The New York Sun pronounces the
Republican ticket a very weak, diluted
institution, secured by the trickery of the
administration and an off-shot of Grant
ism, and that it is Grantism alone, il
another form, pampered and sucked by
the Camerons, Conklings, Shepherds, and
the ringltes generally. 1t is thing moi
hard to beat, when the people understand
that the Grant faction really feathers the
tisket. Conservative.

THE CONVENTION.
Hayes, Of Ohio. and Wheeler, Of New
York, the Standard Bearers.

Our brief report Of the Cincinnati
last week brought its
proceedings up to Thursday evening.
The next morning the balloting for a
candidate for President commenced
amid great excitement. Six ballots
were taken without result, Mr.. Blaine
leading the field. On the seventh
ballot Morton and Bristow were with
drawn when the vote Of those candi-
dates, together with a majority of the
New York delegation and nearly half
of the Pennsylvania delegation con-
centrated on Hayes, thus securing
his nomination. A ballot was order
ed for Vice-President, but before the
result was announced the roll call
was suspended and VIM. A. Wheeler,
of New York nominated by acclama-
ton. The following is the result of
the several ballots:

other public trusts. The honest de-
mands of this class of citizens for
additional rights and privileges and
immunities, should be treated with
respectful consideration.
ZHirteenth-The Constitution con-
fers on Congress sovereign power
over the Territories of the United
States for their government, and in
the exercise of this power it is the
power and duty of Congress to pro-
hibit and extirpate in the Territories
that relic of barbarism-polygamy;
and we demand such legislation as
shall secure this end, and the entire
supremacy of American institutions
in all the Territories.
FomteenM-Thc pledges which
the nation has given to our soldiers
and sailors must be fulfilled. The
grateful people will always hold
those who periled their lives for the
country's preservation in the kind
est remembrance.
EyteentA-Wc sincerely deprecate
all sectional feeling and tendencies;
we therefore note with deep solicit
tude that the Democratic party
counts as it's chief hope of success
the electoral vote of an united South,
secured through the efforts of those
who were recently arrayed against
the North; and we invoke the ear
nest attention of the country to the
grave truth that I success thus
achieved would reopen sectional
strife and imperil national honor and
human rights.
Sinteenth-Wc charge the Demo
cratic party as being the same in
character and spirit as when it sym
pathized with treason; with making
its control of the House of Repre-
sentatives the triumph and the OPP
portunity of the Nations recent foes
with reasserting and applauding in
the National Capital the sentiments
of unrepenting rebellion; with send
ing Union soldiers to the rear and
promoting Confederate soldiers to
the front; with deliberately proposing
to repudiate the plighted faith of the
government; with being equally
false and imbecile upon the over.
shadowing the ends of justice, by it,
partisan management and the OBJ
struction of investigation; with prov
ing itself, through the period of it,
ascendancy in the lower house Of
Congress, utterly incompetent to ad-
minister the government. We warn
the country against trusting a party
thus alike unworthy, recreant and in
capable.
,Seyentcenth-The National AID
ministration merits commentator
for its honorable work in its man
agement of domestic and foreign at
fairs, and President Grant deserves
the continued hearty gratitude Of
the American people for his patriot
ism, and for his immense services il
war and in peace.

of getting good many votes from among
those who do not wear the livery of any
party. 1t is very strong nomination
Mr.. Wheeler is a strong candidate for
Vice-President. With this ticket before
the country, the Democrats can not afford
to fool much with their opportunity.
They must nominate their best man or
they are liable to be beaten.
Thus you see we have the opinion
of the New York Sun that although
the Republican ticket is ga very
weak, diluted institution" and "not
hard to beat" yet it is ga very
strong nomination." and the Dcmoc.
racy "must nominate their best man
or they are liable to be BEATEN
Clear as mud, amt it? and above all
complimentary to the Democracy.

Tho Result at Cincinnati

No Republican, nor any other man,
who hopes for reform and honest ad-
ministration has reason to be other
wise than proud and grateful to the
Republican National Convention for
its work last week. In the nominal
ton of Hayes and Wheeler it has
given the party the best and strong
est ticket possible for it to select
Now, that the natural feeling OF dis
appointment felt by the friends of the
unsuccessful candidates has subsidized,
this is freely admitted on all hands.
The response to the nominations from
all parts OF the country is more than
cordial, it is enthusiastic. Mr.. Hayes
will undoubtedly receive a heartier
and more united support from Repub.
licans than would have been possible
for any other candidate before the
Convention. He had the good will
and confidence of the friends of all
the other candidates. He re-unltes
and consolidates the Republican par
ty, bringing back to it the element
that for four years has been estranged
from it through doubts of its purpose
or desire to reform abuses. Gov,
Hayes is strong in his personal char
acter and his official record, against
which no man has dared to whisper
a word of dishonor. He is emphati-
cally a man of the people, doing his
duty we'll and faithfully in whatever
position he has occupied, and ground
ed III inflexible principle and integ-
rity. He is a growing candidate, who
will continue to develop strength and
popularity as the campaign pro-
crosses, and his sturdy character and
unimpeachable public record become
more generally known. There is
enough shown in the popular demon
STATIONS ofapproval so far to indicate
the triumph of the Republican party
in the coming contest.

