ENGLAND.
LONDON, July 1.-THE London Times this
morning in an editorial upon the nomination of
Greeley says: Never was there exhibited a more
fragrant instance of party decentralization The
democrats swallowed their opponents platform
and candidates, confessing they had none of
their own present. President Grant during 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 four months without making
some terrible mistake. The discretion, prudence
and temper requisite Tor the proper performance
of functions OF president of the United States
are all wanting in Greeley. We cannot believe
the American people will elect man so def
Gent in every magisterial quality.
The News calls attention to the fact that Gree
ley was nominated at Baltimore on the first bal
lot, and at Cincinnati on the sixth, and reasons
from this that the democrats are more enthusi-
astic in his support than the liberal republicans
However, says the News, whatever may be the
result of the presidential election in America,
there will he no change in the relati )ns of Eng
land with that country.
The other London journals make no comments
upon the nomination.
