Upon the tariff question, h- is decidedly opposed to | the priugiples of the democratic Cin- cinuati platform, which is expressed in a few words, “‘arff for revenue only,” and which, if they mean any- | thing, means a collection of revenue | with no regard whatever to the pro- te.

The committee, formed in & double column with locked arms, and headed by Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky, chairman of the Cincinnati conven- tion, aud ex Senator Jobn Stockton, of New Jersey, chairman of the com- mittee, marched up to General Han- cock’s residence. Mr. English and his eon bad preceded them by an ear- lier boat. The candidates received the committee in the double garlers which were crowded to_overflowing. General Hancock ti ok his place 1 front of the book case, and Senator Stockton addressed hun as follows “General Hancock: I have the honor to introduce to you the Hon, John A. Stevenson, chairman of the Jate democratic national convention, held at Cincinnati, and I have slso the honor to inform you of your nom- ination, your unanimous nominstion, to the oftice of president of the United States. Itis a source of great satis- faction to me, in announcing your nomination, to say that it was not se- cured hy partisan subterfuges, nor by the effirts of - your friends, but through the unawmous voice of the couvention, actusted by motives-of g«lrluulm of a high order. The ave given you your nomioation wit perfect unanimity, and, general, we, the delogates of that convevtion, have returned to our homes, we have seen our constituents, and the demo- cratic ma-ses, and find that they with one accord ratify and approve of the ¢ nvention’s action. And we, too, beliove your election to be an accom- plished fact. We belio ter the election the great principles of American hbarty will still be pre- served. And now, in thename of the great democratic party, by the victue vested in me, as chairman of the com- mittee appointed to apprise you of your nomination, I have the honor to hand to the secretary a communication in writinz, informiug you of the ac- tion of the convention. Becretary Bell then read in a clear toned vaice the formal letter. STAVING OFF THE LEITER. At the conclusion of the readin Senator Stockton handed the official copy to General Hancock, who replied as follows: “*Mr. Chairman sud gentlemen of the comuwittee: 1 appreciate the honor conferred on me by the demo- cratic national convention recently sssembled at Cincinnati. I thaok you for your courtesy in making that “honor known to me. As soon s the importance of the matter perm ts I will propare and send to you a formal acceptance of my nomiuationto the ef- fico of president of the United States.” General Hancock then shook each member of the committee by the hand and received the congratulations of those present.

The fact that for the first time since the organization of our city govern- ment every claim accruing sgainst the city has been, during the fiscal year euding the Ist of July, paid in legal tender currency, over the counter of the city treasurer sa soon as present- ed, and that therefcre there are no warrants issued during the past year which are drawing iuterest, 1 deem everjthing of special noteat this time. For many years city warrants wero s0ld at no little discount for a large T t portion, if not all of each year. Dur- | al ing the last few years, owing to the overlap—which is now substantially wiped out—warrants for the current expemses of seversl latter months o were drawn and piyment and thus endorsed, “Not paid for want of funde.” These war- rauts thereupon drew ton per cent in- t reat, and were, when put upon the macket, bought up by capitalists at par, or nearly par, so that on account of the good credit of the city but little loss haa been, of late years, experi- enced by warrant-holders, It is to be b ped 1hit no_untoward circumstance will arise ducing the fis- cal year upon which we ere just en- tering, which will be ths cause of leaviog the treasury at ths end of the noxt twelve months in less sound con- dition than we now find it, but that we shall then see it paying’ dollar for dollar on demsnd in gold for every debt contracted by the city the same as it is to-dny.
