After tne announcement tbe Chair announced that no candidate having received a majority of the votes, anotner ballot would be necessary. , , , A motion was then made to adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, and at 6 o'clock precise y, after a continuous session of nearly eight hours, the Convention adjourned.

TILDIS In which he had renounced himself before this Convention and the delegation ; knowing his honesty of purpose, had considered It final and bad thin morning agreed on another candidate than Tilden, ile wai requested to announce that New York's choice before the Convention was a J SWDAM, Speaker of the House of Representatives. TBC SECOND BALLOT. The roll call then proceeded. It resulted as follows Alabama at the opening of the second ballot cast , . XLEVEJC VOTES rOE HANCCCK. California followed with five for Hancock. When Illinois waa reached tne vote came for Hancock forty-two votes. Wild enthusiasm followed the announcement, a yesterday it had voted solid for Morrison. The cheering waa repeated wbeu the clerk announced the . The same demonstrations followed the announcement of Louisiana, Main, Michigan and Minneso-a. When Missouri's twenty eteht for Hancock were given there was aaolhVr roofing eüer. the delegate. 'lAn and aviug their bat and fans. Wnen New York's seventy votes lor Randall were announced the Club whose white hats and canes were usd, their cheers were met by hisses. When Ohio was called Alex Long said tbe deleeation asked leave to retire for consultation The State was passed Pennsylvania also asae to retire, and was passed. When Ohio was called again Mr. Hill said the most of the delegation was absent and the Chairman was also abient, but in obedience to the Instruction of the 3,XJ0 Democrats of Ohio he would cast the forty-lour votes of Ohio for Allen G. Thurroan. The Chair refused to recognize Mr. Hills right to cast the vole. Ohloreturned and cast forty for Thnrman. There was no sensation at the announceWisconsin got permission to change her vote, and cast . TWEXTY VOTES TOR HANCOCK. Here was another wild scene of excitement. New Jersey followed, casting her eighteen votes for Hancock. Instantly the whole Convention and the galleries, became wild with enthusiasm. , . The Chair struck a base staccato accompaniment to the anthem of enthusiasm, out it reauired several minutes to enaDle him to bear an individual voice. When at last peace was partly restored, Mr. Hale, of Pennsylvania, mounted on a chair and shouted out: riSSSTLVANIA IS PEOCD Or HEB 805. He went on to eulogize Hancock, and closed by changing the vote of Pennsylvania, mak ing orty-eigut votes for Hancock. Again the anthem of enthusiasm, aud again in vain the weakened staccato of the Chairman s gavel until It was wholly drowned by the overwhelming tide of sound. A.oulslana'8 banner, with HAXCOCK S PORTRAIT, which had been at the organ, was borne to the front of the stage. The State banners, over the whole boooe, were waving in the air. Above all was the monotonous anthem only welling and falling as the efforts of the Chairman to stop the uproar iE creased or slackened. The climax of excitement was reached wben all the banners of tne States rushed to the Chairman's desk and surrounded the banner bearing the portrait of THE CHOICE OF THE DEMOCRACY. When something like ten minutes had been spent In thta exciiiog outburst, the banners went back to their places. Then W. P. C Breckenrldge, of Kentucky, with great difficulty, changed her vote to eighteen for Hancock, five lor Bayard, and one for Thnrman ; Nebraska changed ber six votes to Hancock; Virginia then changed to Hancock; then Nevada; then Rhode Island, and the work was done. The Chairman, weary of the excitement, sat down, and said be would recogniw nobody until the delegates took their seats. At length a delegate from New Hampshire moved to make the call of States anew. Thla motion was quickly adopted, and tbe call began anew. It began with 8tate after Btate voting solidly for Hancock, but there were many hisses mingled with the applause aa the votes were announced. Indiana asked a moment for consultation, and then voted for Hendricks. IOWA CREATED A 8ESSATIOK by casting one vote for Hancock. Wisconsin, which baa begun the movement, closed, it with giving her vote for Hancock. HAKCOCK B0MI7ATXD. The second ballot for President aa finally recorded Is aa follows:

