What is Said OF Them-How Doctors
Differ.
From the Cincinnati Commercial, Ind.
The Republican party may be con-
graduated upon the nomination Of
Hayes as an escape from the "skeleton
clutch"-as Colonel Ingersoll would
say--of Blaine. They have not made
the strongest nomination possible, but
perhaps the best of which the party is
capable. They have not made victory
sure. but they have secured what Gov
ernor Hayes said in his remarks to the
Republican conference at Columy Jus
aftea his nomination last summer: 1T
Is fair fitting chance to win" Hayes
is not the ideal candidate, but he is, for
party purposes, good candidate. He
is man without large development
of nonsense. He is symmetrical man
not giant, but of good dimensions
for reasonable service.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.
What has the country to expect of a
candidate so nominated ? Hayes is the
representative of religious bigotry, ow-
ing his election to the Governorship to
that narrowness. The platform of the
Republican party dare not defend the
financial legislation Of the Republican
party. 1t dare not nominate either a
brave man representing the party or the
advised reformer of it. The platform
was a mixture of cowardice and desire
for oppression. The ticket is one of in
sipidity and utter weakness, save in the
one respect we have mentioned. 1t is
nominated with a view Of carrying
Ohio, being strong nowhere else. Il is
argued that Hayes would be strong in
Ohio. Will the Democratic National
Convention think Ohio of consequence
From the Philadelphia Times, Ind.
The great advantage of this ticket is
that nobody can possibly take offense at
it, and the Republican papers all take
it down easily, though with no great
appetite The Independent papers, with
Republican tendencies, generally swal-
low it with some indications that its
taste is mawkish and fat Those whose
Tenderness are not decidedly Republican
think it best to wait and see what St.
Louis may offer. The Democratic papers
do not admire the ticket, but differ
noticeably in their estimates of its
strenth. One thing, however, they are
all agreed upon-that St. Louis must
do better.
From the Richmond (Va.) Wing, Dem.
Governor Hayes is comparatively a
new man, and can scarcely be said to
have achieved national reputation
His canvass last year in Ohio, when the
Democracy of that State madly threw
away their chances of electing theil
candidate by their extreme financial
policy, gave him quite provincial OF
local reputation, which. added to good
and honorable war record, and pure
private life, are his highest recommen-
dations to the support of his party.
From the New York World, Dem.
The nomination Of Governor Hayes,
of Ohio, is a collapse and not a com-
promise Personally he is man Of re-
spectacle abilities, of excellent private
character, and in steady going, unde-
monstrative way has been a consistent,
if not an influential, member Of the Re-
publican party for years. The Vice
Presidential nomination at Cincinnati
saddles the Republican party with all
the most assailable features of Mr..
Blaine's political record.
From the Baltimore Sun, Ind.
The lesson to be drawn from Mr.
Hayes nomination to the Presidency
and it is one that Mr. Blaine and others
may take to hearts that the Repub-
lican party recognizes the necessity ol
selecting as aspirants to high place only
those against whose reputation no sus-
picion is cast or no possible evidence Of
jobbery exists. Governor Hayes is a
gentleman of respectable aptecedents
though Of scarcely more than a loca'
reputation.
From the Boston Post, Ind.
Their weakness is found in the evi-
dent circumstance that neither candi.
date represents anything which the
people want With the whole nation
clamoring for reform, the convention
chose men who have shown no capacity
for the work, and who can in no way
be claimed as equal to the occasion.
From the Baltimore Gazette, Dem.
He certainly will not make SO strong
candidate as Blaine, and be is inf
nitely weaker than Bristow. He has
no great services, no great talents, nc
