WHAT The PAPERS SAX.

|. Nizpauh;ee Neacs (Deua. )-There is
abundant evidence that by those who
advanced Hayes he was no more in
| tended to be candidate than Dom
I Pedro. His qualifications as dummy
We're, however, those BETTING such a
compromise as amounted to general
hari>kari Of every man IN the Republi
can party with a record. An infamous
administration hides behind private
gentleman, But If he is il the way he
will get hurt
Bosto n Courier (DeDa.)-Every
vote thrown for Hayes and Wheeler
outside of the disciplined party ranks
must be hardly earned, and If the St
Ions Convention makes the most Of the
opportunities, there is no reason, either
III politics or patriotism, to- prevent the
return Of the Democracy to the power
on the 4th of March next. But We
cannot afford to make mistake.
ST. Loujs Times, Dem. 1t would
| be folly to say that 1t will not be a diff
| fcut task to defeat Hays. His strength
as a candidate consists in his weakness
It. would not be easy to find flaws in the
record Of man who has no national
record. But it will be pleasant thing
to be able to eliminate personalities
from the canvass, and to conduct the
campaign upon square issue between
the parties.
Indianapolis Sentinel Dem Gov
Hayess chances for election are but
meagre if the convention at St. Louis
acts wisely and nominates Gov. Hend
ricks. Such action on its part is most
probable, and to us seems a necessity,
since the Republican nominee is a
Western man With Mr.. Hendricks as
our candidate. Indiana will go Demo
cratic without doubt, and the chance
Of his carrying Ohio is. good.
Philadelphia Times (I,d.)-The
battle of 1875 is toward the setting
sun Il may be humi!iating to Penn
sylvania, hitherto the moulder Of Presi-
dental struggles, and against whose
October verdict no President has been
chosen since Harrison; ard it may
keenly wound the pride of the Empire
State, whose thirtyStive votes it re
CARDS as certain to be omlnipotent in
the Electoral College; but il is the
truth that both will float to Republican
ism or to Democracy as Ohio and Indi.-
ana shall unitedly create the tidal wave
in October. Theorize as men may,
there is the picture ofthe Battlefield
of 1876.
Trey Wig (Rep.)-The only diff
Guilty that will be experienced in the
coming campaign for Hayes is lack
of personal interest in the man, however
unexceptionable he may be as eandi
date. What the party needed was a
great leader, full of personal magnetism,
who could win the people. Popular
enthusiasm is fiat. The only hope we
see is for Blaine to still bear the burden
and lead the people in the campaign by
his personal magnetism.
C1epe2and Plain Dealer T Dem. In
Ohio and Indiana will be the battle.
ground of the Presidential fight. If it
had been for a moment supposed that
Blaine could have carried these States,
Governor Hayes would never have
reached the nomination. We do not
believe if Hayes is confronted with a
popular candidate that he can secure
his vote of last year in this State.
st. LOFTS Republican { Dsna.)--The
i Democrats, however, are situated differ
emily from the Republicans their can
vass must be an aggressive and not a
negative one, and therefore they will
need positive men and no uncertain
statement of principles They must
! have candidates whose lives and careers
shall furnish guarantees Of their earncst-
ness With such standard bearers Hayes
and Wheeler may be defeated.
