A dispatch from Albany Wednesday
night says: Governor Tilden passed
the day at the Executive mansion, sur
rounded by the members of his family,
He received but few dispatches from
st. Louis, and sent none there. In the
evening, when the Associated Press
bulletin dispatch, Announcing simply
Ellden nominated on the second ball
lot, was received, it was sent up to the
Executive mansion. There were pres
ent with the Governor Controller Rob

four or five other friends. Mr. Newell
took the dispatch and read it aloud to
the Governor. SIS that SOP" he in

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS ABOUT IT.
Governor Ti'den's nomination Is not
equivalent to au election, for this Pres
'deltlal election is to be one of the
most vigorous and most closely con-
tested that has ever taken place III the
history Of the country. The result is
so doubtful that the canvass will have
all the interest of a game in which the
skill If the players keeps the judg-
ment of the spectators in suspense
The chHnces are so doubtful that putt
lie expectation will be kept on the Yui
rjUc throughout. It is safe to say
that we are entering on one of the
most Interesting, vigorously contested
and doubtful Presidential contests
that has ever taken place since the or
ganizatiOn of the gOvefnment.-N. Y.

THE WORK AT ST. LOUIS.
The democratic convention has
fought bitterly but briefly, and after
filling all the St. Louis bar rooms with
riot for two or three days has placed
an admirable candidate upon a bad
platform, and has now paused for
breath. 1t was wise to nominate for
the presidency its very strongest man.
With new and rising statesman Ike
Governor Hayes its case would have
been hopeless. York Tribune.
FOR THE CoUNTRY's INTEREST.
We care not for the party. but in the
interest of the country this opens
way for escape from evils and dangers
which threaten the republic. The
nomination cannot fail to excite III
every part of the 5untry the most
hearty and hopeful enthusiasm. We
admit no doubt of its success.-NeW

SYMBOL OF REFORM.
Cincinnati gave the nation a candi-
date without purpose, on platform
without a meaning. st. Louis re-
spends with a candidate whose name
is the symbol of reform, upon a plat
form which meaus a peaceful revolu-
ton in the conduct of the govern
ment.-NeaO York World.
CLOSE OF The BANKS.
There will be a revulsIon all along
the center of the country, for the party
IN its wisdom has virtually abandoned
these States. We prefer Tilden to
Hayes, and shall advise the democratic
organizations to stand by the nomi-
nees. The election of Tilden would
signalize the triumph of certain iemo-
cratic principles. We shall feel it our
duty to counsel harmony for the or
ganization of the democratic party. It
mnst be preserved. There is nothing
for the democratic party to do but to
close ranks and move forwatd.-Cin-
c5'anati Enquirer.
REPUBLICAN SATISFACTION.
Whoever may be dissatisfied with
the choice of Tilden the republicans

The nomination means that democrats
have aban nloned in advance all hope
of carrying the October States, and
place their reliance on the solid South,

HOPE FOR THE BEST.
We shall follow the democratic flag
with the democratic platform and the