Tbe band played "Hall rninmhtk" and "Yankee Doodle." and aealn the bouse rung with cheers of the UiouhhikIh. William Mack, Chairman of tbe Indiana delegation, took the stand and asked to be heard. (Hisses 1 After rebuking those who hissed tbe H oosler JJemocrats, ne movea 10 uiaae mo uummUon of Hancock unanimous, promising that INDIANA 1.1 Mjit hp Tnt i n Nnvrmber far Hkneock. u. m i Ranrfa.ll then was nresented to the audience to second the nomination. Mr. Randall said be was nere to second ine nomi nation et Pennsylvania's son, Ueneral Hancock. The action had been unanimous. The nomination waa strong, would bring victory, and would add tbe keystone of the Federal arch to the Democratie Htatea. He closed by promising his untiring efforts for the election of the nominee. Hancock's nomination

means that if elected he will be inaugurated. M r. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, followed, tendTlna the thanks of the delegation and of his 8t ate frr to-day's action. He said Mstory repeat Itself in this goodly city Twenty years ago the De mocrcy named its last President, a .id her now it names Its next. The duty of the Democracy now is aggression, aggression, aggressl n. SENATOR WADE HAMPTON, of Booth Carolina, on bis crutch s, came to the platform and was greeted with loud applause. He said that on behalf of tbe solid South that once was arrayed against Ueneral Hancock, he pledged the lolld vote of the Houth to tbe gallant nominee of the Conven

