GERS great ability, his high character, his
good ntentiods, nor even the res-
sonable assurance that be would make an
excellent Governor in spite Of the inhuen-
ces that have been enlisted in behalf OF his
candidacy. can suffice TO meet one oil the
chief objections of those who are dlsSatlShed:
That is fixed beyond recall in the record oil
the past, which II is not in his power to
wine out. The Republicans OF this State
were not permitted by an untrsmelled
chOise, by a free exercise OF delegated
power, honestly and fairly executed, to
nominate their own candidate for Governor,
and many of them feel tnat they have
prineipsl to yindicste that is even more inn
portant for the time being than the excel
lent ideaS of State and National policy
which are urged in the letter OF acceptance
Evening Post.
Judge Folger's letter of acceptance is
not a cheerful or inspiring document. Ii
could not we'll be under the existing clrcum'
stances A man who feels himself obliged
20 make an elaborate apology to the people
for being q candidate, and who virtually
asks them for suspension OF judgment as
to the conscientiousneSS OF his conduct
in accepting the nomination can
not be expected to be quite free
from q certain depression OF spirits when
speaking TO the public. 1t Is the men, tue
circumstances, and the influences sur
rounding him, that make his election un-
acceptable to o large element of the Repub-
lican party, and that confession OF his per-
sonal feeling with regard to his candidacy
is therefore, rather calculated to
strengthen than to weaken their objections
to him" . f- ...

There is nothing that can be said here

and devotion to Republican principles,
speak for themselves. The duty OF Repuo-
| lfcans is plain. 1t is to elect their ticket,
and elect it for the reasons that have been
so forcibly stated in the letter OF accept,
ance. There can be no turning back or
aside. The field is before the Republicans
and they viii be untrue to themselves aud

"Mr. Folger's acceptaney Of the so-called
Republican nomination is one of the most
extraordinary documents in our political
literature. Never before has il, to the
Eagles knowledge, been deemed necessary
by candidate for great Office to present
himself as an opalogist for acknowledged
fraud in the convention that submitted hH
name to the people, and beg the
voters to believe that, while forced
representative of such body, he had no
hand in debauchipg its character. This
turn OF affairs imposes upon the Democrats
exceptional responsibility. 1t is their
highest duty now 10 80 behave in their
