yesterdays nomination, that the Re.

and escaped great disastcr-thc oppor,

has made victory sure by its nomina.
tions. Hayes is not an ideal candidate,
but for party purposes, & good candi-
date, md says the nomination OF
Wheeler was Il mistake; that WtcGlforl
would hayo been much better. Tic
commnciR regrets that Bristow was not
thG choice Of the Convention. III
speaking of the proceedings yesterday,
1t was proposed and understood Of we
were not cautious about the use OF words
we would say that il was agrccdD that
when tie BTistuw vote should exceed
the Morton vote, the vote Of Indiana
should, on the next ballot, so to Bris-
tow solid. Tho occasion came, and
Colonel Thompson hesitated and waited
for another ballot. Before that ballot
lie had received dispatch from Morton
saying that tho battle was not lost 10
Indiana, and that his friends should
stand by him. This dispatch was fatal
there was further delay, and Howard
threw tho State for Hayes, breaking
down RrisIoNv'a eErnnnIl, nal Io,l;,,,
tho column Of Blainc's opponents.
II Morton had tclegraphcd previously
that his name should be withdrawn
and that his strength WAS waning was
perfectly apparent-tho timely vGtc of
Indiana for Bristow would have been
followed by the whole strength of Nor
tons Southern vote, and. by the hihtory
OF the past, by Pennsylvania, If this
programme had hccn carried ont. Those
who have studied the history of the
Convention will nt once agree that
the nomination Of itristow would have
followed.
Tho GaEone puts the names of
Hayes aud Wheeler Mt tho head Of its
columns, aud says: "Our flag is there;
it is nailed to the masthead and will
wave i'll November in celebration Of Il
victory equal TO ary that has heretofore
Eccn achieved.

tortcd victory from those who claimed
to have secured il in defiance Of tho
moral sense Of tho country" This pa
per adds that Mr.. Hayes is MS accom-
riishcd i'll every particular as Dristow,
and concludes that Mr.. Hayes will re-
ceivc the undivided support Of the Re.

Tho EHq"ircr (Drm.) considers
Hayes nomination ~ the weakest Of all
tho candidates in the field aud that tho
nomination Of Wheeler WIS especially
weak, when they had such mon as on

and unfit To bc made, and speaks Of il
as "kaugnruo ticket" in that its
strength Is in It's hind legs; meaning
