hb ‘ward, honest, upright man never lived, and if elected the would make an excelient President, The President, who had returned from a long, pleas- ent drive, retired early to his library with his som, Mr. Ulysses & Grant, Jr., who is also his Secretary. The President being disposed to rest quietly after his fatigue, bis son descended to the red room, and, in re- Bponse to inquiries as to the principal expressions of the President relating to the nomination of Hayos, was quite communicative concerning bis father’s feel- Ings, When the President was discussing the subject of the nomination he sai “Lam very mueb pleased with the action of the Cor- ‘vention and I feel bighly gratified. The great re- @pectability of both candidates will give dignity and weal to the campaign.” “Besides this,” said Mr. Ulysses, Jr., “the President {We 80 sanguine of the success of the ticket that he telegraphed Governor Hayes immediately in cordial and enthusiastic terms, presenting his congratulations ‘and assurances that he would be elected his muceessor. Mr. Hayes had a fino record as an officer during the war, having been major general in the vol- ‘unteers.”” The President has not felt so well for a long time, and the result of the Convention brings bim un- doubted pleasure and satisfaction, it we are to believe the many persons about him to whom he has expressed Dimself so freely. They say that he watched the whole proceedinge@uring the day with great interest, and ex- perienced a sense of belief at the termination by the pomination of Hayes, * THR DEFEATED RIVALS. ‘The four defeated candidates, who live here in Wash- fmgton, almost within a few hundred yards of each Bther, have spoken words that are ‘‘like apples of gold tm pictures of silver” in the four eloquent congrata- latory addresses they have sent to their more forta- Bate rival, and which are given further on. INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR MORTON, An interview was had this evening with Senator Mor- ‘ton, whose name was so conspicuous for so many years ‘as a Presidential candidate. Ho was found sitting in bis reception room, calmly and complacenty, and in company with bis talented young son, Oliver P, Mor- ton, Jr., who is a great help and solace to him. Both were ebatting pleasantly and even merrily together, ‘with little thought or reflex, apparently, of the recent exciting political events with which the Senator’s name and fortunes have been connocted. The great debater was Feclining comfortably and at rest in his easy chair, having just returned from an evening ride, As the representative of the Hxratp entered he broke out ‘with @ good natured strong laugh, saying, ‘Come ana sit down.” Agrecably surprised at his cheerfulness the reporter complied, and a running, easy conversation ‘was commenced. After saying’ that he felt somewhat Bred, the current topic of the hour as to the nomina- on. at Cincinnati was discussed. Corrusroxpent—What do you think of the nomina- tion of Mr. Hayes? Senator Morrox—Why, it is very good, indeed, It {is pertectly satisfactory to me, and I intend to support it heartily, fully and zealously. Corxgsronpent—You seem, indeed, Governor to take it with very good grace, considering the tenacity of your friends and the unproductiveness of their fidelity. Senator Moxtrors—Now, I want it distinctly under- Btood that 1 am not at all what is vulgarly called “soreheaded” in any way, because I was not nom- Inated. I am perfectly reconciled to the selection of Governor Hayes, and I shall go into the campaign St the proper time. and work bard for it, He will make a very good President and, with- out doubt, be triumphantly elected. I can Bay, disinterestedly, that I am very much pleased with it and shall do everything in my power to Attest that feeling sincerely. Corresronpext—What do you think of tho success of She ticket? Senator Morton—I regard that as assured and be- yond question. It will undoubtedly be elected. I am going to commence my work by opening the campaign here, at a ratification meeting to-morrow, at which I ave been invited to speak first on bebalf of the ticket of Hayes and Wheeler. Corresroxdent—What will be the leading questions you will discuss there, Senator? Senator Morrox—I cannot fully say as yet, but I will dwell on some important points, and they will be pitby end interesting atthis time. For one, I will discuss ‘the platform, the strong and vital parts of which aro those that I have been contending for during years past, and for doing which I have been charged with Shaking the bloody shirt. The piatform, in great meas- ‘wre, is what I have in substance and essentially madq {he subject of debate for a long time past, Corrksroxpent—To what particular idea do you re- fer? Senator Monrox—I mean the idea of natronal unity, ‘which, in other words, is the argument that we are a mation and not a league. 