tion. Recognizing Ueneral Hancock's gallantry in war, and his true observance of the rights pertaining to civil life, be pledged to Llio the earnest, trne and energetic support of all the Houth, and for his Htate of South Carolina, so lately redeemed from misrule, he promised a decisive Democratic majority. Judge Hoadley followed, promising the support of Ohio, and that by the aid ef the silver tongued orators of other States its electoral vote would be cast for Uanoock. The Chair then put the motion, and It was UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED. Immediately the band struck up "The Btar Spangled Banner. The great organ added the overflowing volume of its tone in an accompaniment, and the effect was thrilling. r.KATOR V00RHEE8 ECOSDS THE K0MI5A TION. D. W. Voorhees took the platform, and said: Ladies and Oemtllmkm This is no time for words nor for speech-making, and I arise Imply to say that, though aomewat sorohearted, tne Democracy of Indiana knows its duty, and tbat duty will be perlormed In the co ning contest under the gallant leadership of the nominee which has been given as. l Applause 1 We had hoped to follow our own gifted and distinguished statesman, but we will wltn none the less alacrity and cheerful new send forth a victory In October, followed by another in November under the leadership of Ueneral Hancock. Applause This is a grai spectacle nere to-uay. it is full ol briKbt and glorious omens for tbe future It Is a solid ratification and reconciliation between the two great section of this country. lA.pplause.1 Yoa have heard much of tbe Confederate Brigadier. I know him and I nownia nonor na nis cmvalry. Creneral Hancock Knows mm, too, aud knows that In this charge and thla great battle for constitu tional liberty he can rely upon the Confederate Brigadier with as much confidence as be ever relied upon the Union soldier during tbe war of the Rebellion. lAppiauseJ It Is not because of Ueneral Hancock's Hashing career as a military man merely that he has was won tbe heart of this country. I venture tar say there never was a nomination made which was so utterly destitute of preparation, pre liminary arrangement as this which has nen made to-day, and why? The spectacle of a military man subordinat ing the military power to the civil authorities Is one of the most pleasant spectacles of history, this Ueneral Hancock tias won upon tne neart or nis country. Washington was a soldier, but his greatest achieve imnt was when he said that the laws of his country were above the sword and military power, tureat appiause.j nancock won re nown upon many battle-fields, sbed his olood upon many battle-fields, rode down the line as proua a ngure in military History as Marshal Ney or any other marshal that ever commanded men, but his proudest act was when placed in command of what was thought by our Radical opponents crushed, broken and ruined States. He had the sagacity, he had thx patriotism, to lift up down-trodden civil authorities, to say: "Soldier that I am, the laws that protect freedom of speech. trial by jury, habeas corpus, shall be upheld by me, by the sword that Is In my nand." Loud cheers He spoke for civil liberty when It was overthrown luroughoutone nan or this country, lie de clared in that act he made a second declara tion of independence for the Southern states. I Applause. I He made a second declaration of constitutional liberty, and set an example for his own and for our future generations of obe dience to that great framework devised by our fathers, protected by their failure, eDjoyed by us. He is worthy of your confidence. Helsa bright leader in war, and a still brighter leader in peace; and on the wisdom, fortitude, conscience and patience of a man like that we can trust the institutions of this beloved land of ours. Mr. Falconer, of New York, followed. Then came W. C. P. Breckenrldge, of Kentucky, who began by saying: "We have this day beaten our swords into pruning hooks, with which we shall reap In November the autumnal harvest of success." He bad loved the South; he had been willing to lay down hie life for her, but to day be stood on a higher plane that of American ciilaenship. To-day the banner unfurled is the star-spangled of the Nation, made sacred by the blood ot the man chosen this day as theleader ot the Democratic party. He appealed to New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Connecticut to answer for their part In the coming contest, and closed by Invoking Uod's blessing on this day's work. At this point John Kelly appeared, coming down tbe main aisle. ' Instantly a great shout arose. Tbe organ chimed in and the band also played. By the time Kelly had reached the stage tbe excitement was almost equal to tbe scenes of the early moments of the Convention. Tbe Chair introduced Mr. Kelly, saying: ' It gives me great pleasure to announce to you to day that in nominating a President of the United States, to-day yen have reunited the Democracy of New York cheers, and those who have been temporarily absent from this Council come to day to announce to you that they give in their allegiance to the Democracy, and to the support of your ticket.' Mr John Kelly then came to the Chair mau's desk amid terrific yelia and applause. MR. kelly's remarks. Mr. Chairman aid Gentlixes or the Cojvitiox Your Chairman has told you that by your action of to-day In nominating Ueneral Hancock, you have united the Democracy of the State of New York. Shouts, applause and hisses. He has told you truly. lApplauseand a voice, hurrah." While myself and my brethren here on the right have been fighting each other politically for the last five years, they no doubt will agree with what I am going to say: Let past ditterertnees be banished from our midst. Great applause and cheers. I am not going to speak to you now of what baa occurred In the great State of New York, or what has occurred since we came to tbe city of Cincinnati. Never again shal I refer in a political way as to what has transpired in tbe State In which we live. Applause. We have disagreed simply politically. Our personal relations were never severed, though sometimes our politic j1 anxieties often led us Into making passionate remarks against each other. In our sober moments, when we have time to reflect, then we see like sensible men that we have committed an error and are willing to ask each other's forgiveness. lAppIause, cheers and a voice, "good for you." I think that my friends here on my right, as I said, will agree with me upon this question, that tbe great State of New York can not be carried unless there be a united Democracy in that State. Now, that we are united, 1 think tbat it will be safe for me to say to this Convention tbat there can be no doubt as to what the result will be In that State In November next. Ureat applause You have nominated, not only a great soldier, but a statesman. When Intrusted with power by the Uovernment he recollected the fact that he owed to the people of the country a dnty, and when the Uovernment expected him clothed with the military authority tbat be was, that that snonld take the place instead of the civil power, he, like a eensl ble man. Like a true patriot, like a noble American said: "Let cthetvil power first be tried, and when the military power is wanted to suppress riot or to do anything else that may be needed to protect with the strong arm of our Uovernment, I am always your servant" Now, gentlemen, you have nominated a soldier. We have had a great war among the people ot tils country, we do not desire to discuss the question of the late war at all, but I think that yoa have nominated, under the circumstances, a gentleman, a soldier, a states a an and a Democrat, against whom nothing In the world can be said Ureal Applause. Philip of Macedon had his phal anx; the father of the great A'exander had bis phalanx, and when the soldiers of his son were beaten and scattered, tbts rraorted to the phalanx. We can say of Ueneral Hancock, he naa his phalanx in the soldiers and in the hearts of the grr at American people. Now, Mr. Chaii man, I will say to this Convention, and as I bave said to my brethren from tbe Htate of New York, sitting here as delegtes, let us return home to our State, let us organise ear party everywhere In the State, aa I know we will, and the man who onoe refers to the history of the p, Jt, politically, of the Btate, let hin, whoever be may be let

