The Press on the Nominations
From the New York Times.

The foremost Of the candidates is man of
PLAIN, unobtrusive manners, lunimpeachable hon
esty, keen intelligence, and robust common sense.
The second place on the ticket has been given to
one whose ability as legislator and whose iniu-
ence as cear-headed, tar-seeing statesman are
worthy OF the noblest era Of our history and the
highest standards of our public life.
Gov. Hayes was a brave and capable soldier,
and has been resolute, faithful, and panstakirg
as civil administrator. Ten years ago his name
was a tower of strength for the Republicans of
Ohio, and successive ordeals Of political struggle
| and administrative responsibility have only in
creased his hold on the confidence of the peopl
of his native State. The man who led the desper-
ate charge across the treacherous morass at Win
| chester lived to overcome in the political arena
, the leaders of Ohio, Allen g. Thurman, George
ii. Pendeton, and Gov Allen. He lived also to
become the embodiment of all the principles OPP
posed to the official sophistres the ill-cor recalled
dishonesty, and the arrant demagogism of VIII ich
these leaders were the exponents and representa-
tives. His election a triumph of able and
cautious leadership, and Of the bold aud steadias,
championship of public faith and conscience
against the mischievous intriguers who paltered
in double sense with these essentials of the sta
bilty of the State. In that most delicate and diff
fcult OHIO campaign Of 1875, Gov. Hayes was
prudent without being pusillanimous, wary with
out tiickery, and bold without temcrity He bated
not jot OF the integrity of his partys record OF
the treatment OF the finances and he went far be
You'd the hating utterances, OF resumption But
he never insulted the waverng mass Of doubtful
voters by reckless imputations of motives, and he

Fatal UTEL ~ BRTSSEL,S.

The more unsatisfactory side of the Gus
tom OF dueling has been displayed in the
result of a recent combat at Brussels. The oppo-
nents were.Capt. Van Heck and Marchal, and the
donna" in the case was not for to seek. She
was the wife of the captain, very young lady OF
great beauty, and it was his opinion OF her con.
duct which drove the martial and unfortunate of
fcer to demand and receive satisfaction. The
Capts. Ceusvort and Boxo. on the part of Mr.. Van
Heck, consulted Leuts, Zerezo De Wetter, the
friends of NJ. Marchal, and decided that their
principals "must see each other" The riding
school of the Ecole of Guerre was fixed on as a
nice solitary place, as no doubt it is at half past
four on May morning, and there the duelists APP
peared, and by the choice Of M. Van Heck,
fought with pistols. They were put up at 81 pac-
es and the first fire produced no results. NJ. Mar
chal solemnly declared his innocence, took Van
Heecks shot, and discharged his pistols in the
air. Both men missed at the second aud third
fires, and then the O'Clock bell rang to waken
the boys in the school. There was no more time
to waste, and the distance was shortened by
10 yards. On the first fire, at Is yards, NJ. Van
Heck was mortally wounded in the breast.

