Tho action of the political convention in Oiiio yesterday, yester-day, is variously commented upon by thejournals here to day. The Times regards the proceedings proceed-ings of the democratic convention as a surrender to the rag baby, end says Ening's nomination cannot be regarded as a atrong one. After reviewing re-viewing bis career and exploding bia 00 called popularity with greenback-ers, greenback-ers, the Times says it is now to tbe 1 interest ofTilden that the representative represen-tative of Thurrnan should not carry Ohio. With these difficulties to contend con-tend with, it is not loo much to eay that Ewing's prospects in the October election are gloomy. The green-baokers green-baokers refused the bait which was undoubtedly intended lor them in the nomination of Ewing. The Sua calls the result a surprise and has no comment. The World says if Ewing cau com-I com-I fortably eland upon the platform I adopted tho ardor ofEwing'a senti-i senti-i meuls upon questions of tinauee must j havo been much mitigated eiuce bo I last gave formal uiteraoee to mem. It is satisfactory to remark that thai familiar bogy of the west, Tildtn, does not in any way appear as an actor in the contest within the convention; at least, ujt on the upper side of lhat contest. The Herald, oddly enough, thinks the democrats of Ohio have made the strongest nomination possible under tbe circumstances; ihe one nomination nomina-tion which could have any chance of success aeainat Ftmtpr. tho nmmiar ! republican candidate. The fact lhat , the greenback convention at Colum-I Colum-I bus nominated separate tickets : amounts to nothing. Greenbackera have not 'the slightest chance ul electing the ticket they havo nomi-i nomi-i nated, and in the progress of the can-jvass can-jvass tbeir ranks and tile will desert to 'Ewing, who is aa alrenuous a green-. green-. backer as any of them. |
