Hancock Nomination Caps Democratic Convention in 1880
Hancock wins the Democratic Party nomination after a heated convention filled with marching bands and speeches. Delegates rally behind Hancock as Bayard and Morrison falter, with John Kelly and New York reconciliation boosting unity. Hampton, Randall, and Watterson push the platform defending civil rights, reform, and loyalty to Tilden, while English secures the vice presidential nod.
