The Republican Nominees.


ally nominate dark horse, for We
presume few people in the United
States expected the nomination Of
James A. Garfield We admit that it
was complete surprise to US, for be
only received one ote until the thirty.
third ballot was reached, when he
began to gain, and on the tbirty-sixth
ballot was nominated by receiving
399 votes. Grant led off on the first
ballot with 3O5, which never varied
more than eight votes until the last
ballot, his highest vote being 3l5 on
the thirty-6ftb, and be received SOC
votes on the last.
Garfield is native of Ohio and
still a citizen of that State, and was
but recently promoted from the House
of Congress to the Senate, as the sue
cessor of Senator A. G. Thurman.
Politically be is what is now termed
stalwart Republican, though per-
haps not quite as bitter and inveterate
q hater of the South as Blaine. He
has served seven end is now serving
his eighth term in Congress, and dur
ing that time has distinguished him
self in several respects, some of which
are not very enviable f; but Of this we
will speak in future.
Upon the whole, we are glad be is
the nominee, for we think, with the
right man on the Democratic ticket,
be will be more easily beaten than
either Grant or::Blaine would have
been. Grant would have been the
hardest man to defeat in the South
that could have been placed in the
field.
We see it already predicted that
this nomination will unity the party
but we are not prepared to say that it
will yet. Grants friends no doubt
feel little sore over it, for be I'm.
doubtedly defeated Grant in the con-
ventiou, through the combination of
pronounced and Incorporating anti
third termcrs.
Chester A. Arthur, who was nom.
mated for Vice President, is not very
we'll known outside of bis own State,
New York, but is prominent Repub.
lican politician there. He was brought
prominently before the general public
only by his removal from Office as COL
lector Of the port of New York. lie
stands high with bis party in New
York, and bis nomination was made
with the hope Of carrying that State
for the Republican ticket.
The campaign has been opened and
the hosts are being marshalled for the
conflict. Let US hope that it will not
be conducted in the same intolerant
spirit that has characterized previous
campaigns since the war.

the mostinexcusiblean and offensive in sociei;

Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors Of the weed.
