COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
On the Cincinnati Nominations

dLbANi, Juuc 1t.-llc NOMINATION.
of Hayes and Wheeler gives the
greatest satisfaction to Republicans
here. Tonight one hundred guns
were fired in response to the Cincin-
natl nominations.
COLUMBUS, o., June 6.-Hundrcds
of citizens have called on Governor
Hayes to tender their congratulations.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The first an
nouncemcnt of the nominations was
not received with the most marked
enthusiasm, but there is q feeling
among thinking men that the nomi-
nations will prove wise, and that the
support they viii receive here WILDE
of the strongest kind. No demon
stration has been made Tonight.
His candidacy will create no such
fhrore as would that Of Blaine, the
magnetic partisan leader. Whether
he can be beaten depends on whether
wisdom or folly shall prevail ali ST.
Louis. The ZHtey-Ocean, after re-
viewing his political life and his great
popularity in Ohio. his sterling worth
and ability, declares that Mr.. Blaine
excepted, Gov. Hayes has as many
elements of positive leadership as any
man whose name came bcfore The con-
vention, and his name Is more init
mately associated with recent victo-
ries. No man can bring out more
fully the strength Of the party than he
will on no other candidate can thsc
warm partisans of the other candidate
unite so readily. He is able and ex-
pericnced, man to be proud of, and
a candidate that viii arouse ali the
enthusiasm and call out all the LOYAL
ty of the Republican masses.
The local press agree in the belief
that the nomination of Wheeler for
the second place on the ticket was the
best and strongest that could be made.
The Tribune tomorrow, in an edi-
torial commenting on to-day's nomi-
nations at Cincinnati, says: The con-
vention won a double victory for the
country in nominating a ticket which
will be heartily accepted and endors-
ed by Republicans and rcformers i'm
all parts of the country.
New YORK, June l6.-The Times
says the action Of the convention was
a surprise, but it will command the
approval of large majority of the
Republicans, and the ticket will have
the cordial support of the whole par
". The Tribune eulogizes Hayes and
Wheeler, and says the Liberals and
Observation-Disclosures will sustain
the ticket. The reform element of
the party will feel that its just de-
mand has been considered.
The combination is indeed the most
formidable suggested on either side.
and although it cannot be ssid the
coast is entirely clear while the De-
mocracy have yet to be heard from.
it seems almost certain that HAYES
and Wheeler are to be the officers in
augurated next March.
ST. Louis, June l6.-There is a
growing impression that the ticket is
a very strong one, and will command
the full Republican vote and many
independents. The Globe Democrat
(Blaine) calls the ticket very strong.
CHICAGO, June l6.-So far as can be
learned from scattering dispatches.
tO-day's work at Cincinnati has been
received in the country if not with
the greatest enthusiasm, with the
greatest satisfaction. In some places
salutes have been fred and much de-
light manifested.
New YORK, June 1.-THE Eceni,g
Post congratulates the Republicans on
their work yesterday, in escaping
from q fatal error into which they
were in danger Of falling. At the
last moment they have indicated
their political honesty and partisan
sagacity. The Republican leaders
will give Hayes a hearty and more
united support than to any one else
before the convention.
The Commercial states that the
platform and ticket are admirable.
SAN Francisco, June 1.-THE CdH
says the nomination Of Hayes will
consolidate the Republican party.
His reputation is most impregnablc.
The Chronicle calls the ticket strong.
Republicans now will carry no dead
weight through the canvass.
The Atlas comments are similar.
There is considerable disappointment
among the Republicans that Blaine
wasn't nominated, but no dissatisfac-
ton with Hayes, who is, next to
Blaine, the most popular man. Wheel
er's nomination gives universal salts
faction.
NEW YORK, june 1.-THE tygrpress
(DemOcratic) says the nominations
made at Cincinnati are admitted to
be respectable in character. OF the
men it says, they have some expert
ence In civil service. Speaking Of the
st. Louis Convention, the same paper
says, "the selection of a Western man
and a Governor by the Republicans
may lead to the choice of a Governor
and Democrat from the West with
Vice President from the East.
K CHICAGO, June l7.-The Chicago
Journal in giving a sketch Of the life
Of Mr.. Hayes, concludes with the as
sertion that the responsibilities Of the
Chief Magistlacy Of the Republic
could not fall upon a nobler or
safer man than Rutherford B. Hayes.
The same may be said of the nomin-
alton of Wheeler for Vice President,
whose name gives decided strength
to the ticket in this city and vicinity,
where the preferences of Republicans
were divided between Blaine and
Bristow. The nominations were re-
ceived with quiet satisfaction and
cheerful acqniesence, which goes to
snow that his friends were right i'm
that Hayes, though nobody's
first choice, was cverybody's second
choice.
The Post and Nal says that while
The West was disappointed blythe
failure to nominate Blaine, II greatly
prefers Hayes to any of the other can
and will give him the same
cordial aud united support 1t would
have given the favoritc. The nomi-
nation Is conspicuously judicious and