him be looked upon as a traitor to the Demo cratlc party. Loud applause. Mr. Chairman, I thank this Convention for tbe kind reception which you have given me, and 1 nava nothing in the world to say against what was the acMou of this Convention In relation to tbe organisation which I, ir tbe past, represent Let HI of that pas away. I promise the Convention, In my humble wy and poor services, to do everything in my power from this day forth, until the day of tbe election, to elect the Democratic ticket Loud applause and three cheers for New York: and now let me repeat to my friends bere on the right, from the State of New York, let us once and for all take each other by tbe band and say this in common Loud applause, that we ha e a nobler duty to perform than to be fighting each other politically In our own biate. fApolause.J Let us untie as a band of brothers, let us look on each other kindly and favorably, and wben we act together, united as we must be, let me pledge again to the Convention tbat there can be no question whatever as ti the result. Loud appiause.j Loud calls were made for mr fellows, or sew tori. representing tbe other side of tbe New York political strife. He appeared at length, and while the house was cheering and the Chairman was rapping for order, he took bis place at the Speaker's desk. A proclamation for special quiet was male by the Chair and repeated by the Sergeant-at-Arms, to enable him tobe beard. the speech or mr. fellows. Mb. Chairman and uestlemej of the Convention I ;tm in no form for speech Ii log; I am almost completely exhaust ed by the labors ot this Convention; am utterly without voice; 1 needed all ihe Inspiration that the surrounding could give me, in order to enable me to respond to your call, and therefore I preferred to speak from my seat. I wanted to gather Inspiration from looking in that direction (Indicating the ladles' gallery), Instead rvf that laughter, I could have made a better spec-oh down there, but you bave commaaded

me and 1 obey. Uentiemen or tne united .states, your action to-day has btea superb. Applause. You bave restored all differences existing In the ranks of the Democratic party. You bave healed all tbe dissensions. 'We may march under the division banners of different UentraLs, but we marcn to one battle field to fight one common toe. Applause. Henceforth that man is our f.lend, who best assists In ottrying tbat banner to victory. Tbat man is our enemy and only be who lags In his ducy In that respect. A p:ause. Bat you nave done more, aye, lnnnitely more than to have settled tbe discords of a sta,te: yon have strangled by yonr strong bands to day tbe giant of discord and strife which has domi nated our greater country. Ureat applause. The South an J the North clasp hauds now in no nnmeaaing ceremony, and Hancock shall hear again tne roar cf Hampton's guns in friendly strife. Loul applause All over this land, by the success of this ticket, comes the return or fraternal concord, or brotneriy love of tbe olden glow. You bave restored us to a common Uulon. gentlemen. Upon tbe great marks of prosperity of tbe North, upon the stricken and irapoverisned, upon the giavea where our dead repose and in the homes where the living mourn, there shall fall a ben diction as though It was descen ted direct from Uol. tue benediction ot a just, perpetual, enduring peace. Applause. I can net speak. I only stop to Kay that Sew York has but one response to make to the Democratic nominations. She gives Democratic majorities. Applause. We shall march over that State ss though we were sweeping it wlh a tornado, with Hancock at our head, f Applause. 1 Montank will call to the cataract at Niagara. Everywhere along the route tbe sweeping choru3 of the Democratic voices shall make music for the enti e Natlon.tlll we write on our banner in November öo,uuo ma jority in the name of a united Democracy as tne tribute oi tne Empire btate. Loud applause and cheers. At the close o. his speech J hn Kelly stood up beside him, and the two, with grasped hands and faces covered with smiles, made TUE FORMAL SIGN or reconciliation . The scene was heightened in impresslveness when tbe band struck up "Autd Lang Syne," and waa supported by the ponderous tones of the great organ. SCSAN B ANTHONY was now escorted by Hon. Carter Harrison to tbe stage, who presented, through the Chairman, an address to the Convention In favor of legislation lor woman's suffrage lion. Henry Wattersou, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, was recognized by the Chair, and, after order was restored, proceeded to read THE PLATFORM as follows: The Democrats of the United States In Convention assembled declare: We pledge ourselves anew to tbe Consti tutioual doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party as illustrated by the teaching and example of a long line of Democratic statesmen and patriots, and embodied in the platform of the last National Convention or the party. Opposition to centralization, and to that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate in one, and thus to create what ever form of Uovernment a real disposition, no sumptuary laws; separation of church and state for the good of eacn ; common Bchools fostered and protected. Home rule, honest money, consisting of gold and slver and paper, convertible into oln on demand ; tne strict maintenance oi the public faith. State and National, and a tariff for revenue only. The subordination of the military to the civil p wer, and a genuine and thorough reform of the civil service. Tbe right to a tree ballot is a right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained In every part of the United States. The existing administration is the representative of conspiracy only, and its claim of right to surround the ballot boxes with troops and Deputy Marshals to Intimidate and obstruct the electors, and the unprecedented use of the veto to maintain Its corrupt and despotic power insults the people and Imperils their institutions. We execrate the course of this administration in making places in the civil Bervlce a reward for political crime and demand a reform by statute, which shall make It forever impossible for a defeated candidate to bribe his way to the seat of a usurper by billeting villains upon the people. The great fraud of 1879-7. by which, upon a false count of tbe electoral votes of two States, the candidate defeated at the polls was declared to be President, and for the first time in American history the will of the people was set aside under a threat of military violence, struck a deadly blow at our system of representative government. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the horrors of a civil war, submitted for tbe time In the firm and patriotic belief that the people would punish this crime In 138U. This Issue preceds and dwarfs every other. It inspires a more sacred duty upon the people of the Union than ever addressed the consciences of a Nation of freemen. The resolution of Samuel J. Tilden not again to be a candidate lor the exalted place to which he was elected by a majority of his countrymen, and i.ora which be was excluded by the leader of the Republican party, is reeelved by tbe Denocrats of tbe United states with deep sensibility, and they declare their confidence In his wisdom, patriotism and integrity unshaken by the assaults of the common enemy; and they further assure him tbat he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympathy and respdet of his fellow citizens, who regard him as one who, by elevating the standard of the public morality and adorning and purifying tbe public service, merits the lasting gratitude of his country and his party. Free ships and a living chance for American commerce upon the seas, on the land; no discrimination In favor of transportation lines, corporations or monopolies. Amend menu of the Burllngame treaty; no more Chinese emigration, except for travel, education and foreign commerce, and therein carefully guarded. Public money and public credit for public purposes solely, and public land for actual settlers. The Democratic party Is the friend of labor and tbe laboring men, and pledges Itself to protect him, alike against the cormorants and the commune. We congratulate the country upon the honesty and thrift of a Democratic Congress, which bas reduced tbe pufclio expenditure 40 00l,000a year; upon the continuation of prosperity at home and the national honor abroad, and, above til, upon the promise of ouch a change In tbe administration of the Uovernment as shall insure a genuine and lasting reform In every department of the putrlic service. The resolutions aa read were ÜNANIM0C6LY ADOPTED. A number of telegrams congratulating the Convention on its choice were read.

