The Nominees.

The most momentous victory ever achieved
by political convention has been won at
Chicago. Craftsmanship, purity, integrity,
fidelity have grandly triumphed. The lofty
trust reposed by the people in their delegates
has been gloriously indicated The brave
old party, the unhinching champion of uni
versal freedom, is again true to its tradi-
tional fame, and with an united front and
serried ranks will march to certain victory
in November. The nomination of General
will confound the foes of the Republican
party. 1t will spike all the guns of the
enemy, loaded to the muzzle, double-shotted,
for Grant, or Blaine, or Sherman. The con-
vention has chosen one Of the best, the
wisest, the bravest men of the party and of
the nation. 1t has placed the party, morally
and politically, on the highest possible van
tage ground. From its impregnable height
it will strike out for the right with its old.
time fervor and boldness, unfettered by fear
of attack in flank or rear, and will send its
implacable enemy reeling and staggering to
sure and lasting overthrow The name of
Garfield stands for craftsmanship, for ma
tionality. His candidacy signifies the ele-
walton of the campaign from the dusty arena
of personal strife to the high plane on
which the discussion of clear and sharply
defined national issues will be forced. With
the high prestige which the ability and
character of the nominee will bring to the
aid of the party in such contest, with the
matchless skill, the tried integrity, and the
assured harmony of the great Republican
leaders, with the fervent devotion and the
cemented unity of the entire Republican
hosts, the Republican column, led by the
gallant Buckeye soldier and statesman, will
march forward to victory in November so
sure and decisive that no electoral com.
mission will be called upon to unravel the
verdict at the polls.
General Chester A. Arthur, the Republi-
can nominee for vice-president is citizen
Of New York, soldier of the war of the
rebellion, and has been conspicuous in New
York politics for many years. He was col
lector of the port of New York under Gen
eral Grants administration and is native
of Vermont. 1t is singular coincidence
that each of the candidates is taken from
the same state that furnished the president
and vice president four years ago. The CO.
incidence will not end in this fact. 1t will
extend itself to their triumphant election,
and will embrace another fact which will
not be coincidence at all-they ,cM carry
The empire state high and dry for GARFIELD
and ARTHUR.

MAINE.-The allied Democrats and Green
hackers of Maine have nominated General
II. NJ. Plaisted for governor. The general is
a cool, calculating, Woodworking man, one
who goes in for success, great organizer,
and he will give the Republicans all the
fighting they will want to defeat him. He
rose to the rank of major-general in the war
of the rebellion, was delegate to the Re
publican national convention in 1868, a
member of the forty-fourth congress and has
held other important civil offices.

SOUTHERN Democrats claim that the rea-
son the Republicans get no more votes in
the south is not that the negroes are de-
TERED from voting through fear of the shot
gun, but because they have transferred their
allegiance to the Democratic party. If that
is the case there, will be negro delegates at
the Cincinnati convention. Let us wait and
see how many Of dusky hue take their seats
with the mighty men of that party when it
assemblies three weeks hence.

The telegraph has played conspicuous
part in the events of the past week. The
people all over the land have read full de-
tails of the proceedings at Chicago, and del
egates have been in constant communica-
ton with their constituents. Thus the tel
egraph has assisted to make the action of
the convention more correct reflection of
the sentiment of the people.

WHILE Blaine and Sherman sat by their
wires in Washington in momentary COM
munication with their henchmen at the
front, Senator Edmunds was coolly and
quietly discharging his duty at West Point,
as member of the board of visitors to that
institution. 1t was not in the power of the
Chicago convention to add one cubt to the
stature of the reputation Of the Vermont
senator by any honor it could confer, but the
convention would have honored itself by
placing the name Of Edmunds first on the
banner that will float at the head of the Re
publican hosts in the impending conflict.

The Spirit OF the Convention.

Greek met Greek at Chicago and the tug
of war was long and persistent. But fair
play and even-handed justice prevailed
throughout. The prophets of evil were
sorely disappointed. 1t was contest of
giants, and the leaders struck out from the
shoulder in every test of strength, but when
the battle went against them, like true repre-.
sentatives of the American idea they yielded
to majority, fairly and honorably ex-
pressed. In the great battles over the pre-
liminary organization, and in the marshal
ing of the hosts for the first onset, each
faction seemed TO be animated
" By the stern joy that warriors feel
In foemen worthy of their STEEL
and, like chivalrous contestants, bore no sui
len revengeful grudges from the conflict.
The discontinue foated off in a cheer and
the final verdict of the convention, in set
ting aside both Of the high belligerents and
uniting on neutral ground, verified the old
time confidence of the people in the wisdom
of the Republican leaders in this the Sc
verest test to which it has ever been subjec-
ted. No discordant rebellious faction now
exists. Grant, anti.Grant, Scratchers and In
dependents lose their identity, marshaled
under a common banner and one acknowl-
edged leadership.
