Cotumaca, Ohio, June 17, 1876, ‘The Presidential standard bearer of the republican party for 1876, Governor Rutherford B. Hayes, was found by your correspondent to-day, seated quietly in his room, at the Stato Capitol, when the fuliowing con- ‘versation took place:— Conngaronpext—I suppose you were somewhat sur- prised at the news of your nomination by the Cincin- pati Convention? . Governor Hayzy—Well, after hearing the result of the tirat and second ballots the hopes of my friends were greatly raised. Arrangements had been made at he telegraph office, so that I knew how the _ Voting went on. perhaps beforo it was formally announced from the platform. By this means I probably knew of my nomination at least tive minutes before the secretary guve out the official figures. I need not say that such an honor conferred by the ro- publican party is deeply gratifying to me. CorausPonpext—Waat do you think of the platform ‘adopted at Cincinnati? . Governor Hayes—-I have not had an opportunity of examining it as yet. 1 must read it over carefully. At @ cursory glance I think it is an excellent oneand vould ‘Rot be improved upon. ca Conggsronpext—The candidacy of Mr. Blaine re Served a very liberal support in the Convention, Governor Hayrs—It was, indeod, very compliment- ary to that distinguished genticman and was richly deserved; no such fidelity or enthusiasm was ever exhibited in the cause of any candidate. His friends Temained true to bim from the beginning to the end. I believe that he received 361 votes on the seventh” ballot. That isa proud record, and a just recognition of Mr. Biaine’s abilities and great services to the re- pablican party. Conazsroxpext—W hat do you think of Mr. Wheeler's Romination for the Vice Presidency ¢ Governor Hayzs—I don’t know mach about Mr. ‘Wheeler, but I believe that he possesses many excel- Jent elements, great strength of charaeter, positive ideas and a stern will to perform all the necessary duties of apy office which he may be called upon to al _ At this moment Mr. Karl Freiherr von Tautphoeus, Commissioner trom Bavaria to the Centennial, was ushered into the Governor's room, accompanied by Mr. Ferdinand F. Rempel, a citizon of Obio, and the conversation became general, Governor Hayes branched off on the Centennial. He said that it gratified him very much to hear the Ex- bibition spoken of so kindly by representatives of for- eign countries, ‘The Bavarian gentleman remarked that he had been to the Paris and Vienna Expositions, and Philadelphia's enterprise compared favorably with both, Governor Hares—I am delighted to hear you say so. ‘It must please every American to hear their Exhibition alluded to in terms of prasse, ComnrgsroxpEent—I see that Stewart L. Woodford’s ame was mentioned in the Convention as a candidate for the Vice Presidency. Governor Haras—Yea, strong man with us in this section; his speeches and debates on the financial issues during our canvass of October, 1875, did a great deal of good, Mr, Rumrar—That was a great victory, but the bat- Ue was won more particularly en the religious ques- tion. The Germans felt this issue very keenly. They voted solidly for you, Governor, Governor Harxs—There is considerable truth in what you say, but the financial question will not be so difficult to dotermino in tne coming contest, The democrats are at scaon the issue themselves. They talk of repealing the Resumption act, but what then? They do not make any proposition &s to their next movement, I would like to known what the present democratic Congress has done to polve the financial question; absolutely nothing, (Then turning to the Bavarian Commissioner in an ex- planatory mood, Governor Hayes coatinued):—“You know we have a peculiar contest going on hore be- “tween hard and soft money men. It is a question as to ‘the policy ofthe government getting some paper and thereupon placing its stamp, which paper shall stand for currency and be used the same as gold and silver.” Conuzsroxpent—But thousands of people in this sec- tion believe that where mouey is scarce und business Gall all the remedy requisite is to tissue sufficient greenbacks to smooth away all difficultue: of the hour, Governor Havas—Yes, that is true, and it is difficult bo convince them of the contrary. Here a number of colored delegates entered the foom, with whom the Presidential nominee shook hands cordially. The stroam of visitors then continued to pass in and out, Govornor Hayes’ at- vention being entirely taken up with making waitable replies to the many complimentary congratu- (ations showered upon him. He was oxtremely modest und courteous to all, and no ceremony whatever main- jained in the admission of visitors, the doors of the Executive chamber being thrown open and all allowed bo water at pleasure. A spectator remarked to me that it reminded him forcibly of the scene witnessed in Springtield, IL, When the nows came in 1860 that Abrabam Lincoln tad been nominated for President of the United States, TER OPPICIAL NOTIFICATION TO GOVERNOR NAYES. This evening, at ten o'clock, the commitice ap- pointed by the late National Convention to inform Governor Hayes of his nomination, called for the pur- pose at the State Capitol They arrived about seven p’elock in a special car from Cincinnati, aod wore re- poived at the depot by a company of cadets anda band of music. They were then escorted in carriages to the Net! House, and cheered along the ruute. The follow- ing States and Territories were represented: — ‘on. Charles C. Van Zandt. Joseph H. Rainey, ‘Jacob M, Thornburg. Edmued J, Davia, Jolot