A delegate from Massachusetts offered a resolution that tbe National Committee be Instructed to provide seals In th next National Convention for delegates, alternates and members of the press, and none others, to the end that the Convention be In all respects a deliberative body. The Convention, by a unanimous vote, tabled the resolution. Mr. Pulltaer, of Missouri, moved to proceed to THE NOMINATION OF A VICE PRESIDENT Agreed to. 1 he call of States for the nomination of candidates then began .and Mr. Pit tin, of Alabama, NOMINATED WM H ENGLISH, of Indiana, in the following appropriate speech: MR PETTIS' SPEECH. Mr. President By the unanimous Instructions of tbe delegates from Alabama, aud by the permission of the delegates from Indiana, Alabama nominates William H. English, of Indiana. Cheers. We have had a glorious day to day. The Federal Array and the Confederate Army have mt on Masou and Dixon's line, as an army. Cheers. Now, there la another principle thst ought not to be forgotten. You have bad a nracce from New kork of the union of tue Democracy there. We have beard from Connecticut; we have heard from New HamoUir.'. Now, gentlemen, aided by these, by ttir women from tbe North, from tne East, from the West and from the South, you have sting together here that grand old question : " -ball auld aoqualntfence be forgot and never brought to mind hall frlnd all trne be remembered not in the days of Auld Lang Syne." Where have we looked for true friends? Where have we had true friends? Wbere do we expect true friends? From the glorlons State of Indiana. Arkansas when called seconded this nomination, and In turn ad tbe remaining States seconded the nomination of English When Indiana was reached Mr. Voorhees seconded the nomination. MB VOORHEES SPEECH.

