ernor, Comptroller Robinson, State En-
gineer Van Buren, and four or five other
friends, Mr.. Newell took the dispatch
and read it to the Governor, "Is that
SOP" he inquired in the Calmest tones,
with not even a smile on his countenance
Subsequently the following dispatch was
received: .rs. ...a...
To Governor Samuel J. Tilden;
| congratulate you upon your enthusi-
astic nomination. Kentucky will most
heartily endorse you with her 10000 ma
jority. ~"
JOHN G. UNDERWOOD,
9l Lieut.. Gov. of Kentucky.
This was also read to the Governor,
who then exhibitedsign Of interest, and
inquired if any one knew what the vote
was, and what the platform contained
No one present could answer either
question. The Governor then drew four
OF five of those present about him, and
in tone scarcely above a whisper said
81 can tell you what has been DONE
This nomination was not made by the
leaders of the party; it was the people
who made it. They want reform; they
have wanted it for a long while, and in
looking about they have become convin-
ced that it is to be found here pointing
to himself. They want it. That is
what they are after. They are sick of
corruption and maladministration of af-
fairs. They want a change, and one for
the better; thorough reformation"
Other dispatches were then received,
conveying congratulations from all parts
of the country, in the midst of which the
Governor maintained an almost stolid
imperturability. A large number of
citizens and band of musicians at 12
o'clock proceeded to the Executive Man
sion. The Governor received them, sha-
king hands with large number, and re-
ceiving their congratulations. The crowd
then entered the grounds in front of the
mansion, when, after repeated calls, the
Governor stepped to the door and said
"Citizens Of Albany thank you for
this impromptu expression of your kind
regards. During my residence in your
city the past two years, l have received
many like demonstrations and assure
you | feel grateful to you. At some
other time will be glad to give you
more formal reception, and now will only
say good night"
The demonstration was very lively
one. .,.. ....
NEW YORK sun,
New York, June 28.-The Sun thanks
God for the nomination of Tilden, and
says: 1t is as reformer, and because
he is a reformer, that Tilden is selected
to lead the opposition in this Centennial
year, Such nomination cannot fail to
excite in every part of the country the
most hearty and hopeful enthusiasm
We admit no doubt of its success.
NEW YOBK WORLD.
The New York World says. Cincin-
natl gave the nation candidate without
a purpose on platform without mean
ing. st. Louis responds with candidate
whose name is the symbol Of reform, on
a platform which means peaceful revo-
luton in the conduct Of goveInment.-
The Democratic party had score Of can
didates men like Bayard, Thurman, AL.
len, Parker, CASTOR, English, tried and
proved in high public trusts, and devoted
to Democratic honesty and loyalty to
law. The enemies Of the Democratic |
party have toiled for months to identify
the name ofTilden alone with Democrat
ic reform, and foolish friends of Cover
nor Tilden blindly helped him in this
work. 1t was possible that it might have |
been found necessary to select some other
candidate at st. Louis and then we
would have had up hill work to show
that his name meant what our enemies
have saved us the trouble of proving,
what the name of Tilden means. Now |
the way is clear. The Republicans
made Bristow mean reform for them,
and Tilden meant reform for the Democ-
racy. Cincinnati trampled the name of
Bristow under foot, st. Louis sets the
name of Tilden in letters of light on the
banners of united Democracy. 'J
NEW YORK TRIBUNE. ''4"''l
The Tribune says: The Democratic
convention has fought bitterly but brief
y, has placed an admirable candidate on
l bad platform, and has now paused for
breath. Whichever side wins in the ap7
contest, we shall have Presi-
lent of high personal character, excel
ent record and honest sympathies and
associations. If Platforms, however,
,annot make the fortune of party, they
an mar it, and there is no doubt that
Governor Tilden will be insured in his
own State, by the shuffling phrases that
he convention has adopted respecting
he currency. Under the leadership Of
he honest, straightforward popular and
accomplished Ohio Governor, we look
or signal triumph ofthat party, which
n spite of all its errors, is still the safest
% be trusted with the honor and well
are of the United States. '".'' '.l
''' CINCINNATI ENQUIRER,
Cincinnati, June 28.-The Enquirer.
speaking of the nomination of Tilden,
jays: The nomination will fall heavily
lpon Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other
western States. There will be general
'evulsion all along the centre, for the
party in its wisdom has virtually aban-
loned these States. We prefer Tilden
% Hayes, and shall advise the Democrat
C organization to stand by the nominee.
The election of Tilden would signalize
;he triumph of certain Democratic prin-
,iples. We shall feel it our duty to coun-
'el harmony, forthe organization of the
Democratic party must be preserved
There is nothing for the Democratic par
y to do but 10 close its ranks, and move
forward to the music prepared at Saint |.