A -R. C. McCormick, . Alexander Hughes, 8. J. Bowen. ‘The long delay between the arrival of the committee and calling upon the Governor was owing to a difference of opinion among the members of the committee on the addreas as to the form in which it should be made, A procession was fermed in the parior of the hotel, headed by E. D. Morgan, of New York, avd Mr. McPherson, of Pennsylvania, permareot Chairman of the late Convention. Governor Hayes stood near the middie of the room when the committee entered, with Mra Hayes on his arm, and seated on a lounge behind him were Mrs. E, D. Mor- gan, Mra, Marshall 0. Roberts and Mrs, Bell, wife of the Secretary of Stato of Ohio, Governor Hayes was dresved with moro than his usual attention to costume, and his face was as impassive as if cut in marble, Thore wus certainly nothing bright or expros- sive about it. He stood with bis hand inserted in his Vest, and when he responded in a few words to the ad- Gress of the committee it was evidently under consid. erable emotion, and almost of embarrassmeat, Three feot away his voico was inaudible, but bis words were few and of trifling import, Mr. McPherson, coming to the front, spoke as fol- lows :— Goverpor Hares—We have been deputed by the National Convention of the republican party, holden at Ciacinnati on the 14th of the prevent month, to in- form you offcialiy that you have been upanimously nominated by that Convention tor the office of Presi- dent of the United States, The manner in which that action was taken, and the response to it from every sion of the country, attest the strength of the popular confidence in you and the behef that your administration will be wise, courage- ous and just, We say, sir, your administration, tor we believe tho people will confirm the action of the Convention and thus save the country from the con- trol of the men and the operation of the principles and policy of the aemocratic party. We ha been directed to ask your attontion to the summary of ro- doctrine contained in the form adopted by 2 Convention and disebarging this agreeable duty we find cause for congratulasion in the harmonious action of the Convention ; and the hearty response givee by the We seo promise of assured success. Ohio ‘we know trasts and houvors you. Henceforth you be- Jong to the whole country, Under circunistancos so Baspicious we trust you will indicate your acceptance of the nomination. SPEECH OF GOVERNOR HAYES. Governor Havas replied as follows:— Sin—I nave only to say, in response to your informa- tion, that I the nomination. Perbaps at tho present time it would be improper for me to more than this, although ev now I should. ve glad to give some expression to confidence reposed protound gratitude I feel for the in me by yourselves ana those for whom you act.. At a future time | sball take Occasion to present my seceptance in writing, with my views upon the platform, The delegates were then personally introduced to their nominee and spent considerable time with him, informally conversing on various subjects. Alter this a general handshaking took place, and Mrs Hayes was called upem to endure a severe ordeal in that line. Sho was dressed in brown silk, fashionably cut; lavender kid gloves, white ‘tie and bonnet of black, trimmed with white ribbon and roses, Her hair was done upin the old style of forty years ago, parted down over the sides of the forebead, but her highly expressive and prepoasessing face made avcry favorable impression, Every ove departed do- lighted with Mra Hayes The exchange of congratulations between the Governor and the members of the committee, and with the numerous distinguished citizens who accompanied them was of ® most cordial and gracious character. . THE Mayes CLus oF COLUMBUS oceupied eleven cars in returaing to-day from Cincin- mat. They were mot by a band of music and an enthusiastic cheering crowd ot people at the depot. They had a banner with a portrait of Governor Hayes surmounted and festooned with flowers, A procession was formed, and amid contiu- wed cheering from the citizens who hiped both sides of High street from the depot, the club marched to the State Capitol and paid their respects to Governor Hayes There was a good deal of hand sbaking, but the Gover. por made no formal address. A few brief speeches were made by General John Beatty, of Columbus, and Jadge Slonaker, of Louisiana, on the steps of the Capitol. The enthusiasm of the club was responded to by the citizens generally, and thero is everywhere in Columbus great joy at the selection of Hayes as the standard bearer of the republican party for the Presidency. , Mr. Eugene Hale, of Maine, called and conversed with Governor Hayes, and presented the compliments of Mr, Blaine. Among others who paid their respects were Colonel Walker and E, D. Morgan, of New York, and Dr. Davis, of Maryland. SERENADE 70 THR COMMITTER. The committee appointed to wait upon Governor Hayes wore serenaded at eleven o'clock to-night by a local band, who played for some time in front of the Neil House. A large crowd congregated in front of the hotel. Speeches were made by Mr. Slonaker, of Lousiana; Mr. Reed, of Washington; D. C.; Mr. Hale, of Maine, and other members of the com- mittee. All the remarks tended to eulogize Gover- por Hayes, aud prophesied victory for the republi- can party next fall. Mr, Biaine’s triend, Mr. Hale, of Maino, declared that he woald support Hayes with all the strength at his command. Gov Hayes was called for frequently by the crowd, bgt had retired to his residence some time bo- fore, THE YACTUBE OF