nominations III that way 7"
"Of coursc cannot speak for the Democracy OF the
limited satcs-thosc are my convictions. think Gar
field il the weakest the Republicans had before the
Convention. Either Grant. Blaine or sherman might

field can do anything. Sherman wOuli have been
strong in New-York. Pennsylvania. and generally
throughout The Eastern States; hui regard CARL ~
nomination as insuring victory for the Democratic
party"