1 shall augment my previous feclaration upon this point, and go into the subject fully. Corresroxpent—What is your theory about the way the nomination eventuated when Mr. Blaine had Jeached wo high a vote? Senator Montoy—Well, I can’t esy how that is, in the ybsence of knowing or seeing everything which trans- pired. It was alldone up ina hurry toward the last when it was seen that things had reached a crisis, and Mr, Blaine’s nomination was probable in the opinion of his other opponents, ¢@ CornesPpoxpEent—Will tho nomination effect an entire reconciliation ? . Senator Mortox—Yes, I think it will, and have avery confidence in such a result, Comrusronpent—Was your name withdrawn with your sanction and request? Senator Mortox—My triends had the snatter in full eharge, and all that was done was left to their discre- tion, As they were present on the ground they were best able to judge what was propor to be done ra Dest interests of the repub!icun party, and I am per- feetly reconciled to their action, feeling ae, they did was for the best, I have no fault tofind with it, and, on the whole, I am greatly pleased with it, as weil as quite relieved of suspense. CoxnesPoxpext—What will the result of Mr. Hayes’ nomination be upon the democracy and how will they Sako it? Senator Montox—I believe it will result in the nom- Imation ot Hendricks, ana I think it will impress them that they have mete than they can do to match it in strength, Cornesroxpext—How do you figure out the logic of the Convention and the nomination ? Senator Morton—Not baving been present, and not * having beon informed of all the circumstances, I cannot way. Even my telegrams were delayed both ways, sol was kept unadvised, they reached me quite tardily, have not analyzed the proceedings yet, but I think it ‘will appear finally there was good reason for doing as they did, and every republican will feol satisfied with ‘what was done. I certainly feel very grateful to my friends for tne devoted, faithful and complimentary manner in which they pressed my name and stood by me. Indiana has again earned my lasting grati- tude, as also have my friends in the South I am better than four dead candidates, and sball live through the next four years with composure, I hope, ‘and contiaue to fulfil my mission faithiully. So say- ing, the Senator jocularly sipped a glass of milk cheer- ily, and turned his attention to the solicitude and af- fections of his devoted wile and son, presenting a pic- ture of calmness and quiet after ‘the storm was over’’ and its agitations forgotten lor the time being. INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR CONKLING. The Heratp representative next wended bis way Bround to Wormley’s corner and to tho residence of Benator Conkling adjoining it, on H street, near Fif. veenth. Senator Conkling was, to all appearances, bever ina better humor than he was to-night. Scott Lord and General Banks were in his room when the reporter called. Mr Lord, who was formerly bis law parner at Utica, is in cordial relations with Bim, although he belongs to the opposite party. The conversation was of an casy, social character, glancing otcasionally at politics, but reverting to indifferent topics of the day, quite as much as though it had been held « year ago, far away from all political excitement, “The ticket is an exccllent one,” ¢aid Senator Conkling, with manifest sincerity. ‘I know Governor Hayos personally, He served with me in the House, and I have the highost admiration for his qualitics asa gentioman and statesman. He always has been a flat-footed republican.” This point was emphasized especially by Senator Conkling, as though it afforded him particolar satisfaction. “A republican who pever apologized for his party. He is the hardest of hard money men. His ability is unquestioned. There has not been even ashadow, @ breath of slander, ogainst his purity; and in every fenapest it ws ap exccllent nomination, You know, of dap WA rie NEW YORK HERALD, course, that it was the New York delegation that nom- inated bim.’” Your correspondent assented. Senator Conkling seemed te be much pleased at this fact, When asked whether this action was pursuant to bis instructions he said:—*It could not exactly be called instructions, but it was in harmony with the original purpose of the re- pubhcans of New York, tnat if he (Conkling) could not get the nomination the delegation should wheel into line for Hayes.” Senator Conkling here alluded to the fact that he had always declined to entertain the thought of a nomina- tion until a short time before the Convention, when he received letters accusing him of trifling with the party. Ho then consented, with some reluctance, think the Heraup will be pieased to-night."? He re- marked, in the further course of the conversation, ‘‘Al- though I am aware that it expressed pre.erence for me, but, after all, what the Hzrap wanted was a good mab, and 1, therefore, will be satisfied with Hayes, It isa matter of great gratification for me to know that I have received the support of the Heraup unsought and un- solicited,’ Senator Conkling then turned to his guests and asked their opinions as to what democratic nominee this tieket pointed to, General Banks thought Hancock; Scott Lord, Hendricks, Senator Conkhog expressed no opinion beyond that he thought it would hurt Gov- ernor Tilden. “But,” said he smiling, ‘I think we are going to give these democratic gentlemen,” humorously pointing at Scott Lord, “treuble with this ticket, I tell you they wouldn’t have gone to Cincinnati to help Hayes even if you had paid their railroad fare.”” Mr. Lord thought that the democrats would defeat the ticket, although it was a good one, “In four years from now?" Senator Conkling re- tarned, jucosely. “No, in tour months,” Mr. Lord retorted, General Banks thought ‘‘at the end of the twentieth century.” * The conversation then turned to other topics, but the Vice Presidency bemg alluded to Mr. Conkling expressed satisfaction with Mr. Wheeler. ‘‘He is not very woll known,” said he, ‘‘but we can soon make him known.” He said Governor Morgan would also make a very good Vice President. Then hoe told some good stories, and humorously remarked that Governor