Atlast the long agony - regards
The Republican noninAtlsus sovcr,
aud the oountry Tor the moment
breathes freer. The telegraph brings
the tidings tina. Governor Rutherford
Il. HAYES Of Ohio was nominated for
President on the seventh ballot, re-
>iving 384 votes and Hon. W "A
Wheeler Of New York for Vie
President on the first formal ballot.
The result is doubtless surprise
TO many, md yst - regards - un-
probability Il just ID accordance
With what was TO havsbsen expected
and what Was prophesied even by
Blaine, the most prominent Of the
cau.liasses. himself. Governor Hayes
WAS advocated to some extent for
the Presidency, lslt not to any de
gree Of prsmiaency. Mr. Whsslss,
~ far A. previous expectation WAS
CONCERNED, il still more clearly enti-
tied to the distinction Of being the
veritable "Grest Unknown" about
whose identity the public has been
70 much exercised for the past few
months.
The number Of votes cast IN con-
ventisu was s54, Of which 80 were
requisite 70 aehoicc. On the fsst
lAllot Hlaine resolved 26b, Norton
124, Bistow ll3, Conkling 80,
Hayes 81. Hartrapft So, Jewell IL,
Wheeler
On the second ballot, Blaine re-
csived 29s, Brstow ia, Morton

tfsnft %, Wheeler 3, Washburne l..
On the sixth ballot the vote stood,
blaine 3Oa. Hayes ia. Rristow III.

When the sevent ballot Was held,
Harlan Of Kentucky, withdrew the
na,nesofs hs4ow and CnnhAch Of
In,lians. that. of Morton. The re-
suit was u general combination upon
Hayes and Blaine who received S84
aud 85s votes respectively.
Governor Hayes made something
q a,military record during the Var,
rising to the dignity Of . brevet
Brigadier General, and afterwards
served in Congress- N a Representa-
tive from Ohio. His national repu.
tation. however, rests upon his cam
