CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
Hayes ana Wheeler the Nominees.

Hayes ana Wheeler the Nominees.
The National Republican Conven
ton, after stormy session, during
last week, on Friday succeeded il
making nominations for Presiden
and Vice President. The candid
ates before the convention were
Blaine, Morton, BriStow, Conkling
Hantranft, Jewell, Wheeler, Wash
barne, and Hayes.
First ballot: Blaine 2S5, Morton
Il24, Bristow ll3, Conkling 80,
Hartranft IS, Jewell II, Washburne
/, Hayes 81.
Blaine and Hayes each gained
votes on every ballot afterwards cast
and it was evident on the sixth ballot
that Blaiue, being 1913 ahead OF
Hayes, would get the nomination,
when the Morton, Bristow and Conk
ling delegates went over in body
to Hayes, deciding the contest and
defeating the "bloody IIyena," on
the sever tt ballot, by five majority
On the 9TH ballot the vote stood
for Blaine 35l, Bristow 2l, and
Hayes 3S4.
The Games placed before the con,
yention for Vice President we're
Stewart l. Woodford, Gov, Hawley,
Frederick I Frelinghuysen and
William A. Wheeler. During the
first vote, the two first named gem
tlemen withdrew and Wheeler was
nominated by reclamation.
Rutherford B. Hayes, the Presi
Dental nominee, is about fifty years
of age, and is now Governor of
Ohio, and has been elected Cover
nor three times, having gained no.
toriety and prominence by defeat
ing Bill Allen last year. He served
in the Federal army during the war
and made a good soldier, it is said,
and left the ranks as a Brigadier
General He has been a member
o; Congress, and is lawyer of only
ordinary ability. lie is said to be
man of good character and stand
ing. He is the great "unkown."
William A. Wheeler, of New
York, who was nominated Vice
President, is about fifty years old, a
lawyer, and at present member of
Congress, to which position he has
been elected four or five times.
These two NEW men, whom the
Radicals had to nominate as party
necessity, to save a sinking ship,
are men possessing neither quali:i,
cations of craftsmanship or leader
ship. Mediocrity is their average
ability. While Blaine was the
choice of the worse element of Rad
icalism, he was sacrificed because Of
his corruption and trading princi
pies, load too heavy for the party
to carry to success, and the JOURNAL
rejoices that the beast has been slain
in the house of his friends.

Southern man. 1t was a revolution

Over Again.

When the poplars patter,
You can hear her talk,
When the wild wind rises,
And mighty shadows stalk
The lovely, ghostly lady
That haunts the garden walk.
The chains that bind the poplars
Swing and clank and twist;
When the moon comes breaking
Through the banks of mist,
You will see the tilmv fetter
That chains the tilmy wrist.
When that sudden moonshIne,
Weird and white, shall burst,
The shrouding gloom will kindle,
With splendor interspersed.
All, how fair the face is =
How fair and how accurst.
What eternal longing,
What pitiful disdain,
In the great eyes glory
Flashing back again
Those swords of the archangels
Crossed in eternal pain!
Around her all the roses
Shake all their velvet leaves;
The summer nights vast sweetness
Bends down to her. and cleaves,
TO hide with dew and darkness
The darker things she greves.
What is it such wan passion
Forever whispereth:
Why echoes all our laughter
such sobbng underbreath?
Why trails across our pleasure
That darker thing than death:
Come in, come in; the moon sets.
And horror arms her hosts;
All, what Il storm comes heaylng
Far up these lonely coasts.
Oh, hasten, love and lover.
Lest We. too, turn to ghosts.
