Fergus Falls journal, (Rep.)
James A. Garfield has more of the
qualities for Il good and wise presi-
dent than any man since Lincoln.
This paper announces that Garfield
us our first choice for president six
months ago.
Sank Center Herald, (Rep)
Garlleld's candidacy will firmly I'M
lite the party, and while he has al
ways been Republican latter the
strictest manner of the sect he has
always been free from all political in.
trigues and rapid partisanship. and
fully represents that heightened and
liberal craftsmanship that markes the
present administration of President
Hayes.
WorthinGton Journal, (Rep)
He is grand, noble, splendid man.
honest. able. self-piosed and self com
manding.' He will make strong
candidate. and an able, upright, pure
and positive executive officer. Hur-
rah for Garfield!
Alexandria News, Rep)
\ very satisfactory outcome of the
presidential question. 1t will do
away with all the bitter feeling exist
ing in the party and result in Il grand
victory for the Republicans in Novem-
Der.
Worthin.ton Advance, (Rep.)
Garfield is stalwart of the Ben
Wade and Zach Chandler stamp,
without being us rough in manner
and expression. He is us pure man
AS Hayes, personally and politically,
but is much stronger man. If any
man can unite the republicans and
lead them to another victory, Gar
field is that man.
Shakopee Argus, Dem)
In numbers the convention was the
largest; in intelligence superior; in
interest the greatest; in moment of is
sue most alarming and important.
AS citizen of this republic we con-
graduate the Republican party for
breaking the letters which bound it
to a despot. The nominee Gen.
James A. Garfield of Ohio. is strong
candidate. This fact the Democratic
yarty will understand.
st. Cloud Journal, (Rep.)
From every point of view the NOM
nation of Gen. Garfield is the hest
that could have been made. 1t thor
oughly unites the Republican party,
bringing to his enthusiastic support
every interest and element, from the
most pronounced stalwart to the
most eXacting independent.
Albert Lea Enterprise, (RepD
Gen. Garfield is man of marked
ability and leadership. and will carry
the ticket on to victory.
Glyndon News, (kep)
Measured by the best standard of
American party politics, the Repub-
licans, with James A. Garfield to lead
them, are invulnerable, and will he
invincible in the campaign of 1880.
Singular. how Garfield caught the
Blaine mantle as the Republican lead
er of the House, and then inherited
Blaine's strength at Chicago!
Austin Transcript, (Rep.)
AT last the suspense is Over-the
fear that Gen. Grant might possibly
receive the nomination of the Re-
publican party for President is turn
ed into rejoicing ut the nomination of
the stalwart son of Ohio. \ candi-
date of ability, of power. and of pub
lie and private virtue, in whom all
Republicans can unite. and around
whom all the floating vote will gather.
Northfeld journal. (Rep)
A happy combination of names for
our next President. James repre-
sents charity, and Abraham the high
est good, even the father of the faith
full: and is it not matter for con-
graduation that this great Nation has
selected such a man to preside over
its destinies for the ensuing four
years from March 4, 1881, and posi-.
bly, another term! The nomination
of Garfield is one eminently fit to he
made, and our only regret is that the
convention did not select for the Sec
| 0nd office a man of like genius to the
first.
Albert Lea Standard, (RepJ
In the defeat of Grant and Blaine,
the Republican party escaped a great
peril. With either as candidate it
would have been defeated. The NOM
nation Of Garfield ensures it success
in November next.
We deeply regret to announce the
death of w. J. McMasters, for many
years editor Of the Lake City Senti-
mel. A more cOnciencious and up.
right man was never connected with
