THE CONVENTION AND ITS
WORK.
Views of the Republican Press
of the State.
A GOOD PLATFORM.


A GOOD PLATFORM.
Cleveland Hersld.
We are not great admirers of plat
form carpentry in general, but the Re
publican platform constructed at Co
lumbus, on Wednesday, was very
satisfactory piece of work, and will af
ford our candidates very firm footing
A HEAVY MAJORITY PROPHEsIED.
Cleveland Leader.l
"Gov. Hayes" will sound natural
again. The people who elected him
over Pendleton six years ago will now
rally to his support to man, aud roll
him up heavier majority than they
gave him when he ran against the man
who modestly asked tine publicto 'for-
get his past record
TO BE BACK IN HIS OLD PLACE.
Cleveland Herald
There is no question whatever but
that Hayes will have to resume his old
place at Columbus, and give fresh oc-
casion for the remark that he is lone OF
the best Governors Ohio ever had"
A NoMINATIoN THAT WILL BE
INDORsED.
Delaware Gazette.
Throughout the proceedings every
allusion to Hayes drew forth the most
rapturous applause, which, toward the
close of the balloting, eliminated in
enthusiastic demonstrations seldom
witnessed in an assemblage of the kind
ali which indicates the popularity of
the choice made, and presages the en-
thusiastic ardor with which it will be
indorsed by the Republicans of the
State.
THE BEST TICKET EVER PRESENTED.
Ohio State Journal.
We have the best State ticket, take
it all through, that has ever been pre-
septed to the people of Ohio.
Hayes's nomination was the result of
one of those popular uprisings which
are irresistible in their power. Hayes
honestly fought off the nomination, but
there was crisis calling for man, and
the popular voice pointed overwhelm-
ingly to Hayes as the man.
The whole ticket is simply perfect.
1t restores confidence, and gives the
Republican party conviction of glori-
Gus victory. They feel it in their bones.
CERTAIN AND GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Sandusky Register
The unanimity and enthusiasm with
which Hayes was nominated are, how
ever, sufficient evidence of his strength
and popularity throughout the State,
and is cheering earnest OF a certain
and glorious victory over the Democra-
cy in Ohio next October. With Hayes
as their standard bearer, the Republi-
cans have one OF the best and purest
men Ohio can produce, 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. The
people will honor themselves and pro-
mote good government by electing
Rutherford B. Hayes and the entire
Republican ticket this fall.
ENTHUSIASM PREsAGEs VICTORY.
Toledo Commercial.
Our dispatch indicates somewhat of
the feeling and enthusiasm which pre-
vailed at the convention. Such feel
ing of deep concern, as well as enthusi-
astic interest, has not been witnessed
for many years-probably not since the
people were aroused at the proposition
to put upon them Vallandighsm for
Governor. And this feeling continued
to the last. The ratification meeting
seems to have been simply an ovation.
Judge Taft indorsed the work of the
convention, and the good feeling was
marked to the close. Who doubts that
full and complete victory is presaged
by yesterdays work?
