LETTER From WISUINGTON.

WASHINGTON, JUNE It'll, 1872.
| To the Editor Of the Jonrna:
REJOICING OVER THE NOMINATIONS.
This seems more like the 4th of July than
the 1th of June. Cannon are booming, bands
are playing and everybody seems to be full OF
enthusiasm. Democracy is at decided dis
count and democrats are scarce.
HENRY WILSON.
| Henry Wilson adds great strength to a
ticket which could hardly be made stronger
than it is by the name of Grant, No man il
The republican party could have been selected
as Vice President who would have brought tC
the support of the ticket SO many elements O
strength as Senator Wilson, for he is man
Of and from the people, and the masses who
earn their bread by the sweat of the brow,
will vote for him. Besides this, that most
pow erful class OF people, tie newspaper fra
ternity, will exert very great influence in his
behalf because he has recognized their lights
and made it point to take pains to explain
matters of legislation which they did not
understand, and has been frequent visitor in
Newspaper Row" They claim, and with
much plausblity, that it was their nomina-
ton; that is to say, that what they wrote and
said in Wilson's favor turned the balance
against Coltax, who is not as popular with the
press.
GRANT AND WmsoS-SuMNER.
1t seems now moral certainty that Grant
and Wilson will be elected by an overwhelm
ing popular vote. The trite saying; "Whom
the Gods would destroy, they first make mad
seems applicable to Senator Summers case.
His madness against Grant has led him to
make a most dastardly and outrageous attack
upon him, far beneath the dignity of man
like Sumner, and has had the effect to rally to
the standard of the President people who
would otherwise have been Indifferent specta-
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-06-11

The ratification meetings of the Grant
and Wilson ticket have spread far and wide
over the country. New Orleans answers
TO Boston and San Francisco to New York
The enthusiasm over the name of Grant is
even greater than in 1868. The renewal
of the history of his grand victories re-
kindles the feeling with which they first
reioiced the nation, and brings into active
sympathy with the ticket the great mass
of men and women who gave blood,
treasure and prayers for the salvation OF
the MON in our time of need and trial.

CHANGE OF COLLECTOR

There is soon to be change in the Collect

through the influence of Senator Logan. No
charges are brought against Mr.. Mclean, the
present incumbent, but there is feeling that
some one more intimately and not so recently
connected with the interests of Chicago, ought
to have the place; that is to say, the leading