ENTHUSIASM AT THE co} ON DESCRIBED—SEETCH OF THE SEC! WORKINGS AT THE CHANGE OF BAl- LOTS+-WHY CONKLING AND WOODFORD WERE ABANDONED—INTERVIEWS WITH PROMINENT N8—MURAT HALSTEAD'S SPEECH. } Cixctxnati, Obio, June 16, 1876, Tho Gonvention hall was densely packed yesterday morning bofore the President’s hammer fell on the desk and callgd the delegates to order. The galleries, espe- | cially, wpre filled to overflowing. These seats have been by day tickets, only good for the date for to bave managed with a great amou: ingenuity their distribution. Belore the ses. Bristow clabs and the Bristow men were yes- favored with gallery tickets; the consequence when Bristow was nominated one would have from the enthusiasm of the galieres that all Obio, # not all the Convention, was in favor of the Ken reformer. x ‘THE HOLLOWNESS OF BRISTOWISN. But jt has been evident from the start that Bristow. tom | mere sham, that the highly respectable gen- Memes who had the cagse of that candidate, and of ministrative reform ho represented, in hand simply honest to run @ successful campaign wily politicians, and that the managers who of the interests of the real hearty men, Conkling and Morton, were present at any jt to make any combination that might offer to the prosecutor of the whiskey rings if it should ime necessary; hence, the Ohio Committee of Ar- jonts are said not to bave feared to give Mr. tow @ good send-off on the day of the nomination, was to be done it was: found that the Obio people bad found a special favor in the eyes of the committee, The seats in the galleries were filled with Buckeye statesmen, who evidently had work to do, and who palled off their coats and sas in their shirt sleeves un" til the hour of action should arrive. The seats at the back of the alternates’ chairs were also filled with the sturdy population of the city of lager and catawba; while the guests’ seats bad a heavy fringe of the same element im their rear. The patriotism of the lungs was ovidently to be looked to to aid the Convention to @ wise selection of candidates, A LAUGH AT BTARTING. Alter the delivery of the prayer tho Secretary of the Convention read a namber of communicetions, mostly invitations, that had been addressed to that body Among others came one invitation from the managers or directors uf the Ohio House of Retuge, which, in view of the destitute condition ia which some of the factit might soon find themselves, was appreciated as timely and was received and accepted amidst roars of laughter; bor was the bilarity of the Convention leasened when, immediately following this iuvitation, was read a notice Of the loss of a mdrocco pocketbook and its contenis and an urgent appeal for its return to its unfortunate owner. THE ROLL CALL, The voting commenced as soon as the preliminary business of the Convention bad been disposed of, The first disturbance of the smooth suriace of the ballot arose when Kentucky cart ber first twenty-four votes for Bristow, Alabama had received cheers from the body of the ball when she led off with ten of ber twenty votes for Blaine, and Illinois had been greeted wito similar applause when she gave thirty-eight votes out of her forty-two for the Eastern candidate, bat no sign of approbation had come from tho galleries. As soon as Kentucky's (twenty-four votes were announoca tor Bristow, however, the galleries commenced their work, and moderate applause from the Bristow dele- gates and from the seuts of the invited guests was met by a countercharge of hisses from the gentlemen who held the tickets of admission distributed by the shrewd Commitice of Arrangements. The Chairman of the Convention promptly cut short this til-judged demoa- stration, and stated that whatever might be thought of the applause indulged in in the galleries there was an evident and staring impropriety in making hostile demonstrations against any geutieman who might be honored by # nomination in the Convention. THE PRNNSYLVAMIA ROW, After this episode the business of the Convention again ran smoothly datil Pennsylvania was reached on the second ballot; the fun then commenced. As soon asthe chairman announced fiity-cight votes fur Hurt- ranft one of the delegates rose in his seat to » question of personal privilege, and claimed that the vote was not truly reported, as some of the delegates had voted, not for Hartranft, but for Blaine. This, of course, tovolvod the whole question of the right of a delegation to vote asaunit. she Chair ruled that th avention could take no notice of any raie or practicn prevailing in the different delegations. own rules recognized tho right of every member of the Convention to vote for candidat nd it was tho highest queation of B gated thut no one could deprive bim of that right. He there- fore devided that the chairman of « delegation, although authorized by the rules to cast the vote of @ State, 1s bound to cast it as it was given by his dek jes, and im Bo other manner; so far ag a delegate was bound by his State Convention to act in 4 certain manner he ‘was responsible to bis State for his action; but the National Convention ceuld only reco; one right— mely, that of every delegate to have his voto prop- erly reported to tne Convention; and ho, therefore, decided that the vote of Pennsylvania must be so re- ported. An appeal from the decision of the Chair was taken, and ascone of contusion followed almost in- describable. Tbe Pennsylvanians indulged to a heated controversy on the floor, which atone time threat- ed to come to blows. Some of tho dolegutes shook their fists at the chairman, and Don