THE NOMINEES AND THEIR FRIENDS.
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-To. night
Gen. Grant WIS informed of his nomi-
nation as the Republican candidate for
the Presidency by the President OF the
Chicago Convention. A large number
| of persons, many in prominent public
positions, including Congressman and
Secretary Stanton, rendered their con-
gratulations.
Speaker Colfax was informed of his
nomination, and this evening received
the congratulations of many friends,
his parlors being thronged by Senators,
Representatives and others; among the
callers were members of Gen. Grants
staff. The nominees will be serenaded
after they shall have been formally
informed OF their nominations.
OPINION OF THE HERALD.
NEW YoRK, May Speaking of the
nominations made yesterday, the Her
aid says Grant is stronger than his
party, and ColtaX Is the most popular
man of his party, and the Republican
ticket is a strong one.
The Herald says the platform is a
work of some Ingenuity. Like an old
campaigner, the Convention moves
with bold step where the ground is
found, but treads cautiously and GIN
Rerly over the boggy places.
OPINION OF THE COMMERCIAL.
The Commercial supports the ticket,
regarding it as insuring victory in ad-
vance; expresses qualification over the
defeat of Fenton, condemns the second
and eighth articles of the platform, but
cordially approves the balance thereof.
OPINION OF THE TIMES.
The Times says the people have faith
in Grant, and the selection of Colfax is
eminently judicious.
The Times, while generally approving
the Platform, thinks as matter OF
policy not less than of proprtety, the
whole subject of impeachment should
have been avoided.
OPINION OF THE WORLD.
The World says the ticket would
have been strong one five months
ago. 1t is completely Western, and
wholly Radical. Grant is without
popular qualities, but successful mill
tary career hides multitude of defects.
Colfax is, perhaps the most popular
man in his party. On the whole, the
ticket is not a strong one.
OPINION OF THE TRIBUNE.
Speaking of the nominations yester-
day, the Tfibune predicts that Grants
electoral and popular msjorities will
exceed those of Lincoln's over Nc
CIellan. 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 n speedy
restoration to its former prosperity and
more than its former fraternity.
OPINION OF THE POST.
Speaking of the nominations yester-
day, the Post eulogizes the ticket and
says OF the resolutions whatever faults
RrfHiaiSrn MIGHT 6nfpRh In thl
language or form of some of them,
they are as whole, explicit and sat
isfactory in the declaration of the gen.
eral sense of justice as applied to the
living questions of the day.
OPINION OF THE SUN.
In speaking of the nominations yes
terday, the Sun says the Chicago ticket
is n strong one and will receive the en-
thusiastic support of the Republicans
