N dent ? Can the executive authority of the public be safely intrusted to him !? These are questions which every voter should ask, and we answer calmly and emphatically that he is not such man. But the mischiefs of elect ing such man President would all seem blessings compared to the results which would have followed the success of Grant and the third term.
 GFrom the New York Herald We congratulate the Republican party on its narrow escape from great danger. Had General Grant received the nomination the party would have been doomed From the New York Tribune.l With it's best judgment the Tribune ap- proves, with it's heartiest enthusiasm the Fri bune applauds the work of the Chicago conyen- ton. With whatever power it possesses it will commend that work to the people and labor increasingly for a triumphant ratifica- tion at the polls as great deliverance and as regenerating triumph for the Republican party.
 From the Chicago Times The nomination of Garfield is a strong one, an uncommonly strong one. His cleo ton most probably would continue MT. OAoIILldu dI JLS ueduA or the treasury. lnO60 who imagine that Garfield is @ candidate easi- ly defeated will find that they are under se- rious delusions.
 [Trom the Chicago Tribune.I General Garfield will be elected we have no question. He is candidate worthy of election, and will com mand not only every Republican vote ln the country but the sup port of tens of thousands of non-partisans From the New York Timesl The chicago Convention has followed sun- dry familiar precedents in failing to select the strongest of the candidates presented to it. But from the second rank of available Republicans 1t has made very excellent choice, and one which has the great merit of uniting all sections of the party for harmo- nious, aggressive and probably successful campaign
 From the Boston Advertiser.l
 The Republican party has candidate for President of whom it may be proud-a man of ability, experience and conscience. The nomination of General Garfield cannot be too heartily welcomed by all who have the good of the party and of the country at heart, not merely as most satisfactory solu- tion of a situation that was much to be gretted, but as one thoroughly good in itself. The country has not been in danger, and no man name has been necessary to save it.
 
 with itself only in appearance and we believe that with either of the leading candidates who were defeated, with some more than with others, it would have been sufficiently united to have won decided victory in No vember.
 From the New York Journal of Commercel
 After a week of struggle and excitement, the Republican convention at Chicago has nominated General James A. Garfield, of Ohio, as it's candidate for the Presidency. Of the whole list of candidates named ct the convention this is undoubtedly the strongest that could have been made. Garfield served the country faithfully in the late war, and has very excellent military record, which will give him more strength than could have been concentrated on any mere civilian. He has little less intellectual ability than Blaine, but is also less "stalwart,n and not as bitter against the South.
 IFrom the Hartford Courant.l
 The Republican party is to be congratulat ed upon the happy outcome of the protract- ed struggle at Chicago. The friends of the leading candidates will naturally be disap- pointed at their failure, but there will be among them no feeling of bitterness at the final result, while among the great mass of Republicans of the country it will be regard ed with satisfaction The nomination of MT. Garfield will harmonize all branches of the Republican party. While he is sufficiently stalwart to suit the more radical wing, he is also the type of man in character and ability to meet the demands of those who, like the Republicans of Connecticut and Massachu- setts desired the nomination of EdInunds or Washburne.
 From the Norwich Buletin.l
 It may be questioned whether the conven- tion, considering all things, could have selected a filter Presidential candidate to present to the people. His long, brilliant and sound legislative career, preceded by his eminent military record, united with private character which will bear close scrutiny-these qualities combined render him strong candidate in every sense of the term for the people to support and elect, as it is believed they will in November next.
 [From the Philadelphia North AmericanI
 The nomination of General Garfield will nowhere create enthusiasm, save in the circle of his personal friends, but it will every where command respect and from his foes, from his allies, must come the acknowl edgment that the honor he has won sprang from an unsought recognition of his virtues were creditable, his public career has been honorable, and his private life and personal character are pure and irreproachable.
 From the Providence Journal.I
 The nomination of General Garfield is an assurance of victory in advance, and puts al- ready beyond a doubt the security of the fruits of the war, the continuance of good government in the United States, and the best example of human freedom and progress throughout the world. It dissipates the hopes of its enemies that the Republican party was about to suffer injury by its own hands, and justifes the confidence in the sound judgment of its representatives in con- vention assembled.
