The World (Anti-Tllden, Democratic)says: If the
Democrats of the country and nation are not satls
fed with the result of the Chicago Convention
they are very hard to please, but the nominations
at Chicago do not indeed justify the Democrats in
expecting TO win with a limited candidate OF a
divided party.

WASHINGTON, June General Sherman this
morning, in reply ID the question as to whether
he had sent ngratulatory dispatch to General
Garfield, replied: II have sent no telegram to
General Garfield, nor do l intend to- General
| Garfield is soldier and gentleman and needs no
words or messages from me to assure him OF my
best wishes for his honor and happiness IN this
critical period of our country's life"
As stated in these dispatches last night the Cab
met officers all heartily approve the nomination.
Judge Key is the only other member OF the Cabi-
| net who did not sends congratulatory dispatch to
| Garfield. This was not because he lid not favor
| the nomination, but merely because he will soon
| leave the Cabinet, and did not wish to figure in
politics. He thinks the nomination q good one,
and that it will succeed.

desertion of the delegates from Blaine and the
other candidates to Garfield merely illustrates
once more as has before notably occurred in
the history of similar conventions, political

has the best chance for nomination whose char
acter and abilities have raised the fewest rivals.
II also cOngratu ates America upon the choice by
