Press Comments.
THE NEW YORK HERALD on THE NOMINATION.
Mr.. Garfield is on record as one OF the
most fair-minded and libeTal-mnded men Of
his party in connection with the questions
which relate to magnanimous treatment oil
the southern States. His instincts are not
those Of a demag0gue, but those OF states
man, and we have no doubt that II h(
should be elected he would be as liberia
and considerable 10 the South az Genera
Grant indicated his purpose to be in MS re
cent speeches in the southern States. The
Tendencies OF Mr. Gartield's mind are 10
rise above narrow-mndcd partisanshlr
and treat questions on their broader merits
The extract from one OF his speeches which
orr Washington correspondent recalls
proyes that he would be quite As liberal &c
the South as General Grant himself would
have been il nominated and elected. Mr.
Garfield is gentleman OF culture; th'
whole tone OF the man reyolts against tn'
narrowness OF merely partisan politics, ant
should he be elected we have no doubt tina
his policy would he directed TO the healing
Of sectional animosities. But in spite o
these great merits we cannot regard him a
a strong candidate.
In the first place, he must suffer with hi
marty from the encouragement 1t has glvel
10 imperialism This snent issue will MAKE
no difference in the strong Republican
States, but IN doubtful States, like New
York, it will exert potent influence. In
fact that the accredited Republican leader
I'm New York fought strenuous battle 70
the third term will give handle to the De
mocrats ard enable them 10 deal eficctiv
blows against their opponents in this State
The weakness OF Mr. GarfieIds nOmi
culated to strengthen the Republican party
in the doubtful States. 1t is generally con
ceded that the vote OF New York will de
. eide the presidential election; but the sc
lection Of Mr.. Garfield as the Republican
standard-bearer has no tendency tC
strengthen the Republican party in thi
pivotal State He is deseryedly admired
in Ohio and the West, but he has acquired
no strong hold on the confidence OF New
York Republicans.
The Republican leaders in thiSState, hav
ing gone into the third-tcrm movement Will
ali their zeal, will be crippled by this tire
mendous mistake and by the loss OF pres
tIge which attends its failure, and il tn
Democratic party should be re1nited tin
chances are against General Garfield carry
ing New York, whose loss would be fatal Il
. his hopes. The Republican party is weak
ened BY the long contest at Chicago, weak
ened BIZ the strenuous efforts for third
term by many OF its principal leaders, weak
ened by its nomination Of ticket which
none OF its members would have recon
mended or thought OF IN advance, and /
will have hard battle to fight il the Demo
cratic party should make reasonably gooC
nomination.

GARFIELD AND ARTHUR.
II the Democrats Of the country are no
satisfied with the result OF the Chicago Con
vention they are very hard to please. The
nominations at Chicago DO not Indeed justify
the Democrats in expecting TO win with tn,
tainted candidate OF divided party. BuI
