THE PRESS ON THE NOMINATION
OF TILDEN.
The opinions of the press, pro and
con-, regarding the nomination OF Til
den for the presidency, will doubtless
be of interest to our readers. We
therefore append such rs have reached
us by telegraph or mail. Our first ex-
tract IL from tho SEN Francisco Cail
independently, which says: "He is the
best Democratic exponent,of tho idea
Of retrenchment and reform. He was
elected on that platform two years ago,
and has been true to II amid many
temptations to forego his promises.
His light with the Canal Ring Of New
York has made him many enemies In
his party in that State; but in the
last ten years no greater service has
been done for the people. His record
in that contest secured his nomination.
The National Democratic party take
him up, and, demanding reform in the
General Government as we'll rs in the
State, present to the people the most
conspicuous reforner Of the day. His
nomination means an aggressive cam
paign. 1t means that the Democrats
realize the necessity of going into the
Republican party for votes. Other
candidates might have better harmon
lied the party, but non probably has
so strong a hold on the large class of
voters who hold honest government to
be more important than party sue

nation of Governor Tilden, the De-
mocracy has ono again secured as It's

ocrat; one whose record Is above re-
proach, and upon whom the entire
strength Of the party an conscience
ously concentrate. With remarkable
ability and aggressive force,
he possesses, In An eminent degree,
the chief characteristics indispensably
requisite in a great leader; and In no
instance has this peculiar power been
more strongly manifested than in the
utter routing, horse, foot and dragons,
of the combined cohorts Of corrupt
over the beaten and demor-
ranks of which he seized the
prize they SO vigorously sought to
wrest from his grasp"
The New York Tribune says that the
St. Louis Convention has placed an
admirable candidate on u bad platform.
