The Republican Nominees.

The secret Of Gov. Hayes nomination
is that having antagonized none of the
rival candidates, he attracted support
from all when they were dropped. lie
has been regarded as a moderate partisan,
but is TO be judged by the platform on
which he stands, and that is the Guintes-
gence u malignant sectionalism. Besides
he was the candidate for Governor Of the
demagogues vino introduced religious
tests into the Ohio canvass, and sought
TO build up party upon the basis Of in
tolerance,
". a. Wheeler, Of New York, the
nominee for Yiee-President, belongs 10
The class Of mediocrities and was taken
in preference to Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, of that State, a man Of positive
character and statesmanlike qualities.
As far as heard from, tie ticket has
excited but little enthusiasm.

Tsae ST. I4omis invention

The Cincinnati proceedings point the
way for the Convention at ST.. Louis.
Cincinnati has nominated a cross-road
politician from The West-St. Louis must
nominate a statesman from the East.
The Empire State with he's thirty-fve
votes, together with New Jersey and
Connecticut certain, and probably
Maine, New Hampshire and Massachu-
sets, will be secured by The pomination
of some such man as TiIden of New
York, Bayard of Delaware, Parker of
New Jersey, or Hancock Of Pennsylva-
MIA. Cincinnati DECLARES for sectional
strife ST. Louis must declare iOr
peace. The country is tired of war.
Cincinnati has desecrated religion by in
Producing it into politics-St. Louis
must set It's face against the ssGrilege,
and enter its solemn VOW to defend the
constitutional guarantee that no law
shall be made respecting the establish
ment of religion OF the free exercise
thereof. Cincinnati declares for re-
opening the wounds caused by the war
S.. Louis must declare for healing them
Cincinnati by its endorsement of the
Grant Administration pledges itself
against eradicating The abuses which
have fourished under its protection
St. Louis must adopt ringing platform
its candidates, its party, and
all its influences to Reform liz the broad
est and truest acceptaiion of the term.

Congressional Nominations

We have placed at the head of our
columns the names Of H. ID. Money, for
the 81 District. and 0. II. Singleton, for
the 4th District-both having been regu-
Iarly nominated as candidates Of the
Democratic party. The rest will be per-
formed by the sovereign people, who will
ratify the nominations ut the polls.

THE name Of our esteemed confrere,
Col. Melancihon Smith, of the Star Of Pas
caeoula, was uniatentionally omitted from
the list of journalists al the late Conven-
ton. This, OF itself, is immaterial but
the fact furnishes Us the occasion which
we had sought of saying that there Is no
member Of the press whom We hold in
higher esteem than the gallant editor Of
the Star. lie welded 4 bright sword in
the war, and he wields no less vigorous
and trenchant pen for the right in peace.
The New York World, which had
been bought over by the anti-Tilden
interests in New York, has yielded 10 the
pressure in behalf of the great Reformer,
and virtually declared in his favor. Its
latest deliverance is to the effect that ''it
- is iacontestible that 1ilden stands out
q clearly as the candidate Of New York
- before tue Democratic party outside |
& the limits of the State :" and that she
q ncIds the position egitimately, in virtue
q of his atieial station and Of the great
q work Of reform with which his name
g became Identified"

chance for the crew of the Inflated

that they probably persisted within
an hour or so after the wrecking
of the vessel, as he there learned
that the vessel had a hole in her,
and that she was sunk clear to the
waters edge, with the waves break
ing over her at every dash. No
traces of any OF the bodies or the

Visit THE SCOOPS. parents
owe duty to these institutions be-
yond merely sending their children
to them, we produces the following
wholesome advice from an ex-
change: "The teachers want your
cooperation. The scholars need
the encouragement Of an occasional
visit. If parents talk to their Chit
dren at home freely about their
schools, it is well if they visit the
school-room occasionally and seem
interested in making a pleasant
thing of learning, it is much better.
The presence of a father or another
at the child's recitations once y
month will have a salutary effect on
both teacher and child Even the
