only, that il cannot fail to create favor
able comment everywhere.
Worcester Spy Rep.)
Gov. Hayes's letter will be satisfac-
tory to all Republicans, and to the
doubters who have been waiting for
that tn decide whether they ought to
vote for him or Tilden. There can no
longer be any doubt, if there ever was
any, about Gov. Hsyes's position on
the leading question of the day. There
is not symptom hedging or trimming
in his letter. 1t is frank, manly, and
unmistakable throughout. He is the
true reform candidate.
Providence Journal (Rep.)
The letter is complete and admirable
in all its parts. 1t illustrates the high
character of the man, and is worthy OF
saved and is yet to preserve the ns-
ton.
Cincinnati Gazette.
Governor Hayes's letter of Acceptance
of the Republican nomination to the
Presidency, is given to the Nation this
morning. We shall be mistaken if it
does not create throughout the country
where Mr.. Hayes has hitherto been lit
tie known, high opinion of his Judg=
ment, and conviction that he takes
high view of the duties of the Office OF
President, and has formed resolve to
carry them out on high plane. The
letter is clear and pronounced, and is
unexceptionable.
Cleveland Leader.
The most important matter in the
Leader of this morning is the manly
letter of Governor Hayes accepting the
nomination offered him by the Cincin-
natl Convention. Since the nomiDa-
tion of TildeD, it has been a favorite
saying of the Liberal Press that Cover
nor Hayes could elect or defeat himself
in his letter of acceptance. We feel
that noeDnly the Liberals but
every honest Republican ia the coun-
try will find the letter all they have
hoped. The grumblers who have been
fearing that the Republican candidate
was man without ideas, will find how
totally they have mistaken him. With |
all modesty and sincerity, Governor
Hayes has made his letter a platform
which renders his election secure. |
There are more ideas in it, and sounder |
ones, then have been put into letter OF
by a Presidential candidate
during the life of this generation. A |
sound currency. civil service reform,
free schools, peace in the
South, equal rights secured to all, no
second term-these are the planks OF
our candidates platform. Every idea
is live one, every word of the letter is |
the utterance of frank, fearless, hon
pst man, who understands the needs of
the country, and who, when elected,
will do all that Jealous, dignified, in
President can do to carry
those principles into practice.
Certain politicians may derive small
from the Governors re-
marks on civil service reform, but the
people will emblazon them upon their
banners as golden words, and under
those banners they will conquer.
Journal.
We publish this morning the letter of
Governor Hayes accepting the nomina-
ton of the Republican party for the
Presidency. 1t is in all respects an ad-
paper, and will undoubtedly
the approval of large ma
jority Of the American people. 1t is
well conceived and well expressed, at
once modest and manly in tone, gentle, |
but unyielding in temper, the fit ex-
preston of an honest, high-tOned gen.
Ileman, who, without boasting, is still
ready to assume any responsibility the
people may place upon him.
Dayton Journal.
The principles which Governor
Hayes presents as those upon which he
comes before the people as candidate
or. President, must command univer-
al attention, and but for the preva-
ence of mere partisan prejudices,
would secure the approval of the hole
people without distinction Ofthe party.
There is an entire absence of cant, as
of pretension in the letter.
t details fairly and truthfully with all
he questions which pertain to the hon.
,r of the Nation and the prosperity of
he individual citizen. There is an
Icute perception of the needs of the
country in every line, and the concise
md happy form of expression will be
loticed by all.
In all that patriotic and honorable

and of abounding sincerity.
Cleveland Herald.
Governor Hayes's long expected let.
er of acceptance is given to the coun-
ry this morning. Like all the Cover
lOr's utterances it is unaffected and to
he point. Without going into any
Elaborate declaration of principles he
imply touches on some of the more
points, declaring himself
learly enough on the school question
nd civil service reform, and to begin
he latter he deems it necessary to dis
second Presidential
erm, which emphatically refuses for
himself, should it be offered him. His
etter, on the whole, will thoroughly
atisfy his warmest friends.
