The Press on the Republican Ticket.
We copy below extracts from the comments of
the leading daily papers of the country, of all
shades of politics, on the Republican nominations
The New York Herald (Dem. says:
Gas it now stands the ticket is a fair one. Gov.
Hayes is . good man. II elected he will bring
these qualities into the White House. Mr.. Wheel
er, the candidate for the Vice Presidency, stands
we'll in this State. Hayes and Wheeler will poll
the party vote. They will call out the solid,
hard-wOrking party men. AS ticket Hayes and
Wheeler represent the average common-sense,
sober-minded classes"
The New York Times (Rep.) says:
"With two such nominees the republican par
ty can listen to no such word as fail. The strife
at Cincinnati has left sore which a little time
will not heal; the defeated candidates cherish no
grudges which can impair either the unity or the
efficiency of the campaign. The candidate who
came so near the nomination has given another
example of the manliness and warmth of heart
which have won for him many friends, by frank
ly pledging himself to throw all the influence
which remains to him on the side of his success
full rival"
The New York Tribune (Rep.) says;
"Ths action OF the Cincinnati convention was
something Of a surprise, but it will command the
approval Of large majority of republicans, and
| the ticket will have the cordial support of tbs
whole party. Gov. Hayes is man of whom il
| is impossible to say word of evil. Personally
he is not only above reproach, but above suspi
cion There are no dark corners in his history
which need investigation or have ever set tht
tongue Of scandal wagging. Mr.. Wheeler, like
Gov Hayes, is a sound republican from convic
ton and not from the love OF Office. The combi
nation, indeed, is one of the most formidable tina
have been suggested on either side"
The New York World Dem says:
| "Governor Hayes, personally, is man OF re
spectacle abilities, Of excellent private character
| and in steady going undemonstrative way ha
| been consistent, if not an influential member o
the republican party for many years"
The New York Journal Of Commerce says:
"Gov. Hayes is an admirable example OF tn
available candidate-one of whom the public
knows no harm, and of whom devoted litt
band of supporters assure US they know mucl
good"
The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) says:
"Gev. Hayes lacks Mr.. Blane's positiveness.-
Expediency has come again with mediocrity a
its handmade. He will not be pillar Of fire b.
night or a cloud by day to lead US, but we believ
he will be a trustworthy guide. He was gallan
soldier, an excellent Congressman, and has mad
| a good Governor. His administration will be
respectable if not brilliant one and in its quie
| tude and negative qualities recall the days o
Polk, Fillmore and Pierce"
The Cincinnati Commercial (Rep. says:
"Hayes is not the ideal candidate, but he is
for party purposes, good candidate. He ha
not the aggressive energy of thoroughgoin!
reformer, but he has the instincts of an homes
man. He will probably not pursue thieve
through the land like an avengng fury, but b
will not gather them about him and shelter then
as hen her breed under her wings"
The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer (Dem.) think
it cannet be denied that the nomination for tn
presidency is good one-the strongest perhaps
except that of Bristow's, that was within tn
reach of the convention.
The Washington Star thinks that whateve
| individual preferences may be entertained, Their
can hardly be doubt that, all things considered
the nomination of Governor Hayes for Presiden
is the strongest that the republican party coult
make at the present time.
The San Francisco Chronicle remarks "that tn
ticket is a strong one. The republicans can nov
enter upon the canvass carrying ne weight ant
free to wage an aggressive warfare"
The San Francisco Alta says: "Of all tn
candidates before the convention, next to Baiue
Governor Hayes is the more popular. The gen
eral sentiment seems to be that Hayes is the sec
ond choice of almost every one, and that th
nomination will secure the united support of tn
party. Wheeler's nomination gives general salts
faction"
The Boston Advertiser (Rep) says: Th
nominations will be accepted by the republican
party without reserve and with lively feelings o
satisfaction, and the whole party can work to
gether hsrmoniously to accomplish success"
