Our Standard Bearers.
With no lack Of respect for the unsuccess-
full candidates, we can not do less than con
graduate the Republican party, aud espe-
cially the champions Of political reform,
upon the ticket nominated at Cincinnati.
Governor Hayes is universally admitted TO
be man of excellent ability aud very high
character Not whisper has ever been
heard against him, and even his political OPP
ponenis bear testimony 10 his purity and
worth. Less known TO the people than Mr..
lir.tow, perhaps, he IS widely known ~
man with clear head, sound Judgment,
patriotic record, and above all, clean hands
"a stranger to the lobby, and with no en-.
tangliug business alliance with gamblers in
the public credit For the nomination Of a
man so pure, publicly and privately, and at
the same time so identified with the great
reformatory policies that the prevailing cor.
ruption has made so essential, the conven.
ton will deserve and receive the grateful
thanks Of the country. Mr.. Wheeler is also
man OF solid judgment, irreproachable
character. great Independence, and wide pop
ularity In short the ticket will command
the enthusiastic support Of the whole Repub-
lican party, including the friends Of reform,
who stood ready to leave it if its nominations
had proved unworthy. There is no farther
danger We appreheud Of third party. And
no ticket which the democrats can nominate
will stand the least chance of either winning
the independent vote, or Of carrying the
country. ." by this sign We conquer"
As the best possible expression of the
popular judgment concerning these nomina-
tons, we give the following liberal extracts
from leading journals, statesmen and poll
ticians Of the country
