HOW TIE TICKET IS RECEIVED.
oedJent servant,
S. Fl. MArLETTE.

The following Admirable article is
from. the New York Tribune of the Sd
of June:
The nominations of Grant and Colfax
have been welcomed throughout the whole
! land with an enthusiasm even exceeding
that amidst which they We're presented BY
the Convention. Not ripple of personal
complaint from the defeated candidates or
! their friends, nor faint of local dis>atisfac-
| ton from the States competing for the nom
nation to the e-Presidency, dis,urbs the
| harmony with which politicians, the people
and the press everywhere indrrse the work
! done at hicago. While the names Of Grant
and Colfax strengthen and supplement each
other. and probably no other name sus-
Cested would have been as satisfactory to
General Grant as that of Mr.. Colfax, vet Mr..
I COlfax comes upon the ticket as independ-
emily and entirely on his own merits as his
invincible' colleague. Only rare and pc
euliar fitness and strength in the men could
have so silently overborne all geographical
considerations and induced the nomination
I Of candidates from the two adjoining States
of Illinois and Indiana, both of which COM
sined have an electoral vote less than New
York, and either of which would have been
safe for the Republican ticket whoever had
been chosen. Indeed, the West felt that il
could not atfOrdto ask for both candidates
and only on condition that the East, Center,
South. and Pacific Coast should previously
indicate toifaX as the choice could his own
section, in justice to the whole country, ae-
eept him. We therefore fad that out of
the 100 votes cast by the States between
Indiana and the Plains, in which Mr.~Col-
fax is perhaps more popular than in any
other section of the Cuion, be got but. Is,
until the preferences of other sections was
clearly made known. When his nominal
ton by the East was assured. the North
West cast for him its solid vote. The tabled
gallanry Of the French troops, who politely
insisted that the English should FIRE first,
would not have been, ii true, more graceful |
ly courteous than the attitude of the West |
in accepting the inevitable honor of the whole |
ticket. 1t was the sentiment of the Con-
vention, and has been the sense of the peo-
pie, that neither Grant nor Colfax was
man in whose history or reputation any
State could claim title. Grant-born in
Ohio. educated at West Point, and lifted
into greatness by his military achievements
n Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and
irg inia-presents a national career Of
which his residence in Illinois is the merest
accident. Mr.. Colfax, though more identi
led with the politics and men of his State
han Grant, has a more thoroughly national
'areer and popularity than any other civilian
Who could have been chosen. His nomina-
ION WAS greeted as enthusiast icaily by hun
Ireds of thousands in New York and Mas r
achusetts as IN his own State. New York !
moves TO make it unanimous, and bluff Ben
Wade declares it is well deserved. The guns :.
( California echo those of Maine in con-
though neither State voted for v
in in Convention. The East the South, v
nd the Pacific States are as ardent for the
chet as Illinois and Indiana. Even the
aore prominent among the lights of the II
Democratic press and party confess that it T
the very best that could have been made.
10 sooner is the ticket nominated and the 4.
latform adopted than from every point in u
le political horizon the clouds which had d
altered at the failure of i'm parchment
reak, and the skies brighten. Few seem
isposed to question that the names and I"
rinciples thus presented will be overwhelm- 5
.sly Endorsed BY the votes of nearly all, if
OF absolutely all, the States in the Union. =,
ven the recusant Senators hasten to an =
ounce their fealty to the ticket and the u
atform, in the hope thus to glide back un- e,
,serred amid the general congratulations,
nvictions of right and opinions of law L
d not change with every trifiing verbal al ell
ration in the form OF the oath they were ~
lder. The Satanic press hastens in vain
weaken the ticket by offensive and dam
ing praise. The press whose function it re
like Blondin. to hang balancing and M
anacled over the chasm which divides
18th from error and right from crime. IN &C
sket their feet and hurry to land on the Gu
.ither side. i AL -
