THE TICKET.

The action of the Cincinnati Conyan-
ton was something Of surprise, bat i
will command the approval OF q large
majority Of Republicans, and the ticket
Will nave the cordial support ofthe whole !
party. Gov. Hayes is a man Of Thon1 i
is impossible TO say word OF evil.
Personally he is not only above TeproacA, 4
but above suspicion. There are no dark
corners III his history which need inves-
tigation or have ever set the tongue OF
scandal wagging. He has been dis
tipguished soldier, an incorruptible
CongressmaD, an able and popular Gov
ernor. Outside of Ohio he has beeol
almost unknown until very recently; but
the high regard in which he is held by
his own people is tho best testimony toll
his private character. The TRIBUNE
certainly, which supported him sotstren-
uou5IY when he was fighting his gallant
fight for hard money against the Allen
and Cary mad men last year, can find mol
fault with his nomination now. The
Liberals and Independent Reformers
W ho lent al their strength to his canvass
in 1876 will sustain him in the trials Of
a broader but easier field. The reform
element Of the party will feel that its
Just demands hare been consulted in Lis
nomination and those who believe in
good money will see n his name better
pledge for speedy resumption than any
resolutions of Convention could give, I
and an ample compensation for the
vagueness of the platform.
Mr. Wheeler, like Gov. Hayes, is
sound Republican from conviction and /
not from the love of office. Like Gov.
Hayes, also, be is thoroughly and con-
spicousy honest man, to whom lnvestl-
CATION can bring no embarrassment, but I
only bright credit While he 4 in full /
accord with his party, he IS remembered |
with honor by the Independents for his
admirable conduct in the Louisiana
investigation and the dignified end tenn
perate report IN which he reboked the
errors of the Administration in dealing
with that unfortunate State. His name
is the very strongest that could have
been chosen for effect upon New J ork,
The combination indeed is one Of the
most Formidable that have been suggest
ed on either side, and although 1t cannot
be said that the course is entirely clear
while the Democracy have yet to be
heard from, it seems almost certain that
Hayes and Wheeler are to be the officers
inauperated next March Mr.. Blaine
has made magnificent fight and has
developed qualities Of leadership OF
which no ether candidate has shown
sign. Convinced that he had been most
unjustly attacked, THE TTIBUNE sup
ported him, and the extraordinary scenes
when MS name was mentioned at Gin
cinnati showed that he controlled not
merely the support but the synpathies |
Of very large section Of the RepGbIl-
can party. But his most ardent
friends must now admit, first,
that he had bitter enemies in his
own party; and secondly, that his
campaign, if he had been nominated,
would of necessity be defensive one.
There are no such objections o MessrS.
Hayes and Wheeler. They Representa-
cancellation and cordiality within theI
party. They will unite all the hitherto
Earring factions, and enable even Bristow
men and Conkling men TO march to the
polls together. The Convention more
over has shown great sagacity 10 consld-
ering the question Of locality The
nomination Of Gov. Hayes secures the
largest of the October States, whose vote /
must influence all the rest in November,
and the selection Of Mr. Wheeler does
all that is possible to appropriate the
vote Of New York. The Democrats will
find it almost impossible TO make more
popular ticket; we shall be glad TO see
them try TO make better one. : From
