The News from Cincinaati. Unusual interest was displayed in the news from Cincinnati to-day. The builetins at the } Various telegraph offices were surrounded by larger crowds than on apy other days of the convention, and every one earnestly discussed the probabilities of the com!ng ballots. There | seemed to be a prevailing opinion before the re- suit of the second ballot was received that Han- cock was “the coming man,” and this belief w into a certainty at the end of that ballot. ‘he nomination of Hancock is received with great enthusiasm by the democrats, while the republicans regard him as the strongest possl- bie candidate the democrats could have select- ed. General Williamson, of the General Land Office, said to « Stak ies oe that the republl- cans would bave harder work to defeat Han- cock than any other man the convention could have nominated. *‘But,” said he, “if he ts elect- ed the country will be sure of ak as Prest- dent a loyal man.” This view as to Hancock's availability 1s entertained by a great many re- publicans. HOW IT WAS RECEIVED HERE—BANCOCK Tae STRONGEST MAN OF THE PARTY. There were many more people around the places where returns were received to-day than on the preceding days of the convention. The bulletin announcing the nomination of Han- cock was received with cheers. As our politi- clan expressed it, “the republicans admit that Hancock 1s the strongest man who could head the ticket, and the democrats regard hts no-nt- nation as a dispensation of Providence.” To Say that there are elated but mildly puts it. NO BLUNDERS BY THE DEMOCRATS THIS TIVE. The general impression is that the fight to Nevember would be one of the liveliest the ccuutry has ever seen. The republicans ex- ees confidence that Garfield is stronger than ancock and predict his election, while the democrats are certain of Hancock’s victory. Gen. Tyner was met by the Stak reporter as he turned from the bulletin board. In reply to the inquiry, what he thought of Hancock’s nomina- tion, he said: “He is the strongest man they 0 :ld have put up. He is a very strong candi- date, but, not as strong as Garfield. Hancock's nomination is the first action that the national demecracy has taken since the Charleston con- Fe ition, im which they did not make a big Urundcr.” POSTMASTER GENERAL KEY SAID: “The nomination of Gen. Hancock 1s the Strongest they (the democrats) could have mage. He has a good record asa soldier, ‘has no political record to answer for.”” ~~ Assistant Postmaster General Tyner says no Stronger nomination could have been made by the Democratic party. THE ARMY OFFICERS on duty at the War department do not deal much in politics and talk but little about candl- dates and parties. They have, however, but one thing to say about General Hancock: ‘That he 1s one of the finest officers in the — the Lente in the country.

