nominations Of their weakest or most offensive
men, and Grant, whom they expected 10 hOat
their ticket, Is taken away from them.
The Democrats, on the contrary, have put ID
nomination the very best men, men who would
do honor to any State, and Florida may now be
conhdentially set down as sure for the DEM
