on1, puE mea1s aotl=izzs lat nIsdiOCritY.
Governor Hayes IA go0d man, has 8
fair, safe record, and his personal char
acter is stainless. He wRe 6 quiet, SEN
sible congressman, Is q modest, genial
man, aud is now fair governor. L
elected, he will bring these qualities
with him into the White House; but
he has no euoh hold upon the
country as Blaine, or Morton, or COnk
ling, or Wsshburne. BE happened to
have fewer edges than any other candi
date, and the party took him, 1t may
be choice as wise as that of Lincoln, or
as foolish as that CT Tyler. Time must
decide this. Mr.. Wheeler, the candi
date for Vice President, stands well in
this State. Hayes and Wheeler will
poll the party vote. They will csIl out
the solid, hard working party men.
Hayes and Wheeler represent the aver

NEW YORK SUN. ...
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Sun says
that Hayes is q candidate whose weak.
ness and unim portapce are his principal
recommendations to the Republican par
| ty. His name, in congress or elsewhere,
has been identified with no policy, or
measure, or action Of any kind. He has
no marked powers that have been
brought into play; he has no strong
points Of character; he has been but 3
| likely man in politics. Above all, Hayes
| is no refOrmeY. He is not the man to
clean out political corruption, to destroy
the desperate rings which have got hold
of the country, or TO do anything to oh
viate the abominatioa OF Grantism.

President by the Cincinnati convention
is g surprise to the whole country, and q
bitter disappointment to the party lead

prove his opportunities to become dis.
tiDguished. His candidacy will creSte
no such fiIrore as would that Of Blaine,
the msgnetic partisan leader. AS to
whether he can be beaten or not, the To-

and best that could be made.

NEW YORK WORLD.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE World
says Governor Hayes is collapse, not a
compromise. Governor Hayes has re-
spectacle abilities and q good private
