T1OMS,
The following endorsement and CON-
Of tho Republican ticket by
Harper's Weekly, we feel confident will
be heartily endorsed by our readers:
The ticket nominated at Cincinnati
commands a most cordial approval.
II - one upon which all Republicans
who have labored for reform within tho
party can most gratefully and heartily
unite. mot only as the sure earnest Of
victory. but as a sign ofthe power ofthe
better Republican sentiment. Mr.. Bris-
tow, who did not seek nor expect a NOM
nation. win undoubtedly be entirely
satisfied with the action Of the Conven-
ton, and his supporters may be sure
that his spirit, If not his name. Is at
both ends Of the ticket. Tho long and
ardent struggle which preceded the
nominations ended when tho names Of
Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio. and
William A. Wheeler, of New York,
were presented TO the country. The ri
val candidates for the foremost place or
the ticket fastened to express, in the
most cordial terms, their approval of thu
work Of the Convention. and the Re
lican party will present an unbroker
front In the approaching campaign.
The ticket is unexceptionablo in ev
cry sense and from every point Of view
Governor Hayes is a man whose char
acter in private and public life is above
reproach and above suspicion. All tina
II known of him Is most creditable. III
was q brave man and capable soldier in
the war, and has displayed marked ex'
ecutive ability in the administration o
civil affairs. Three times he has de
feated the most popular Democratic
leaders In Ohio, and his most bitter po
litical opponents were compelled to ad
NIT that his administration rs Govcrnol
was invulnerablc to criticism, and tina
his hold upon the confidence of the
people was won by infexible integrity
aud high states mar like qualities. In
der his leadership. the Presidential cam
paign will be aggressive and enthusiast
tic.
Equally fortunate Is the selection of
name for the second place on the ticket
William A. Wheeler during his congress
sional career has won the respect ant
confidence of the best men of both par
ties, and his nomination will be a sourc,
Of strength not only in New York, New
England. and the West, but in sewers
Of the Southern States whose electors
vote has been considered doubtful O
conceded TO the Democratic party
His record in Congress is clear and &C
mirable. and his claims upon the con
fidence ofthe country rest upon service
of high value which is freely admitted b
his political opponents.
The conbination of these names form
\ ticket on which all tho friends Of II
form and honest government can hear
lily unite. Not a word Of evil can |
spoken if either. Conspicuously inco
rnptiblc, thoroughly identified wit
the reform element in the Republics
party, and in full accord with the spir
which demands the elevation OF the pu'
lie service and its emancipation fro,
the rule of machine polit les, the mt
nominated at Cincinnati will lead Il
Republican party through no doubt
fight. No ticket nominated
st. Louis can present better or equal
popular names. The country is not y
prepared to turn over the control OF Il
national government to the Democra
ic party. The -alacrity displayed in G
dorsing the Republican ticket by tho
who were rivals OF Governor Hayes f
the nomination, insures for it the unit
support of the party and an overwht
ming popular triumph in November.
