Chicago, June 1.-THE Evening
Journal, in giving a sketch of the life
of Mr.. Hayes, concludes with the as
sertion that the responsibilities of the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic could
not fall upon a nobler or a safer man
than Rutherford b. Hayes. and the
same may be said of the nomina-
ton of Wheeler for vice-president,
whose name gives decided strength to
the ticket.
Memphis. June 1.-THE nomination
of Hayes and Wheeler, though en-
tirely unexpected, is well received by
Republicans here. The Democrats
generally regard it as insuring the
nomination of Tiiden, and some con-
graduate themselves hat il the Gin
cinnati nominees are elected the
country will secure n good admiuistra-
ton.
The Appeal (Dem.) does not think
him a strong man, but an improve
ment on Blaine.
San Francisco, June l7.--In COM
menting on the nominations at Gin
cinnati, the Morning Call says:
We regard this as a strong ticket.
The nomination of Hayes viii consol-
idate the Republican party. The
country has heard less Of him than of
Blaine, Morton, Conkiing or Bristow,
but it has heard only good. We do
not know a prominent man with a
more impregnable reputation.
The Chronicle remarks that the
ticket is a strong one, q fact which
viii be. more generally recognized than
it now is when the stress of the can
vass begins to be felt. Republicans
can now enter upon the canvass carry
ing no weight, and free to wage an
aggressive warfare. Hayes is in point
of availability the wisest choice that
could have been made, with the single
exception of Bristow.
The Alta says that in common with
the vast majority of Republicans of
this city, we feel a measure of disap-
pointment at the defeat of Blaine as n
candidate for the presidency. but that
effect will pass away the more they
know of Gov. Hayes and his antece-
dents. Ofall the candidates before the
convention, next to Blaine, Governor
Hayes is the most popular. The gen.
eral sentiment, SO far as it has found
expression, seems to be hal Hayes is
the second choice of almost everyone,
and the nomination will secure the
united support of the party. The only
sore-heads, if there be any, will be
found among the federal brigade.
Wheeler's nomination also gives gen.
eral satisfaction.
New York, June 1.-THE Evening
Post editorially says: The Republicans
are to be 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. They s~ignalized that
hour by an act which goes far to vim
dictate their political honesty and their
partizan sagacity. The Republican
leaders will give Hayes a hearlier sup
port than they would have given any
man before the convention.
The Commercial Advertiser calls the
ticket of Hayes and Wheeler an ad-
mirable one. Like the platform it
represents the very heart and spirit
and splendid a~ntecedents of the Re-
publican party.
The Express (Dem.) says the nomi-
nations made at Cincinnati are admit
ted to be respectable in character and
of men with some experience in public
service. Speaking of-the forthcoming
Louis convention, the same paper
says the selection of a western man
and a governor by the Republicans
may lead to the choice of agovernor
and q Democrat from the west, with q
vice-president from the east.
