Press the news by this line was deliv-
cred at Baltimore, Washin gton. New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Bostoa and
other points the ballots were regularly
announced from ten to twenty minutes
sooner than by the old line, aud on both
the nominations the Associated Press
was as badly beaten. In several In
stances the Associated Press posted the
A. & 2. telegrams 'sfraudulent" because
they were so far ahead, but soon had to
pull down their bulletins and acknoWl-
edge beat.
The Press ON the Nominations.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE papers this
morning are filed with opinions on the
Cincinnati nominations. The Sun says:
Hayes is a candidate whose weakness
and uuimportance are his principal rec
concentrations to the Republican party.
His name, in Congress or elsewhere, has
been identified with no policy or measure
or action Of anykind. He has no marked
powers that have been brought into
play. He has no strong points OF char
acter. He has been but a likely man In
politics. Above all, Hayes is no re-
former. He is not the man to clean out
political corruption. to destroy the des-
perate rings which have got hold OF the
| country, or to destroy, or to do anything
to obliterate the administration Of Grant
| ism.
The World says: Governor Hayes is
q collapse, not a compromise. The Gov
ernor has respectable abilities and good
private character, but with harmony in
Democratic councils, and two sterling
Democrats on the ticket, their party
| would be successful in November.
The Times says: The Republican
party has found its Lincoln to read it to
victory The foremost OF the candidates
is man of plain, unobtrusive manners,
Of unimpeachable honesty, keen in.
,telligence and robust common sense.
The second place on the ticket has been
given to one whose ability as a aleglslatof
and whose influence as clear-headed,
far-seeing statesman are worthy or the
noblest era OF our history and the high
est standards Of our public lite. The
Convention has given the Republican
party a ticket ana a platform ON which
il eau and must win. The names OF
Rutherford b. Hayes and VIM. A.
Wheeler are amply sufficient guaran-
tees that the party has shaken OIL the
ally re it; that it has repudlated the cor
!, ruption which ITS sO-called leaders have
, suffered to stain its record and make its
: honest members hang their heads fol
shame. A campaign under sucn leader
ship will be an aggressive, enthusiastic
AID united one. The nominations o. o..
such as ought to command the approya
LOT every kind Of indie pendent in politics
Iwho4s sincerely desirous OF elevatinl
the tone OF our public life, and o, ever
liberal who had been honestly dissatis
r: ned with the dictatiOn OF ofice-nolder
1 or the abuse OF the political Influence {
u the Administrations.
r The Tribune says the action OF th
8 Convention was u surprise, but 1t wi
command the approval VI u large majol
N ity of Republicans, and will have th
IS cordial support Of the whole party; eult
s. Liberals and Independent RefOrner
will sustain the ticket. The reform eli
Ie ment Of the party will feel that its jus
B. demands have been considered. Th
T. combination is indeed one of the mos
10 formidable suggested on either side.
~ The Herald says: AS it now stand
~ the ticket Is u fair one. 1t is no sue
l. ticket as Washburne and Logan, Com
ling and Hayes, or Morton and Ha
tranft would have been. II means notl
ing but mediocrty. Governor Hayes
good man. lie has fair, sale rec0rt
:. He defeated Thurman and Allen in Ohlt
~ which shows how strong he is at hom
;" His personal character IL stainless. ii
record, il he has any, is even, placid, VI
le eventful. he was quiet, sensible t!ol
gressman; q modest General, and is no
u lair Governor. Ii elected, he WI
~ bring these qualities into the Whit

ar ten thousand Republicans, any one
whom would make as competent Pres
dent as Hayes. He has no such hol
O. upon the country Us Blaine or Morton
N Conkiing or Washburne. He happene
IS to have fewer edges than any other Cal

D. be o choice as wise as that OF Liuc0ll
,, or as foolish as that OF Tyler. Time mu
determine this. Mr.. Wheeler, the cal
n didate for the Vice Presidency, stand
. well in this State. Hayes and Whoslt
Q will poll the party vote. They will GA
out the soli... nard-worklng Larty mel
As q ticket, Hayes and Wheeler repr

}. value Of the Republican nomination
II When we see the work of st. Louis "
,, can estimate at its true value the wol
- just achieved at Cincinnati.
