The nomination of Hayes and Wheel
err, though a disappointment to the
friends of the leading candidates, is be-
coming to be considered as about the
best possible thing that could have been
done at Cincinnati. The candidates
have a record that cannot be impeached
or soiled by the rigid scrutiny that a
strong partizan campaign will institute !;
and they embOdy, integrity, more than
ordinary ability, and such record as to
ensure great strength. Governor Hayes
has been able to beat the noted demo-
cratic leader, Thurman. the leading pol
itician, Pendleton, and the popular Bill
Allen IN very spirited contests in Ohio
Mr.. Wheeler has won universal esteem
in congress by his honesty, practical
common sense and fidelity to the inter
ests Of the nation.
The independents" and Performers
accept Gov. Hayes as their second choice
Bristow being the first, and are falling
into line cheerfully. The whole repub
lican party endorse Hayes and Wheele
and there will be a very general and en-
thusiastic rally to their support.

Mr.. Frye, of Maine, when the tumult
created on the announcement that Hayes
had received the nomination had parti
ally subsidized, arose and moved that the
nomination be made unanimous, and
stated that Blaine would assist in swell
ing the majority of Maine to 10000
and that of Massachusetts, to 10000.
This announcement was received with
great cheering.
George William Curtis is satisfied
more so than he had dared hope he
would be. Bristow was his first choice,
to be sure, but Hayes will give the
country pure and faithful administra-
ton. Wheeler is man off the same
piece. He was much impressed by the
personal devotion inspired by Blaine, and
speaks of Col. Ingersoll's speech as a
remarkable piece of rhetoric
The Cincinnati Commercial says this
as Justly due to the Republican National
Convention: ave doubt if ever before
a large number of men gathered for pc
litical purposes were SO decorous in de
pertinent, or of higher character fo
intelligence. 1t was in all respects SUI
perior to any of its predecessors of which
we have knowledge, and was a striking
illustration of the possibility of making
the advance in civilization more appar
ent in our politics"

LETTER FROM NEW YORK..
NEW YORK, June 81, 1876
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence,
The exodus from the metropolis men
toned in my last continues and will
continue for some time yet, but still the |
city does not seem to thin out percepti-
bly,. For one thing New York Is too |
large to show the absence of the compar-
atively few thousand who can afford the
regular summer hegira, and fer another
the place of those thus temporarily gone
is filled, also temporarily, by the large
numbes Of strangers which are brought
hither by Centennial and other attrac-
tons. The amount of summer travel to
this city this year would be surprising
in view of the universal hard times.
we're it not for the extraordinary low
rates that prevail upon all the trunk
lines. The reductions recently made
did not, it is needless to say, originate
in the disinterested benevolence of the
various corporations, but are merely
part of their annual illustration of the
old saying about biting ones own nose
off to spite ones neighbor. The result
is loss to the railroads, but it's an Ill
wind that blows nobody good, and the
compensating advantage in this the pub
lie can now travel about as cheaply as
they can live at home. One can go from
here to Niagara Falls and back for SO,
while the fare to Chicago is Sl3, to the
Mississippi S2l, to the Missouri S29,
and to the Pacific. SI25. Further re-
ductiOns are perhaps yet in store. Now

VERMONT AT CINCINNATI.

Governor Hayes received 3S4 votes
J ames G.. Blaine, 35l; B. II. BristOw,
81 on the seventh and last ballot.
Hayes majority was II. Had Vermont
voted for Blaine. Hayes would have still
received majority; but the influence Of
the Vermont delegation had been,
through Judge Poland and other leading
members, strongly on the side of Bris-
tow and in opposition to Blaine. We
believe if Vermont had labored as hard
for Blaine's success as for his defeat that
he would have received the nomination
so that whatever is gained or lost il
substituting Hayes for Blaine, is due t.
the influence of the Green Mountain
State.

CONVENTION NOTES.

