PRESS OPINIONS.

From such exchanges as we have
had time to look over, We clip the
following, on the nominations made
at Chicago:
Howard City Record. sour next
President, Hon. James G. Blaine"
Flint Globe: "Stand by the NOM
inee of the convention. He may not
be the best man among $4,000, 900
of people for President, but the pre-
sumption is fair that he is.
The Detroit Evening Journal:
"Though Blaine's nomination will be
received coldly in some quarters and
will grievously disappoint political
purists, 1t is certain that no other
nomination would be so gratifying to
active, non-office holding Republi-
cans throughout the country. And
certainly the candidacy of James G.
Blaine, with his brilliant Congression-
al career, his audacity, his dash, his
extensive acquaintance, and with
the pathos of Garfield's death still
clinging to him, will excite an en-
thusiasm among Republicans which
no other candidacy could"
Correspondent of The Evening
News: eff one were to judge by the
reception in this city (Chicago) the
nomination of Blaine and Logan,
make the most satisfactory ticket
that could possibly nave been select
| ed"
The Chicago Morning News
"The nomination of Mr.. Blaine will
not, it is safe to say, be received with
unmixed satisfaction"
The Lansing Republican: "No
patriotic, liberty loving man in Amer
lea ought to have moments hesita-
ton in giving his unqualified support
to the ticket which bears the names
of James G. Blaine and John A. Lo-
gan."
While the Republican National
convention was still in session, The
Toledo, Ohio, Blade, said that:
"The man nominated by the Repub-
lican National convention in Chicago
will be elected, no matter who he
may be. 1t is the party, not the man.
The interests of the country are safe
in the hands of the Republican party,
for it has we'll defined policy.
They are not safe in the hands of the
Democracy, for it has no we'll defined
policy to offer. The country will not
ego it blind" There may be a
choice as to men, but none whatever
as to parties"
The editor of The TIMES is asked
why he did not tell his readers what
was done at Indianapolis. Well, we
suppose all should have done that
last week, but here it is in a nut shell:
The Greenbackers, at their conven.
ton at Indianapolis, nominated Ben.
Butler for President, and Gen. A. M.
West, Of Mississippi, for Vice-Presi.
dent. The usual platform was adop-
ted, with the addition of a PROPOSE
sition to submit constitutional amend.
ments in favor of woman suffrage and
prohibition. Butler received 323
votes; Harper, 90; Allis, 2; Davis, /;
Scion Chase 2. West was nominated
by reclamation.
| The Clinton and Shiawassee
Union:-We have only time to place
the names of the candidates of the
Chicago convention at the head OF
this column this week, but rest with
| the consciousness that we will from
time to time have the pleasure of say
ing many things commendatory in
their behalf.
| The Detroit Times, bitterly anti
Blaine, speaks ofthe ticket as follows:
We do not underestimate the
strength of Blaine and Logan. We
do not fail to recognize the certain
prospect that they will make a very
vigorous campaign; that the party
ranks will close up solid, determin-
hid front; that the western states es-
pecially will be aroused to a wild
pitch of enthusiasm; that the soldiers,
already organized and ready for work,
will enlist with degree of loyalty
and zeal exceeding anything ever
Witnessed before
