name of Governor Hayes failed at first
to awaken even the slightest enthusi-
asm; and while our peoI le last night re-

they were thoroughly convinced that
they had been deprived of their favor
ite by the lowest arts of contriving poll
ticians. y General Hayes
lacks Mr.. Blaine's positiveness. He will
not be pillar of fire by night or a cloud
by day to lead us, but we believe he will
be trustworthy guide.
WON'T TEAR THEIR SHIRTS.
From the Philadelphia Enquirer, Rep
Governor Hayes merits as a candidate
will be likely to be considered negative
rather than positive that is to say, he
is not one to create a great political en-
thusiastic uprising Of the people, as
Blaine is. There is no magnetism in
the name with which to conjure voters
Respectable Republicans, honoring an
honorable name and respecting blame
less political record, will vote with salts.
faction for Governor Hayes, butthey will
not forget their dignity in any wild
bursts Of enthusiasm when the name OF
their candidate is mentioned
A SECOND RATE POLITICIAN.
From the Schenectady Star,l
The close defeat of Governor Allen in
Ohio last October has furnished the Re-
publican party with Presidential can
didate. In regard to real ability; Blaine,
his principal competitor, is by head and
shoulders his superior The RepubIl-
can party, however, did not dare at this
time to 60 before the people with Blaine
and his untried record. Consequently a
qecond.rate politician of no positive indi-
viduality is taken up, and will undoubt-
edly from his very passive character
unite the party nominating him, and
permit it to go into the canvass prepared
to wage desperate struggle for a reten-
ton of power and the spoiIs.
A TICKET DOOMED TO CERTAIN DEFEAT
From the Syracuse Courier)
It is easy to account for the nomination
of Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is an Admin
istration ticket, 1t means simply the
continuation of Grantism in its truest
form. When Conkling and Morton found
that neither stood ghost of a chance
for the nomination, the party whip was
cracked. and, under the direction of My
Lord Roscoe, the opposition was united
on Hayes. New York was sold out to
the Ohio candidate, and Pennsylvania
and Indiana, deserting their taVorite
sons, followed the lead. Anything to
beat Blaine was the cry, and Hayes was
nominated The results of the Conven-
ton will open the eyes of the American
people. They will see clearly now what
they would not see before, that the cor
rnpt politicians of the Republican party
propose to run that party for another
four years. There was plenty of good
timber from which to chose a candidate.
Bristow would have united the party,
and would have been candidate
who would have disarmed criticism
But Bristow could not be used by the
politicians, and hence stood no chance
of securing the nomination The nomi
nation of Bristow would have been a
declaration to the country that the Re-
publican party proposed to reform itself
The nomination of Hayes shows that
the rogues and knaves of the party sul
retain control and propose to run the
country.for another four years The ticket
is ticket that will arouse no enthusiasm
among the masses of the party. 1t is :
ticket that is doomed to certain defea
in November.