LAST DAY OF THE CONVENTION. Excitement, Heat and Discomfort. CINCINNATI, June 24, 18s), The third day of the convention opened with a scene of excitement not far behind that wit- nessed on the corresponding day of nomination at Chicago, In fact the crowd in front of the convention hall was larger; the feelin quite as intense, while the heat, which was Intensified by a close heavy fog and smoke, added to the uncomfortable general situation. ‘Tee hall was packed with people so closely that they could not move, while the same cloud of smoke that enveloped the builning without filled the dome of it within. The Result of the Numerous Confer- ences curing the night soon made themselves mani- fest in the convention. The abandonment of Payneby the New York delegation and the sub- stitution of Speaker Randail’s name in his place was the next move of the ‘Tilden men to secure control of the nomination, but it did not seem to be very well received.’ Illinois decided to vote for Hancock, provided Morrison was given the second place. The Decisive Ballot_Hancock Nom- inated, ‘The second ballot was then proceeded with amid great excitement. ‘The south-refused to come up tothe Randall boom. The vote of 42 from Iliinois for Hancock was received with long and wild cheering. ‘The New York vote of 70 for Randall was not received with much excitement. The bulk of the enthusiasm came from the hall where the alternates sat. Great interest was manifested, however, to see what Pennsylvania would do with two candidates and her divided si.uation. Senator Wallace was working hard against Randali and for Hancock. The state did not vote, but when called at; the ballot seemed to b2 divided, giving Hancock 31, Randall 26, and Bayard 1. Ohio also held off till the last moment, and finally under instructions voted solidly for ‘Thurman, though there were 26 Randall men in the delegation. Throughout this ballot Han- cock had the galleries with him and probably half the convention. The Randall-Tilden boom, so-called, was at times received with hisses, Oa the floor there was much private congratula- Uons that Payne was out of the way. Hancock of course led on this ballot, the temporary close of which was marked by a transfer to him of Wisconsin’s solid vote, which was received with rounds of applause. ‘This was followed by New Jersey’s solid change to Hancock. ‘Then came a scene of great confusion, the en- tire convention being on_ its feet, the galleriss cheering and hissing. There were shouts of “this 1s Chicago over again.” Wisconsin leads the break and Hancock is nominated. Tennes- See then threw her full vote for Hancock, which Seemed to settle the result, for the convention and galleries cheered and yelled and made every other possible demonstration of applause and excitement, Chaos Come Again. It took the fifty sergeants-at-arms and all the police to secure order so that out of chaos the real vote of the second ballot might be om- clally announced. In the meantime New York endeavored to stem the tide, but yielded and changed to Hancock, though the confusion ‘Was s0 great few seemed to know. endeavored to v1 Indiana, but it seemed to have no McDonald. It isagreed that New Kone et to Randall forced Hancock’s nomination. Capture of the Indiana Banner. ‘The banners of the delegations were marched over tothe Pennsylvania side and waved for five minutes, amid a din onl: aralleled by the break at Chicago. nly" Indiana refused to carry its banner, of ti lon hold- ing on to it out of devotion to Hendricks. Finally a fight ensued, the ‘was torn Auaiels Geer Gueehe wi Tushed out the distusbers ee The Figures, After half an hour’s shouting, order was re- stored and the ballot was called over again to See if 1t had been taken correctly.

It was not until this time that the nomina- tion was made unanimous, the band leading off with “Dixie” and Yandee Doodle. Music in the Air. The organ at the other end of the vast hall also joined In the Star Spangled Banner and My Country ‘tis of Thee, completely drowning the confusion and softening the intensity of the scene. Voorhees Preglicts Victory. ‘When the music ceased Mr. Voorhees addressed the convention, predicting victory in October and November. Indiana, which was the only delegation that held out solidly to the last. moved to make the nomination unanimous. Tilden went out of the convention on the official record on jyst one solitary vote. Reconciliation of the New York Democracy. The concluding feature of the ratification Meeting was the complete reconciliation of the New York democracy in the presence of the assembled national convention. Joun Kelly first spoke and pledged a united democracy for Hancock,and Fellows responded for Tilden in a similar pledge. The Tammany delegation proposed three cheers, to which the convention loualy respond- ed. The solid southg smiled and everybody seemea hot and happy. Kelly and Fellows shook hands and the band and organ played “Auld Lang Syne,” the convention joining in the euo. Tus. Congrauiation and Jubilation. Telegrams from Hemdricks and other leading democrats all over the country have been re- cetved here, thoroughly endorsing Hancock. The usual salutes are firing all over the west. Alabama nominated English, of Indtana, for Vice President, and several of the other states foliowed, leaving no doubt of his nomination on the first ballot. The Platform, At half past one the convention got down to quiet again, and the committee on resolutions reported the platform. One feature of it did not suitthe Pennsylvanians, as it declared for a tariff for revenue; it favors a revision of the Burlingame treaty and the exclusion of the Chinese. It was adopted without debate. English Nominated for Vice Presi- dent by Acclamation. It appearing that all the states but one placed in nomination William H. English, o Indiana, for Vice President, he was declared nominated by acclamation. The votes of Now York and Pennsylvania for him were received with cheers, Adjourned Sine Die. The convention, after some routine busines, adjourned sine die. The District o1 the National €om- attee. Ata meeting of the territorial delegates, Win. Dickson, vice president, and Albert A. Wilson, secretary, it was decided to have the following offer “Resolved, In the appointment of the national democratic ‘executive committee, one member shall be elected from the District of Columbia, and one member to be selected from and wio shall represent the interest of the several terri- tories.” GW.

