The Result at Cincinnati.

The Democrats must be commended for
the prompt way in which they despatched
business ut Cincinnati, and for wisdom in
their nominations. Their capacity for blum

to have failed them for once. 1t must be ad-
mitted that they have made a very strong
nomination for President perhaps the
strongest they could have made from the en-
tire list of asprants; and there is plenty of
work cut out for the Republicans from now
to the first Tuesday in November.
