cellent IA one az Bristows would have
been. go for It," EX.president
Woolsey, of Yale, says: III like Hayes
hard-money views and have general
trust In him. Professor Sumner says:
III suppose the Convention IL to be re-
garded rs an effort on the part of the
American people to select statesmen
for their Chief Magistrate, and that it
seems TO me farce.
The Evening Post, speaking OF the
Cincinnati nomination, srys: "The
Republicans are TO DO congratulated on
their good fortune In having narrowly
escaped a fatal error into which they
were in danger OF falling up to the last
hour of the Convention, but they sig
nalized the hour by AN act which goes
to vindieate their political honesty and
their political sagacity. The Repupll-
can leaders will give Hayes hearty
and more united support than they
would have given to any other man
before the Convention"
The Commercial calls the ticket OF
Hayes and Wheeler an admirable one,
making the platform it represents the
very heart and spirit of the splendid
antecedents OF the Republican party.
The Express (Democntic) says the
nominations made at Cincinnati are
admitted to be respectful In character,
and are men with some experience
. in civil service.
