The New York Herald.
1 NEW YORK, July 10.-The Herald be-
lieges the Democrats at Baltimore made
the wisest nomination in their power, and
welcomes the straight, square issue pro-
posed by Grant and Greeley. It says, the
Herald hitherto supported Grant and his
administration, and sees no reason yet to
| wholly condemn OF abandon them. There is
yet time for Grant to avail himself of bis
great popular strength and stay the tide
against him by cutting loose from his sur
roundines and adopting a policy of
his own. The administration cannot
| afford defeat in a single state election,
and should commence its reforms before
the first of August. The people evidently
desire change in our national affairs and
| would rather accept it. at Grants hands
than at the hands of another. Will he re-
fuse them what they have right to demand?
The New York Tribune.
The Tribune of tomorrow says of the
| Baltimore nominations:
"The Democratic party has gained a
| triumph over itself which is worth more
than any material advantage which can ever
| be reaped at the polls. The blind
| guidance of the past ha sheen cast aside.
The honest and incorruptible masses
| of that great historical party have tiker-
| into their own hands the work Of their
| own redemption. With no less magnanim-
| ity than sagacity, they have burst away
| from the thraldem of old traditions
and worn out prejudices, and while
sacrificing no essential principles, they
have planted themselves upon a plat
form of liberality and reform wide
enough to embrace all honest and
| patriotic men, and progressive enough
| to secure the future. No broader or simp-
Ter creed was ever promulgated, liberty,
honesty and peace against centralizing cor
ruption and perpetual var. To fail with
| such cause would be glO-
ry and gain; to succeed with
it will be the greatest political victory ever
achieved for the cause of a good govern
ment, and the greatest moral victory ever
gained for the cause of peace and good will
among men.
The Philadelphia Age.

received here by the Democrats with gene
raj satisfaction. The COTier-J Journal to-
morrow, in an editorial, says the Conven-
| ton rose above mere party, and throwing
| ancient prejudice to the winds. did what
patriotism required. 1t hopes all who call
| themselves Democrats will now enter
| heartily into the support of Greeley and
Brown, and those who are worthy Of the
! name will do it as Democrats. No other
| course is left them. Before the nomination
they had a right to oppose Mr.. Greeley.
After it, as party men, they have none.
We do not claim Greeley and Brown to be
Democrats. With unexampled self abne-
CATION the Democrats have given both plat
form and candidates to their allies.
