The Republican Nominations.
The nominations of the republican par
ty for President and Vice President of the
United States are meeting with strong pop
ular approval. The more they are dis
cussed the more do they commend them
selves to the public judgment. On all
sides the ticket is mentioned as an excel
lent one. The famous campaigns of Gov
ernor Hayes in Ohio have made his name
widely known in the country. and given
him prestige that indicates and will aid
in the achievement of success in the ma
tional contest. Mr.. Wheeler has made
bis mark in the halls Of Congress. His
record there is an honor to him. 1t is
one that every citizen of the United States
should respect. Both men have served
their country well, the former as well In
the "tented field" as in places of civil
trust and high responsibility.
No ticket could have been nominated at
Cincinnati that would more completely
have conciliated and gathered to itself the
support of the various and conflicting in
terests represented in the national conven-
ton than that OF Hayes and Wheeler. The
nomination of Mr.. Blaine would have
aroused deeper enthusiasm but not more
unity in the republican ranks. The friends
of Mr.. Blaine, if they could not have their
favorite, were satisfied to accept in good
faith the nominations made and to pledge
the full republican vote of Maine for
Hayes and Wheeler. And so OF all the
friends of other candidates in the Cincin.
natl convention. 1t was the common re-
mark among delegates disappointed as to
their first choice, that they were satisfied
to accept the ticket nominated and go
home and work for its success in Novem-
ber North and South, East and West,
the feeling was alike favorable for the
ticket.
The reception Of the nominations by the
republican press is cordial and enthusiast
tic generally. The candidates are men
toned in high terms Of praise, and their
election is considered as certain as the
coming OF November. According to re-
ports the liberal republicans who went off
in the Greeley movement are making
haste to give in their adhesion to Hayes
and Wheeler. At the recent State con
vention in Maine there was large num-
Der of that class present as delegates. and
according to appearances nearly all those
wanderers will return to the republican
fold. What is true in Maine in this re
gard is also true in other States. In the
State of New York nearly all the liberal
republican papers have run up the names
of Hayes and Wheeler, while in clubs. in
public meetings. and other ways, the
Greeley men are coming out and taking
their position squarely in the republican
ranks.
The enthusiasm in New York and Ohio
for the ticket is especially noticeable