Cameron accused him of being influenced by his cwn wishes in making his decision. The Convention was turned into a beer garden, and the chairman, endeavoring to argue with the delegates and hammering with his mallet at the same time, utterly failed to restore order, A Rhodo Island dolegate with a powerful voico was enabled at Tength to straighten out matters by proposing that the cailing of the roll on the second ballot should be proceeded _ with, leaving = out Pennsylvania, and allowing that dificulty to be settiod afterward, The decision of the Chair had at this time been sustained by a large majority and a motion to reconsider the vote sustaining it bad been made, the Rhode Island compromise prevailed and the voting was continued, vut at its close the Pennsylvania fires broke out atresh; the vials of wrath were again opened. Before the result was announced the aebate, as to the right of a delegate to have his vote correctly reported to the Conveution, notwithstanding any resolution of 100, was listened to with interest, since many remeinbered that the same question might arise in the St. Louis Convention, with regard to the New York vote for Governor Tilden. In the end the Convention refused to reconmder the vote, sustaining the decision of the chairman, and thus the rule was estubiished that every delegate bad a rigbt to vote tor what candidate he might ert) men, who tape br to profit by the vote that was ready to go off from Hartranit to +! candidate, of course supported the Chair in this matter, But us the voting progressed it was seen that a fatal error had been committed by the Blaine men in their act:on on this question. Blaine's advocates had sustained tho right of delegates to vote as they might [pees to free them from unit rules, and they did this in order to gain the votes in the Pennsylvania delega- tion that wero jor their candidate; but when the voto broke up Pennsylvania had thirty for siaine and twenty-eight for Hayes, Under the rule, which bound all the Pennsylvania delegates to uct as the majority should determine, the thirty for Blaine would have compelled the others from jasylvania to act with them, and the twenty-eight votes thereby would have given the battle to Blaine. 4 STRADY FIGHT. For six ballots tho voting progressed with remark- able steadiness, Here and there a few votes would change to and from Blaine all the time, but he held about his own, and no changes of an’ significance took place except the ti ballot; then Michigan created #n excitoment by chauging her tactics and voting a plumper tor Hayes, accompanying it by a statement from the chairman of the delegation that Michigan now, for the sake of union and harmony, casts her twenty-two votes for Rutherford B. 4, Of Obio; but although this was the first actual rally on Hayes, it failed to have any im. mediate effect. Other votes went over to Blaine asa wortof compromise, and the result of the ballot and that which followed 1s did pot show any alarming changes, ‘THe BREAK UP.” On the seventh ballot the break up commenced as soon as Alabuma had cast seventeen votes, Ar- kansas eleven, California six and Colorado wx for Blane. Kverybody saw that ton bad been abandoned, and that m a sudden caving in of all opposing candidates would prevent B'aine’s nomination. Indiana recog- nized the crisis formally withdrawing Morton, cast 25 votes for Hayes, New York immediately took the alarm, The time had come when Coukling to be abandoned. General Arthur and Colonel Schuyler Crosby hurriedly leit their seats 10 the visitors’ com- partment and motioned the New York delegates to the jJovby. At this critical stage of tho proceedimgs the New York deleyation was, by an oversight, per- mitted to withdraw. Stewart I, Woodiord was ‘then temporarily in the chair, and tho delegation asked perinission to withdraw, Unly @ vote of the Cou- vention could g.ve them this right; but the Chairman evidently erroneously ruled that the delegation could go out O/ its own motion, und it wentoust. Applied to its lull extent, such a ruling might cause @ recess or an ad- journment at any time, for ail the delegations could in like manner withdraw of their own volition. But out went the New Yorkers, and General Arthur and Colonel Crosby by their united efforts succeeded in uniting the. delegation on Hi yes, except nine, who wont off 10 Biaine. When New York returned the die was cast, It became evident that Hayes was to be victorious, and all were wild with excitement, NOMINATION. . , Cumback, delegation, bad withdrawn his candidate and cast twenty-five vowes for Hayes, Mr. Harlun withdrew Bristow, then Mr. Pomeroy withdrew mk hi and it was evicent that Hayes or Blaine was the candidate of the Convention on this baliot.

Thus it happeved that ail the nice rheworic of Curtis expended in the Cause of Hristow, all the severe logic of Richard Dana and the men of Massachusotts, all the fine phrases of Harlan, were of no value whatever weimbed 1 the bal- ance against the mere yells of a Cincinnati mob. THR VICK PRESIDENCY. In the nomination for the Vice Presidency seventy Votes baa Leen cust for Stewart L. Woodiord wh be State of New York was reached, and, as the Empire State had two c .adidates iu the teid, it was necessary to decide between them, and a consultation was called, which caused some delay. There was a difficulty over the possession of two candidates and the distribution of the vote, and the knot was banusomely and generously cut by Mr. Woodford Limsel{, who mounted the plat- form and, in a yracetul speech that made him many fr.euds, Withdrew bis name.