Mr. President A single word. Indiana baa not been an applicant for the second place npon this ticket, but Is deeply grateful, penetrated by a sense of gratitude forthespoitaneous expression of confidence In one of her ablest and most diet cgulsheU citizens, Mr. EogiUh. I would say to the Convention that Indiana has not hal her place upon tbe Presidential ticket, but If Mi. Engllsk is placed upon that ticket, there will be placd there a native of that sute, of commanding capacity tor aflairs, both public and private, and a man who was never de lea ted when his name was presented before the people for any position, nor will he be defeated now.

The Convention will indulge me for a moment, while 1 group as ter ' n'y a I may the plan of that campaign which. In my Judgment, may make thisj nomination aloost a necessity to the enlargement of tbe majrl:y which we expect for the nominees of this Convention. In lSTtt the Democratie party, a? now and always, taking counsel of its patriotism and its Judgment, planned a campaign which rescued tbe country from its thralldom to a Rf publican majority. In planning that campaign we sought a leadership adapted to the duties of that hour; we sought a leadership which fouud the Democratic party the Lazarus among the parties of this Union; a leadership which found it defeated, dismayed and overthrown In a majority of these Slates; a lesderehip, which, Inspired by genius and judgment, touched that almost dead political body into lite again, so ttuat when the end Cime it arose from discouragement and defeat I , l All n- nt.ui vistn1 sa 1 rititK iui the scepter of power. Now then we bave another campaign to plan. Let us plan this campaign, so far wisely none. Let us plan It to the end as wisely aa that of four years ago. i rise, men, to nominate Tor ine office of Vice President of the United States, don R. M.

I nomi nate Mr. cisnop upon nis recora as a iemoerat hlsiecord as a businessman; I nominate him on that magnificent record, that brave act that in 1877, alter the great fraud of 1374 had discouraged and unnerved the party, he carried the State of Ohio leading an army mat was uiscourageu dv tne loss of Its victory by fraud. He carried the State of Ohio by 23,000 majority. I offer, then, this nominee to tbe Convention, saying that Iowa supports the action of the Convention. Applause.l TELEGRAMS OF COKGRATCLATION. Telegrams were here read from Allen O. Thür man as follows: "Hancock will make a splendid candidate and can be elected." Mr. Voorhees received the following from Thomas A. Hendricks: Hancock is acceptable to Indiana. Delegates should take position for him far in advance." Roll sail waa resumed, and the States from Kansas down to tbe end of tbe roll call either seconded tbe nomination of English or tacitly consented to It. Tne last state called, Wisconsin, waa represented by Mr. Vilos, who took the platform in answer to loud calls. MB. VILCS' SPEECH. Mr. President and Gentlemen or the Convention -1 am deputed by tbe last State upon the list, but by no means the last In the devotion of her Democrats to the principles of tbe party, to express tbe great delight wit h which Wisconsin second s the nomination ofWm.

When the balloting bezan in the Cincinnati Convention this morning groups began to assemble In front of the bulletin boards in the city on which the figures of the votes were displayed. Considerable enthusiasm was manifested as Hancock's growing strength was apparent, and the crowds rapidly grew larger. When his nomination was positively announced tbe result was greeted with loud cheers. Tbe Democracy is eninusiastic over tne result, and salutes of 1U0 guns were fired here and In Brooklyn. A reporter waa present at General Hancock's headquarters, on Governor's Island, when a dipaicn was received announcing bis nomi nation. Captain Wharton, his Aide de Camp, brought him tbe dispatch. His countenance lighted with a smile and the Commander ad Justed bis eye-glasses and looked at the dispatch again.

To a member of the press who had called to see the General on a matter connected with tbe recent military examination, he said: '-Had you called an hour since I might have given you tbe information desired.

The National Democratic Convention for 1S80 has adjonrded sine die. Its acts bave passed into history. Details of the third day's proceedings appear elsewhere in the Sentinel. In ability, in character, in decorum, the Convention waa all that its mpst ardent friends could have desired. From first to last the utterances of the most distinguished men present were each as to add luster to the Democratic party. Every word breathed devotion to Democratic principles, fealty to the Constitution, to the rights of States, and to the rights of the people. Fanaticism had no representatives in the Convention; sectionalism no ad vocates or apologists. There were no champions of narrow partisan prejudices. The supreme demand was the welfare of the country, and all that was done had in view the perpetuity of the Republic, the exaltation of the Constitution with all of its sacred guarantees, tbe harmony of all sections and the prosperity of the Union. The ticket put forth, by the Convention meets every demand. It is a ticket strong in every es sential of confidence. General Hancock is one of the most illus trious men the country has ever produced; aa a soldier, he has been true to every trust; in the list of the brave, none were ever more chivalrous; in council, none exerted a greater influence, and In victory his magnanimity waa equal to every occasion, and crowned him great among the most renowned Captains of the age. A soldier by education and profession, he reveres the Constitution, and proclaims the civil power of the Government superior to the military, and the citizeq superior to the soldier. Indiana will

