The New York Nomination-Comme of
the Press.
New YORK, Aug. 14.-The morning papers
all have something to say about the Republican
state ticket put in nomination yesterday.
The Herald says: Mr.. Morgan is a strong
candidate, aside from the fact that his nomina-
tion restores harmony in distracted party.
He is an able and experienced party tactcian.
He is we'll known to business men OF this city
and epjoys their confidence to as great degree
as Gov. Tilden himself. He has the prestige
OF, great war Governor. He is among the
hardest of hard money men, and nobody doubts
his straightforward sincerity on this great ques-
ticn. The domination of Mr.. Rogers for the
second place is one of the best that could have
been made, and the ticket, as WHOLE will be
a very hard one to beat.
The World says: Saratoga has made itself
the echo of Cincinnati. 1t is clear from the
action of the state convention OF New York, as
it was from the action of the national conyen-
tion of Republicans, that no man who is pre-
scented as the candidate of the reform element
in the Republican party can receive the nomin-
alton. Evarts has gone to meet Brstow. Ex-
Gov. Morgan has simply given himself up to
be food for POWDER He is an acceptable offer
wealth and has always been very lavish of it
for political purposes
The Times says: The work of the Saratoga
convention insures Republican victory in this
state. Edwin ID. Morgan may be trusted to
remember the vital principles which the party
maintained alike through years of trial and
years of triumph. He will not be insensible to
the demands of a time when Republicanism
alone can save the nation from dishonor as it
saved it from despotism, and can uproot cor
Tuntion il crnShnd rahallion
The Tribune says: Next to the choice of Mr.
EVarts himself, we count that of Gov Morgan
as the best that could have been made. He is
man long trained in the public service, of un-
Improbable record and unquestioned fidelity
to the best elements and tendencies of the Re-
publican party. He will command the support
of all the dissatisfied elements, and will make
stirring canvass. We believe he can get
| enough doubtful votes to be elected and to car

The Sun says: Mr.. Morgan is perhaps as
strong candidate as the Republicans conld
| have selected.