Hayes’ wife ‘was one of the handsomest women in Ohio, which, in iwelf, would give him an advantage over Governor Tilden, : “Many beautiful young girls drivo out-with him,” said he, “bat, alas! they drive to no purpose,” The reporter took his departure from the Senator, leaving him in good humored conversation with his friends, and evidently not contemplating suicide or any other dread/ul thing on account of his fniluro to obtain the nomination, Tho Senator expressed his gratitude to the proprietor of the Heratn for the un- solicited support given him, and impressed its repre- sentative strengly with bis gratification at Governor Hayes’ perfect freedom from rings, or from any taint of corruption whatsoever. MR, BLAINE NOT SREABLE, Acali next made upon Mr. Blaino to ascertain his views about the nomination and how he regarded it, His elegant house was brilliantly lighted up and open atevery window. In his large saloun parior a beauti- ful scene was transpiring in contrast to what might be supposed would be associated with the prevailing disappointment of the hour. His favorite little daughter, who watched the ex-Speaker so tenderly with her mother during his recent dangerous indispo- sition, was seated at the piuno playing a familiar opera air, while Gail Hamilton, the gifted authoress, his sister- in-law, was pacing leisurely and in apparent meditation up and down the room, attired in a mugnificent and costly dress of white figured satin, the long train of which swept gracefully along the flowered carpet, her superb carriage and toilet, rominding one of a scene in tho paimy days of sugenie and the Tuileries. All was ev- idently cheerful to the observer and tho inmates of the house had made up their minds to look on the whole affair of Mr, Blaine’s defeat with philosophic in- difference. Presently Mrs. Biaine, in a mod- est plum colored silk, made her appearance and looked every inch the proud matron and brave woman she has shown herself in ber hosband’s trials. In _ answer to an inquiry she said that, while Mr. Blaine had not yet retired, the doetor had called and taken charge of him, forbidding any one to see or talk with him, as he had alroady had several) callers, and, she thought, had somewhat fatigued himself in talking so much about the event of the day. She added that ho did not realize how mech he had ° actually gone through, and she was apprehensive, as well as the doc- tor, that Mr. Blaine might overtax himself, Hence she would prefer that he would not be interviewed until ty-morrow. He was feeling nicely and taking every- thing coolly, saying which, with great politenoss, she bowed herselt away kindly and said good night, Mr. Biaine rode out immediately aiter hearing the news of Mr. Hayes’ nomination and passed the tele- graph office where a crowd had gathered, bowing hiv recognitions with a cheerful smile and assumed levity which struck the bystanders moat favorably. He took off his hat and promised the crowd, in a short speech, that Maine would give Hayes and Wheeler a rousing majority. * * INTERVIEW WITH BRISTOW. * Secretary Bristow was out driving whon your cor- respondent called. Presently he camo in and chatted with Governor Jewell and his family in the most’ un- concerned manner, Horo were two defeated candi- dates both smilingly exchanging comments on their defeat. “You have beon out cooling yourself, both fram the heat of the day and of the political contest,’ the re- porter remarked. = Secretary Bristow laughed. ‘No, the latter did not trouble me very much,’’ ho replied, *‘alshough, of course, I could not help thinking about it, and I am glad that 1t is over, I donot think I look as though I bad suffered.” This query merited the candid reply which it received, that the Secretary and Whiskey Ring Smaster had rather increased in avoirdupois during the contest than decreased, In giving his opinions of tho ticket Secre- tary Bristow was, if possible, oven more enthusiastic than Senator Conkling He culogized Governor Hayes, and said that he telegraphed two days ago to Generai Harlan to transfer his (Bristow’s) delegates to Hayes as soon as he deemed it expedient. When asked whether Blaine bad not boon dofeated by a combina- tion of the other candidates, Secretary Bristow replied that it was more a tacit agreement to beat Blaine than an expressed combination. He thought that as Schurz had supported Hayes last year he would work for him in this, and that the ticket would carry with it the support of the reform republicans bt the Adams, Bullock, Bryant school. The platform, he thought, was excollent, although, in his opinion, tho bard money platiorm was not quite so hard as it might have been. Mr. Bristow also thought that Hayes, althoogha hard money man, was not tho hardest of the bard The plank as to Chinese immigration was a piece of dema- gogism; but with these exceptions Mr. Bristow heartily approved of the platform. “I suppose you will do all you can for the ticket?” the reporter asked. “Well, yes, as much as! can,” Mr. Bristow replied with some hesitation, “although I shall not be very much in politics atter this, as, indeed, I have not been in the past.”” “Is it true that you have resigned?” “My official resignation is not yet in the hands of the President,” Mr. Bristow replied, ‘but I have inti- mated to him my desire to. retire, and hope to do so early next week.” Mr. Bristow expressed perfect confidence In the suc- cess of the ticket, and although Mr. Jewell addressed his conversation more to the ladies present, bis inci- dental exprossions left