Press Comments.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking of the
nomination of Tilden, says the nomiuation
Will fall heavily upon Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, and other western states. There will
be revulsion all along the center for the
party In its wisdom has virtually abandoned
tnese states. We prefer Tilden TO Hays and
shall advise the democratic organizations
TO stand by the nominees. The election of
Iilden would signalize the triumph OF GER
our duty TO counsel harmony for the organi-
cation OF the democratic party. 1t must be
preserved. There Is nothing for the demo-
cratic party to do but to close ranks and
move forward to the music prepared at st.
Louis.
The N. Y. World says: Cincinnati gave
the nation a candidate without purpose,
on platform without meaning. st. Louis
responds with candidate whose name is

means peaceful revolution in the conduct
OF the government. The democratic party

we should have had uphill work to show

saved us the trouble OF proving, that the
name OF Ttlden means now the way is clear
The republicans made Bristow mean reform
for them, and Tilden reform for the democ-
racy. Cincinnati trampled the name of
Bristow underfoot. ST Louis sets the name

TIE Stats Zeitungis entirely satified with
Tilden's nomination and the platform, and
will support them cordially.
The n. Y. Sun says IL was evident Tilden
would be nominated for a long time past;
we none the less thank God IL is done. We
care not for party, but in the interest of the
country this opens a way for escape from
evils and dangers which threaten the repub-
lie. The nomination cannot fail to excite in
every part of the country the most hearty
and hopeful enthusiasm. We admit no
doubt OF its success.
The New York Herald says: It must be
conceded by friends and enemies alike that
Tilden has proved himself one of the abIest
and most astute managers that ever ap-
peared In American politics. Having never
held but one important office he lacks the
Washington experience OF Thurman, Hen
bricks, and Bayard. His nomination, there
fore, is tribute to his character and capa-
city, and he may be proud whether he wins
or not. His nomination is not equivalent
TO an election. He will have a hard battle
still the country has reason to congratulate
itself. The platform OF both parties are so
excellent that whether Hayes or Tilden be
elected the country IL equally sure Of a good
government
