All over the country the nominations are
enthusiastically received and even the most
hypercritical cheerfully acknowledge that a
better man than Garfield could hardly have
been chosen to head the ticket
Congress now intends to adjourn on the
10th inst.
The Grand Army Of the Republic, in ses-

Wagner of Philadelphia Commander-in-C Chief.
Gen. Grant takes his defeat philosophical

right

candidates responded briefly. accepting the

The Vermont delegation must be credited
with having conducted themselves with the
greatest wisdom and discretion throughout the
whole course of the Chicago convention.
From the outset they took care to antagonize
no mans candidate, and, in response to every
mans query and bid for support, they simply
said Mr.. Edmunds is our candidate we
have no second choice" Outside the conven-
ton they ran after nobody, but, on the con
trnry, they were continually sought after by
the representatives, of all the other candidates:
and in the convention they voted steadily for
Mr.. Edmunds to man, until the eventful
thirty-sixth ballot came, when they saw that
the critical moment had arrived, and threw
the vote of the state to swell the majority of
the winning man. All honor to the Vermont
delegation They did at Chicago just what
their constituents sent them there to do.

From this table it will be seen that Con

has been so much curiosity, voted for Wash
burne 3 for Blaine and for Edmunds, at
the outset On the second ballot one Of her
Edmunds votes went over to Washburne, and
on the 9TH the other followed On the second

significant, single delegates, changing here and
there on one ballot, only to change again or
go back to their first love, on succeeding bal
lots. The 2sth ballot, taken just before the
adjournment at g.4j, was as follows

Senator Edmunds is at West Point this
week, attending the annual examinations, and
on Monday was apparently the most indiiIer-
ent man there concerning the balloting at
Chicago At 10 o'clock Monday evening he
strolled into the hotel Office, and scanning
the list of the days balloting, commented
briefly on the figures. When reminded that
his own chances for the nomination were
good, he said that lac did not desire it, and
that he had protested against allowing his
name to be used The senator went to bed
very quietly, even before the announcement
of the adjournment of the convention until
Tuesday had been received When informed
of the result on Tuesday Mr.. Edmunds said
the nomination of Garfield was an excellent
one, las good as could be made" When
asked why he did not seek the nomination
himself, he replied II really did not care
for it, have been long enough in public
life, and long enough in Washington, to know
that the position of president is not an envia-

Men of fair and unbiased judgment and
right sympathies can have nothing but respect
for Gen. Grant mingled with a thousand re-
grets, under the present circumstances. A
third presidential term was not of his own
seeking, and, supplemented and honest man
that we believe him to be at heart his only
mistake was in allowing himself to be misled
by the solicitations and misrepresentation of
unwise and designing friends.

Probably the full secret history of the meth.
DDS, agreements or impulses, whichever it
was, that led to the combination Oh Gen. Gar
field at the critical moment, will never be
known. One account says that there was a
consultation of the Blaine and Sherman lead
ers just before the morning session on Tues
day and another says that Blaine and Sher-
man were themselves in consultation in Wash
ington the evening before, when union Of
their forces upon Garfield was agreed upon in
order to defeat Grant It was generally sup
posed that Conkling would hold his forces
and, when he found that he could not nomi-
nate Grant would, at the critical moment.

the successful candidate. Whether he intend
ed to do this but installing the situation.
waited just one ballot too long can only be a
matter of conjecture. We are inclined to
credit Mr.. Conkling with seeing that, if he
allowed his forces to break Blaine's nomina-
ton was inevitable, and that he therefore held
them in his marvellous grasp to the last. and
thus saved his party from sure defeat under
Mr.. Blainc'a leadership. Certain it is that he
showed such hold on BOG men as was never
before witnessed in "a civic gathering in this
country, and that when hc went down it was
with every banner flying And it Is equally
certain that the anti Grant men, seeing the
Grant vote begin to creep up on the saith and
31th ballots realized that the supreme mo
ment had come and skillfully massed their
forces on the stroug.e 81 and most accessible
man west OF Vermont.