no doubt that he thought it was a strong ticket, Both gentlemen thought that the ad- dition of Mr. Wheeler strengthened it considerably, and Mr. Jeweil said that Governor Morgan would also havo beon a strong nominee for the Vice Presidency. BRISTOW'S SUCCESSOR, Mr, Preston jormed a leading republican Senator to-night that he would withdraw from the Cabinet on Wednesday next and cease thereafter to be Secretary of the Treasury. His successor is not yet known among the best informed leavers of the republican party. The name of ex-Governor Morgan, of New York, is mentioned. Tho retirement of Mr. Bristow will, it is said, involve that also of the Assistant Sec- retary, Mr. Burnham, and Messrs. Biaford Wilson and Yaryan. THE CABINET MAKERS. Very naturally the Cabinet makers have gone to Cabinet for Governor Hay<s in the the noxt President of the United States, Just as naturally these gentlemen havo Jumped. to the concinsion that President Hays would not disturb Secretary = Fish, but that in choosing a Secretary of the Treasury he would probably let nis choice fall upon Senator Jobn Sherman, of Obio, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, whore recognized ability in financial mat- ters would be his great recommendation. SENATOR SHERMAN interviewed to-night concerning this ramor, he laughed good humoredly, said that the gossips knew more than he did and a . good deal more than Governor Hayes about the matter, Evidently Governor Hayes was one of the most modest men in the world and his nomination must have been a complete surprise to him. He was far from making Cabinets so soon, The was but Senator then adverted to the career of Governor Hayes, which had been one of steady promotion and advancement, based upon his honest merit. He was an educated if not an erudite man. Ho was a graduate of alaw sebool, and a profouod jurist, and would bring great intellectual ability and talent to the adminstration of the office of President, He had steadily risen from place to place until he was now Governor of his State and likely to be Preshient of the United States. CONGRATULATIONS. Senators Morton and Conkling and Representative Blaine and Secretary Bristow have severally sent tele- grams to Governor Hayes offering their congratulations and support, Senator Morton’s despatch was as fol- lows :— Governor R. B. Harxs, Columbas, 0.:— T congratulate you upon your nomination for the Presidency, and shall labor earnestly for your success, 0. P, MORTON, The following is a copy of Secretary Bristow’s mes- sage:— Governor R. B. Harxs, Columb I beg you toaccept my earnest anc hearty congrata- lations, Your nomination secures victory in Novem- ber. B, H. BRISTOW, Mr, Blaine telegraphed as follows:— Wasuixeton, D. C., June 16, 1876, To Governor R, B. Harss, Columbus, Obio:: I offer you my sincerest congratulations on your nomination. It will be alike my highest pleasure as my first political duty to do the utmost in my power to promote your election, The earliest moments of my returning and confirmed health will be devoted to se- curing you as large a vote in Maine as she would have given for myself, J. G. BLAINR, In reply to Mr. Blaine’s despatch the following was received at an early hour this evening:— Cotvancs, Obio, June 16, 1876, To Hon, J, G. Braryx, Washington :— Your kind despatch has touched me most deeply, and I hardly know how to respond in fitting terms. The assurance of our sympathy and support nerves me for the contest in which we are about toenter. With your returning health and strength I see an omen of republican success, {f trust that all trace of your recent illness will speedily dina pear, that you may speedily be restored to your family and country, I send you my first despatch since the nomination, HAYES, As soon as New York’s vote on tho seventh ballot ‘was reported Mr. Blaine sat down and wrote his con- gtatulatory despatch to Mr. Hayes and it was on the wires to Columbus before the footings of the ballot were received in Washington. Immodiately after the formal announcement Mr. Blaine rode out with, bis oldest son and was received with load cheers wherever crowds were assembled on the streets, Mr. Blaine received despatches thronghout the day fo his library in company with some dozen friends, whom he continually assured Hayes would be ulti- mately nominated. He was fully impressed with the probability of a successful ‘combination against bim, and except during twenty minutes following the sixth ballot, did not expect the nomination. He was alto- gether the coolest aad least excited of the company. During the evening his residence was crowded with callers, whom Mr. Blaine received with cheerfulness, exhibiting no trace whatever of disappointment Dis- cussing the events of the day, he says the immediate cause of the failure of his friends to secure his nomi- nation was the holding back of votes for him from Penvsylvania aftér the third ballot. This Mr, Blaine attributes to the fictitious strength lent to Hartranft from time to time by the Conkling forces, which made {t possible for a minority of the Pennsylvania delegation to urge that their candidate | could not properly be dropped while tie was still appa- | chal rently gaining votes. Mr. Blaine has sent to Messrs. Hamlin, Hale, Frye and Stevens the following despatch :— Bear to all my {fiends who have so nobly and de- votedly stood by me the profoundest expressions of my heart’s warmest gratitude. J. G. BLAINE, Senator Conkling sent the following telegram to- night :— “Governor Hares, Colum! ‘Ohio:— “| heartily congratulate the country, the republican party and you op your nomination. You need no as- surance of the cordiality of my support, Sincerely yours, ROSCOE CONKLING.”