Of the nominations at Chicago. r
The Tribune predicts Grants electoral
and popular msjorities will exceed those
of Lincoln over Mcclellan. HE will
receive more votes from the reconstructed
rebels than any other man in the country,
Under the auspices of Grant and Colfax
our country is destined to achieve d
speedy restoration to its former pros.

ternity." a..t., ~ Pr sgF.
Of nominations made yesterday,
the Herald says Grant is stronger than
his party, and Colfax is the most popular
man in the party, and that the Repub-
lican ticket is strong one. ''at
The Times says the people have faith
in Grant, and the selection of Colfax is
eminently judicious. e@i ss r
The Herald says: The ticket would
have been as strong five months ago,
ItAis completely Western and wholly
Radical, and Grant is without popular
qualities, but successful military
com mander, which hides multitude Of
defects. Colfax is perhaps the most
popular man 10 the party. .onthe whole,
the ticket is not strong one" 'a-f ~

their terms. This ignores the question really
at issue, which is whatthese terms are.
