into which they we're danger OF falling up 10 the
last hour OF the convention They slspAized ihAt

The republican leaders will give Hayes hesrtler ana

does hot rereat itself After all, the stfugSie las
been bitter and a triumph has been won IN spite OF
the glamour which great though tArnlsiesi mans
had tbrD an over ten OF simple mind and honest IN
pulses HAYES Is a man OF PLAIN, unoDsiruslFe man

l,ence robust common sense wheeler Is man
whose ciear-heGdef fr-seei1g statesiaEshp Is NoI-
thy OF the rollest eIa Of our history and highest
standard OF our public life. These two DaInes are
amply sufficient guarantee that the party has shsken
of the influences which threatened 10 Iaraiy1e II
and Will command the approval OF the independents
and liberals With two sIeb nominees the rePuo!i-

THE EXPRESS tDEM-l
saws The nominations made at Cincinnati are admit
tedy respectable character, composed OF men OF
some ererencs in the civil service Speaking OF the
st. LOUIS conventlon, the same paper says Ihe
selection of 4 Western and Governor BY the re-
pub leans may lead 70 the ciolee oI governor am
democrat from the West, with Vice President from
the East.
saws tbe nomination OF Hayes IS a collapse, not a
compromise and describes him as eoorless estndi-
date upon a platform o. platitudes, who shoulders
all the aimiuisfratiOn Sins. The writer grants
Hayes respectable abilities and good private char
acter, but says lie lacks Lineolns genius Of popu-
larIty.
THE HERALD.
1t was dramatic picture a square fight in the
convention. Ohio and Maine We're the only States
which stood by their culors unfBlteringly. Blaine
came out of the fight much the leader as Henry
Clay did in his palmiest days. SO far BlaInes d
feat Is concerned have only cong atuatiOns for
the republican party and the country 1be ticket Is
Il far one 1t nothing but Inediocrity. Hayes
II good man, with far, safe record. There are,
We doubt rot, 1860 republicans any one OF whom
WOnld make as competent b President as Hayes He
has Lo such hold on the country as Blaine or any
OF his opponents IN the convention. Wheeler stands
WELL and the ticket will poll the party strength 1t
viii represent the average common sense, sober-
minded class When st. Louis nolninates We shall
see CiEcinnati's true value.
THE y.
NEW YoRK June 1.-The San says of the noui-
nation OF Hayes, that he is a candidate whose weak
ness and unmpO-tance aIe his principal recon-
menlAti0Es 20 the republican party. HIS record ~
brief and slight In Congress lie was Of Tie oh
scureSt members. His name there, elsewhere. has
never been identified with auy policy measure, or
action of any kind He Is not the man 10 oDIterAte
the transactions Of GraDtism. The Cincinnati con-
ventiOn had strong men like Morton and Conkllng a
practical retuTIner III Bristow, notorious Jobber
and trickster IN Blaine; but It selected Iaan ur-
known 10 st IteSIn-nShlp, reform and party tIadl-
tions 1t took him the only hope Of avoiding the
triumph of the great eOrruptOnist under whom the
party would have been whiIled TO the ruin which
awaits 1t IN airy event.
PHILADELPHIA TIAfES.
PHILADELPHIA, June lin regard to the Cinein-
nati nominations Mcclure OF the Times says: The
worst elements OF TepUhlicanism viii rely upon
HAYES to be ohedeut to party interests 10 shield the
future BabcOcks, protect the future he!losgs and
espouse the Of future PEehbcss Of tine party.
and who Will say that confidence Is not warranted
The better men uf the organization, who have faith
in all it's SIMPLIFY and little knowledge Of " Simon S
ways OF power Will scan lis blameless record and
say that lie Las been flthtEl IN few things and VIII
consent 10 make nm a ruler over many ct LOUIS
may make him weak candidate by meeting the e!e
waited demands which Cincinnati dIsregaTded; but
the people VIII defeat Hayes merely 20 give the
democrats victory His defeat Is possible and 1t
should be made certain; but looking forward by the
light Of the past can only guess and tea--

EAYEs' NOMINATION AN ACCIDENT.
The Uor!dS Washington correspondent SAYS the
Blaine delegates Who have returned all claim that
majority Of the convention WAS for blame and that
Hayes nomination WAS an accident which never
would or could have happened on any other ballot
than the when 1t Gd happen Since the return
of the Blaine men, 1t has somewhat changed tire tone