? NEW YORK OPINIONS. It is hardly likely that there was more excitement in Cincinnati over the proceedings of the Republican Na- tional Convention deliberating in the “Quoen City” than there was in Now York yesterday. Early in the morning the feeling of interest was evinced by the crowds that gathered in the vicinity of the newspaper offices and eagerly scanned tho bulletins, and by the exclamations of the business men as they hurried past, It was conceded that ere the day was done the fate of some of the candidates must be decided, and the curiosity of everybody was on tiptoe to learn who would be killed, figuratively, in the hot political tray then impending. Before the news of the result of the first ballot in the Convention was received here tho chances of every candidate for the nomination had been thoroughly canvassed everywhere in the city—in the clubs and the hotels, on the thoroughfares, beforo the newspaper offices where the loungers waited patiently for the first announcements, and ‘on the street.”? At the last named place, the great centre of the moneyed Interests, the question “Who will be the nominee ?” was put [requently aud answered variously. Blaine, however, was tho favorite there, and in him most ot the specalators placed their faith. I¢ was ex- Plainod by them that ho was the champion of progress, the advocate of the develop- ment of the country through the extension of railroad facilities, and consequently the man above all others to be put forward by the republican party for the suffrage of ite adherents, These advo- cates of Blaine pooh-poohed the charges against him, denounced “the Boston Mulligan,” and, pointing to the records in the morning papers, asserted that their man would carry the Convention on the first ballot, Democrats, as well as republicans, took part in the dis- cussions, and when the Biaine men spoke of their can- date as an advocate of raiirond extension, some Tildenites responded, ‘Well, if the ropublt- cans put up Blaine bevanse he believes in railro © a mon who is equally zealous in their benaif, not bis bad record in connection with them, me is Samuel J. Tilden. It railroad extension is to be the test between candidates for tne Presidency Tilden can Bia easily, Hence, if Blaine is nominated hall not have to take up his religious intolerance a8 a weapon with which to beat him down.” And thus crowing they expreseed the wish that Bi: might be nominated that Tilden might be m: stronger in the St. Lows Convention. though these men spoke out there were other democrats also interested in railroads who said nangot. And these men thonget tong and wisely, if the statement be true tbat a “stlitongue maketh a'wise head,” or conversely, ‘a wise head maketh a still tongue.” Very few ‘on the street,” as has been said, thought that Blaine would be beaten; you the questions arose, “Ii, by some unforeseen chance, he is beaten, who’ will be the nominee? Who is the great Unknown? Upon whom will a combination be mado?” it was conceded early in the day that if Blaine was defeated Conkling would not win, nor ris. tow be the successful aspirant the contest between the adherents of these gentlemen, it was said, was too bitter for them to agree upon either, s Hence “the dark horse” must win, it was declared. at WHERE 18 “THR DARK HoRse?”’ Has the “speeder” a name? These conundrums wei thus solved by several rapient persons:—'The firs three baliots will be the test of the strength of Blaine, Conkling and Bristow, and Wf no result is reached through them a fourth man will be sought promise made in his favor, Aiter the candid come Hayes and Wheeler, and of theso two Wheeler has the smaller chance, becauze he js not known throughout the country, and because those who do know him characterize him asa “ratlroud jobber.” From this course of reasoning the conciasion was drawn that in case Blaine was defeated Hayos would be nomi- nated, the reasoners had very little faith that events would verily their logic. When the news of tho, result of the first ballot reached here the opinion was expressed everywhere that Blaine would be nominated. The belief of most ple was summed up curtly or Wickham in jis remark to reporter that “The man who can poll 292 votes 18 a bard man to beat.” Alter having de- livered hmsel! of this remark our worthy Mayor pro- ceeted to run counter to the logic previously ex- pounded herein, by saying:—‘‘My imdividual opinion of the struggle ws it stands is that Vong | wilt toally ‘unite all the elements of the opposition prove the successful man, * This thoroughly evinced the insight which Mr. Wickham has nto the sabtle workings of party politics, In ever; peveriman\ of tbe city goverament, as well asin tho N ment, there ‘was a severish an: to learn the Convention was doing, Clerks their desks and canvassed the chances of candidates; but the opinions expressed ee nak Place were very little different from those given ‘e. AMY O’RRIEN’S PORBSIGHT, Inthe Astor House, after the first ballot, were gathered ex-Sheriff O'Brien, and several other ex-offl- cials of the eity, with a number their followers, They were all expressii opt O' Brier asked by a reporter:. ou argue from the first ballot?” ss “I think that it means the nomination of Hayes,” low do you come to that conclusion?” asked the rier. PBocanse 1 think that vote was taken asa test, not itrength of Bis as of the weako