LEADER OF THE ARMY OF REFORM.
detroit Free Press.
In sponse to the voice of the people
demanding that candidate for president
should be nominated who would be recog
nizsd throughout the country as positive
and genuine reformer, the Democratic
National Convention yesterday nominated
for the highest Office in the gift of the pee
pie the man whose name rises spontsne-
ously to the lips of the people whenever
reform is Northumberland j. TildeD
of New York. From the time
few scattering delegates arrived at
st. Louis until on the second ballot,
Governor Tilden was put in nomination
by the votes of nearly three fourths OF the
73S delegates, the strength of the great re
form governor steadily increased. The
more his name was csnvsssed-tbe more
his qualifications were dis cussed-the more
clearly did he appear to he convention, a.
ne did and does to the people, the man
above all others deserving OF The nOmlna-
tion-the man who should be assigned the
lead in the battle for reform in the nation.
THE TICKET STRENGTHENED.
New York Express.l
The nomination OF Governor Hendricks
of Indiana for vice president greatly
engthens the nomination of Governor
Tilden, and ia the bsst and wisest thing
which could possibly have been done by
the convention. 1t is an appeal TO Indi-
ans, whose vote in October we have
deemed essential to the success OF the DEM
ocrstic ticket in November. 1t Is also an
earnest response to the appeal from the
West. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky
will all be gfattiei by this action. OF all
the men at the West, Gov. Hendricks IL
the most cceptsble. His integrity and
intelligence are kcown and respected
throughout the land. His services in the
United States Senate and as governor OF
his state ensure for him a most. cordial
support. He is popular with the people,
sagacious as a leader, a statesman of the
advanced order, and no better man could
be selected for the second office, and great
multitudes, as we know, preferred him
for the first.
IHG STRAIGHT TICKET.
baltimore Gazette.l
The nomination of Samuel ]. Tilden for
president was ftlY followed yesterday by
the selection of Thomas Andrews Hen
bricks tor vice president. A stronger ticket,
one more difficult TO beat, more popu-
lar with the people, more in sympathy
with the times, the convention could
hardly have made. The two gentlemen in
whose hands the leadership OF the Demo-
cratic party has been placed this fall are
men not only of national reputation, OF
great personal purity and popularity, but
they possess In addition, and in
qualifications which, at this june
ture in our history, commend them 10 the
people as the men who should be entrusted
with the control of the executive depart
ment of the government. Mr.. Tilden is
known aud honored everywhere, because
Of his bitter and determined enmitv to
CORRUPTION in public life. When New
York city and state were PROSTATE under
the rule of the corrupt Tweed and his Re-
publican allies, be was chosen by its fore
most citizens to emsncipate it from the
grasp of that unscrupulous corruptionist
and give it an honest government. That
work he did nobly and calamity. The
money stolen from the people be brought
back into the treasury. The corruption
lists who so mercilessly plundered them he
sent to the penitentisry or made fugitives
from justice. He has reduced taxation and
put honest men In Otflce.
sPoTLEss TICKET.
[AIbany August
In Samuel j. Tilden the Democracy have
an able leader, splendid organizer, an
heroic general; one who knows when and
where to strike the blows which shall eff.
fectually demolish all rings and restore to
the people their liberties, to the Taxpayers
the protection they need, to the country
the character it has lost for efficiency, in
tegrity and enlightened craftsmanship
In Thomas A. Hendricks the Democracy
have faithful champion and the cause oil
reform an active sympsthizsr and effect
i've friend. AS United States senator and
as governor in his own state he has main
tanned an unblemished re putstion, aud he
has displayed those elements OF charscte;
and those qualities OF craftsmanship which
mt him to adorn any station and justify
unlimited confidence. He is well known
throughout the West, and bis fame has
toned for the first Office, the preferences Of
the convention were given to Governor
Tilden solely because his record as COVER
nor of this state had given him a wider
reputation as destroyer of rings and cor
rupt combinations. Equally the friend Of
reform, equally devoted to the cause which
Is nearest the hearts of the people, Cover
nor Hendricks is a worthy associate with
our own reform governor. A spotlesi
ticket, fifty representing the courageoul
purpose aud the pure principles of Ia,
Democratic party, incarnatirg the popula
ideal, and illustrating in practice the pop
ulsr demand, there is no question of it
triumphant election.
