THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Gov. Hayes CAPACITY.

NEW YORK, June 19.-[Special to the Boston
Traveller. An intimate friend of Gov. Hayes
says nobody but those on the closest terms with
him understand fully his large capacity for
craftsmanship. He has depth OF nerve and
common sense for which he never received
credit
1t is impossible to get him to talk Of himself,
but with field and the opportunity to show
what he can do, he will rise to the occasion and
answer all the anticipations of his friends. He
resists all attempts to interview. He is not dis
posed to talk much on politics. He believes
the Republican party has not yet performed its
whole mission, and that it would be a calamity
to the country if it failed to fulfill it. OF
Blaine he speaks in the highest terms, and he
has words of eulogy in regard to Conkng,
Morton and Brstow. He says he hopes the
able and experienced men of the Republican
party will sustain him, as he has no idea of
being competent exponent of Republican
| principles In his way he will do his BEST but
he needs all the help the best representatives
OF the party can afford.
MIR. Beecher Oh the Nominations.
Mr.. Beecher has given his views on the Gin
cinnati ticket. He says he is for Hayes and
Wheeler He does not think Hayes will make
a brilliant canvass or would make brilliant
President. He says Mr.. Blaine has developed
a surprising amount of power. he will do all
| in his power to make the ticket success.
Blaine, he says, ought to be in the Cabinet
and not go to the Senate. The Senate is well
which ought not to be rusted in the Senate
Either he should have place in the Cabinet or
go back to the House as the leader. He will
make his mark for long time yet.
Geo. William Curtis's Opinion.
New YORK. June 19.-Geo. w. Curtis said
| last night of the Republican nomination: ITO
my mind it is an inspiring omen and promise
for the future that, at this particular time and
with all the chances which strict party con-
vention offers for less fortunate result, so
| pure and clean a ticket has been offered to the
conntry.'
Grand Ratification Meeting ut Washing
WASHINGTON, June 19.-There was an i'm
mense mass meeting held tonight to ratify the
Cincinnati nominations. Prominent on the

man, Morton, Frelinghuysen and Oglesby, Sec
rotary Chandler, Attorney General Taft, Treas
urer New, Gen. Butler, Rev. DR.. Newman and
very many others prominent persons. Speeches

huysen and Oglesby, Attorney General Taft

bounded appreciation to the nominations. Let
tiers were read from Gov. Jewell, Senator Conk-
| ling. and Secretary Bristow, expressing their
hearty approval of the nominations.
Gen. Butler desired to repel the SANDER up
on Massachusetts,. At the convention one of
| the delegates said they would only vote for one
| man. He would say that they would give a
majority LOT any man nominated al tn6 con-
| vention. The speakers generally alluded to
| their principles in favor of hard money and
Gen, Butler said they could not stop to quarrel
over minor questions of policy.
After adjournment the assemblage proceeded
/ to the residence of Mr.. Blaine, who received
them with intense manifestations of favor and
addressed the crowd, thanking them for the
compliment and heartily joining in their ap-
proval of the nominations.
Washington Opinion.
WASHINGTON, June 19-The numerous Re-
pubicans here who felt sore over the defeat of
Blaine at Cincinnati begin to rally for Hayes
| and Wheeler, and as they hear nothing but
good of this ticket from all parts of the country
they acknowledge that after all, it may prove
the best nomination that could be made,
A prominent Democrat from the South says
this was the shrewdest move ever made. Hayes
and Wheeler will carry Ohio in October, and as
goes Ohio so goes the Union. He thinks the
Democrats should and will take Parker of New
Jersey. who is as unobjectionable as Hayes.
The Sun says it is useless to deny that the
Republicans have formidable ticket, and there
is an absolute necessity for Tilden's nomina-
ton.