of Washburne and Cenkling. Now they will concen- trate all the outside py oa Hayes, Waitan hour right. All the afternoon ‘antil the final resnit was telo- graphed hither betting was briek in every hotel, club, or other place of congregation. The sums wagered Were not large, however, for most of the betters were of the order of minor politicians, John Morrissey was reported to have made many bets, but upon whose suc- cess could not be learned in the afternoon. APTER THE NEWS. When the news of the nomination of ex-Governor Hayes, of Ohio, for frst place was received, there was evinced nothing to indicate that it was in any sense @ very popular selection by the crowds that canvassed she action of the Convention in the public places, There were no loud or boisterous approvals heard, no shouting or cheering such as one is apt to associate with the welcome reception of the choice of a favorite. Whatever of satisfaction was expressed confined itself to the inner circles of republicanism, rarely, if at all, bubbling out in the open places, From the talk heard last ‘ing there ts every rea- son to believe that Blain jomination would have met with a heartior reception throughout the city. Conkling’s rame, too, would no doubt have stirred the masses. Hayes, though his name was associated with no weakening reports, was not known enfiiciontly im connection with any inspiring public effort to bring outenthusiasm. As ap instanco of the fact that Hayos is in some sort ‘a dark horse’ it may be said that not one New Yorker in a hundred, even those who devote their exclusive attention to politics, could tell what Haycs’ Christian name was last evenin, “WHAT 18 HAYES’ NaME?”? asked a Henaip reporter of one other, anf invariably the answer came in these words, m d——d if I know!” The question in one instance recalled a local bistarical circumstance, When Frank Pierce was nominated ho, too, was very little known to ‘‘the boys” in New York; but still they shouted for bim, aa in éuty bound in those good old days. “Hurrah for Frank Pierce!” shouted a icsty ‘follower of the old-time war horse of tbe democracy, Marshal Rynders, “Harrah for Frank Pierce!’ and, turning to a friend with the inimitable swagger of the ward “heeler” of the time, he added, “Who the — is Frank Pierce?” But, then, not to know great men 1s to argue one’s self unknown, In another instance a democratic politician, who was asked by a HERALD ro- porter what was Hayes’ name, after giving the inva- Tiable reply, told the following story of a conversation between two bootblacks shortly before William Make- peace Thackeray’s visit to Aincrica:— “Do you know who is coming to this coantry, Jimmy"? queried bootbiack No. 1 of his associate. “No,” replied “Who's comiug?” “Why, the it Thackeray, No, 1. “And who’sthe great Lis ckeray?’’ furtl inquired the unenlightened outh, “I’m d—d if I know,” responded bootblack jo. 1. But while those of democratic sympathies and the independent masses looked at the matter in this light, the republicans professed to be highly gratified at tho result, They affect to consider the nominations in the light of a movement for reform. Hayes, they say, is A MAN WHO WILL TRIUMPH OVER ALL OPPOSITION, At the Union League Club the feeling exctied was for recent rupture, since Bristow dis- canvass Bilaine’s gallant struggle ken of wiih Prespectfui admiration that seemed to have in it a tinge of regretful sympathy. Conkling’s weakness was to some equally a surprise, though this was accounted for on the ground of his personal reserve, Hayes’ name seoms to te favorably ted by the representatives of the Republican Reform Club of this city now in Cincinnati, Last night a telegram was received at the club rooms, No. 39 Union square, from the Secretary, which read as follows:— Burvstican Reroxw C0 ‘Hayes in nom! i and reform triamphant! ‘The machine politicians defeated at every puint. Yet if the sender of that telegram wore in New York Jast evening he would find ‘*knowing ones” ready to prove to him thatthe nomination of Hayes was irom the first ‘fixed’ and that the combination of forces to beat Blaine did not arise from the exigencies of the hour, but was a prearranged and skitiully executed coup tor which thoso inside the circle were not unpre- red. Pejome aemoeratic politicians busied themselves with speculations on the manner in which this ehoice of the republicans ts likely to affect the chances of Governor Tilden for ffrst place at St. Louis. Hayes being a Wext- ern man it was thought the West should be asked to furnish a man to eat him. If the nominee had been chosen froma point further west, however, it would havo been considered more detrimental to Mr. Tilden’s nes, The money question, too, found its way Into the dis- cussions of the hour, and at ono time formed the sub- Ject ot an animated wordy quarrel at the bar of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Bat as the crowd involved did not embrace any notabilities imterest soon died out in the dispute, particularly as the discussion was of a rather rambling nature. Among the visitors to the Fifth Avenue Hotel during the evening was the Warwick of republicanism, Thur- low Weed. After a brief stay, however, be left tor home, evidently displeased st finding few with whom he could talk satisfactorily. AT THE HOTELS, ‘The hotels wero densely crowded by persons who aro never seen there except on occasions of great popular interest, such as political and financial crises, Frott the moment of the announcement of the nomination