give him Ler fifteen electoral voUs. In this connection it is well to reproduce the grand words of iir. Daugherty, who presented the name of General Hancock to the Convention. He said: I propose to present to the thoughtful con sid erat Ion of the Convention the name of one who, on the field ol battle, was styled "the su perb" (cheers, yet won tbe still nobler reno wn as a military Governor, whose first act. when in command of Louisiana and Texas, was to salute the Constitution by proclaiming that military rule abaU ever be subservient to the civil powers. (Cheers.) The plighted word of a soldier was proved by acts of a statesman. I nominate one whose name will suppress all factions fcheersl: will be alike acceptable to the North and to tbe South; a name that will thrill tbe Republic; a name, If nominate!, of a man who will crush the last embers of sectional strife, and whose name will be the dawning ofthat day so long looked for the day of perpetual brotherhood among tbe peo ple of America. With him aa our champion we can fling away our shrouds and wage an aggressive war; with him we can appeal to the supreme majority of the Amirioan people against tbe corruptions of the Republican party and tneir untold violations of constitutional liberty; witb bira as our standard -bearer the bloody banner of Republicanism will fall palsied to the ground. Indiana accepts the ticket with that loyalty that has ever distinguished her in the past. Now, as ever, "measures not men" is the motto of tbe rank and file of the Democratic party of Indiana. Casting behind her disappointments, and remembering her struggles only for the glory they shed around her name and the name of the distinguished citizen she has delighted to honor, Indiana, true to her ancient renown, will place her past in tbe keeping of the saored archives of the Democratic party of the State sad of the country, while she goei forward with steady and stately step in support of Hancock and English, the Democratic ticket for the cam paign of 1880. INDIANA. AN OCTOBER STATE. By virtue of the decision of the Supreme Court, Indiana is relegated to an October State in the campaign of 1SS0, and will be, as in 1876, the battle field. There is no disguising the fact. Republican organs assume that Indiana is a doubtful State. They proclaim that they will carry the State in October, and to make their declaration good are training for the fight To meet them, to crush them, to gain a triumph in October and make success certain in November, will require on the part of the Democratic party the most thorough organization, the most harmonous action, the most consummate skill in handling Democratic forces and resources, and the most indefatigable labor. It will not do to make mistakes now. The State ticket is a winning ticket. Its personnel and its moral could scarcely be Improved. It is aboye reproach. It is of the people. It is strong in character and worthy of confidence. The National ticket com grandly to Its support Hancock ard English are winning names. They are men of success, and hence the Democratic party of Indiana enters the campaign for the October fight splendidly equipped. The fight from the start must be aggressive. The Democratic party has nothing to defend. Whitewash is not required. Hon. Franklin Landers and Hon. Isaac P. Gray are men whose characters are without blemish, and the remainder of the State ticket stands equally high. Let the watch fires begin to burn. Let the Democratic army, under its chosen leaders, begin to move on the enemy's works. From the Ohio to the Illinois line, and from the lake to the Ohio, let the battie shout be heard. It is worthy of remark that Blaine organs are now discussing the debt of gratitude due Blaine, of Maine, for saving tbe Republic from the grasp of Grant and his managers. Says the New York Tribune: "The country owes him an everlasting debt of gratitude for bringing to grief the dangerous' scheme of the Grant managers, dangerous to the party and to the country." What was the danger? Nothing leas than the overthrow of the Republic and the establishment of the empire. Every Grant Republican was denounced as a traitor as infamous as the country ever produced. How do the Grant Republicans like it? There Is some probability that the United States will have to take another slice off of Mexican territory. The Government of that sham Republic is too weak to keep its raiding Indians from oommitticg depredations upon citizens of the United States. Already war is justifiable. If Mexico was cut down about one-half,it would be better for herself and her neighbors. THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL.
