st. Louis Times: The DARK Horse
has won the race for the Cincinnati
The Republican party
has abandoned its prominent and rep
reseutative men aud has fallen back
upon the Great Unknown. The only
man Though his name was legion un-
til yesterday of whom Mr., Blaine was
afraid, has gained the prize for which
the Maine statesman has passed
through such terrible struggle.
The effect OF the nominations made
Yesterday at Cincinnati will be to
unite the Democracy more harmoni-
ously for the great work of the coming
canvass. If the action of the C0nven-
ton in bringing out Hayes as com
promise candidate shall tend to allay
the sharp discussions that have of late
so greatly disturbed the peace Of the
Republican household, much more
will it profit the Democratic party by
creating a spirit of entire unity against
a consolidated enomy. 1t will
disabuse the Democrats leaders of what
promised to be an overconiidence Of
strength, in case any of the more
prominent Radical aspirants, with the
burden of their bad records to carry,
had borne off the honOrs. The contest
resolves itself at once into that of De-
mocracy pure and simple, with the
same unaduterated Republicanism
that has so long had its own way and
very shameful way, in the admins
tration of the Government. Evidently |
then, all uncompromising, aggressive
policy-directed at the abuses of the
party in power its Infamous corrup-
tions and its manifestIy sectional prin-
ciples-is the only policy upon which
Democrats can expect to win the
fight. The purity, the honor, the
prosperity-even the stability OF the
Government are involved, and out of
these are to be produced the issues of
the campaign,
