MIR. HORACE WHITE has an article in the
International Review, on 'The Nomina-
tions." After reviewing the circumstances of
the Chicago Convention at some length and
setting forth the causes of Gen. Grants de-
feat, Mr.. White considers the merits of the
opposing candidates. HE says: Nobody
better represents American institutions, and
the American idea of self-government than
Gen. Garfield. The poor boy grubbing an
education for himself-let us bestow our
pity upon anybody who can sneer at this pic
ture-the college instructor, the brave SOL
dier in the volunteer army, the successful
leader of his party in the House of Repre-
sentatives, not devoid of ambition, but free
from the suspicion of trickery and deceit in
his political action, student now and always
as arduous in his endeavors to acquire
knowledge as when lie first opened the
spelling -book--such is the man chosen, by
accident perhaps, but well chosen, to re-
ceive the votes of a great party for the Office
of Chief Magistrate Of the American people.
Whatever may be said of the De Golyer
paving contract or the Credit -Mobilier case,
nothing will shake the confidence of the
great mass of the people that Gen. Garfield
is in money matters worthy of their fullest
trust
