The Democratie National Convention whioh met at St. Louis on Tuesday completed its labors on Thursday. lts work was done deliberately and well. Difference8 of opiniou existed upon the platform and caudidate, and Demoorats have a right to differ pending tke aotion of a convention, but the decisión once reacked it was unanimously ooncurred in. Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, was nominated ou Wednesday afternoon, on the second ballot. The two ballot taken atood : lat. 2d. Tildeu, 403 1-2 508 Hendricks, 103 1-2 84 Hancock, 96 61 Allon, 66 M Bayard, 31 11 Parker, 18 18 Thurman, 3 2 Total vote, 738 , necessary to a choice ander the two-thirds rule, 492. On motion, the nomination was mado unanimous. Samuel J. Tilden was bora at New Lebanon, New York, in 1814, and is now in the sixty-third year of his age His oareer as a lawyer, as a writer on finanoial and political questions, and a legislator is well known. But especially so is his assault upon and destruction of the rings of thieves which were fattening upon the city and State of New York. Elected Governor in 1874 his administration has been a wholesome one, and has resulted in a great reduction of taxation and in securing the confidence of the masses throughout the country. He was a War Demoorat from the day the first gun was fired upon Sumter until the rebellion was a thing of the past. His messages and speeches have proved him a master of the sub jeoi of finance and taxation ; and hones' money, economical governraent, anc thorough reform in all departments fine in him their champion. His name is a sufficient platform, and his known opinions will be a sufficient interpretation o the good and sound platform upon whioh he was placed by the convention. We congratúlate the Democracy of the State and nation on his selection, and rejoice in the conviction that after the fourth of March next a President will have a home in the White House who having dared to confront and put dow evil doers in his own party, will administer the gfmeral government on oorreot principies. Thomas A. Hendricks, now Govornor of Indiana, was nominated for VicePresident (the vote not being.known to us at this Gov. Hendricks is a native of Ohio, being bom in September 1819. He is one of ablest and purest men in the country, and his experience has been large both in legislative and exeoutive offices. Sis years service in the Senate of the United States gave him a reputation broad as the Union. His financial views, though not so pronounced as those of Mr. Tilden, give assuranec that he is neither an inflationists nor a soft-money man. He believes in gold and silver as the basis of a sound currency, and opposes the increase or perpetuation of the irredeemable greenback. Tilden and Hendricks : a capita) ticket. Let Democrats, Liberáis, and Reformers, in Michigan and throughout the Union, rally to its supyort. Sad, vekt sad news comes to us all the way from Washington. Distinguished and eminent physicians of the old school, "regulars" of the regulars, pharisees of the pharisees, have been conspiring, consorting, and advising with ostracised homoepaths in the sickchamber and at the bedside of ex Speaker Blaine, and the same wires have been oompelled to be their messengers and teil their sharae throughout the land. What shall polish up the tarnished name of honor of the Michigan State Medical Society? Who will mend the ravished code of ethics of the American Medioal Association? We pause for a r?ply. mm Gov. Hayes, the Eepublican candidato for President, visited his old home at Fremont, Ohio, a few days ago, and was enthusiastically received by his fellow citizens of all parties. He made a speech in excellent taste, saying some good things in a modest and sensible way. The following sentences indícate that he isn't the least in doubt of the way and why of his nomination : " I understand very well that it was not by reason of ability or talents that I was chosen. Thero were accidents and contingenoies that caused this result." It is well to know the character of one's foundation, and Mr. Hayes seems at no loss to discover and appreciate it. The news of the nomination of Tilden was received too late for a ratification meeting Wednesday evening, but gave great joy to the Demócrata of this city. The satisfaction displayed and enthusiasm manifested were in great contrast to the " cold comfort " with which the nomination of Huyes was received by the Republicans. A rousing rutification meeting was held last evening. The ball is rolling. In 1872, Gen. John A. Dix, the strongest candidate the New York Republicans could put in the field, was elected Governor of that State by a majority of 53,451. In 1874 Samuel J. Tilden beat the same John A. Dix by a majority of 53,315. In the face of these figures will any Republican venture a prediction that Tilden' will not oarry New York over Hayes P Hon. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, was temporary Chairman of the St. Louis Convention, and Gen. John A. McClernand, of Illinois, permanent president. _ THE Dexter Deuiocrats ratify to-mortow eventng. ,