elected Governor in the face Of a democratic
majority at the previous election of 1900, and
after the State had polled $4,000 more votes than
at any previous time in his history, will secure a
republican victory in Ohio In October, 1916, whose
proportions will family indicate the sweeping
character of the triumph which awaits him in No
yember.
fFrom the New York Tribune.
The action of the Cincinnati Convention was
something Of surprise, but it will command the
approval of large majority of republicans, and
the ticket will have the cordial support OF the
whole party. Gov. Hayes is man OF whom II
is impossible to say word of evil. Personally
he is not only above reproach, but above suspcion.
There are dark con ners IN his history which
need investigation or have ever set the tongue OF
scandal wagging. He has been distinguished
soldier, an incorruptIble Congressman, an aole
and popular Governor.
From the Lewiston journal.
1t would be useless to disguise the fact that
"llayes and Wheeler" is not the ticket which
would most readily ignite powder in the State OF
Maine. 1t is impossible to conceal the dlsappont-
meut at the final result, of republicans who at i've
O'Clock on Friday, as they read the sixth ballot,
felt almost certain that the ticket would be Blane
and Hayes" But the result is probably the best
that could have been reached other than the issue
most coveted by Mr.. Blaine's friends. 1t has uni
ted the most friends of all candidates in assuran
ces of earnest work for the victory in November.
and his declaration of readiness to open the cam
paign in Maine with the same vigor that he would
have pressed it, had "the other man" been the
nominee, shows the generous spirit which Will
unite the republican party in the coming contest
and lead it to victory. Let the republicans of Maine
rally around Hayes and Wheeler, assure that the
statesmanlike administration which they seek, Will
characterize the administration of President
Hayes. There are great principles embodied in
the platform which the country demands shall be
enforced in the administration of public affairs.
The country suffers from stagnaton OF business,
from corrupt rings and corrupt partizans. The
election of Hayes and Wheeler is an assurance to
business that it shall return to its legitimate chan
nes, TO corrupt rings that their career must end
and to corrupt partzans that the civil service does
not require them.
From the New York Herald
Mr.. Blaine made what we might call Henry
Clay canvass. We cannot but admire the gallant
ry of his friends. Never leader so bravely
supported. There was something like chivalry in
the way his friends nailed his colors to the mast
and went down with them floating in the breeze.

One startling announcement from Constantine
pie follows another in rapid succession. We have
now tdngs of a Wholesale assassination, openly
perpetrated by an officer recently dismissed from
the Turkish army, to which two ministers OF state
Hassan Avni Pacha and Rsschid Pacha, besides
an aide -de-camp Of the Grand Vizier and serv-
ant of Midhat Pacha, fell victims, another minis
ter being at the same time seriously wounded.
The criminal was at once arrested, and will OF
course pay the penalty of his terrible crime but
this he must have expected having prepared
himself, no doubt, for whatever might befal with
the indifference of fatalism which attaches to the
Mohammedan religion. 1t would seem that rea-
sons of purely personal disappointment must have
led to his bold proceeding, as there is no known
cause of public dissatisfaction at Constantinople
with the ministers against whom it is aimed, on
the part of any of the Turkish population there.
The event must add to the excitement prevailing
at the capital and will probably lead to measures
of precaution on the part Of ministers for their
peronal safety. Such measures, in their turn,
may have tendency still further to aggravate
the situation But the disposition to assert to the
full extent the Ottoman authority in all parts Of
the empre-for which the deposition of the Sui
tan afforded at once the proof, and the most avail
able present means was already so strong that
nothing was necessary to intensity it. terri
BILE incident of this character will serve to test the
character of the new Sultan and of his advisers.
1t is to be hoped that they will find in it no pre-
text for increased harshness in the treatment Of
the Christian population of the provinces

No attempt is made to disguise the fact
of the profound sorrow felt among the re-
publicans of the country over Mr.. Blaine
defeat. But they console themselves with
the reflection that the selection of Gen.
Hayes is the next best thing that could be
done. A gentleman writing us from New
buryport, Mass, says, in the course of his
letter: II was present when the dis
patches of the balloting at Cincinnati were
received, and watched the thermometer
as it rose and fell in the countenances and
expression of the people, as the despatch
es were read. When the final result was
received. feeling of sadness and melan.
choly settled down upon the crowd, 1t
fell like an iceberg upon them, and they
skunk away IN silence and chagrn. But
there was feeling of joy, in the midst of
sadness, that no one of the candidates who
had peIsistently fought Mr.. Blaine. had
triumphed." Gov Hayes was evidently the
people second choice.

The special from Columbus, Ohio, to the Boston

friends Of Blaine in the Pennsylvania delegation
been permitted to vote on the second ballot, he
might have been nominated on the third bollot.
The row created among the Pennsylvanans not
only enabled Don Cameron to hold nearly all of

adroitness with which Baine's opponents in diff
