GARFIELD's CONGRATULATIONS. ~
Gen. Garfield's evident intention was to leave
the convention hall as little observed as possible
and but small portion Of the galleries was aware
of his exit. When he reached the street all i'm.
mense crowd had gathered, who gave h m an en-
thusiastic reception. Great difficulty was expert
enced in gaining carriage, but Gov. Fosters per-
suasions to the mob finally prevailed, and Garfield
was released for time from the hand-shaking
and press of the crowd. He got heated however,
and at last the carriage was forced through the
mob and driven rapidly to the Grand Pacific.
General Garfield went Immediately to his suite
of rooms, entering parior No. 10S, where he re-
mained for half an hour receiving his more inti-
mate friends. Ultimately. however, the number
OF callers became so great and persistent that he
was forced to seek other quarters, and was given
a private room in another part of the hotel.
Garfield through all these demonstratio.l is pre-
served the same calm undisturbed demeanor,
merely acknowledging the cheering by slight
bow.
He did not attend the evening session but re-
NAMED in the rOom receiving messages and con-
gratulations. He had been under a heavy strain
for ten days, and the mornings work rather in
creased it. The little room No. los ON the third
floor was exchanged for much larger one on the
northeast corner of the floor, there being little
room for visitors in his old room. Unlike sewers
gentlemen OF less prominence hee he made no
effort to secure privacy, and his latch-key hung
out constantly.
In fact the door was left wide open and who.
ever chose came and went as freely as II the room
were his own. Thousands took advantage of the
fact to make momentary congratulatOry calls
and the new candidate had littG lime even to
read his letters, let alone the kilograms, of which
between nine hundred to thousand were re-
ceived. In the evening he and Gen. Arthur gave
formal reception in the parlors of the New York
delegation room. which had been handsomely
ornalnented with flowers. and afterward they were
closeted for an hour with Conkling
The dispatches received were from all sections.

NEW YORK PRESS ON THE TICKET.
NEW YORK; June 9.-Commentng OH the Chi

says We must first of all congratulate the Re-
publican party on its narrow escape from great
danger. Had General Grant received the nomi.

when we come to consider the actual candidate,
we do not know whether we ought to congratu-
late the Republican party or condole with it.