M. Harian, of Kentucky, thought tbe ticket a grand ono im every respect and one that would be elected in November, Of course Bristow was his first choice, but as be could not get hin he wus better satisfied with Hayes than bo would be with any otber candidate, AN EX-DISTRICT ATTORNEY, William B. Mann, formerly District Attorney of Philadelphia, aud one of the foremost poiiticians in Penusylvania, telt deeply mortitied at the resuit, not that be had any objection to Governor Hayes, but that he felt chagrined at the manner in which the Southern delegations had thrown Biaine over. The success of Hayes was an admiristration triumph, and was the Tesult of the “Anybody to beat Blaine’? movement, The result was achieved by treachery. The vote of | Kentucky, Ohio, New York and ‘Inaiana would | not have affected the result had thoy not been cast at the critical moment. The thirty-two votes of Pennsylvania would have produced the same results for Blaine, bad Peunsylvania been called betore the above mentioned 51 alphabetical order was against hun, The and the other States could not until the mischief was done. The voto of Pennsy)- vauia was keptin such a condition that it had no weight, for its real choice wus Blaine in the Conven- on. ‘here is one thing that mortifies me beyond measure,” said Mr. Mann, *‘and that is principle evinced by the Southern gator bad come here steadfast and impressed wit principle, I could not give that candidate or the nomi- nee of the purty a single electoral vote. But to have them falter like a flock of sheep, then in the suprome moment to have them desert the man who bad rousod and united the party in their behall, to bave them leave the banner of the man who had fought Bes Hillandevery other rebel who dared to raise bis head or waz his tongue aguinst him, for the standard of a man who had not moved hand or foot in their defence for years was too melancholy to contemplate;’’ and Mr. Mann waiked off as disgusted a man os apy ono could weil wish to see. GENERAL JOHN COCHRAXE, the great liberal war horse, was of the opinion that the nomivation of General Hayes was the resulc of a com- bination between the Morton and Conkling wing of the administration party; it might be certainly inferred that it meant u continuance of the Grant réyime. One ‘a8 cortain, and that was that belore Governor es could induce the liberals to support him he would huve to come out flat fooied and announce that he had neither part, nor parcel, sympathy or afttiiauion io or with General Grant’s administration, The liberal movemont meant reform, and what reform could be expected from Grant or his tools, Morton and Conk lung? 11 was evident trom General Cochrane's manner that the liberals did not mean to be sould out likea parcel of sheep. A PRESIDENT OF A BLAINE CLUB. General Conway, president of the Blaine Clab ot Buf- falo, Y., Was present duringdhe greater part of the anterview with General Cochrane, und he was even more emphatic than Cochrane in announcing that un- less Governor Huyes disclaimed ull sympathy or con- nection with Grant's administration be would not only Jose the support ofthe liberals, which amounted to 260,000 votes, but he would also have to encounter the apathy of the anti-Grant republicans—a formidable ele- ment and one which would not bo. satistied with any- ‘thing but a tair and square opposition to the miquitics of the present wdmintatration, “I tell you, sir,” said he, “that unless Governor Hayes doos as 1 have indi- cated there will be a fearful amount of lukewarmness perceptible in heavy republican counties of Western New York.” GENERAL LOGAN'S ViKWs. General Jonn A. Logan was sutisticd with tho result, and thought the ticket a aplendid one. Of course Gov- ernor Hayes wus not bis first choice, but now that he was nominated he was for him. As he was not in tho combination he coula not tell what means had been used to produce the final result Ali he kuew was that {t bad been produced, and he was satiafled, DON CAMBKON’S INFLUENCE. A prominent gentleman of the Pennsylvania delega- tion informed us that it was owing to Don Ci u's influence that l’ennsylvania held on to Hartran{t so Jong, and possibly this was the way that ho thought it would best serve the interests of bis master and the ad- ministration, MR. HALSTED SRRENADED, In response toa serenade last night, Mr. Halsted said :— “Gentlemen, perhaps I shall not be mistuken if [ussumo that you came to see what is thought at this cor of the nominations for the Presidency and Vice Presi dency made in this city to-day. I might briefly say to you that we will tell you all about it im to-mor- row’s i But I will tell you now. lt ts known to those to whom tne subject is of interest that we have been of opinion that the Cincinnatl Convention could have done better than it bas done, T am satisfied with and proud of tbo record we have made in the urgency of the excellence of the candi- dacy ot Bristow. Looking over all that we havo said ot him as best representative man of his Me we have nothing to take back or quality, thought Inst night he was the better man and [tuink so to-night But in the nomimation of Hayes the republican party escaped by a narrow margin extreme disasier, Hayes was esteemed sale. Ho had not been under fife, except during the war. There were no secret stories of fixed ammunition to be used against bim. Nobody hated him, Negative qualitios are the great virtues of politicians, Hayes is a man of happy fortunes, He hasa lucky siar, and it is uo- likely that the Convention at 5t. Louis will present a candidate whose name will possess superior attractions to the people of Obio wo that of R. B. Hayes. The democratic party boasts its solid South, which is an admission, if not am asseruon, of the supremacy of the Southern Coniederacy in the party, 1am in favor ot the nation, of the United States; and [ am giad the republicans have made » nomination that Bot absolutely compel citizens to turn their eyes to St. Louis. [am frev wo say | tnink we are bet. | ter off at home than we shall be there, it is assumed, of can that when one is opposed to the candidacy of aw citizen for the Presidency that he is a personal euewy of the candidate, [tis personal enmity to doubt that any man whose friends have the Presidential fever about bim, isim the highest degree qualified for the office, and indeed superior to all the rest of mankind. Now, I have held that there was a vetter man for the Presidency toan the favorite son of Oh But | have BK. Hayes; on the contrary, | have kepta out over him on account of un old -potsonal regard jor nim. We deured to protect him from the iosidious influences of excessive fiat- tery. Hayes will be a good candidate. We had him in tervies questivn, and by rly. Lremember, whea he came hom South Mountain, be was asked to at- ig to get the citizer out of the draft. and, I may say, , from his point of meeting, meoting by saying tl view, the thing to do was not to get tho ward out of tho draft, but to get the quota of the ward into the army.

