WASHINGTON, June Sth.-Senator Blaine
drove from his residence to the Capitol soon
after the news of the final ballot had become

How the News of the Nomination was
Received on the Pacific Coast.
SAN Francisco, June Sth.-The nomina-
ton of General Garfield was received in this
city with quiet but evident satisfaction on the
part OF the Republicans. Blaine was the al
Gorham and Grant evidently compensates for
all disappointment. It is undeniable that
the partisanship of Gorham for Grant had
much to do with producing the general un-
popularity of that candidate. The State
Central Committee has arranged for grand
ratification meeting tomorrow evening. One
hundred guns were fred on Union Square in
honor of Garfield and Arthur.
SAN Francisco, June Sth.-The Central
Republican Club of California met this even
ing, changed its name to the Garfield Club,
elected officers and heartily indorsed Gar
fields nomination. The Eleventh Ward Club
this afternoon called ratification for this
evening at Humboldt Hall. Although the
large and enthusiastic attendance, and the
speakers were cheered in lively campaign
style. Active preparations are being made
for general ratification meeting at Platt's
Hall tomorrow night, and the occasion
promises to be spirited and largely
attended. This evening the Occidental
Club usurped the stamping ground of
the WoIkingmen on the sand lot and fired
100 guns. General Rosecrans has been inter
viewed by Cal reporter. Garfield was his
Chief-of Staff during the war, and Rosecrans,
from intimate personal acquaintance, paid
him very high tribute as man of high
character, broad views and great ability, and
pronounced him head and shoulders above
any other nominee before the Convention.
He, however, considered that the advantage
to the Republican party by the nomination
of Garfield was TO greet extent negatived
by the selection of Arthur as candidate for
Vice-President.
