Shall Hayes he Endorsed or Not?
IN. Y. Tribunel

The Republican press of Ohio is in the
throes Of red-hot discussion concerning the
action OF the coming State Convention on the
policy of the administration. A portion Of
the editors favor commentator, and about
an equal portion declare that there must be
no mention of the administration whatever,
but ringing declaration Of old-fashioned
Republican principles. 1t looks as II the lat
ter class were in the majority. but 1t may not
be the case. The editors in favor OF approval
are inclined to be boisterous about it, declar-
ing that they will either have Endorsement"
or a row. 1t looks now as if they would have
