New YoRK, June 22.-The Times to-day
saws: THE course of the Ohio Democrats
Yesterday was adroit, and if ingenious it
was quite as near so as that of their politi-
cal conventions in that State for the last
fifteen years. Judge Hoadly, who was
nominated for governor, is man OF ability
of good private reputation as politician,
acute, untiring and unscrupulous."
A Wise Act.
The World SAYS. at was both brave and
shrewd in nominating Judge Hoadiy. Ihe
Democratic convention OF Ghio did at once
the wisest and most liberal thlng IL mas
done in many yeals."
Offers Congratulations.
The Herald offers its respectful congratu.
lations to Ohio Democrats. They have made
a platform on which sensible citizens DE.
sirous of honest and free government can
stand and have nominated upon it man
who fairly and fully represents policy.
Hoadly is an able and honest man, and
Democrat in the true sense OF that word.
Good Candidate.
The Sun says: Judge Hoadly is good
candidate for Governor and will make q
good Governor of the State, for there need
be no doubt of his election by a handsome
majority. He is an able man, learned
politician, forcible speaker, judlcious
adherent of Democratic principles and may
be relied on for an honest administration
OF an important office
On the eAnti.Temperance Side.
The Tribune says: Judge Hoadly has
carried off the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Ohio. In thus selecting as
their leader the man who is best known as
the advocate and defender of unrestricted
whisky, the Democrats placed themselves
suuarely on the side OF the anti.temper-
ance interests. Notwithstanding their at
tempts they hedge later when it came to
the formal declarations Of their principles
The platform starts out with tremendous
straddle on the tariff question.
The Germans Pleased.
CINCINNATI, June 22.-The following edi-
torials appeared yesterday morning IN the
Cincinnati FolkSfreund (Drmocratic) and
the Cincinnati Volksblatt Republican:
The Volksfreund says: THE Democrat
ic convention has solved Its problem in the
most excellent manner, by placing Judge
Hoadly ss candidate for governor at the
head OF the ticket. His nomination will be
received with great enthusiasm and with
lust pride both by Democrats and by the
numerous independent voters throughout
the State, for Hoadly is, beyond question,
the most brilliant representative which
the Democracy Of Ohio to-day possess
es.'
'Judge Hoadly is held in the highest es-
TEEN, and is
Popular 10 a Rare Degree
not only in his own county but also in the
whole state. Everywhere men recognize
his splendid abilities, his noble, irreproach-
able character, and his outspoken liberal
ity. In the present peculiar situation in
Ohio, where the Republican party, by its
shameful alliance with pietiStiCal Digotry,
has alienated thei sympathies of all liberal
minded citizens, especially of the whole
German element, no man can gain their
unanimous support as Hoadly can. Judge
Hoadly has always been the most faithful
and jealous defender of the cause Of per-
sonal liberty; on the
Temperance and Sunday Questions
he takes the strict German position; and
by nominating him, more than by any
other thing. the Democratic party has
demonstrated that it is unalterably op-
posed to the efforts OF the temperance men
and fanatics, and is resolved to defeat
them. With Judge Hoadly at the head OF
the ticket, the Democratic party has
brighter prospects OF triumphant victory
IN October than IL has ever naQ. Inere is
not even shadow of doubt that in virtue
of his great popularity. his eminent gifts,
and his acknOW ledged liberality, Judge
Hoadly will command the united support
OF the Democracy as well as poll the great
Independent vote, and thus insure the
most brilliant success in the coming elec-
tion."

New York, June 22.-Hon. Henry Wat
terson telegraphs from this city to the
Courier Journal that the work OF Ohio
Democrats is received here by the Demo
Gratis with enthusiasm, and by the Repubi.
cans with alarm; that the nomination of
Judge Hoadly was not only the wisdom OF
the moment, but it will prove the logic OF
the future. Mr.. Watterson says: "lt may
ne that We have an easier thing in Ohio
than sppears and that we can elect any
body but don't believe it," Mr.. Watterson
then pays hearty tribute to Judge Hoadly
az TO the platform and predicts success in
ohio for the Democratic nominee. The
dispatch concludes: "By-the-way. what
was that heard the other day about the
old ticket"
