WASHINGTON, Aug. A.
The doings of the Republican State
Convention, held at Cleveland on
Wednesday, have been the subject Of
much comment here during the last two
days. 1t was generally expected that
there would be at least moderate ex-
ploson In the Convention when the
question OF lndorsing the Presidents
policy should come upj and there was a
sense OF disappointment amongst DEM
ocrats and Of congratulation amongst
Republicans when it was ascertained
that 10 outbreak had occurred, and that
the paclfcatiOn policy OF Mr.. Hayes had
received at last a very respectable In
dorsement, and that the whole Southern
question was hereafter to be considered
as res ddjudicdta.
Oi course there were skilltul party
managers on hand, like Matthews, FOs-
ter, Garfield and Cox, who brought the
little thing safely through, though how
near the old ship came being blown sky
high, will not leak out to any extent.
1t is said that Mr.. Hayes was so
deeply interes ed in the result that he
dld not leave the White House for sum-
mer quarters at the Soldiers Home, on
Wednesday, the day Of the Convention,
until nearly dark, when he received by
special kilograms The names OF the noml-
nees and the tex. OF the platform.
Judge West aud Mr.. Hayes have been
life long friends, and as West is firm
friend OF the paciticative measures of
the President, the latter Is nightly
pleased with his nomination for Gov
ernor. 1t is said, indeed, that Mr..
Hayes had expressed hope that either
West or - sh0u d get IL. The other
mau's name was not brought before the
Convention at all.
AS for the platform, it is conceded to
be a good one as the situation now is.
On the financial questions it does not
quite suit John Snermah nor the
monled men of the East, but yet it diff
lers enough from the Democratic plat
form to please Republicans. The labor

MattheWs, and seems to be broad. com

menL OF Mr.. Hayeo' paoiflcation policy
was very CRATE u to the President, and
If he is satisfied why should anybody
else be discontinued amongst his
triendsP
Ohio will be congratulated on one
thing, and that is, no matter how the
election results. she will have a good
Governor for tue ensuing two years.
Bishop and West are both high-toned,
honorable gentlemen, either OF whom
" Would scoru TO do mean act. Bishop
is he wealthlest; West by far the most
talented. The former is no speaker; the
latter one of The most eloquent stumpers
we have anywhere In ONO or the N orth.
Bishop will poll more temperance votes
than West umo g independent voters.
West we believe is temperate man
and leans towards temperance, but is
not a radical. MI Bishop will fill the
guDernatornial chair with dignity if he
is elected; II he is defeated the "Blind
Orator OF o lio' will make a worthy sue
cessor to Nj. Hayes.
The campaign, they say here, will be
one OF the liVe.lest kind. When Mat
thews, TAFT. Cox, Garfield and West
meet in debate and before the people,
such men as Ewing, Pendletun, Con-
verse and Thurman, then we can shout:
Now, by St. Paul! the work goes
bravery ou."
For the first time since the days Of
Jackson will the Auministrat on and all
its Ulcers stand alooI and lei the people

service Reform. CINCINNATI.
