Show DAVIS AXD FAaKER- This is tho presidential ticket nomi-oonnated nomi-oonnated by the national Labor Reform convention. As a matter of speculative interest to politician., and in this country coun-try nearly all tho people arc politicians, we append the following notices of these nominations by influential Democratic Demo-cratic and Republican journals: From the Albany Times, Democrat. Tho most influential paper of the Democratic party in the southern part of Ohio, tho Cincinnati Enquirer, lias this significant sentence with regard to the national nominees of the Labor Reformers: "Davis and Darker isn't a bad ticket for the elements opposed to Grant to unite on." The liberal Republicans will certainly find these nominations very awkward obstacles in the field. It is too late to contemn tho labor reform element in our polities. poli-ties. It may be relied ujun, as we ha?o said before, to ca.st a considerable popular vote, and so, without tlie ghost ol a chance to pain an electoral ballot, it may have to hold in several Stales, as it did in (lie lust election of New Hampshire, the balance nl' power. From the Ilarrisburg litrit, Dan Whatever differences of opinion mny exist concerning portions of the platform plat-form of the national convention ol' In-bor In-bor Reformers at Cnlunibun, i( will Ik-universally Ik-universally conceded that they have presented a strong and ubln tk-ket for the high positions of President and vico-Prcsident. The Labor 1 1 dormers have disappointed their enemies and have exceeded the expeetaliotis of their friends in the wisdom of tli' ir choice. In the Hon. David Davis, of ho .ujneme court of the United .Stales; and the Hon. Joel Parker, the popular governor gover-nor of New Jersey, they have produced pro-duced candidates who are known throughout the country, and who enjoy tho confidence and respect of their fellow-citizens. Davis is a moderato Republican, Re-publican, to whom tli-.; eyes of many have long turned as the man on whom tho elements of opposition C3uld be rallied to overthrow tho present corrupt cor-rupt dynasty. From the Rochester JAmocrat, RuJ j This, is emphatically a kangaroo ticket, whether wo regard it in its personal per-sonal or- its political aspect-. Judge Davis is eminently respectable, no doubt; but in point of ability and character char-acter ho is a dwarf by tho side of governor gov-ernor Parker, and that without undue exaltation of the latter, either. In its political aspect, however, tho contrast is still more striking. The rear legs of the animal aro muoh more fully developed de-veloped and serviceable. Indeed, it is not too much to say that the party represented rep-resented by Parker is about all there is ofit, and that Davis Republicans are few and far between; and we doubt very much whethor there are enough of tho latter in any State to constitute a reputable oleotorallieket, a? the forearms fore-arms with which to reach the door of iho White houso. From the Rochester Chronicle, Rati Tho plotters of mischief, who arc looking to tho organizaiion of a party on tho purely personal issuo of opposition opposi-tion to President Grant, expect to form a tripartite alliance of Labor Reformers, Reform-ers, Conservative Republicans and Democrats; and if their programme is carried out tho Cincinnati convention will ratify this ticket, and tho Democratic Demo-cratic party will Call into lino that is, tho Conservative Republicans and the working-men are to afford the leader?, and tho Democracy the followers. From the Cincinnati Enquira; Dcni. Tho labor movement is beginniug at hist to assume definite f-hapc. It may not accomplish much in the present campaign, but it possosso-? formidable strength, and cannot b ignored by cither party. From the Sjin'ittfjield Rvpuhl'ftii, Rep. The Labor Reformers show a good deal of worldly wisdom by nominating judge David Davis, of Illinois and the supreme court, for president. The chances that ho will be elected do not seem very flattering at present, but no one can tell what may happen before tho other parties get through making nomination.--. From the Cleveland Ifcrald, Rad. The platform, agreeing in so unny respects with the principles of the Republican Re-publican party, will draw off to it many Republicans, and thus place the defeat of the Republican candidates among the possibilities. From the Boston Journal, Rad. The Columbus conventions are an intrusionout in-trusionout of timo and out of place. They may make somo mischief though we think they are hardly strong enough for that but to do any good, cither for themselves or others they cannot. From the Indianapolis ScntimL Dem. This is a ticket that can be elected i if it should have tho general support of tho oppononts of the administration, and there are no other two citizens who would command more of the respect and confidence of tho country for theso high offices than judge Davis and judge Parker. From the Chicago Tribune, Rad. The voters of the country are as free to vote that ticket as they are to vote aDy other. Bat the managers of this Labor parly do not intend anything of tho kind. They know they have no party, but they propose to put their candidates in nomination in advance, and then fccll short, for future delivery, the imaginary millions of votes they will boast of controlling. Froni tJie Chicaoo Evening Journal, Rad. j The hope of this Labor convention is that its platform and ticket will form the nucleus of a new party, to which i will rally all the political rug, tag, and bob-tails who have in common this! ono motto, "Anything lo be at GranL" |
