SURVIVED THE ooRRUPToNs.
New York Timesl
The meaning of yesterdays nomlnations
will be apparent to all men. 1t is that the
great principles of Republicanism have
survived the corruptions with which they
have been overlaid {; that the party which
saved the Union, emanc pated the slave,
and defended the public credit has suft-
cent vigor to grasp new lease OF power,
and enough honesty and SGate5manshlp 60
deserve it. The names of Rutherford u.
HAYES and William A Wheeler, are amply
sufficient guarantees that the party has
shaken off the influence which threatened
to paralyze it; that it has repudlated tne
corruption which it's called leaders have
suffered to stain It's record and make Its
honest members hang their heads Ter
shame. campaign under such leadership
will be an aggressive, enthusiastic, and unl-
ted one.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY ANYTHING AGAINST.
New York Trbunsl
The action OF the Cincinnati Convention,
Yesterday was something of q surprise, but
it will command the approval of large
majority OF Republicans, and the ticket
will have the cordial support OF the
whole party. Governor Hayes ls q man
of whom it is impossible to say a
word of evil, Personally he is not only
above reproach but above suspicion. The.
are no dark corners in his history which
need investigation or have ever set the
tongue of scandal wagging
The Tribune certainly, which sup
ported him 80 strenuously when he was hight
ing his gallant fight for hard money against
the Allen and Cary madmen last year, can
find no fault with his nomination now.
4 The combination indeed il one of the
most formidable that have been suggested
on either side, and although it cannot be
said that the course ls entirely clear while
the Democracy have yet to be heard from,
it seems almost certain that Hayes and
Wheeler are to be the officers inaugurated
next March.
HIS WHITE HOUSE QUALITIES.
New York Herald
As it now stands the ticket is fair one
Governor Hayes is a good man. He de
feated Thurman and Allen in Ohio, whicl
shows how strong he is at home. His per
sonal character is stainlesd. His record, il
he has any, is calm, placid, uneventful. Hi
has been a quiet, sensible Coogressnsn,
modest general and q fair Governor. L
elected he will bring these qualities into
Tiie White House. Mr.. Wllooior, the Oe9
didate for the Vice Presidency, stands wei
in this State. Hayes and Wheeler will pol
the party vote. They will call out the solid
Woodworking party men. AS lcke
Hayes and Wheeler represent the aVerag
common sense, sober minded classes.
TRUSTWORTHY GUIDE.
philadelphia Press.l
General Hayes is strong candidate. FL
lacks MIR. Blaine's postiveness He WI
not be a pillar of ire by night or cloud
day to lead us, but we believe he Will be
trustworthy guide. He was gallant 80
dier, an excellent Congressman, and hs
made a good Governor. His administri
ton will be respectable If not orllliar
one, and its quietude aud negi
five Qualities recall the days of Poll
Fillmore, and Pierce He is eminent
safe man. The people of b
State have always called him to fill IL
breach when danger threatened, and
has thrice led them against formldab
odds. He saved them from Pendletol
with his secession tendecies Thurman
with his reactionary influences, and WI
liam Allen, with his revolutionary INA
cial and social theories. He ID the repr
sentative man of the third State of 81
Union, with all its characteristic sturC
ness, strength of mind, and firmness
aonviction.
ExoELLENr PRIVATE oHARAcER.
New York World.l
Governor Hayes personally, is man
respectable Abilities of excellent prlva
character, and in a steady going undemo
stratiye way has been a consisTent,if not
influential member of the Republican pal
for many years. IL would be absurd
compare him in point of intellect with Pr
ident Lincoln; but if the Republican pal
stood to-day where it stood in 1860, sui
ciently striking analogy might be est'
hshed between the Chicago nomination n
made at Cincinnati, to warrant great exp
tations on the part of his supporters.
DONE WELL AND Is CLEAN.
[Baltimere Americana
He ought to make very popular can
date, and rally not only the regular Rep
iican vote, but also that indefinite quant
which is known as the independent {
ment. He has done we'll in all the positit
which he has filled, and his recort
thoroughly clean. What is needed L
is that the Republican orators {
press should introduce him to the VIII
country, and make it known T.
he is the sort of man from whom we L
expect safe, sound and able Adminis
81 On the who
we think that Governor Hayes will be tal
as an acceptable candidate by the Repu
can party, and that it will come up to
support with as complete unahlmity al
did O Lincoln and Grant.
HAYES and Wheeler make an unexcept
able ticket and with it the party can M
