of Garfield' nomination
was received at Galena, General Grant was
In General Rawley'a office receiving dli
patches. All he said was, "Itli all right
I am satisfied," and soon after went home.
Home was the lest plsoe for him just then,
too, for no doubt he fU ck t the stomach.
Tho Platform,
Tho Democrats of tho United States, in

First, Wo pledge ourselves anew to tho
constitutional doctrines and traditions of tho

Seventh, The great fraud of 1870-77, by
which, upon a false count of the electoral
votes of two states, tho candidatedefeatcd at
the polls was deelared to ho President, and

threat of military violence, struck a deadly
blow at our system of representative govern

the country from tho horrors of a civil war,
pubmitlcd for the time in firm and patriotic
faith that tho people would punish this

unaris every oilier, it imposes a more
sacred duty upon Iho people of the Union
than ever addressed the consciences of a na

Eighth, We execrate I he course of this ad

Amth, the resolution of Samuel J. Til-
deu not again to hecandidato for the exalted
place to which bo was exalted by a majority
of his countrymen, and from which he was
excluded by the leaders of tho Republican
party, Is received by tho Democrats ot the
United Stales withlsensibility of his wisdom,
patriotism and integrity, unshaken by tho
assaults of a common enemy, and they fur
ther assure him that he is followed into the
retirement he has chosen lor himfelf by the
sympathy and respect of bis fellow citizens,
who regard him as one elevating the stand

