G- A correspondent of the National
Republican, writing from Richmond, Va,
believes the Republican party can and
will carry Virginia.
l5B- The Cincinnati German Turner'S
Association has declared officially for
Hayes and Wheeler, and it is said the
Germans in the State may be relied on for
the Republican ticket.
sB Tilden and Hendricks letters show
clearly, if anything, that the time has not
arrived when the people of this country
can safely commit its destinies TO the
hands of such leaders. - PhiladeLphia
North american.
GB" Gov. Tilden's letter is too long,
and its rhetoric is too strained to enable
any one intelligcntly to judge Of the Gov
ernpr's meaning. The egotism is simply
ridiculous. To quote from his own old
speeches and State papers reveals unmis-
takRbly the egotism of the man.-ROches-
ter IN. ~ Democrat.
gdy- The report of the minority of the
Robson Investigating Committee con-
victs the majority, beyond shadow of
doubt, of a deliberate and systematic at
tempt to make campaign capital at the
expense of the reputation of a Cabinet
officer. A more fragrant exhibition of
unfair and wicked partisanship was never
seen in this country than in the treatment
accorded Secretary RohesOn by the ma
jority of this committee. The statements
of the minority are explicit, and leave no
room for doubt.-BDdLo Express.
eB~ The two letters of Tilden and Hen
! bricks, according to all the accounts from
Washington, have left the hard d-money
nj thn snA
much at loggerheads as ever The infla-
tionists declare their unstinted admira-
| tion of Mr. Hendricks utterances, but
prefer not to say anything about Mr.. Til
den's, and the hard-Tnoney Democrats are
overcome with their eXuberance on behalf
of Tilden, but silent and morOse when
Hendricks is mentioned. We very much
fear that the Democratic party is not a
happy family.-Chicdg0 Tribune.
"a" The enthusiastic reception ten
dered Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Wheeler on re,
visiting their native villages, after receiv-
ing their nominations, have been the
pleasantest incidents of the campaign.
Mr.. Tilden, however, did not visit his ma
tive place after receiving his nomination,
and If he had IL is to be feared that his
reception would have been disappointing.
1t has not, indeed, been a favorite place
of resort with him for number of years
in fact since he became the object of
general odium on account of defrauding
his townspeople and neighbors by a swim
ding railroad operation. .-Sprinqfeld

az just before the St. Louis nomina-
tions were made the Chicago Times (now
an ardent Tilden paper said: "If the
| pending canvass is to be one in which
! personal qualifications are to play lead
ing part, then there should be no hesita-
tion at St. Louis as to the selection Of a
nominee. As between Judge Davis and
Mr.. Tilden, there is scarcely opportunity
| for a choice, so certain is it that all the
advantages alluded to rest with the form
er. The latter is puiRerd6le. His ,cdr
record is bad, his GuberRdtoridL career sUs-
ptcious, and his tehiag for the Presidep-
tiGt office dt once notorious and damaging.
He could not carry the party, but the
party ,coutd haDe 10 carry him. To carry
him, and the weighty burden Of his rec
ord, and all the time be vigorously en-
gagged ina defensive fight, Is more than
any one party can accomplish, and, at the
same time, achieve success
EB- The announcement is made by the
New York Times, with full knowledge
and authority that the Hon. Dewitt g.
Littlejohn, of New York, delegate to
the National Democratic Convention, has
determined to openly support Hayes aud
Wheeler, Before and during the Conven.
tion Mr.. Littlejohn emphatically protested
against the nomination of Tilden, whom
he denounced as unworthy 10 be Presi
dent, and the honesty and sincerity OF his
convictions are demonstrated by his pub
lie adhesion to the Republicarrticket The
Times announces another important con.
version to the support of Hayes and
