The British Press ON the Baltimore
Ticket.
The London Times this morning in an edito-
rial upon the nomination of Greeley saws
"Never was there exhibited more fragrant in
stance of party decentralization. The Demo-
cratic party swallowed their opponents plat
form and candidates, confessing they had none
as their own to present. President Grant du-
ring four years has committed no irremediable
blunder, and in saying this we give him but
faint praise. Nobody believes Greeley could be
President of the United States for four months
without making some terrible mistakes. The
discretion, prudence and temper requsit for
the proper performance of the functions of
President of the United States are all wanting
Greeley. We cannot believe the American pe0-
pie will elect q man so deficient in every mag
istrate quality"
