to be desired. 1t is The manly, frank, and
explicit declaration of sincere and able
man. II there are any who have had
doubts as to General Hays possession of
the pronounced characteristics required in
the leader of the republican party at this
juncture, this letter ought to 70 far TO
cause them to dismiss such doubts. II is
not the letter of q partisan, n trimmer, an
asprant for office who wishes to avoid
criticism by evadng an expression of his
views and purposes, or, IN any sense, the
letter of negative man.-New ork
Times.
Governor Hayes has spoken, and his
voice has no uncertain sound 1t utters
clear, manly, unequivocal declaration of
principles, which embody the strongest de-
sres of all honest and thinking American
citizens. The country has been waiting to
hear from him something more distinct and
assuring than the vague promises of the
Cincinnati platform, and it will not be
disappointed. = The great and pressing
demands OF the country are recognized in
language which cannot be mistaken. 1t is
the voice of an honest man, true patriot,
a sincere reformer, and speaking just what
he means Since nominated he has re-
Ceived many accessions of support which
might have been alienated, but Governor
Hayes henceforth is his own best advocate.
-NeD York Tribune.
I'll fair, discreet document, and shows
that the governor is well advised In this
letter the governor takes positive ground
on civil service-meaning permanence in
office and non-interference of congressman
in patronage, which is the only way in
which there can be civil service He speaks
emphaticaly in favor of an early resump-
ton of specie payments, and, while con-
ciliatory toward the south, intmates that
| the shotgun will not be allowed to take
the place of the rife. There is distinct,
manly, ringing recognition of one term for
the presidency, which shows statesman
ship, and is in all respects a noble utter
apce, and bid for religious support on the
school question, which is demagoguery and
unworthy of a candidate for the presidency.
The ne-term idea is the strong point and
the school idea the weak point in wha,
otherwise is a fair, commepdable, states
manlike letter. --helo York Uerdld
Gov Hayes's letter accepting the repub.
lican nomination is great reform victory,
It will go far to reconcile reformers and in
dependents to his nomination, and also tc
insure his election. He adds new anC
probably the best plank to the platform or
which he is running, by pledgiDg himsel
not to be a candidate for reelection; ant
he emphasizes and Celebrates with incisivt
detail those in favor Of civil service reform
the return TO specie currency, the secular
ization of the school system, honest ad
minstration, the equal rights of white ant
black citizens, sectional reconciliation anC
race peace. His discussion Of the spoil
system, and the surrender under it of thu
executive offices to the members of con
gress, shows that he understands, like Mr.
Brs.ow, the roots of the civil service evil
and the pledges of his power and influence
to reform 1t altogether are specific and com
plete. The entire letter is admirable il
conception and satisfactory in expression
1t shows that he comprehends not only Thu
political but the party situation fully, an(
is ready to do everything in his power It
meet them both. Springfield RepnJAcan,
