The eue- mies of the democratic party nave tolled for months to identity the name of Tilden alone with democratic reform, and foolish friends of Governor Tilden blindly belpet them in this work. 1t was possible that it might have been found necessary to select sone other candidate at St. Louis, and then we should have had up-hill work to show his name meant what our enemies have saved us the trouble of proving, that the name of Tilden means now the way is clear. ‘The republicans made Bristow meaa reform for them, and Tilden reform for the democ- Cincinnati trampled the name of Bristow underfoot.

The New York Herald says: It must be conceded by friends and enemies alike that Tilden has proved himself one of the ablest and most astute mabagers that ever ap- red in American politics. Having never id but one important office he lacks the Washington experience of Thurman, Hen- Bayard. Hisnomination, there- fore, is @ tribute to his charac’ city, and y or not. His nomination is not equivalent to an election. He will havea hard battle, still the country has reason to congratulate itself. The platform of both parties are so excellent that whether Hayes or Tilden be elected the country is equally sure of a good government. The Democratic Nominations. t CAPITOL OPINIONS OF ALL SORTS. The feeling among the democrats at the Capitol, outside of a few disaffected ones from Ohio and Indiana, is that the nomina- tions made at St. Louis are about the strongest which could have been put for- ward.