the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Hoffman: House, St, Jamos and other uptown hotels were thronged by in dividuals who wore at first surprised at Blaino’s dofeat” and secondly at Hayes’ nomination, Certainly the great massof the loungers in these public places did pot expect that the “favorite son of Ubio” would be chosen to carry the standard of the republican party during this campaign insted of Conkling, Bristow or Washburne. Then, too, it was evidently the belief last night that Blaino’s defeat was’ accomplished only alter a hard battle, by the combina- tion of all the followers of tho other candidates, who felt it necessary to the life of tho party that he should not be chosen to lead it in the coming struggle, being a vulnerable man and one on who: inner victory would refore tho nomination of Hayes and iversally satisfactory to the republicans who met in the above mentioned places to discuss it and not quite #0 gratifying to the k and file of the democrats, who could only judge of its value by the manner in which the opposite party regarded it. was a singular absence of promi logal democratic magnates from the hotels; of course those of the opposite stripe were in Cincinnati or at the Union League Clab. Nevertheless, the scones in each of the places herein before named, were animated and busting, although not very uproarious or marked by enthusiastic demonstration, bytes spirit was speculative rather than jubilant At the Fifth Avenue Hote} Congressman Whitehouse, of Poughkeepsio, said to a Henan reporter that he thought the republican ticket a very strong one indeed, and that the nomina- ton of Blaine would bave veen very disastrous to the Tepublican party, . This opinion frevailed among the loungers, wbo had little else 7 say when spoken to on the sabject. It was noticed by all who scruti- nized the bulletins hanging in the hotel containing the yotes end ballots cast on ull questions that came be- fore the Convention yesterday that the number of ballots by which, Hayes was nominated tallied very closely with those which decided all questions ais by the Convention during the day, showing plainly that there was an anti-Blaine organization from the opening to the closing of the proceedings powerful enough to crush his chances and bring about the, result aflerward obtained. This tho republicans noticed and promulgated, adding that, all things considered, Mr, Blaine’s deteat was skilfully en- And was sought by Conkling as well a The democrats were surprised that neither the latter gentleman nor Mr. Washburne ae- veloped much strength. They did not like the Hayes ticket. AT THK UNION LFAGUR CLUB, Perhaps no body 10 this city was more affected by the Cincmnati nomination than the Union Clap, Its members began to assemble at tho clu soon as the ticket was announced, and as t! the reading room and parlors expressed thot tion. No formal meeting was held, but one has been called for Wednesday evening, for the purpose ot rati- fying the ticket. Last evening a Hwrato reporier called at the club and conversed with several of tho members, all of whom pronounced the homination ex- cellent, and such as would unaoubtealy ve indorsed by a large majority of the members. Mr. Seligman said that Governor Hayes was weil known (o be sound on all the great questions so vital vo the republican party and a mam whose record is without a biemish, ‘General Hayes,’’ said he, “is without doubt the best choice that could have been made, and his election i+ certain, Astor Mr. Whevier, he # inevery way fitted to occupy the second pluco upon 1 think the Union League Club can unite upon these gentlemen without any difficulty and will do 86, The nomination of both wil enable us to sink the differences taat were said to be pending on the Presidential question.

Ali that had been said by Messrs, Seligman and Allen was repeated by Mr. Apple- ton, who added that he bad little doubt now of the suc- cess of the republican party. THE MANHATTAN CLUB AND BEN WOOD. A teoling of indifference prevailed among the mem- bere of this institution last evening 1p reference to the Dominations at Cincinnati. Judging by the sentiments expressed by several prominent gentlemen the “Dark Horse’ of the democracy is still in the ascendant, and no fears are entertained that the next President will wave tho standard of Jefferson and Jackson. In con- versation with Mr. Benjamin Wood the following senti- ments were expressed :— “The ticket le a weak one, and if the democrats act with any discretion fis making ap their nominations it is my firm belief that it will be badly beaten. Hayes, in the first place, 1s certainly a Great Unknown—few have beard ct him. Again, he is selected from a State (Ohio) which the republicans claim in any case, Now where was tho policy in taking a man for the first place on the ticket trom an assured republican State? Why didn’t they secure adoubttul State? The sclection was much inferior to a ticket bearing either Conkling or Blaine’s came. To New Yorkers Conkiizg would have been inflaitely preterabie, and Blaine much better, because while the former is directly from our State, the second is a neighbor, close by, an Kastern man. and a plucky one, with a brilliant record.” “WHAT ABOUT WHEELER?’ “Why, Wheeler is comparatively unknown outside his own district. He has been in Congress along timo and who bas heard of him?” “Wouldn’t Woodford nave been a better selection ?”