The Democrats have discovered that Hayes
and Wheeler are candidates that it will be hard
for them to defeat. One of their principal
organs, the New York World, advises them to
give up the expectation Of securing any part
OF the Independent vote. It says
No man in his senses in any part Of the
country can any longer delude himself into tue
belief that any candidate whom the Democrats
may nominate will be supported by the so-cslled
Reform Republicans OF the north and west
That journal then proceeds TO call for .
'strictly Democratic candidate, and . ''strictly
Democratic campaign" The more they ex-
anime the situation, the more apparent it be-
comes that the Cincinnati convention did the
very best thing in its power to unite and
strengthen the Repu olican party, which is very
discouraging to Democrats. The Republicans
begin the canvass in high hopes and buoyant
spirits; and the Independents have the salts
faction OF knowing that Hayes and Wheeler are
candidates for whom they may cast their suf-
frages with full assurances they personate all
the good qualities possible to combine in one
ticket.

The Hon. w. D. Kelley writes as follows OF
Gov. Hayes 81 know Hayes well, having
messed with him and hts wife while he was in
Congress. He is strong man, we'll balanced,
with large experience as soldier, as governor
Of Ohio, as Congressman, and as a lawyer,
who, whenever out OF public duty, has found
that kind OF practice which proves that he has
steadily enjoyed the confidence of business men
and people OF estate. His means are liberal.

are simple and his hospitality boundless and
during his administration the White House
will be presided over by a modest, intelligent,
cultivated and sprightly woman, with pair Of
laughing eyes as black and bright as your OVID,
and who, il proud Of anything in her husbands
career, it is the hesrtiness OF his life and his
freedom from ostentation."

In commenting on the work OF the late re-
publican convention at Cincinnati, the New
Y ork Tribune holds tina. there is but one voice
nominees-Hayes and Wheeler. The republi-
can press OF all localities represent the senti-
ment 10 be readiness to accept the choice Of
che convention not only with ciyility, but with
satisfaction. II appears that Mr.. Hayes was
really tho irst choice OF but few, but was the
sec ond choice Of every opposing faction in the
convention, and stood so high with all that it
was no great trial or effort, when they found
themselves Obliged to give up their pets and
real pref ersnces, TO fall back on 80 worthy and
excellent substitute. Therefore the nomina-
ton srouses no bad feelings-fans no animosi-
ties
The rivals whose names were on everybody's
hips three weeks ago, have swallowed their per-
sonal and bitter disappointments quite easily
because all went down together. All are pre-.
pared TO enter the canvass for Governor Hayes
and labor for his success with earnestness.
Blaine. Morton, Bristow and even Conkling
and thor supporters, go into the canvass as
enthusiastic supporters OF Hayes and Wheeler.
OF the Cincinnati convention would produce
outbreaks in the republican ranks that would
be certain to endanger the ticket il it did not
defeat 1t. No such result has vet manifested
itself. nor is it likely to. for the candidacy OF
Mr.. Hayes, before the convention, was so mild
and 30 eminently fair and unobtrusive that no
snimosities or resentments were engendered or
provoked The close OF the convention found
the republican party more firmly cemented ss
one grand unit than il had been for some time
en- the past. The same cannot be said OF the
democratic party, for some of the factions that
opposed Tildep, left St. Louis unreconcied
and swearing vengeance.
Tho New York Tribune, in commenting on
tho Cincinnati nominations. holds this lam
gusge:
80 There is no danger now OF . third candi-
date, whoever may be nominated 1t st. Louis.
The Independents as q body, while reservipg
their liberty Of action until the democratic
ticket Is put into the field, are prepared to &C
Dept Hayes rs gentleman Of pure life and
honest purposes, under whom We may expect
decent Administration, and hope for substantial
REFORM. They perceive that Ia the nomination
OF man who has had no connection with the
scandals OF the administration and no afhilis-
nons with any Rings, whose personal character
M soove reproach, and whose public record
Is thoroughly honorable, they have
Won 90 important victory, and they are not dis
posed TO grumble because the victory n not
more decisive or has not been won in the pro
c'se way they desired"

betrayed such immediate and fatal barrenness
OF ideas and such utter inability to grasp such