Cisctxwatt, Jane 17, 1876, The nomination of Governor Hayes, while it has failed vo cali forth any cathusiasm, appears to have given a great satisfaction to the better classes of citi- zens ot both parties be Governor Hayes 1s conceded to beu gentieman of spotiess character, although of no marked ability. He has been a practising lawyer here for meny years, and at one time held an office similar to that of our Corporation Counsel, but he never rose to any distinction at the Obio Bar. The satistac- tion felt by the citizens of Uhio who know him best arises from the fact that he is a genticman and an honest man, and that if | he should happen to ve elected he will be a great im- provement on the present admipistrution. In a con- versation to-day, at the Grand Hotel, a prominent democrat, who has held high oifico in the State, said the only doubt as to Governor Hayos reforming the repub- lican administration, should he become President, would arise from the fear that he would not have firm- ness euough or political sagacity enough to resist the efforts that would be made to keep up the existing order of things in the party. General Burnett, of the New York Reiorm Club, before he left here to-day said that while he deeply regretted the defeat of Bris- tow, he was satisfied that Governor’ Hayes was @ candidate worthy the support of all honest republicans, and that he felt quite confident that proper influences would surround and control Governor Hayes snould he be elected President. Senator Fenton left tast night, thoroughly disgusted with the result of the Convention, The ex-Senator and his confidential fol- lowers had entered into a contract to nominate Mr, Blaine, and all their efforts were directed to that single point; it was their making or their breaking; if Blaine had been nominated and elected they would have pushed the present federal officials in New York from their stools aud have taken their places, Mr. Waldo Hutchings, tho gallant General John Cochrane, General Merritt, Genoral Palmer, the ex-United States Appraiser in New York, and the rest of Senator Fenton’s forces all labored faithfully for Blaine, and it was this knowledye that prevented the ex-Sweaker [roi obtain- ing a larger New York vote. When the crias came the anti-Custom House republicans were represented by such politicians a8 Senator Roberts and Speaker Husted, ex-Police Commissioner Disbecker, Senator Woodin, who had no sympathy with Senator Fenton and his schemes, but simply desired the defeat of Conkling and get their rising star, William A. Wheeler, on the ticket, The triumph was theirs most distinctly ; it will be remembered that Senator Robertson and Speaker Husted went to Columbus to see Governor Hayes bofore they came to the Conven- tion, and it is now no secret that the ob- ject of their visit was to encourage the Governor's candidacy and to arrange with him for the nomination of William A. Wheeler on the ticket with bim it he should be successful, The Obio delegation, under Gov- ernor Hayes’ direction, took up Mr. Wheeier's cause as soon as their candidate was nominated, and General | Arthur, Mr, Willian Orton, Mr, Cornell, Colonel Schuy- ler Crosby and the other Conkling ieaders saw at once the expediency of falling ito line with the Wheeler movement and dropping Mr. Woodiord, THE NKW YORK SITUATION may therefore be summed up as tollows:—The Conk- Ing republicans are disappointed with the generul regult, fre at having defeated Blaine, because of tho Fenton intrigue, satisfied with Governor Hayes and dissatisiled with Whevler. The anti-Conkling re- pubiicans, exclusive of the Fenton liberals, ure tri- umphant and rejoicing over the almost certain nomina- tion of Senator Robertson, of Westchester, for Gov- ernor. Tho Fenton liberals are dissatiatied with overy- thing and everybody. THR FINANCIAL PLANK in the platform has given great uelight to the demo- crats here, They say the repuolicans have come on to the democratic platform und given up their 1879 resumption experiment. The muority report on the financial plank, which ts not published in tho newspapers of Friday last, and tho speech of Governor Davis, of Texas, by whom it was reported, make this point morcclear. Governor Davis’ minority report declared that the party stands by the Resumption act, to which it is pledged. In