* any indeed, I served in the State Senate with Woodford. He is an excellent presiding officer, impartial, bigh toned and decisive; and you ‘know the Vice: President is simply a high toned chairman, after all Woodford, de- sides, is a man of popular manners aud an able orator, eloquent and argumentative, He would haye been in- finitely better than any in the state except, perhaps, Evarts or Morgan, but | doubt if either of these gentie- men would take the second piace,” “Well, Mr, Wood, should the democracy nominate Tilden, WHAT ARB THN CHANCES OF sUCCRSST” “Excellent, Indecd, in my opinion, we will win sur “Don’t you think thore is a good deal of opposition in the Stave to Tilden ¥”” . “No, not at all—not enongh to speak of. When it comes to a vote that little will quickly disappear, and those who made it will be ashamed to acknowledge it. 1 think Tilden ts sure to get the nomination and with @ good second that means an election against this Cin- ctnnati selection.’? THUBLOW WEED ON THE TICKET. Having taken a turn through tho Manbattan Club, the Fifth Avenuo Hotel, the Union League Club and Gtlmore’s Garden last evening, Mr. Thurlow Weed reached his home shortly after ten o’clock, and blithely heralded his approbation of the Cincinnati nominations, coupled with his firm conviction that, properly man- aged, the republican party cannot fail to win the com. ing fight, “Sf havo folt from the first,” said the grim old chieftain, as he slid one foot into a slipper and rested his favorite leg on an easy chair— “{ have felt from the first that the strong candidates were entirely too strong for thelr own good. Conkling and Blaine went to Cincin- nati for Conkling and Biaine, and nobody else. The bona fide Conkling men had no special enthusiasm that I know of, but they felt bound in honor to stand by thoir man alive or dead, They would make no terms with the supporters of Mr, Blaine, In fact, the canvass resolved itself into a fight to the death against Mr, Blaine. Anything and anybody to beat Blaine must then sooner or later have become the war cry, even of the Conkling men, for they were certain to see or have forced upon them the fact that of the two Binine had the greater strength, Well, 1t was the same thing with tho Blaine ple. Under what possible circumstances could they gain anything by aiding Conkling? Conkling meant Grant, and Grant’s friends are all in pce uow. Oh, no! bave never seen the slightest possible chance for Conkling. Three months ago | thought WASHBURNE WAS TUR MAN, and if Washbarne bad been nominated he would hava had, jn this city alone, from 15,000 to 20,000 votes that no other republican can get.

The Young Men's Centennial Republican Campaign Club of the Twentieth Assembly district threw a very large bannor bearing the names of Hayes and Wheeler across Third avenue at Fifty-tifth street last night. The republicans of the Seventh Assembly district are early inthe field for Hayes and Wheeler. A club was formed last evening at a meeting held at No. 71 South Waspington square. Thomas E. Stewart was elected temporary chairman and William P. Richardson secre- tary. Several speeches were made, Committees were pointed to report a constitation, bylaws and perma- nent officers, The meeting was adjourned until next Monday evening.

Crxcrsmati, Jane 16, 1876, A grand ratification mecting was held to-night at Piko’s Opera House, The committee of the Bristow Club, of this city, waited upon the Hayes committes and Invited them to take possession of the Opera House, The large hall was filled to 1ts utmost capacity, and all the speeches made were received with the ab most enthusiasm, The meeting was called to order by John Carlisle, who said that the club known as the Bristow Club, but now the Hayes Club, bad tendered the uso of the ball for a grand ratification meeting. He introduced GENERAL HAWLEY, of Connecticut,rwho caine forward amid Joud cheers, and addressed the meeting as follows:—-Mr, Chairman and geutlemen—Being just at your door when this call eame | could not pledd in justification for nom-attend- ance the extreme weariness which we certamly all feck You are aware of our arduons labors of $i last. three days, especially those of as whe were on committees, some of which sat up all night to complete reports, and now wo are quite ready to res and to rest sweetly and pleasantly, because I can say that on the whole we are exceedingly satisfied witn the work we have done. (Cheers.) We do not deny that we suffered no little anxiety, We were conscious that this wns the turning point in the history of the repubd- lican party, I say no more to you than I said frankly in tho Convention—it was not worth our while to shut our ears to the fact that there existed throughout the country not a litte dissatisfaction; but the great body of the staunch, faithful, patriotic, indomitable republican party stood by its colors, (Cheers.)

But many of us fea that it might bave been much better than it wag whatever the reason, whatever the philosophy, And) don’t stop now to point out these errors, That is quite unnecessary, and would certainly be an an- grateful task. The fact was that they existed. And it ig an excellent sign—not one he Jamented—that there provails throughout the country an interest longing to lift up party politics to a higher plane as far as possible, to make all possible apology, if you choose to call it #0, to the Americe peopl» for our shortcomings by giving them ne pledges, and the strongest in our power, for a beter future.

Nobody this side of heaven. knows the debt of gratitude thia country owes to that man for the indomitable courage with which be throttled rebellion in that State, Cheers.)
