cast of mind, more thoughtful about
principles and truths of political doc
trine than about partisan success and
the applications of party patronage, he
became conspicuous on the state of pOlit-
ical affairs, not as an enemy of public
plumber in the abstract, or as the assail-
ant of thieves and robbers belonging to
the other party merely, but as having
laid his hand upon the thieves and rob-
bers of his W party, scourging them
from their seats of power, and bringing
them before the courts, where they have
been tried, found guilty and sentenced
to the p%enitentiary.
Such a 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. Our
people are not SO dull or SO careless as
not to know what is at stake in this
election. From this day forward, until
the end of the canvass, we look to see a
growing zeal and an increasing courage
and resolution on the part of those who
support Mr.. Tilden as the representative
and agent of reform. Independent
men everywhere, who wear the collar of
no party, and desire only the good of the
country, will rally around him with
earnest hearts.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Baltimore Gazette.
The st. Louis convention Yesterday
named the mar who will be the next
president of tho United States. There
we're two strong men before the Conven-
tion-Samuel J. Tilden and Winfield
Scott Hancock. Either OF them could
have carried the country next Novem-
her, but the banner has been placed in
the hands of Mr.. Tilden, and the rare
good fortune has come to him to lead
the great democratic party to victory in
perhaps the most important national
contest that has taken placed in our
history. The convention, so far as the
first name on the ticket goes, has done
its work, and done it we'll. From every
section Of the country, from Maincssto
Louisiana, and from New York to the
EXTREMIST point of the extreme west,
there will go up this morning the glad
shout from a sorely oppressed people, that
a man has been placed in nomination for
the chief executive whose name is the
terror of evil doors; who is the foremost
champion of reform in all the land.
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.
Louisville Cotrier-Journsl.
The st. Louis convention yesterday
completed its good work by nominating
Gov. Hendricks for vice-president. The
banner of Tilden and Hendricks is nailed
to the democratic masthead, and under
it the democracy and all other
friends of good government, whose
love of country has not been
chilled by party prejudice, will
rally for the good fight for reform. As
~gubernatorial candidates, each of the
nominees carried his state against great
odds. Neither of the nominees is agreat
or small unknown. Each has made a
capital governor. and has a record of
public services that gives every assur-
ance of efficiency and d desire to improve
the character of the public service. One
Is from the east, the other is from the
west, and the north and the south can
cordially unite on both. There is no
spot or blemish on the personal reputa-
ton of either, and together they present
the embodiment Of that effort OF the
country toward administrative reform
which showed itself in the Cincinnati
convention only to be ignominiously
elected, but which from the first step to
the last, was the controlling influence of
the convention at st. Louis.
