Since his return to Washington ex-Gov Long is re-
ported as telling his friends that Blaine for whom he
proposes to vote, will be elected He thinks II will
be easier to predict after the Democrats make their
nomination, but that In any event Massachusetts can
be counted on. II the Democrats nominate Clcye-
land or Bayard, II will increase their chances The
disahection, however is local to Massachusetts and
southern New YORK aud the ticket Of Blaine and Lo-
gan is wonderfully strong elsewhere. He does not
believe the independents will put another ticket in
the field.

Now that the man who was most generally desired
is chosen, those who rejsice are many ard ostenta

lFrom the Troy ~. W TimesJ
1t is always mistaken policy to commit A WRONG
and in shat light the Times must ever regard the
duct OF the convention at Chicago yesterday. But 1
conclusion reached by the collective wisdom and "a.
gacty OF the party must be accepted properly ont
weighing the judgment Of individuals or even of 1
large minority of the organization. The tnaiori,S
has spoken and the Times obeys.
From the Boston Herald
Believing that Mr.. Blaine would be bad and dan.
gerous President, We hope TO see him defeat

Republican party to step down and out The nation.

From the Boston Adyertiserl
To large section Of the Republican party IN,
news tha me heree struggle at Chicago has ended by
Of disaster. To them the event will mean that M
party OF sound government aud Of high moral pur.
pose is required to abdicate its place the
Of principles, and to undertake the e1cupation of
man. And to them 1t will appear as we believe thai
the decision of national convention no longer re-
fleets the matured Judgment of great party holdino
itself responsible for the guidance OF the nation hui
is the chance result Of contest ia which intense am
bition the most degraded political methods and tho
olamor of mob within the hall Of the convention
have had 4 victory. With undated devotion 10 thf
great purposes for which the Republican party wa,
organized and has been maintained, we declare our
inability TO support the nomination, either in the
present aspect of the political hed or in any which
now seems likely to present itself.
From the Boston Journal
The Republican party is stronger and greater than
any man in the party That its principles should tr
umph, that its policy should be perpeuated that ts
wise and benehcent administration of public affairs
should be continued is Of vastly more Importance
than the rise fall Of individual fortunes Personal
preferences and disappointments must give place Ia
cordial cooperation for the success Of the party
DinerenceH OF opinion and the rivalry of aRDirantf
were for the days before the convention. The con.
Yention the arbiter Of the ISSUE and its decision
was given with an emphasis which leaves no room
for dispute. Its choice will be accepted by the greaI
mass Of Republicans with the same good sense and
frank loyalty which were manifested by the minority
10 the convention.

nomination that is strong In sure states but is the
weakest possible, with an omen OF defeat, In every