Dr. Taylor, of the Methodist Episcopal church south. H= prayed for that unanimity and harmony fn the convention so needful to accomplish the pi- triotic end which {t had in view: that individ ual members might lay aside thetr personal pre- dilections for the highest welfare of the whole nation; that the choice of the convention migut result in the election of a man of enduring cha- racter, blameless in life, unsullied in reputation and of exalted patriotism, and that the persons elected might be brought to occupy their place=. Tilden’s Renunciation. Mr. Peckham, of New York, rose to make a Statement on behalf of the New York delegi- tion. He said that that delegatioa had heard with great emotion—(Cries of “platform,” and he took the desk.) The delega- tion heard with great emotion the votes giver yesterday for the honored statesmen of New York, 8. J. Tilden. (Great applause.] The chair rebuked the interference with th? proceedings by outsiders and promised it would ask the convention to preserve order at any and all hazards. Mr. Peckham resumed: The delegation had received a letter from Mr. Tilden. in which he renounced himself as a candidate for nomina- on. Knowing him to be honest in purpose and action, we accept his letter as a re- hunclation of all claim and all candidacy. He now presented the letter for such action as the convention desire, but the delegation have this morning agreed upon another candidate, and he named Speaker Randall [Applause.} Refusal to Hear Tilden’s Letter Read. The chair asked if the convention would have Tilden’s letter read. Cries of “yes” and “no,” but on a viva voice it was decidea no, Religion in Politics. Mr. Thomas, of Kentucky, offered a resolu- . tion denouncing as unconstitutional and un- republican any state law affecting a citizen on account of religious or non-retigious view: ferred, = ee ‘The Second Ballot. While the second ballot was peng taken, Mr. Hull stated that in obedience to instruc- Uons, they cast 42 votes for Thurman. Another Ohio delegate denied his right to announce the vote, and said the delegation are now consulting ag to how Ohio's vote would be cast. [Cheers.j Obio, when again called, gave 44 for Thurman, Before the official vote was announced Wis- consin asked permissien to change its vote. (Cries of “agreed” and some noes.} Somebody raised a question of order that the vote could not be changed. The gavene agreed to it, and Wisconsin cast for Hancock votes, [Great cheers.) A Scene of Great Confusion. . There was now a scene of contusion. New Jersey changed to Hancock 18. Immense cheering long continued and great contusion, which the chair vainly tried for several minutes to Sates ‘The chairman of Pennsylvania Tose finally, and said Pennsylvania, proud of her sons—both of them—one a great soldier,and the other an able eminent statesmen, would gladly vote for either, and then he changed her whole vote to Hancock, [immense cheers and excitement.) A great portion of the audience and conven- tion rose, cheering, waving banners, fans, and tossing hats. Hancock's banner was brought to the front of the platform amid great enthust- asm. The band are playing “Hall to the Chief.” | The small banners of ‘states voting for Hancock are brougiit forward to salute Han- cook’s large banner. V.rginia eae solid to Hancock.

[Cheers] He con- gratulated the convention on the harmony which had marked the proceedings. The nomi- Dation made was strong and would bricg a vietory. It would bring Pennsylvania back to the democratic roll. It was one that would be Satisfactory to the party and American people. (Cheers.] He pledged his earnest and constant efforts until victory crowns the work on the November Tuesday. If the people should rati- fy their choice Hancock would be inaugurated.