Judge Poland had the honor of NOM
mating the Hon. VIM. A. Wheeler of
New York, for the vice presidency.
The portrait of Governor Hayes shows
him to be fine looking man. The
marks upon his face are, candor, frmness
and honesty.
Speaking of Gov. Hayes the Norfolk
Virginian says: ave may as well make
up our minds to the fact that we have
strong man to beat
Somebody reports Mr.. Voorhees, as
saying that if the democrats nominate
Gov. Tilden he will bolt the ticket and
take the stump for the republican can
didates.
Horace White of Chicago says: "The
nomination of Hayes was the best pos
sible to be obtained from that conven-
ton, and is on the whole, strong one
/ DeIore the country.
Mr.. Morton pronounces the ticket a
credit to the party, and has no doubt of
its triumphant election. All good re-
publicans can work for it with will,
as he expects to.
The German societies of Cincinnati
have invited Gov. Hayes to be present
at their Centennial Festival on the 4th
of July, and assured him of their unan-
imous support in the campaign.
Governor Hayes, presidential nominee
is of Vermont descent, his parents hav
ing gone from Windham County t.
Ohio, some years before the birth o
Rutherford B., one of their sons.
President Grant says: 81 am yer,

THE CENTENNIAL.

Mr.. EDITOR: Doubtless many of your
readers intend to visit Philadelphia dur
ing the season, and few lines from one
who has lately visited the Exposition,
may be Of interest. Having seen it re-
ported that there was great difficulty in
suitable accommodations near
the exhibition buildings, at anything
like reasonable prices, we made investi-
cation to some extent, and can give some
information on that subject. We were
carried by rail on to the grounds close
to the main entrance, and found our
selves unexpectedly amid the beauties
and wonders of the great exhibition be-
fore we were hardly aware of the fact.
Spending few hours in taking pass
ing view of some parts of the vast show,
we set about to find lodging place and
a comfortable home for our few days So
journ. Taking a stroll along leading
avenue, we discovered lodging place
that was only few minutes walk from
the entrance, where we had a pleasant,
clean and desirable room, with bed and
necessary furniture, for the small sum of
one dollar per day. Our next move was
to find place where the wants of the
inner man could be supplied at reasOna-
bic prices. We found also, very near
our lodging room, a strictly temperance
restaurant, where well-cooked, whole
some food was provided at prices which
merit no complaint. The name of the
house was the "Jourdan Dining Rooms,
and it is found on Elm Avenue, within
five rods of the eastern entrance. w,
considered ourselves fortunate in gettin!
into temperance house. and are anx
ious to honor the gentlemen who, in tn
great wilderness of liquors and drinking
have established an oasis of temperate
and sobriety. A few prices may serv

EXIT BRIsTow.

Secretary of the Treasury, BristOw,
has resigned and Hon. Lot N. Morrill,
of Maine has been appointed in his place.
For several months it has been rumored
that Bristow was to leave the treasury,
but he put off the matter until after the
result of the Cincinnati convention was
known. Mr.. Bristow's defeat at the
convention probably had nothing to do
with the resignation, but it would have
been in bad taste just on the eve Of the
meeting of the convention. Mr.. Bris-

Setting tho Table.

1t may be from force of habit, but l
think table looks incest with the plates
put on face downward; the napkin
should either be on top of the plate or
in front of it, with the knife at the right
side and fork at the left Set the larger
and principal dishes in the center of the
table, with the smaller ones around
them. Cups, spoons, milk, sugar, and
everything used i'll serving tho tea,
should be in front of the hostess, and
the water and glasses near some other
member of the family, as it is too much
for the hostess to attend to everything,
and gives too crowded an appearance to
her part of the table.
1t is u good plan. when sauce or pre-
serves are to be served, to dish and
place them Mt each plate when setting
the table, especially when the company
is large. Us il saves some confusion, as
we'll as liability to soil the table linen.
For crockery, glassware, cutlery, etc,
of course people should use Just what
they can afford, remembering it is not
so much rich materials that give pleas
ing effect, as the care with which they
are arranged. Butter will not look very
tempting, even on n silver dish, when
daubed and spread all over it; or bread
and cake on the finest china, if cut or
broken in irregular pieces, and thrown
in a careless heap.
a handsome table depends great
deal upon this little matter of cutting
the food. Bread. if cut in haggled
slices, looks not nearly as wholesome as
when evenly cut. BY placing it flat on
Il table, and using blade long enough
to reach the entire width of the loaf,
one can make the slices of an even thick
ness; while, if cut held in the hands, as
some do. part of the slices will be thick
at one end, and taper to nothing at the
other. Some always break up warm
cakes, as they think cutting makes them
heavy; but it looks so ragged on the
table l never should be willing to do it.
Ii baked early enough, as everything
should be, so that it can sit awhile be-
fore cutting, it will not be very heavy.
