have been its eccentricitles since the
death Of Horace Greeley. is yet a great
paper. and is power in the land:
THE TICKET.
The action Of the Cincinnati ConYen-
ton was something Of a surprise, but il
will command the approval Of large
majority of Republicans, and the ticket
will have the cordial support Of the
whole party. Gov. Hayes is q man OF
whom il is impossible to say . word Of
evil. Personally be il not only above re-
proach, but above suspicion. There are
no dark corners in his history which
need investigation or have ever set the
tongue Of scandal wAgging. He has been
q distinguished soldier, an incorruptible
Congressman, an able and popular Gov
ernor. Outside Of Ohio he has been al
most unknown until very recently; but
the high regard in which he !, held by
his own people is the best testimony 70
his private character. The Tribune GER
tainly, which supported him so siren
uously when he was fighting his gallant
fight for hard money against the Allen
and Cary madmen last year, can find no
fault with his nomination now. The
Liberals and Independent Reformers
who lent all their strength TO his canvass
in 1875 will sustain him in the trials Of a
broader but easier field. The reform ell
emert Of the party will feel that its just
demands have been consulted in his
nomination; and those who believe in
good money will see in his name a better
pledge for speedy resumption than any
resolutions Of a Convention could give,
and an ample compensation for the
vagueness Of the platform.
Mr.. Wheeler. like Gov. Hayes, - a
sound Republican IRON conviction and
not from the love Of Office Like Gov.
Hayes, also, he is thoroughly and con-
spicuously honest man, to whom invest
igatiOn can bring no embarrassment, but
only brighter credit While he is in full
accord with his party, he is remembered
with honor by the Independents for his
admirable conduct in the Louisiana in
vestigation and the dignihed and tenn
perate report in which he rebuked the
errors of the Administration in dealing
with that unfortunate State. His name
is the very strongest that could have
been chosen for effect in New-York.
:. The combination indeed is one Of the
most formidable that have been suggest
ed on either side. aud although il cannot
be said that the course is entirely clear
while the Democracy have yet to be
heard from, IL seems almost certain that
Hayes and Wheeler are to be the officers
inaugurated next March. Mr.. Blaine
has made . magnificent fight and has de-
yeloped qualities Of leadership Of which
no other candidate has shown = sign.
Convinced that he had been most unjust
ly attacked, The Tribune supported him.
and the extraordinary scenes when his
name was mentioned at Cincinnati
showed that he controlled not merely
the support but the sympathies Of very
large section Of the Republican party.
But his most ardent friends must now
admit. first, that he had bitter enemies
in his own party; and secondly that his
campaign, II he had been nominated
would of necessity be defensive one.
There are no such objections to Messrs.
Hayes and Wheeler. They represent con-
ciliation and cordiality within the party.
They will unite all the hitherto Earring
factions, and enable even BristoT men
and Conkling men 10 march TO the polls
together. The Convention moreover
has shown great sagacity in considering
the question Of locality. The nomlnA-
tion Of Gov. Hayes secures the largest OF
the October States, whose vote must in
huence all the rest in November, and the
selection of Mr.. Wheeler does all that 10
possible to appropriate the vote Of New
York. The Democrats will find IL al
most impossible to make q more popular |
ticket; We shall be glad TO see them try /
TO make better one
