Altogether the nominations are satisfac
tory for while they do not give us our
preference, they are so infinitely superior
in all respects TO anything that could come
out o. the regular Radical organization, that
we are content to relnquish our predelic-
tions and yield an honest SUPPORT to the
nominees.

certain, if the Democratic party are wise

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN
NOMINATIONS.
VIEWS OF THE SOUTHERN PRESS.
IRichmond Dfspatch.l

This ticket, then,wEile not one that South
ern people might have named, had they
the power to elect those they might name,
is one that is liberal to them and one that
may be elected. The question is, Shall
there be an effort to elect another, by which
the reelection of Grant would be insured
Should the Democratic party nominate a
ticket, the result would be either to re-
unite the Repu blican party by the with
drawal of the Liberal ti:ket or to defeat
that ticket and prolong the dominion of
the men under whose administration OF
the Government we have suffered so greatly
and the Constitution las been so often
violated. We can hardly think it possible
that step so idle, so certainly to end in
disaster, will be taken. 1t would be the
supremest folly.
Therefore, although the ticket is not
ours, with a smile at the singnlarity Of the
situation, let us take honest old Horace
and the gallant defender of Liberalism
elect them we shall feel that we have done
admirably well in escaping the prolonged
misrUle Of ultra RepublcaniSm.

They did not ask for a Democrat on the
ticket, but they desired a man whose re-
cord was not so obnoxious to their pOliti-
cal prejudices as both Of the candidates I'M
doubleday are yet, as if to show their utter
dislike for anything i'll the shape Of De-
mocracy, and their settled purpose to ig-
more that party entirely, a bargain is struck
by which two of the most obnoxious Re-
publcans, bitter and lifelong enemies of
| the Democratic party-One a strong pro-
tectionist and abolitiOnist, and the other a
Kentucky emancipationist and Southern
renegade-are placed upon ticket for
them to vote for and elect. Here is where
! the sting comes in. They were content to
| take Republican Of the liberal stripe of
/ Davis, and with him might b ave been sat
! istied with Greeley as Nice-PTesident, or
| Brown, but to be thus openly and detialltly
| insulted and scOrTed is more than Demo
cratic nature can tamely submit to, and
we therefore fear the worst.
We regret this exceedingly because in
the South we are ready to make almost
any compromise that viii insure us a vic
| tory over the Radical party and rescue us
from bayOnet rule; anu We believe Greeley
aud Brown would he as good instruments
for our redemption as any that could be
| selected, but they seem so disCasteful to
the Northern Democracy that we fear there
will be great difficulty III rendering them
| acceptable by that party. a reaction may
take place, but we cannot conceal our ap
prehensons that " hat We look upon as the
very strongest ticket for tie South is likely
to prove the weakest at the North. Hop
ing for the best we shall await the action
of the Conservative party Of Virginia, aut
be governed entirely by its decision.

bore the appearance of having been
badly used. His hat was gone, his
clothes soiled, and his face dirty and
disfigured with wounds. Dropping pro-
