WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Chicago Courier: The Maine
chance wasn't Caldwell on the sev-
enth ballot.
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer: Hayes won
because of his comparative OBJ
security.
Chicago Courier: It seems that
the credentials Of the Mulligan del
egation were accepted at the Ohio
revival.
Boston Post: "Well, what do
you think of er- er er-what's his |
name-oh, Hayes?" said one Repnb-
lican to another. "Oh, so SO" was
the reply; shut don't think he's so
good man as er-er-er what do-yOu-
call him, er-er Wheeler"
N. Y. Herald: Perhaps the hum
blest, the truest, but not the most
enthusiastic encOmium on any of
the candidates was that bestowed
on Hartranft-.He knows enough
to know that he don't know every
thing" That might suit Hayes.
N. 7. Euening Post: A strong
candidate may strengthen some Of
the weak spots of . platform which
is barely able to stand alone; but if
a weak candidate is put upon a
weak platform both will fall tOgeth-
er, and the Republican party with
them.
| N. Y. Journal Of Commerce: The
nomination OF Governor Hayes for
the presidency is virtual avowal
that the Republican party prefers
not to challenge the judgement Of
the country on any of its members
: who has been hitherto known in
connection with national affairs.
!, N. 7. Sun: But it selected a
man unknown to craftsmanship, un-
known to reform, and unknown in
party traditions; it took him as the
only hope OF averting the triumph
Of the great corruptionist, with
whom the party would have been
whirled to the ruin which awaits it
: in any event.
I Ne,o York Cypress: On the whole,
! we are of opinion that this new
: platform is as much of a hnmbug as
e were all the old ones of the same
e party. Four years ago one of the
g main planks in their declaration o.
Q principles, was that of civil service
+ reform. Every body knows how they
: have lived up to it.
! Hartford Post (Rep:) There i.
. much irrelevant matter in the plat
: form, designed to meet the views o
. different classes and sections, but
!, as whole, it is not the strong anl
Il ringing document we had hoped t,
'" see. Evidently it is patch work o
L conflicting views, and not calculated
: to produce any lasting influence
Is upon the canvass.
81 Cincinnati Commercial: The Re
e publican party may becongrstulatet
is upon the nomination of Hayes as al
= escape from the skeleton clutch,
as Colonel Ingersoll would say, Q
Blaine. They have not made th
!. strongest nomination possible, bu
! perhaps the best of which the part
is capable. They have not mad
D. victory sure.
=, Philadelpkia Press: Had Blain
"a been nominated Pennsylvania woul
os have rung with grateful responses
e. At it is, even the respected name {
ID Governor Hayes failed at first t
)e awaken even the slightest enth,
re- siam, and while our people lat
m night retired to their beds Statistic
:. with him, they were thoroughly col
~ WINGED that they had been deprive
- Of their favorite by the lowest arl
= of contriving politicians.
N. 7. Sam: Hayes's respectable
cannot be made q cloak to cover q
~ such fostering Republican sores q
= Belknap, Bobcock, Robertson, an
=, Blaine. The people will not forge
10 that the party which nominate
nc Hayes is the one which has fostere
es Grantism and brought disgrace Q
la the American name. There can
lie no effective reform 50 long as I'd
IL Republican party is in power, wit
~ it's weil-oiled machinery kept ru1
n ming by an army Of of6ceholders.
