The Louisville Journal tmourns
over the fact that the New York
Times, Commercial AdUertiser, Spring
field Republican, Buffalo Commercial
and other Conservative Republican
organs, all indorse the Chicago nOmi-
nees. and lugubriously concludes hal
for the sake of success the party will
remain unbroken and unanimous.
There are certainly grave grounds for
the JouraGFs fears aRd conclusions.
The unanimity with which Grant is
now supported by all having afilia-
tions with the Republican party, is
only equalled by the unanimity with
which his nomination in the Con-
v~ention was marked. Whatever local
or personal differences NAV exist, they
present no obstacle to the enthusiast
tic support of the great chieftain.
At the late State election in Cali
fornia many journals belted the regu-
lar Republican candidate, and sup
ported a nominee of their own. Every
one of these has how run Grants
name up to its masthead, and with
the prestage Of that name the party
will be reunited and recover its
ascendancy. What is true of Cali
fornia is true of the Eastern States.
Journals which, for various reasons,
have stood aloof, of late, from the
party, or been inclined to go over into
the Democratic camp, are all return
ing, while the great mass of those who
have chafed and grown dissatisfied,
under extreme leaders, express great
satisfaction that the latter were ignor-
ed at Chicago, and are now going to
work with a will for the ticket.
There is a feeling of confidence. and
assurance that moderate and wise
counsels are hereafter to prevail in
the party, and the fact hat General
Grant represents the Conservative
elements in the organization is sufi-
cient in itself to rally them to his
support.
Furthermore, no matter who may
be the opposing candidate, we may
look for a general stampede from the
Democratic ranks. Seyenty-fve voters
of the Democratic persuasion came in
a body to a Republican caucus at Au-
burn, Maine, a few evenings since,
and announced their intention to
work aud vote with the Republican
party in the future In the town
elections held in Richmond County
last week, the Republicans increased
their vote 23S, while the Democratic
majority Of the whole county stood
100 to 1852 last year. General Ma
hone has taken the stump for Grant
and COlfax in Virginia, and his exam
pie will undoubtedly be followed by
many other ex-Confederates.
Clearly the Journal mourns not
without reason.
