-"Maine's vote is cast for you with
my cordial concurrence" telegraphed
Mr.. Blaine to General Garfield dur
ing the final ballot. "The nomina-
ton is an exceedingly fortunate one,"
said Senator Window when he heard
the result. "You have saved the Re-
publican party and the country from
great peril" was the message John
Sherman sent to Garfield. ~ go in
for that nomination with all my
heart" enthusiastically exclaimed
Senator Edmunds when he read the
bulletin an West Point. That don't
look much like opposition from rival
candidates. Even Gen. Grant is sal
to have been satisfied with the result
We have no doubt he was candidate
,nore to serve his friends than to
gEstify his s~n ambition
