The Nominations.

The Nominations. ...o
1t is well known that the STAR is not
committed to any party or political fac
ron whatever. We know, however,
that the people are everywhere inquir-
ing among themselves as to how the
nominations of HAYES and WHEELER
are received by the country. We there
fore condense from many sources the
general expressions, and present them
as items of news;
The MY. Tribune is. .non-committal, but
says the ticket is a strong one, and forces
the Democracy to nominate a better to
succeed.
The N. Y. Times, the leading Republi-
can paper OF that city says: "rhe Re
publican party has found its Lincoln to
lead it on to victory"
The NY. Commercial Advertiser says:
1--WE call the ticket an excellent one.
Like its platform it represents the very
heart and spirit and splendid antece-
dents Of the Republican party"
A dispatch from Augusta, Maine, says:
The Cincinnati nominations are
strongly indorsed by Blaine's own State.
Though disappointed, the press are
strong tor the ticket, deeming it strong
one."
The Chicago Tribune says: "The in
dications from all parts of the country
are that the Cincinnati ticket Of 'Hayes
and Wheeler has struck the average
sentiment better than any other combi-
nation that could have been made"
The San Francisco Call says: "W e
regard this as a strong ticket. The NOM
inatlon OF Hayes will consolidate the en-
tire Republican party. The country has
heard less of him than of Blaine, Nor
only good OF him. We do not know a
prominent man with more impregnable
reputation"
A Washington dispatch says: "The
enthusiasm among the Republicans over
tie nomination of Hayes and Wheeler
increases. The President talks very
rrealy about it. He said this morning
that he considers il very strong ticket
and a winning ticket; that it will GER
tainly secure Ter the Republican party
in November the important States OF
Ohio, Indiana and New York"
That veteran politician, Thurlow Weed,
said: "The nomination abundantly vim
dicates the independence and good sense
of the Convention in these days OF pain
tul generalization, with a tainted nniltl-
cal atmosphere ana d popular sensibility
heretofore unknown. The nomination oi
Hayes and Wheeler will arouse and unite
in this State all the enthusiasm which
characterized our relations during the
Rebellion"
The San Francisco Chronicle remarks:
"The ticket is strong-a fact which will
be more generally recognized than 1t
now is, when the stress of the canvass
begins to be felt. The Republicans can
now enter upon the Canvass, carrying
no weight, and tree to wage an aggress-
i've warfare. Hayes is, in point OF avail
ability, the wisest choice that could
have been made, with the single eXcep-
| ton of Bristow."
A dispatch from Carlinville, ILL.,, says /:
"Great enthusiasm is being manifested
here and throughout Southern Illinois
over the nomination OF Hayes and
| wheeler. A salute of thirty Eight guns
has lust been fired in honor of the ticket.
The ticket has every element of strength,
and will close up the ranks of the Re-
publican party, which again presents a
| solid front. Everything indicates glo-
rious victory in November"
The N. Y. Evening Post independently
says that the nomination of Hayes and
Wheeler elevates and purfies the can.

pected under any politicians admins

Democrats to believe that they could
succeed with any man, or without any
principles. Now it 10 manifest that they

they would avoid defeat.
The N. Y. Evening Post telegraphed
4 representative members OF the celebrated
4 Fifth Avenue Conference on the Cincin
natl nominations, and received replies
as follows: From Mark Hopkins, OF
4 Williamstown, Mass: "Personally,
Il think HAYES nomination as excellent q
Il one as Mr.. Bristow's would have been

Yale, says: 81 like Hayes hard-moneJ
views, aud have general trust in him."
A Philadelphia dispatch, referring t,
the circumstance OF the Hartranft Clul
being "transmogrifed" into a Haye,
Club, says: "The tide OF public opinion
is setting strongly in favor of Hayes, th,
: transparencies borne by the procession
/ containing notices such as Hayes, tn,
, Soldier esman"-"Pennsylva will
give Hayes twenty-five thousand major

by the crowds of bystanders.
