news now is the sentiment of the country on
the recent nominations As far as could be
judged there Is a general satisfaction among
Republicans, especially in the west. In New
York and Massachusetts, dissatisfaction exists
among the Independents and reformers and
The Times, of New York, and Advertiser, Of
Boston have bolted the nomination. Follow
ing are some OF the comments:
"1he ticket is one," said Mayor Harrison,
of this city, that will excite enthusiasm, but
1t is not a winning ticket And why should
it winl The candidates ON it are not up t.
the average nominees of Republican cotl-
ventlon. Blaine is a politician who would
stop at nothing that would tend to his per.
sonal aggrandizement" He added that
Blaine was not the most brilliant American
of his day and that his impress was not on
the laws of the country; that there was not
an act on the statue works organized by
him. He said he had strong hopes of carry
ing Illinois for the Democracy.
The Denver Tribune says that the ser
vice which Blaine has given to the country
endears him to the hearts of the people and
renters even the presidency a meagre re-
ward. Everything in our American citizen-
| ship which loves shrewdness, bravery, learn
| ing, wisdom, eloquence, patriotism, and IN
| tegrity will rally to the Blaine standard.
Our prophecy that this nomination will be
approved at the ballot-box in November is
based on confidence in Republican wisdom,
| enthusiasm, and unanimity and the equal
| certainty OF Democratic folly, GOODNESS, and
dissension."
The Republican of the same city regards
Mr. Blaine as standing "the embodiment OF
| the American idea. he Is the ideal states
man of the young American He is without
peer in the land and the idol of the people
He is the incarnation of intelligence, push,
vim, and enterprise" s-
The News, Democratic says. There can
be no doubt that in Blaine and Logan the
Republicans have nominated hip-hip- huIrah
ticket. Tho next administration, il the fates
decree that Blaine and Logan shall be
elected, viii stand on its hind legs and show
its teeth to the whole rest Of the world.
The Washington City Star says: 1t will
be very easy for the Democrats to under.esti-
mate the strength of Blaine and Logan as a
presidential ticket To begin with, they viii
make mistake II they think the candidates
can be snuffed out by cartoons. This line of
attack was brought into popularity by ths
success Mast obtained in showing up Boss
Tweed and his precious gang of thieves, but
| the trick has now become too familiar to
cause much effect No man was ever carl
catured more or worse than Grant, but it /.
| doubtful if he was ever hurt thereby. Gar

THINK BLAINE, AN ANGLoPHoBIsT.
A dispatch from London says: The news o
Blaine's nomination, although not unexpected
has been received with profound regret b
nearly all English politicians. Blaine
looked upon as an Anglophobist, and his sue
cess at Chicago is attributed largely /
Irish influence. Special dispatches frol
Chicago to The Standard and Telegram
contain the following statements: "Amon
the principal causes which brought abol
Mr.. Blaine's success were, first, his populari,
/ among American Anglophobists; and Sc
ondly, his greater popularity among tt