his speech supporting his report Governor Davis declared that the majority of the committee had abandoned the Resumption act, falsitied their pledges and gone back to the position thoy occupied eight years agu; making new pledges and promises which meant noth nd which the people, atter this breach of faith, would not believe, It is said that the financial plank was inserted so as to catch, or at least not to ‘drive away, the Western golt money republicans in the October elections. Tbe democrais now ciaim that the republicans have abandoned tho finaneial issuo 10 the campaign through this effort to straddle the money question, and that now the battle can be fought on the reiorm issue pure aud simple. I¢ is held by the Ohio democracy that the nomination of Governor Hayes by the repub- licans makos it desifable tnat the democrats should take General Hancock as their candidate, and they ire to carry Western October elections with him by sweeping majoritics. They believe it is now neces- eary: She-soldiers’ vote, asthe financial issue hag been straddled by the republicans, GOOD TELEGRAPH WORK. Tho Western Union Telegraph Company deserves especial credit for the admirable manner in which tuo heavy work of the Convention has been dose. The moat ample facilities for writing were afforded to mem- bers of the preas. All the business, enormous as it was in bulk, was despatched without contusion or de- lay, and the long despatches trom New York for the Cincinnati edition of the Herald were promptly de- livered at this end of the line, while the full Associated Pross reports and hundreds of special reports were being transmitted from hero to other points, The amount of work done was sur- prising, aswell as the accuracy with which it was done; but the telegraph operators were faithtal at their posts for eighteen hours out of twonty-four, und their eMeciency and endurance were alike surprising. The work was superintended by General Stager in person, the General Superintendent of the lines. A TRLEGRAM PROM SECRETARY BRISTOW. Hon.

Davia BATIFICATION MEETING AT CINCINNAT!, Cixcrxxatt, June 17, 1876, At the ratification meeting last night Gencral Jou A. Hartay, of Kentucky, said:— Words fail to express my thanks for the very kind welcome which you have given me on this occasion. [have not come here to-nigttt for the purpose of mak- ing you any lengthy address Within less than an hour after the Convention closed the deliberations of the day and after the Kentucky delegation bad cast its entire yotu for Rutherford B. Hayes, the spirit of the delegates in that Convention, and especially those of Kentucky, was indicated by the fact that we held in our headquarters a Hayes ratification meeting and more speeches wore made here to-night, (Loud cneers.) I knowthat when Kentucky cast its vote for Governor Hayes that we were carrying out the wishos of the distinguished man whose name we prosented to that Convention. After I had returned to the hotel I found there a despatch from Washington city addressed to myself, which I beg leave to read to you as showing where General Bristow will stand in this campaign:— Mr. Branscomar, of Missouri, was the next speaker and was foliowed by Hon. J. P, Scneyex, of Indiana, Hon. Witttam Outon, of New York, was next intro- ‘Mr. Chairman and gen- temen—if 1 have any claim to your consideration whatever, it 1s in what I am able to do rather than any- thing | can fitly say, and yet, in view of the humbie part that | bave taken m the proceedings of the National Republican Convention sitting in this city for deny myself the the lest privilege, with you int ey of Cincian three days, 1 cannot such esteom (Cocers ) ge a duty devolving upon the York, Of assisting to present and wu pon Yention the cousideration of the claims of the Hon. . of oar State, (Applause) We were the delegates of other States, who nied the claims of other geutiemen entitied also to favorable consider: and atter a struggic without & paralle in the nistory of national conventions we have finished the work, as I conceive, wisely and well; nod I trust that the verdict of the peopie in November next a be that which you are here to ratily to-nignt,’” (Cheers, ' Richarp Surta, of the Gazette, was introduced snd suid:—"'lt is hardly to be expected that you will care to hear much from me.

