HAYES STRENGTH. ~ #
ST. Louis Globe (Blaine) I" In
Ohio, where the political uncertainty
is the greatest, where the fluctuations
of alternate contests take wider
range than in any other State, he
can not BIO beaten. He has measured
himself against the noted names of
the Democracy and against their al.
lied power in tho State, and he has
beaten them all. Pendleton and AL
len, with their initiation hereeies,
called out. the full strength OF the
Democracy IN successive campaigns
after Thurman had played the part
of standard bearer on q sounder plat
form, bat al We're alike 'unayaiIihg.
Had any one Of them beaten Hayes,
it would have been o first class Gre
DENTAL for presidential nomination
at the hands of the Democracy, and,
perhaps, for an election-who knows?
since Ohio votes In October and
votes heavily Surely the paladin
who has overthrown three presiden-
tial aspirants may well be able to
hold his own in q presidential cor
test, and he has all the strength of
Republicanism to rely upon. y
THE BATTLE WON.
The Chicago Tribune says: "Mr.
Hayes is, in all that pertains to the
great principles and policies of Re-
form, Retrenchment and integrity of
administration, as acceptable as Mr..
Bristow. Lets known to the whole
people, perhaps, he is widely known
as man with clear head, sound judg
ment, patriotic record, and above all
clean hands; a stranger to the lobby
and with no entangling business alli-
ances with subsidy seekers or gam
blers in national credit. For the
nomination of man SO pure, public
ly and privately, and at the same
time so identified with the great re
formatory policies which the prevail
ing corruption has made SO essential,
the Convention will deserve and re-
oeive the grateful thanks of the coun-
try. We have no fears for the result
of the election of 1876. The battle
was won, practically, at Cincinnati.
1t is immaterial who may be nomi-
mated at st. Louis; the Republican
party has been saved from the only
defeat that threatened it. The cam
paign will be an aggressive one
War upon the whole confederate line
no matter by whom it may be com :
manded There will be no hesitation,
no detection, no faltering. The whole
Republican party, and the friends of
peace, of civil and personal liberty,
of the maintenance of law and the
protection of the citizen, of whatever
party, will recognize in the nomina-
ton of Hayes the certain guarantee
of all this. The country will also
have reason to rejoice that there is
nothing left to doubt or obscurity on
the matter of finances. An honest
Government, and an honest Admin
istration, of necessity demand that
the nation shall have honest money.
All these are the inevitable conso-
quences TO follow the nomination
and election of Hayes.
FOUND ITS LINCOLN.
The New York Times : "The Re-
publican party has found its Lincoln
fPossff 81 Candidates is a man of PLANE,
unobtrusive manners, unimpeachable
honesty, keen intelligent, and robust
common sense. The second place on
the ticket has been given to one
whose ability as a legislator, and
whose influence as clear-headed,
far-seeing statesman, are worthy of
the noblest era of our history and the
highest standards of our public life.
The convention has given the Re
publican party a ticket and platform
on which it can and must win"
HIGH PERSONAL CHARACTER.
Chicago Journal: "The Repub-
lican National Convention, is finally
selecting Gov. Hayes, of Ohio, as the
nominee for president, did wisely,
and was fortunate indeed. Of the
highest personal character, the en-
bodiment of courage, integrity, SIM
plicit and modesty, no one Knows him
but to love him. Nothing is more
abhorrent to his nature than the
crooked arts of the mere trading and
tricky politician. The writer of this
knows him W II. He is person no
one would tare to approach with
an indirect or questionable PROPOSE
ton. Political life, for its own sake,
has to him but few attractions and
of his reluctance to accept, office, and
of his efficiency and fidelity when
called to positions of public trust or
responsibility, his fellow-citizens of
Cincinnati have had many proofs"
