the other competitors for the prize.

branches Of the party,
General Arthur, although not SO
we'll known outside of his own State,
has o record against which no just
impeachment can be brought, and
his nomination renders almost GER
tain the carrying of New York for
the party.
From all parts of the country come
advices that the party is falling into
line under the new leaders with Wig

support they will receive next No