He, too, pledged Pennsylva- nia to place herself in Nevember next in the democratic column. Wade ee ee ted the Solid ou tie In response to loud calls Wade Hampton ad- vanced to the platform and said in behalf of the Solid south, which was once arrayed against the gallant soldier, he pledged to him Its solid vote. There was no name held in higher re- spect in the south than thatof the man who had now been made the standard bearer of the democratic party. Hancock was one of the first after the war was over to exert his tofuence for restoration of the southern people to their civil rights. He pledged South Carolina to give as large a majority as any democratic state in the Union. Judge Hoadley Pledges Ohio. Judge Hoadley, for Ohio, seconded the motion to make General Hancock's nomination unani- mous. Victory in Ohio in name meant a unant- mous vote in November, and Ohio democrats expected to win that October victory. The con- ¥ention had commanded Ohio to take the Gar- tleld gun, and they would try. t ‘The action of to-day was worthy of that otuer day, on which the declaration of independence was signed by John Hancock.

Then came “ My Country, "Tis of Thee,” to the tune “ America,” rendered in the saine man- ner.

Mr. Voorhees, of Ind., spoke: He said that though somewhat sore-hearted, the Indiana cemecracy would do her duty in supporting the nominee of thisconvention. They had hoped to follow their own gallant leader tn this cam- paign, but they would follow, with cheerful- ness, the gallant leader who had been given to He referred to the confederate brigadier enerals, of whom £0 much had been heard. He knew them and Hancock knew them, and they knew that they could rely upon them to assist In upholping the constitution and rights of the people under them. He eulogized Han- cock’s course in uplifting down-trodden civil of the war, making a second declaration of independence—a second declaration of the consitution. He was worthy of their confidence, in war and peace, and with him they could safely trust the institutions of the country. Mr. Faulkner, of N. Y., spoke briefly, bat could not be understood. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky. In response to loud calis Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, came forward and said they had to- day turned the swords into pruning hooks with which they would reap the harvest of victory next November. They had shown that they were again a united people, and know no nort }, no south, no east, no west. (Cheers.) They had put in nomination here to-day aman who had given his blood for the Union. It was a na- Uonal candidate whose name they put out, to- day in the name of the democratic party. Kea- tucky always voted the democratic ticket, bi he asl What say the doubtful states. He asked New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecti- cut, New Jersey, Mlinots, and Iudiana if they could carry this ticket in triumph, and each r spanned affirmatively amid applause. In con- clusion he invoked the God of battles to give the democratic party a triumphant victory. (Great Applause. ” great cheering, cocl Tammany Cheered. At this point the Tammany men, led by Kel- ly, and Schell, entered the hall, amid great cheering, and were greeted with muste by the organ. The confusion and excitement contin- ued several minutes before it could be quelled Kelly Buries the Hatchet. Kelly proceeded to the platform and was greeted with a lively Irish air by the band, and there was great calls for him. The Tammany men who Came to the platform with Kelly were Aug. Schell, Amasa J. Parker, George C. Green, and Samuel North. The chair said it gave him great pleas- ure tO announce to the convention that its action to-day had united the great democracy of New York; also, that the contestants from that state had come here to give in their ailegiance, He introduced Kelly, who was received with great applause and some hisses, Kelly said it Was true that Hancock’s nomination had united the democracy of New York. Though they had been fighting bitterly for five years, let pasi differences be now banished forever. [Cheers.} Never again would he refer to what had trans- dred in the past, either here or in the state of New York. He disavowed ever having been actuated by personal feeling, though Tn the anxiety of political contests they sometimes sald things of each other for which in more sober moments they were to ask forgiveness of each other. New York could not be carried except by unity in the democratte party, and now that this had been secured he felt it safe to promise that New York would give her elect- oral vote to the ticket made here. Hancock was not only a great soldier but a statesman as well, a gentleman whom nothing can be said. [Cheers] In conclusion he said to the New York delegates sitting in convention let us return to our homes, organize our party and let him who shall first refer to the troublesome and discordant past be denounced as a traitor. (Great applause,] For himself he promised to do all in humble = for the success of the democratic ticket. Turning to the New York delegates he said: Let us once for all take each other by the hand. We have a great duty to perform together. Let us do it with one heart and voice. [Applause.} Mr. Fellows to the Front. Mr. Fellows, of New York, came forward in response to but was so hoarse as to be very indistinct. He commended to-day’s ac- ton as superb.
