Comments of the New York Press

Comments of the New York Press.
New YORK, Feb. 5.-The Herald says the
result at Harrisburg is for Cameron and the
third term, and that the third term managers
consider they will carry New York and Illinois
which with Pennsylvania gives 100 delegates
for Grant III the Chicago convention-almost
half of the number requisite for majority.
The leaders expect to obtain enough more
from the Southern states to carry the conven-
ton and secure Grants nomination. If the
real Republican states would rebel against an
ignoble slavery and nominate candidates of
their own they would have chance of elect
ING him and would at least break the yoke OF
a seryile party bondage.
The World says the Harrisburg convention
made a Macedonian cry to Gen. Grant and
that the platform adopted, especially in refer
ence to currency, is particularly comic.
The Times says: ''Strong as may be the
popular feeling in favor of Blaine, it is certain
a GOOD deal of its supportl in the Harrisour
convention came from men who espoused MS
cause quite as much from opposition TO the
rule of the tCamerons as from any special at
tacbment to his claims on the Presidential
nomination.. 49,.
The Tribune says: 'No one can doubt that
if the convention had been left to It's own
spontaneous choice the Pennsylvania delega-
ton would stand at this mement for James q.
Blaine The majority for Grant, small as it is,
is unquestionably due in part to the firm re-
fusal of Blaine's immediate representatives to
authorize any bitter assault upon Senator
Cameron.
