Comments of the Press.
[Colnmhns Ionrnnl-Ren.l |

Columbus Journal-Rep.
We have the best State Ticket, take il
all through, that has ever been presented
to the people of Ohio. The
whole ticket is simply perfect. It re-
stores confidence, and gives the Repub-
lican party conviction of glorious vic
tory. They feel it in their bones.
Our opinion of the platform re-
quires but one sentence: It is the best
platform as q whole ever adopted by q
political Convention in Ohio.
Cincinnati Gazette-Rep.
We can give to General Hayes an un-
reserved support, in the confidence that
he is a capable and faithful standard
bearer for the principles of the Repub-
are clear and sufficient. The whole tick
ct is one which Ohio Republicans can
heartily support.
Cincinnati Times-Rep.
In the admirable character of the Re
publican Convention assembled at Col
umbus, yesterday; in the enthusiasm
with which its work was hailed; and in
the unanimous burying of personal diff
ferences which followed the result, there
lies glorious promise for the success of
the party in the coming fight.
Sandusky Register-Rep.
With Hayes as their standard bearer,
the Republicans have one of the best and
'purest men Ohio can produce, a man
whom the people have tried, and whose
record in war at the head of the soldiery,
and in peace as the Chief Executive Of
the State, is without a spot or blemish.
Toledo Commercial-Rep
Such a feeling of deep concern, as well
as enthusiastic interest, has not been wit
messed for many years--probably not
since the people were aroused at the
proposition to put upon them Vallan-
bingham for Governor.
Toledo Blade-Rep.
We are satisfied from the expression
of yesterday Convention that the choice
of Governor Hayes as the standard bear
er of the Republican party is at this
time calculated to subserve the best in
terests of the party, as his election next
fall is calculated to subserve the best
interests of the State.
Akron Beacon-Rep.
As a whole we are rejoiced at the out
come of this Convention. We believe
the ticked will be triumphantly elected.
Clear, concise and out-spoken ON all
the vital questions of the day, cannot
but be the universal verdict of those
who read the Republican platform
adopted at Columbus yesterday.
Mount Vernon Banner-Dem.
Whatever the Republicans may do
they have effectually squelch-
I'd the Third Term business in Ohio.
TSteubenville Herald-Rep.
Now what is our duty 1t is to close
1P our ranks, heal all divisions, and Or
yanize completely for the fall campaign.
Dur platform and candidates are tower
If strength, but negligence and apathy
nay counteract all the benefits to be de- |
lived from both. The fact may as well |
De recognized that the Republicans are
lot to regain the State without strug-
gle, but by reasonable effort it can be |
lone. The party has no dead weights
% carry this fall, while on the other
land the Democracy have the two years
nisrule of partisan and corrupt gov
,rnment to answer for. If we mistake
lot Ohio will give majority for the Re
oublicans next October that will remove
III doubts as to her political positions.
Utica Herald-Rep.
The Republicans of Ohio have done
heir work quickly and we'll. They have
nominated an excellent State ticket, and
in a spirit of harmony that will be po-
tent for good throughout the canvass.
They have made platform upon which
Eastern Republicans can stand cordially
with their Western brethren.
New York Tribune-Ind.
The Republicans of Ohio yesterday
dominated the Hon. Rutherford B. |.
Hayes for Governor in spite of that gen
leman's refusal to be candidate against
Judge Taft. The third term resolution
caves no doubt as to the position Of the
party in Ohio on that question, and
wisely omits any reference to the late re-
letter of the President.
New York Times Rep.
The Republicans of Ohio enter upon
lhe canvass for State officers with good |
candidates and a sensible platform.
New York Herald-Ind.
With regard to the nomination of |
Gen. Hayes for Governor of Ohio it is |
the best that could have been
made. He is young, earnestand popular.
In the field he won reputation for gal
antry of which his State may well be |
proud. In Congress he earned recog-
lition for purity which will serve him in |
good stead at time when so many pub |
ic men are not above suspicion.
Detroit Post-Rep.]
The whole ticket nominated by the
Ohio Republicans is good and strong |
1ne, and we expect il to be elected. The |
platform adopted is well calculated to
and invigorate the party. |
With, perhaps, the exception of one or
TWO expressions, it is platform which
should be as highly acceptable in any
other State as in Ohio. The plank re-
yarding the public schools is purely con-
1t makes no attack upon any
religious denomination; and its language
cannot be tortured into anything of the
kind. 1t simply proposes to preserve
our American institutions as they are and
always have been, and defend them
against any attack from any quarter
The position taken is purely defensive, |
not an offensive one.
Pittsburgh Commercial-Rep.
Certainly no Republican Convention
ever gathered in Ohio in a better tenn
per, and none ever displayed a more res
1lute spirit. There was a firm deter
in the minds of the delegates
% rescue the State from the disgrace of
Democratic rule, and a serene conf.
lence in their ability to accomplish that