I have thought Peg eee | Brie tow would catch a thief and put him ipto the Peai- tentiary while most men would be putting om their boots, and that is the reason why J was for Secretary Bristow. But I take pleasure im saying that 1 am comiortable with Governor Hayes— (cheers)—and Secretary Bristow 1s a young meno and 1880 is not faraway. (Loud cheers.) I have known Governor Hayes pretty well, He is a square, upright, conscientious man that will or permit anything to be done that wiil mak ost man ashamed. (Cheers) It will afford reut deal of pleasure to work for hin just as [| should have worked for Secretary Bristow it he had been the nom inee of the Convention—(cheers)—and I have no dowvt at all that all these young men and our respectable cite ixens who come here and joined this Bristow Club will now be members of the Hayes Club, and that we shall all move forward, shoulder to shoulder, and achi a glorious victory in November.” (Cheers. ) The Cuaimaan next ir troduced Governor Howard, of Michigan, who came forward ou his crutches aud took bis seat at the fropt of the stage. He was received: with the loudest demonstrations of applause, Governor Howard wus lollowed by lover H. Clarke, a leading colored citizen of Cincinnati, After the adjournment the baod und a large number of citizens went to the Gibson Hou: ud serenaded the Massachusetts delegation. None of them were resent; but Governor Van Zandt, of Rhode sland, spoke as follows:—“I am pleased to meet you here to-night, and pleased to say that the litle delegation of which { was chairman in your Conven- tion helped to achieve this great and glorious victory. We gave our votes tor your loyal war Governor, and I shall return to Rhode [slaad to-morrow full of enough to last the whole trip, Wo intend to sai this campaizn under that good old adage about ‘mak- jug Hayes while the sun shines,’ and roll up such a majority tor you in New England as you never saw or heard of betore, Tois is because we havea pure man and a patriotic ticket I do not think there wasa single man’s name before the Convention which could carry greater weight and strength with the people of the whole country than that of your Governor Hayes.” GENERAL SATISFACTION OF THE REPUBLICANS WITH THE CINCINNATI NOMINATIONS—WHA2 THE DEMOCEATS THINK ABOUT IT—A DIFFI- CULTY WITH THE WESTERN DEMOCRATS Eg PECTED—THE PRESIDENT’S GEEETNG @® HAYES. Wasuixctoy, June 17, 187% The result at Cincinnati and the approaching Cone vention at St, Lot iro the two topics of conversation with pretty noarly every one in Washington. The rain storm to-night prevented a ratification meeting he at which the republican’State orgaviza- tions, representing ull portions of the country, were to have taken part. There is no dissembling in the unanimity of the republicans over the result at Uin- ctonati. The rank and file, the ins and outs, the re- formers, the liberals; in short, all factions and wings of the party, express unequivocal satisfaction with Hayes and Wheeler. The republicans boast that the party has not been go compact and strong in five years as it is to-day. They claim their ability to carry North and South Carolina, Mississippi, and possibly Louts- java among the Southern States Ben Bill, of Georgia, says the nomination at Cincinnati removes all sectional asperity trom the Presidential campaign, It 1 this fact which induces the republicans to thial they can carry the Seuthern States above pamed, Tho democrats continue puzzled as to who would be their best candidate te oppose Hayes with. ‘The prevailing feeling is that their campaign should be made upon the pro. gramme of a united Southern vote, added to the votes of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California and Oregon; bus this calculation is disturbed by the appre.” hension that Hayes may carry several of the Southers States, Had Blaine been nominated this programme would have been urged as feasible, especially if Blaine were opposed with Hancock, who would have been neces: sary to neutralize Biaine’s popularity on the war issue Had Bristow been nominated Tilden would have bees his natural opponent on the reform issue. Apprehen sion is felt lest the Western democrats should got dem» perate and insist on nominating Hendricks, ‘TUN WESTERN RLEMENT 1n pational politics is #o domineering that it may insist upon its most popular man. In other quartora the chances of Judge Davis are regarded as strengthened by the Cincinnati nomination, as he is deemed ca- pavle of getting all of the democratic vote, Eust and West, and a share of such of the old line whigs as bo- lieve the mission of the republican party accomplished, THB PRESIDENT TO GOVERNOR HAYES, % President Grant sont the following telegram to Gov- ‘ernor Hayes immediately upon the réceipt of the sews of the Cincinnati nominations :— Execotive Mansion, Wasummoton, D.

U. & GRANT, THE PRESS ON THE NOMINATIONS, Cincixxatt, June 17, 1876, Congratulations from all parts of the country still continue to come to members of the late Convention over the nomination of Hayes and Wheeler. The papers discuss the result at length, The Gaselte says, tn an editorial :— “The Convention has nominated a candidate of high character, of spotiess integrity, of fine culture and abilities, who will need no defensive campaign in his behalf; who 1s worthy the confidence of the country and who will elevate the character of the administra. tion, With him for the standard bearer the victory of the republican party is athiog which we can work for with courage and sanguine hope.” Jn another editorial the Gazette says :— “With Hayes as President and Bristow at the head of the Treasury Department—with a firm and honest President and a fearless, honest and aggressive Secre- tary—thieves will find no abiding place outside of tl penitentiary, the traders in political patronage will/be banished, honest men will come to the front, and im this centennial year honesty, integrity, morality and reform will be inscribed upon the national banner; railroad rings, whiskey rings, Treasury rings, office brokers’ rings and duwreputabie rings of every kind have beou voted down, and we have aticket aud a platform around which all honest men cun rally, Victory isin the air, and we hazard nothing in predicting a rauication im November of the acts of tho Convention that closed its , and the action of which will be mem- rable in the political history of the United States.” “fhe republican y congratulated upon the nomination of vem, as an oscape irom the ‘skele- ton clutch,’ as Colonel Ingersoll would say, of Blaine, They have not made tho strongest nomination possi- b.e, but, perhaps, the best of which the "ty 18 capa- ble, They huve pot made victory sure, bat they have socured what Governor Hayes said in bis remarks te the republican conference at Columbus, after his nomination last swipmer, ing chance to wim’ Hayes ‘There has been scant justice dove Hayes iu his position as a candidate.
