As certain as Grant is nominated al

Ohio 10 October next. There is not ar

not invested in Grant stock--and there are

Amos Green. one of the Adams county
ills. delegates to the Springfield conven
ton. after his return to Quincy stated that
he thought the majority of the convention

1t does not appear that Mr.. Tilden car
count on anything in the south except
Kentucky and perhaps Missouri. These
two states have 81 votes. The rest of the
south has 222 votes. Add to these the
A of Ohio and the 81 anti Tilden votes oil
Pennsylvania and the 10 of Vermont, and
there are 297 anti Tilden votes leaving
only AL on the other side, or 81 less than
enough to nominate.

Des Moines Register: Ii is to Gen
Grant. gained as it has been. q victory
which is as bad as defeat. For any man
to gain state by such high-handed means
would be bad enough. For Gen. Grant,
standing rs spontaneous candidate, TO be
compelled to take or to be willing to ac-
methods would be humiliation. For him
TO be able to gain bis own state only By
by such methods is still worse.
Quincy Wing: We are glad to say tina
despite the intensity of feeling that pre-
vailed during the first days of the conven-
ton, for the most part the minority in the
end took its defeat ia admirable good
humor; nor is there the least doubt that
the republicans in oil parts of the state
will in little while settle down to perfect
harmony of feeling and unity of purpose.
however they may have been tossed by
the storm at Springfield,
Tew York Tribune: One vote out of q
delegation of twelve is all Justice Field
gets in California. Evidently he is not a
-favorite son." With such poor send off
from his own state. his friends must feel
little encouragement for setting him up as

legatee policy seems to be Justice Fields
best hold.
Evansville Courier: The Illinois repub-
licans might be reasonably called q
