Jury, he must nave 1elJ tnat he was IN
strange company yesterday, and that he is in
a strange position now in bearing the stand
ard OF party in opposing which he spent
the best portion of his life.
1t will not be said that the Democratic
party has come to Hoadly, while it does not
need to be said that he has gone to the
Democratic party. He has been baptized
into its ranks, and at the same time elevated
TO the position of standard bearer There
are those, no doubt, who will be moved to
say that but for the high office in sight, the
l,apusmal font would not have been brought
NJ" -equisition. This is a question, how
5ssr, that Democrats must settle among
q. riselves The Republican party has its
own business to attend to. and that is to
elect Foraker, who was true soldier and is
true Republican; and with Hoadly as his
opponent it will have a less difficult task
shan il Ward, the war Democrat, who defend
cd the flag in the field, had been at the head
of the opposition ticket.
A ROSY VIEW OF THE NOMINATION..
Cincinnati News journal (Dem.)
Judge Hoadly is known as a man of the
! purest morals, a clean and wholesome
! life, an integrity which has never been ques-
tioned-a character of that best kind which
/ Aas not required that anybody should defend
| X. He is broad and liberal in his views, and
every way fit type of progressive and ag-
sressive Democracy, which draws wisdom
|
TO policies and issues looks only forward.
fes nomination will rally the young Demo-
| erais, unite upon him the liberal and pro-
! gressive elements of all parties, and draw for
ward with these the old Democrats to assist
| IA establishing Democracy upon a sure foot
Ing: His nomination is Democracy's fare
well to bourbonism, a rebuke to all fossilism
of the past, an assurance that conspicuous
ability, sound judgment, capacity for public
affairs manly frankness, and devotion to
| pure Democratic ideas of government are to
| rule in Ohio, and to secure for the party
that place in the national councils which
| has been so long denied it in the manage
| ment of its State canvasses.
| Mr.. TILDEN's HAND TO BE TRACED.
Louisville Commercial.
There are suggestions that the fine Italian
/ nand of Mr.. Tilden can be traced in the do
| ings of the convention. If the story is not
| true, 1t is we'll feigned, as the other Italians
say. Judge Hoadly was a friend of Mr.. Til
Sens in 1876, and antagonized him to Thur
t,an bs in 1880 Thurman is the only man in
ohio that Tilden has to fear, because, what
| ever careless scribes may say Hoadly is not
presidential quantity. Putting all these
| things together, the result adds unquestion-
foly something to the accumulating evidence
| That Mr.. Tilden is in the field for 1884. And
there is evidence that Mr. Hendricks is will
Ing. 1t looks more and more like the "old
ticket was to be tried again.
| AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
| Chicago Inter Ocean.
| No renegade from the Republican party
| ever made so successful bid for Democratic
| votes in Ohio, and no friend of Chase or sup
porter of his free-soil departure from the
Democratic camp of long ago can ever hope
| to form a close alliance with State-right
| Democrats like Thurman and Steedman and
| Hurd. AS an experiment, the nomination
| may be regarded as interesting. AS Dem
| bcratic move on the political chess-board,
| however, it is of no higher order and is no
ore promising than was the nomination of
| Greeiey for President or of Ewing for Gov
ernor. Greeley was beaten in Ohio by 81, 900
votes and Ewing by 1900.
| THE GENERAL JUDGMENT.
| Washington Special.
General Tom Ewing, who was a candidate
| for Governor against Charles Foster four
years ago, said the nomination of Judge
Hoadly is a good one and will win But"
said he lin my judgment the nomination of
Durbin Ward would have been a much
stronger one.
| SHOULD BE USED TO IT BY THIS TINE.
| Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
1t will sit rough on the old-lne Democrats
OF Ohio to be bound hand and foot and sold
to the Philistines, but they ought by this
time to have gotten used to it.
| GIVES LIFE TO THE OLD TICKET.
Terre Haute Express.
The nomination of Hoadly, the political
pupil of Tilden, gives renewed life to the
''old ticket" for 1884.
