dollar. The bank never fully recovered from the

dependent newspapers believed the republicans
would nominate him.

will be beaten That is settled. Adams was
their only chance, and not first rate chance
either.

The Herald considers all the proceedings as a
plain distrust of President Grant; considers the
platform sound the vote for Mr. Adams signiii-
car t. and of Mr.. Rice, says he is a gentleman and
a scholar, but the lsboring masses of Massachu-
sets think him Boston aristocrat and his cleo
ton may be deemed doubtful against the very
popular democratic ticket.
