0rR CANDIDATES.
Yesterday the Republican party placed
before the country the names Of the men
whom thsy intend to slsct - President
and Vice President Of the United States
OF America. Thoss names were. for .
moment, . disappointment 70 the great
body Of Republican votsrs In this local.
ity. We had come 70 look upon Blaine
- our NEXT President. and with good
reason. The mans character command
Cd respect. and the mans personal mag
nstism would have ensured his success
before The people. The convention.
however. In tn wisdom. has sssn ht 10
disregard his claims - . Presidential
candidaas. That convention was n
trusted by the Republicans Of this na-
tion With the power 10 name u next
ruler. and BY il decision We are bound
to stand or fall. Il has named Ruther-
ford b. Hayes Of Ohio for President.
and william A. Wheeler Of New York
for Vice President.
Al Blaine could noa Be- nominated.
and that fact became very apparent after
the second ballot. Ne know Of no man
better qualified 10 Lead the Republican
hosts 70 victory than Rutherford B.
Hayes. He Ia . man against whose rec
ord In the past even his political n .
mics have never dared 10 utter . whis-
per. He has twice been elected TO the
Govsrnouhip Of Ohio. once a. the OPP
ponens OF the political and scholarly
Psndleton. and again in the face Of VIII
liam b. Allen. VINO 10 probably the most
influential man In the State. His vic
toriss show how highly he ID held in
public Estimation In his " Suts.
And Ohio IL really the pivotal point
upon which the Presidential election
turns. She holds . local election In
October. upon which the entire political
world looks with concern. The result
Of that election generally forstslls the
result Of the great national contest.
Ohio has stood nobly BY Governor
Hayes In the past. II ID not at al
probable that abe will desert him nov
We confidently expect that next
Octobsr abe will roll up . Republican
majority which will utterly route the
Democratic army which 10 arraying itself
against Us.
Our candidate Ii = man in whom the
entire nation has confidence. He has
never been q politician In the sense In
which that word IL now commonly used.
There IL nothing tricky In his char
acter. The honon hsapsd upon him by
his State have come unsought. A. the
nomination. for the Presidency came
yesterday. He has gone about his busi-
ness quietly. and when his fsllow-cit-
izsns called upon him. in the name OF
his country. 10 accept once. he has ae-
copied IL like . true patriot. There In
nothing In his record which he need
blush u tsli-pothinc that his political
foes can bring against him in the can
vasI. The fight nov must Be- one Of
principles. The only question before
the people to-day is, vhsthsr they will
prolons Republican rule for the nett
four ysars. or turn the Government over
10 the tender msrciss Of the men Who
sixteen yesrs ago sought to ovsrturn H.
We have great faith in the intelligence
and good sense OF our citizens. and We
believe that they will answer this ques-
ton In such . manner o. TO challenge
the admiration Of tho entire civilized
world.
The victories Of our candidate are not
confined 70 exploits in times Of peace.
He 10 also . hero in war. He ~ q
OF the foremost 10 respond 70 the call Of
his country whom shs demanded the
blood Of her heroes. and his record a.
. soldier Ia one OF which any man
might be proud. A he plods around his
farm he locks with honest pride upon
his wooden leg. knowing a. he does that

IL substituted. Vas left on the battle
held a. . sacrifice TO the good Of the ma
ton which be 90 dearly loves. His his
tory during the var ID q which will
recommend him 70 his coantrymsn
throughout the nation. while his record
in times Of peace 10 Of . nature to CON-
mend him 10 all voters.
General Hayes. too. IL q man upon
whom the so-callsd "dissatisisd Rspub-
lieans" can unite. He isa "rsformsr"
to the backbone. Carl Sehurz and his
handful OF followers will be forced now
sither to sustain Hayes or to proclaim
10 the world that they m actually
ssesders from the Republican party.
They said in their address to the people
from the Fifth Avenue Hotsl. that they
demanded reform and wanted Bristov.
They have got Hayes now man in
every sense ~ honest - Bristov. They
can make no objection 10 his nomination
without eonfsssing that they are not
Republicans. but in sympathy with the
opposition. We believe that they viii
fall into line and cast their influence and
their votes for General Hayes.
Our candidate 10 . good one. and We
bsspeak for him the hearty Endorsement
Of the great Republican party Of the
nation. That he will Be triumphantly
elected in November ne1t VI certainly
believe. Let Us give him n majority
large enough TO show the world that the
American people still stand firm by the
principles Of the Republican party. upon
which lie prosperity b founded.
