A Bad Eomiuation-Eo Enthusiasm

The Radical papars effect TO think that
the nomination Of Seymour and Blair is
weak one. They affect to believe that
it has fallen like wet blanket upon the
party. They affect to regret that the
Convention did not put strong ticket
in the field headed by Chase, or, in fact,
anybody but Seymour, who is so unpopu-
lar that he will not press Grant closely |!
The New York Times (RadicaD, of the
10th inst, told its readers, in dozen
different paragraphs, that the nomina-
tons had fallen still-born--that they
excited no enthusiasm-that the Democ-
racy everywhere were dissatisfied with
them!