Thirteenth, Tho Democratic party is tho
friend ot labor and laboring men, and
pledges itsell to protect them alike against
the cormorants and the commune.
Foruteenth, We congratulate the country
upon the honesty and thrift of a Democrat
ic Congress which has reduced tho public
expenditure S40,000,000 a year; upon the
continuation ot prosperity at home, and the
national honor abroad ; nud above all, upon
the promise of such a change in tho admin
istration of the governmen as shall insure us
genuine reform in every department of the
pualfc service.
The platform was adopted unanimously.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. June '29th, 1880.
Notice is given that tho few conservatives
who hold places in the departments will be
dismissed. Most of these gentlemen have
been long in tho service, have become famil
iar with the special work they are doing, and
are estimable citizens. Tho argument now
used in favor of proscription is that it is
necessary to show that tho Republican party
stands by itf friends, and is not afraid of its
enemies. The idea has got abroad in some
way that Mr. Hayes, on his advent to power,
caused tho appointment of quite a number of
conservative gentlemen in all tho depart
ments, He did not. Tho conseryativo gen
tlemen now employed, aud who are to bo re
moved, aro old in service and peculiarly well
quilified for the performance of their duties.
Their abilities are mch that even the craze
against everything hut bitter radicalism,
which dominated Grauts first administration,
failed to secure their removal, They go out
uudcr the civil services reform administration
of Mr. Haves.
In Washington there is but one opinion of
the nomination cf Hancock, and it is that
no better could have been made. Tho simple
truth is that it has healed every division in
the Democratic parly, aud has brought aud
will bring many thousands of Republicans of
tho belter class to its support. It was em
phatically a people's nomination, not being
arranged in advanco in tho interest of poli
ticians, and such nominations are generally
tho strongest. As showing how little the
"machine-" bad to do with Hancock's selec
tion I givo tho statement, found in the
Evening Star of this city, of an intelligent
Washington gentleman who was at the Con
vention: "There is a secret of the Hancock
boom in Cincinnati worth letting out. About
live days before tho nomination was made a
score of Hancock's friends held a consulta
tion at No. 177 Elm street, Hancocks head
quarters. At this gathering it was urged
that some money was needed for legitimate
expenses ; whereupon Senator Wallace,
Blanton, Duncan, E. John Ellis, Col. Jod.
McKibbon aud others chipped In and ratscd
1757. After Hancock was nominated they
met again to settle tneir nuut. iliero was
ten days rent of a room to be paid for at ISO
per day, making 1500, One hundred dollars
was spent in printing, and another hundred
for a streamer and transparencies. This was
the sum total of the expenditures. In settling
up their was $57 left, to be returned pro rata
to subscribers. This $700 was the sum total
expended In Hancocks behalf and the entire
amount was raised after his friends reached
Cincinnati,
HlLTO.
KKI'UllMUAN CONVENTION',
Ono of the strongest features ot the re
publican party is its inconsistency. It has
already made its appearancoin the present
campaign. Only a day after General Han
cock was nominated they bfgnn to abuse
him with his connection with tho iianglngof
Mrs. Surratt, ovorybody knows tho circum
stances of that unfqttunato nfiiiir.
Tho Philadelphia Times says of this:
"General Hancock was in command In
tho Valley when tho country was thrown In
to excitement by tho nssasinntlon of Presi
dent Lincoln, nud ho was immediately sum
moned to Washington by President John
sod and nssmned tho military command at
tho capttol. It was in this way ho wss nsio
elate I with tho trial by the military court.
nnd ilia subsequent execution, nf the alleged
coii'plralors, including Mrs Surratt, Much
Interest had bcn exhibited in this part of
ids service, and the. prominence, of bis pos
ition has, in the minds of somo Ignorant
people, made his connection with the exe
cution of i lie prisoners moro Intimate than is
true. It must bo remembered that ho wns
in command ol a force in nnd about tho
capitol ol about 100,000 men, having, prac
tically, only the Secielnry of War and the
President as his superiors, Willi tho de
tail of the gardlng and the care of the pris
oners ho had uothlug whatever to do. They
were confined In tho nrsenal, and tho com
mander there was General llartronft, who
look the position by order of tho Secretary
of war. A military commission, ordered by
the President, tried by tho prisoners, found
them guilty, condemned somo of them to
and the fiudlngs of the military court were
approved by the President. Tho execution
had been ordered for Iho 8th day of July.
On the 9th Messrs. Aiken and Clampitt, the
counsel of Mrs. Surratt, went before tho
United Statps Justice Wylio and procured a
writ of habeas corpus. This wns served by
the Marshal of the district on General
Hancock as the bead of the military dlvis
ion. As was his duty ho forwarded it to his
superior, tho President ot the United States
aud the Commander-iu Chief. President
Johnson at once Issued the following procla
illation :
Execativo Office, July 7.
To Major General Hancock, Commander :
I, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, do hereby declare that the
writ of habeas corpus has been heretofore
suspended in such cases as this ; and I do
hereby especially suspend this writ aud di
rect that you proceed and executo the order
heretofore given you upon the judgment of
tho military commission, and you will give
this order in return to this writ.
This was indorsed on the writ and, ac
companied by the United States Attorney
General Speed, General Hancock presented
himself btfore Justice Wylie and made re
turn to the writ, Tho execution took place
the following day. General Hancock saw
that the only hope of Mrs. Surratt lay in
tho power of her daughter to move tho prcsi
dent's heart and he so informed the daugh
ter and gave her every facility in his power
to gain acces to the President. So great was
bis anxiety in tho looked-for pardon or re
prieve that he placed a lino of mounted sen
tinels from the White house to the place of
cxicution,that the words of grace, if spoken
at the fast minute, should go surely and
swiftly. But no such words were spoken."
Had General Hancock resigned his posi
tion to escapo the performance of his duty,
ho would have been denounced as a coward
and a traitor. Had he refused to obey the
orders of his superiors be would havo been
court-martialed and dismissed from the ser
vice in dis-honor, or perhaps in the excite
ment ol that time, have been sentenced to
death. And yet tho same partisan press that
at that time howled for the execution of an
innocent woman, whom trial nnd sentence
was the work of a republican administration,
now attempt to avail themselves of the cir
cumstance by btarting the cry against Gen
eral Hancock that "he huug Mrs. Surratt."
Consistency is indeed a jewel that does not
sparkle in the crown of republicanism.
Why Leonard Jerome Will Vote for
llnnt-ock.
The following as witten by Leonard
Jerome to General Hancock, giving his rea
sons for supporting him for Presidency,
You, sir,embody the views and sentiments
in regard to the great question of the day
that we have entertained sinco the war closed
They arethe Bamo that actuated General
Grant when ho laid down those liberal
terms of surrender to General Lee. They
arejtho same that atuccd my poor friend
Raymond, when ho battled so manfully in
the committee of Congress against the sav
age policy of Tbad Stevens. I believe that
General Grant would support you to-day did
not the exigencies of his situation forbid it.
And Henry J. Raymond, were ho alive,
would support you, too, unless the exigen
cies of the New York Times restrained him,
Ho was compelled at an early day to smother
the sentiments ho had expressed in the ad
dress of the Philadelphia convention, to
abandon his career in the legislative halls,
our business manager and partner, insisted
the paper would be ruined. (I believed that
I offered to pay the damages at the time,
but that was considered impracticable.) It
was a bitter pill, but it had to be swallowed.
Tliad Stevens had succeeded through a Con
gress which misrepresented tho country in
engrafting his policy upon tho Republican
party. And though a party, ns I firmly be
lieve, were disgusted, it was fastened upon
them and there was no way of getting to it.
Thus for years a vast number of us, good
Republicans, have been compelled to be
helpless supporters of a policy wo believe to
bo the very worst that could bo devised. An
opportunity is presented us now, for the first
time with any Buccess, to vote in accordance
with our convictions, and I am sure weshail
doit most joyfully.
At first Garfield's friends were blushing at
Arthur's record,but now Arthur's are aghast
at Garfield s record.
To be or not to be to scratch or not to
scratch, Just now agitates some of the great
reformers.
Hancock's name is not down in Oakes
Amo's note book, Neither Is English's.
Ask Garfield.
A republican club of slxty-flvo members
atSt. Louis resolved unanimously on Satur
day evening last to support Hancock and
English.
Since Hancock's uominatlou tho repub
lican congressional committee has great
troubio in collecting its assessments from the
department clerks. They do not see much
prospect of staying on after next fourth nf
March,
To have been a preacher and to have been
