Newspaper Expressions.
NEW YoaK, October 6th.-The Ereniag
Commercial (Conkling orgau) is intensely bit
ter OF the result OF yesterdays Convention,
which it denouncss as q fraud. 1t strongly
intimates that CoakliEg's support cannot be
had for tie ticket for how can he, it asks,
with self respect offer bis services to the men
who by fraud. traachery. deception and thu
use of dsspicable arts, have secured control
of the party and call themselves Republican
leaders?
The Tribune says: For the first time il
many years the Republican opinion of New
York has found expression in the State Con-
vention. One hundred and eight was the
majority before which the Conklilg machine
went to the wall yesterday. Ii the voice Of
the Republicans OF the cities had not been
stiAsd by district association, and had found
as free expression as did that of their brethren
in the rural districts, the Convention would
have been almost unanimous. TIE ticket |
nominated is made up of good material
and is representative CT both wings CT the
party.
The Times says: The Convention yester-
day may be justly called reform Conven-
ton. It leaves the party in a healthy and
vigorous condition. There is no doubt that
the action OF the Convention in breaking
with the custom which has given to the State
Committee heretofore SO large an influence
over the formal action of the party, will be
generally approved. The candid ard kindly
tone which psrvades the Convention with
reference to the South, is an indication that
it viii require even more than the usual
Democratic faulty to make q purely sectional
issue agsin very prominent.
The Herald says: The Republican Con-
vention turned cut to be as the Herald pre-
dicted, very moderate, conservative, tame
affair. Inc opponents OF Cobkllng earned
the ,rgauizAtion; bat seem TO have used their
power with dignity and reserve. Whether
the harmony viii last is another question
but the arms5hetic Influence Of Arthur as
President will not be lost upon the Repubi-
can Convention. even in angry, jaugliug,
wrangling New York. Of the candidates it is
too soon to speak.
The Sun says: From first to last along the
whole line, ths stalwarts were routed, and it
was evident as the evening session how they
felt. They were sullen. They were in
state of mind that is dangerous to tee fac
tion-ridden party, and that is not likely to be
less dangerous at the time of the election
The World says: TIE victory of the half
breeds in the Convention simply binds the
stalwarts to bsat the Republican ticket in the
election The nominations make up neat
aud complete "step.ladder aud transon
ticket 1t is toiexaby clear that the dele.