The Inter- Ocean, by keeping up
its scurrilous assaults upon Secretary
Bristow, when he is no longer in the

not entirely unknown to fame, but
realizing that our readers will desire

biographies from the Chicago 7Fib

The Democratic sheet across the
the way presumes largely upon the
ignorance of It's readers when it de-
clares that the defeat Of Blaine and
the nomination of Hayes was brought
about through the "sharp manage
ment of Don Cameron" The object
is to make it appear that the nomina-
tons as made, were dictated by the
President and Cabinet, and in this
way to attach some stigma to them
The truth Is, however, that the in
fluence of Don Cameron was scarce
ly felt in the convention. He could
not control the Pennsylvania dele
cation, the individual members OF
which asserted their right to vote as
they pleased in spite of instructions,
and were sustained in it by the Con-
vention. If Don Cameron had influ-
ence anywhere, it was among the
Pennsylvania delegation, and if his
"sharp management" was exercised
in behalf of Hayes, it would be
among the delegates from his own
State. Now, the fact is, that on the
final ballot Blaine had majority of
the votes from Pennsylvania. Per-
haps the astute genius at the helm of
the Conservative can point out just
where Cameron's management"
came in. The whole secret OF the
nomination of Gen. Hayes was the
fact that he was the strong second
choice of a majority of the friends of
all the other candidates, and when it
became apparent that no one of the
leading candidates could be nomi-
mated the choice fell naturally and
inevitably upon Mr.. Hayes. 1t is
getting to be generally admitted by
all parties that the nomination could
not have come to a better man, or
one with purer record. This is shown
most clearly by the fact that papers
like the Conservative, with every dis
position to malign him, can find no
better basis of attack than the silly
charge that his nomination is the
work of the administration,

SECRETARY BRIsTow has rendered

Those persons who have been So
licitous to know "who Hayes is"
may have exact and full information
on that point by inquiring of any one
of three prominent Democrats and
candidates for the Presidential nomi-
nation. Thurman, Pendleton, and old
Bill Allen, are each acquainted with
Mr.. Hayes to their sorrow, having
each taken a stunning defeat at his
hands. Any one of these worthless
will be likely to speak feelingly and
appreciatively of the Republican can
didate for the Presidency.

GEORGE W. BEMIs, the candidate for
State Treasurer, is a splendid nomination.
We know whereof We speak, when we
say that there is no better, honester man
in the State of Iowa than George w.
Bemis, and that nobody can be found who
would discharge the duties of the Office
more faithfully or efficiently.
The above unsolicited and I'M
biased opinion is from the Mt. Pleas
ant Free Press, the ablest organ in
Iowa of the late Autobiography, now
Liberal, party. 1t would seem from
this honest expression of opinion
that the fact that Mr.. Bemis voted on
the railroad law as his conscience
and judgment dictated, and against
the wishes of 100000 petitioners"
has not the weight even in the minds
OF thinking Anti-Monopolists that
some hot heads would like to give it;
especially against the essential quail
ficatlons of honesty and efficiency
1t is possible that Mr.. Bemis is not
sound, on the tariff question, or the
disposition to be made Of the Indians,
or the Monaghan question, but we
know that he will make State Treas
urer who will do his whole duty and
can be trusted, and that, we appre.
bend, is all that the people will care
TO know in this contest.

WE ask our readers Of every polit
ical persuasion to read the platform
adopted by the National Republican
Convention at Cincinnati, and found
in our columns this week. 1t is in
every way superior to the usual utter
ances of political conventions. 1t is
able, earnest, outspoken and up to
the demands of the hour. 1t is a
declaration of principles that all
honest men ought to be proud to en-
dorse and subscribe to, and it is a
credit to the party that put it forth.
1t shows that the Republican party is
yet the party of principle, the hope
of pure and honest government, and
the bulwark of progress and reform.
1t shows that the better element of
the party is in the ascendency, and
intends to retain it's power.

success which will bring the re-

The record of the Democratic party
proves that it is idle to look for re

a party which is controlled by Its
Woods, Hills, and fuckers, and
which, while persistently assailing
