antee that the party has shaken of
the influences which threatened to
paraly it and will command the
approval of independents and liber-
ais. With such nominees the repub-
lican party can listen to no such word
as fail. Blaine gave another exam
pie of his manliess and warmth of
heart by frankly pledging his sup
port.
The World says: The nomination
of Hayes is collapse, not a coDpro-
mise, and describes him as a eolorless
candidate upon a platform of plati-
tudes, who shoulders all of the ad-
ministratioD sins. The writer grants
hayes respectable ability and good
private character, but says he lacks
Lincoln's genius of popularity.
The Herald says: 1t was dra-
matte, picturesque fighting convention
Ohio and Maine were the only states
which stood by their colors unfalter-
ing. Blaine came out of the fght as
much the leader as Henry Clay did
in his palmiest days. So far as Blaine's
defect is concerned we have only
congratulations for the Republican
party and country. The ticket is a
fair one; it means nothing but medi-
ocrity.
The N. Y.,Sun says ofthe nominees
Hayes Is a candidate whose weakness
and unimportance are his principal
recommendations to the Republican
party; his record is brief and slight.
In congress he was one of the obscur-
est members; his name there or else
where has never been Unidentified
with any policy or measure or action
Of any kind; he is not the man to
obliterate the abomination of Grant
ism. The Cincinnati Convention had
strong men like Morton and Conk-
ling, practical reformer in Bristow,
notorious jobber and trickster in
Blaine; but it selected a man nm
known to craftsmanship, reform and
party traditions. 1t took him as the
only hope of averting the triumph
of the great corruptionist with whom
theparty would have been whirled to
the ruin which awaits it in any
event.
The Inter-Ocean after reviewing
his political life and his great popu-
larity in Ohio, his sterling worth and
ability, declares that Mr.. Blaine ex-
cepted, Gov. Hayes has as many
elements of positive leadership as
any man whose name came before
the convention, and his name is more
intimately associated with recent
victories. No man could bring out
the full strength of the party more
than he WILTON no man can the warm
partisans of other candidates unite
so readily.
The Chicago Times says the nomin-
alton of II. b. Hayes for President
by the Cincinnati Convention is
surprise to the whole country and
bitter disappointment to the party
managers, whose combinations have
thus been brought to naught. The
article speaks of HIM as quiet and
rather obscure Ohio gentleman. who
has failed to improve his opportunity
to become distinguished. His candi-
dacy will create no such furore as
would that of Blaine, the magnetic
partisan leader; whether he can be
beaten will depend on whether wis
dom or folly shall prevail at ST.
Louis.
The Chicago Tribune in an editor
ial commenting on the nominations
at Cincinnati says: The convention
won double victory for the country
in nominating ticket which will be
heartily accepted and endorsed by
Republicans and reformers in all parts
of the country. The convention has,
it asserts, earned the thanks of the
American people for the courage and
devotion which it brought to the
selection of q ticket entitled to the
respect and confidence of the nation.
