Our Standard Bearers.

AS announced OH the EAGLE bulle-
tin board, Friday evening, the seventh
ballot taken by the National Republi-
can Convention at Cincinnati. resulted
in the nomination Of the future Presi-
dent Of the United States, in the per-
son of Ohio's favorite citizen, and its
present Governor, the Hon. Rutherford
Il. Hayes.
The EAGLE outfit cannot be accused
of being time-servers, when we say
that this nomination is peculiarly graf
flying 10 us, in that the selection was
our first choice; for we are on the rec
ord, which we could not, if we would,
have denied, had some other person
been nominated. In our issue of April
9TH we published a letter from Col. NJ.
Stewart, formerly one of Gen. Hayes
staff officers, in support of the Cincin-
natl nominee, and referring to that let
ter editorially we said, ''the EAGLE
having several months since announced
conviction, or what might be set
down as preference, for Gen. Hayes,
of Ohio, we give space with pleasure
TO communication this week, from
Col. Stewart, Of this city"
The smoke of the preliminary battle
has cleared away, but at so recent
date that there may be some scars left
in the hearts of those who had other
preferences, but they are not so deep
but they will soon be cured by the sal
vo of prospective triumph of princi-
pie.
The friends of Blaine have especial
reason for disappointment; for in adj
dition to general recognition of his
eminent fitness for the position. his
manly courage, the brilliant achieve
ments of the past few weeks, that
stamped him, in all those qualifications
that manhood admires, the first man
in the Nation. there is consciousness
that he has been unfairly dealt with,
not only by his political enemies, but
even .'in his own household" We can
imagine what source of satisfaction
it would have been for those who ap-
preciated aud admired him, to have
beheld his slanderers involved in the
ruins of the structure they themselves
had built. But those who loved him
best will the most readily follow his
manly example when he telegraphed |
his congratulations, and requested one
of his supporters to go on q special
pilgrimage to the home of the future

Governor Moves, of Ohio, in pre-
senting the name of Governor
Hayes before the Convention said:
''lie is man who is well known and
greatly beloved by Ohio; who, when
treason raised its head, entered the
military service, and until the strug-
gle ended, followed his leader and his
dag. He had defeated successfully
Thurman, Pendlcton and William
Allen; he has got in the habit of beat
ing Democrats, and from force of hab-
it will do it once again if nominated
here. He is brave, honest, unpretend-
ing, wise, sagacious, scholar and a
gentleman. His simplicity of life is a
standing rehuke to the extravaganza
which leads to corruption in a public
or private life. Take him for your
standard bearer, because in him is a
candidate who can carry Ohio, Indi-
ana and New York, as well as all the
rest. Because III him you will have a
candidate on whom all differences can
unite, and because his nomination is
the safest and best for the insurance
of success"
Ben. Wade seconded Hayes nomi-
nation. He is man believed in by all
Republicans, respected by all Demo-
Gratis, and man who will run with
out opposition.

The Topeka Commonwealth is much
ly exercised over criticisms of the
country newspapers on its pet candi-
date for Congress, Tom. Ryan. So far
we have noticed nothing in any of the
papers of this district derogatory to
the character or abilities of MIR. Ryan,
but only general feeling that Brown
is fully as able and worthy, and de-
serves the endorsement of a re-elec-
ton. He has served the people of the
district well and honestly, and accord
ing to the custom with all faithful
officials, should be returned. This we
believe to be not only justice to Mr.
Brown, but for the best interests of
the people of the Third District

In its inception the Republican party
in National Convention pledged itsell
to the determination of those twin
relics of barbarism-slavery and po-
lygamy. 1t redeemed its pledge as to
the former. 1t only wants time to
show that it was in earnest as to the
latter. The thirteenth resolution OF
the platform adopted at Cincinnati
has 10 uncertain sound. 1t asserts
"the right of Congress to prohibit and
extirpate that relic of barbarism, po-
lygamy," and demands legislation to
that effect.

The seventh resolution of the Ma
tional Republican platform is particu-
larly apropos. 1t recommends an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting the application of any public
funds to the support Of sectarian
schools. If this Nation has any one
thing to fear more than another. it is
the prostitutins of national property
and national influence to some particu-
lar religions sect, founded and fostered
over the ruins of the balance. Any
religious denomination that cannot
sustain itself Oh the broad foundation
of Gods commands, and on the tenets
of "Christ and Him crucified," unaid-
ed by the sheckels of our national or
local treasures. ought TO select some
warmer climate for the PRONUNCIATION
of its doctrine-and it probably will
at some future date.
