Well The "Gfeat U0known whom
Blaine SO greatly feared has fully jusii-
led the ex Speakers fears. for he has
secured the prize which Blaine SO ard
tntly sought. From our dispatches ii
will be seen that on the seventh ballot
lhe names Of Bristow and Morton were
withdrawn and Hayes received the nom-
iuation. Thus is completed the FIRST act
Of the great Presidential drama Of the
Centennial year. Governor Hayes Of
Ohio, the nominee just chosen by the
Republican party in convention assem-
bled for the great Office of the Chief
Magistrate Of the people Of the United
States is man of mark, and though not
extensively known out Of his native
State. in Ohio bears an extremely high
character for integrity. ability and
thorough knowledge Of public affairs.

large clientage, and who're he also filled
the position OF City Solicitor for some
time. He served all through the war,
going In as . private and coming out as
9 Major General. During his service he
was offered nomination 10 Congress,
but declined, saying the post OF honor
then was the front Of battle. After the
war be served two terms in Congress

Next we find him entering the field as
candidate for Governor Of Ohio against
Thurman. whom he beat. and then into
two subsequent campaigns. including
that of last fall, he laid out two other
noble chieftains OF the Democracy, Geo.
H. Pendleton and William Allen. Hayes
has been Governor OF Ohio three times.
The success that has attended him 30
far. especially his victory OF last fall,
whom Bill Allen and the grsenback men
made tho earth tremble with their shouts
for more rag money, is q prominent ele'
ment of his strength with the Republi.

tested much adroitness in the various
campaigns in which be has been en-
gagged, and managed last fall to snatch
victory from the jaws of defeat by th,
manner Of his dealing with the hnancia
