ments upon tho Nomination of Gov
ernor Tilden.
While it is well known that thi. was not
our first choice, it is equally we'll known
that we regard Mr.. Tilden a very formida-
BILE candidate to head our ticket. AS q man
OF intellect, leader in reform, q statesman
OF broad conservative views, and a. lawyer,
MIR. Tllden's reputation is eminent through
out the country.-Richmond Enquirer.

confidence jim ones self is more than half
the battle. With almost any other man we
should have entered upon the canvass beset
by a thousand doubts and fears, but all these
may now be Observation-Disclosures Wig.
OUR GREAT TICKET. -
Wisdom, patriotism, and sound discre-
| ton prevailed ut st. Louis, and the result Is
that we have the strongest ticket the party
could furnish from the whole list OF its
most distinguished leaders.-1he State.
g.. State Papers Outside this City.
The same ardor which we brought 70 the
opposition Of Governor Tilden as an aspi-
rant will be henceforth dedicated to his sup
port as the candidate Of the Democratic
party Petersburg Inde1-Appeat.
THE CHAMPION OF REFORM.
Tilden is the Wellington OF the coming
Waterloo. The champion OF reform is the
champion OF the Democratic party.-Nor-
| folk Virginian.
TILDEN THE MAN.
While we preferred Bayard as matter OF
sentiment, or Hancock because OF onr belief
in his availability, we are prepared to SUP
port the Great Reformer with entire cor
duality. Norfolk Landmark.
PERSONALLY AND POLITICALLY HONEST.
One Of whom the party may be proud,
and for whom every Democrat, Conserva-
tive, Liberal Republican, and honest man
can conscientiously vote. A man person.
ally and politically honest, pure, and incor-
ruptible; a man whose ability as lawyer
and Il statesman has never been controvert-
ed. -Lynchbany Ne,rS.
.''-E Papers of ether States.
Governor Tilden's nomination is not
equivalent to an election, for this preslden-
tial election is to be one OF the most vigor-
Gus and most closely-conteSfcd that has ever
taken place in the history OF the country.
The result is so doubtful that the canvass
will have all the interest OF game in which
the skill OF the players keeps the Judgment
OF the spectators in suspense. The chances
are so doubtful that public expectation will
be kept on the qua Uiue throughout. 1t is
safe to say that we are entering on one OF
the most interesting, vigorously-contested,
and doubtful presidential contests that has
ever taken place since the organization OF
the Government.-Neo York Herald.
THE WORK AT ST. LOUIS.
The Democratic Convention has fought
bitterly but briefly, and after filing all the
st. Louis bar-rooms with riot for two or
three days has placed an admirable candi-
date upon bad platform, and has now
paused for breath. Ii was wise to nominate
for the presidency its very strongest man.
With new and rising statesman like Gov
ernor Hayes its case would have been hope
less.-Ne,o York Tribune.
FOR THE CoUSTRY'S INTEREST. 3.
We care not for party, but in the interest
~ fho fr1y
from evils and dangers which threaten the
republic. The nomination cannot fail to eX-
cite in every part OF the country the most
hearty and hopeful enthusiasm. We admit
no doubt OF its success.-Ne,o York Sun.
..... SYMBOL OF REFORM.
Cincinnati gave the nation a candidate
without purpose, on platform without a
meaning. st. Louis responds with Il candi-
date whose name is the symbol OF reform,
upon platform which means q peaceful rev.
olution in the'conduct OF the Government.

'.y CLOSE UP THE RANKS. 49,.
There will be revulsion all along the
centre [of the country, for the party in its
wisdom has virtually abandoned these States.
We prefer Tildcn to Hays, and shall advise
the Democratic organizations to stand by
the nominees. The election OF Tilden
would signalizc the triumph OF certain
Democratic principles. We shall feel it our
duty to counsel harmony for the organiZa-
ton OF the Democratic party. 1t must be pre-
served. There is nothing for the Democratic
party to do but to close ranks and move
forward. Cincinnati Enquirer. ,
REPUBLICAN SATISFACTION.
Whoever may be dissatisfied with the
choice Of Tilden the Republicans have no
cause to find fault with it. The nomination
means that Democrats have abandoned in
advance all hope CT carrying the October
States, and place their reliance on the solid
South with the addition Of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut. and the Pacific States.
Ne,o York: Times (Repablican).
HOPE FOR THE BEST.
We shall follow the Democratic flag with
the Democratic platform and the Democratic
nomination. Others may follow the man,
THE organization, and the machine. 1t not
good sign in our eyes when Republicans
rejoice over and contribute to make Demo
cratic nomination. We shall hope for the
best and work for the best, not permitting
disappointment to move us one hairs
breadth in the discharge OF great public
duty.-Nel1 York Express. ai7.
