pleased to know, made some impression
upon the ST. Louis Convention. Things
might have been worse. We prefer I'll :
den to Hayes, and shall advise the DEM
ocratic organization to stand by tue
nominees.
Cincinnati Gazette-Tilden is queer
reform candidate, but not more queer
than that the Democrats should resolve
In favor of reform. We have an idea
that he will fall to carry the State of New
York. That failure would settle him.
we see not how any one can expect that

States will speak in October, and will,
Cincinnati V Volksblatt--Tifden was born
in 1914, in New Lebanon, N. Y, and is
consequently sixty-two years old. His
strength as candidate consisted chiefly
In this, that he represented the same
tendencies i'll the Democratic party that
Bristow did in the Republican. His war
against the corrupt Tweed ring, which
he finally overcame, and the contest
which he lately conducted as Governor
OF New York against the canal ring and
its members, made him the representa-
tive in the Democratic party of the idea
of reform, which, iu consequence of the
deplorable exposures of the past few
years, has become very significant for
this campaign.
New York Sun--TIlden ia a retormer,
and because he is reformer, is selected
to lead the opposition in this Centennial
year. Such nomination can not fail to
excite in every part of the country most
hearty and hopeful enthusiasm. We
admit no doubt Of Its success.
New York Herald -TIlden never held
an important Office until elected Gov
ernor OF New York, less than three
years ago. has never been In Congress
and never held a position of trust under
the Federal Government. He lacks ex-
perience, and yet, by his extra
ordinary capacity for politics,
he has eclipsed all competi-
tors. Tilden's nomination is not,
however. equivalent to an election. Til
den is undoubtedly the strongest and
most popular nomination the Democratic
party could have made. His chances
lor carrying New York are doubtful. II
he wins in this State, he wins every
thing; II he loses this State, he loses
every thing.
New York World-Eulogizes both the
st. Louis nomination ana platform. 1t
says St. Louis responds to Cincinnati
with the nomination of a candidate
whose name is symbol of unfiinching
reform on platform which means a
peaceful revolution in the whole spirit
and conduct of the Government OF this
country. 1t urges unity among all con-
flcting elements of the party.
New York Tribune-The st. Louis Con-
vention has placed an admirable oandi
date on bad platform. 1t was wise TO
nominate for the Presidency its very
strongest man. His nomination Is q
triumph Of the principles whicA gave rise
to the independent movement of 1872.
Evansville Ind Courier-The Cour-
ier will not support Mir. Tilden for Pres
ident. If General Ewing, OF Ohio, and.
Hon. D. W. voorhees,, OF Indiana, prove
true to the men Of the West, we shall
have greenback candidate for Presi-
dent. Ii the greenback leaders have not
the courage to respond to the just de-
mands Of the suffering people OF the
West, we must bury the Democratic
party in the Potter's Field.
ST. Louis 9lobe-Democrat-The Demo-
Gratis could have taken no surer course
to insure the election of Hayes and
Wheeler than by nominating Tilden. 1t
predicts that Tilden will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
Ut. Louis Republican-The selection of
Tilden will insure victory for the DEM
