The former expressed the satalle• views in his message.and the l i atterin its platform and yet. the wiliest amon the Republi can leaders were not inithe least disturb ed. by them. Hayes, as is Well - knosku, owes his nomination. to' a compromise between Conklin, MOrton and Hartranft. Immediately after his nomination he has tened to r , concile. the defeated follOwers . nf Blaine by an exuberant telegraphic dispatch' to the latter, and if any thing can increase the glee with which' Mr. iliiyes' letter akf acclltance. :has filled these Republican leaders and 'there ad herents, it must he the eitrerue . naivety with which some - .:of', the ind'eperident' friends of retirm, - whose integrity ex cludes the suspicion of hypocrisy, took the assurance of .
