Mr. Humphreys, of Wisconsin, said he wanted
Grant and disliked to see him beaten. He believed
the anti-Grant force at Chicago much in the
nature of machine as anything could be. Grant
had been beaten by machine, but then Garfield Is

WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
Senator Ingalls, said II am very we'll satisfied
with the nomination. The choice believe is wise
and strong one l think the country will respond
favOrably. Garfield is man of scholarship of good
sense, and of solid convictions. The Convention
was remarkable enc, and the choice still moro
so. Perhaps this is the first time in the history Of
the county where member of the House, a

WISE NOMINATION..
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, said: II was O Grant
man first, last and all the time but like this
nomination. l believe it is wise and q
strong one, and one on which the entire
Republican party can unite. The Grant men will
be the last to sour on a candidate Remember
what our own storrs said, that when all tho others
had given up the fight the Grant cohorts would be
found by their camp fires"
Mr. Hawk, of Illinois, said he felt pleased with
the nomination. whatever my personal prefer
once may have been at first and down to the
break, 1 have no hesitation In saying
that think the choice is very
good and very strong one. Garfield is man Of
known power. of extraordinary parts and Of great
popularity personally. He will run we'll, and will
carry every Northern State that could be carried by
any Republican"
DISAPPOINTED DEMOCRATS.

bring out the full Republican vote In New-York, as

1t is not unfair to say that among many Of the
Grant men, as we'll among all the Sherman and
Blaine men, the feeling is one Of relief that in all
probability, the prospects of third term candidate
for the Presidency are eliminated from the future
of American politics.
