The nomination of Samuel J. Tilden
OF New York, for the presidency, by the
st. Louis convention, upon a double
faced platform as to the currency ques-
ton, is the strongest evidence of the
invulnerable strength of Hayes and
Wheeler with the masses of the people,
yet offered. With formidable divIs-
ion of the party opposed to him in his
own State, with the conviction that he
canGot command either the enthusiastic
or cordial support Of large nunlbers of
his party III the west, the convention
nevertheless was coerced by the Wall
street and railroad influence into accept
ing him as the standard-bearer during
The prtscnt campaign. That Mr.. Til
den las used large sums of money to
ceded by the press of both parties. Mon
ey may bc a strong instrumentality with
which to command a nomination, aud
TO manufacture enthusiasm during a
campaign but it cannot procure suf-
ticient number of votes iii November
to influence the result, except in closely
contested States. The October cleo
tions are now conti;Ied to Ohio and In
diana. In these States, the Tilden tao
tics will be used to the utmost, with
the hope Of gaining the prestige of sue
cess from the first elections held after
the nominations are made, and with a
view of influencing New York in No
Yember In the three States named,
the political battle viii be conducted
with all the skill aud courage which
able leaders can command. On this
of both parties. Elsewhere the contest
will be leh principally to local infiueu-
ees but in these keys of the position
no Influence viii be left untried to
wrest trons each other the palm OF VIC
tory. Around Mr.. Tilden's banner
will be gathered the representatives of
the monopoly Influence of the nation,
who are naturally aIliei to the man
Tilden while tile platform viii be
appealed to as evidence that the party
is IL the interest of the people. The
Chicago Tribune truly portrays what
the character of the contest viii be in
the following paragraph:
The Republican party have now the
knowledge of whom they have to deal
with. They have to deal with des-
peTate, INSCRIPTIONS foe, armed with
immense wealth, controlling legion of
agents skilled IN all the machinery OF
fraudulent elections, and depsite all diff
ferences of opinion about men and meas
uTes, united to man for the purpose of
defeating the Republican party aud gain
ing possession of the government. The
fact that large majority of the people
are upquestiolIably in favor of Hayes
and Wheeler will not deter this Demo-
cratic party from making as vigorous
a fight As # it were assured of success.
The prize is too tempting, and has
been waited for too long, to be given
up without battle, the moro bitterly
TO be contested because Of its very des-
peration.
Mr.. Hendricks has received the nomi-
nation for Vice President. This is an
appropriate nomination; it corresponds
with the platform. Mr.. 1'ilden can
appeal 70 one part in justification Of bis
attitude and Hendricks the other. Il
will be surprising if before the canvass
is ended the two parts of the ticket do
not fall apart, the one going in one di.
roction and the other in another. Such
ipcongruous clements were never before
combined on national ticket in thli
country.-Er.
