The Republican enthusiasm over the
nomination oi Garfield eyaporated su
suddenly after the first flush ri the an
nouncement, that one could easily inn

Wind escaped. The first excitement is
easily accounted ioT. All tue enemies

great that it had to iud expression. In

ConkHnE's Satisfaction
4 select lew oi Conkling's intimates
say that the New York Senator had two
slrlugs to his bow in Chicago, aud that
one ut them, which to him was hardly
,econd to his desire to nominate Grant,
was the determination to slaughter
Blaine. Having accomplished that,
much OF the sting OF his defeat otherwise,
was lost.
Democrats Wild with JOY
The Democrats can hardly yet realize
the great fortune that has como to them
