PRESS COMMENTS ON THE
NOMINATION.

republicans will all be sorry for it next
November
ALBANY JOURNAL: ssThe republican
party will be worthily led by the man
whom it has honored with its approval
this day. If there is need of honesty,
vigorous leadership and capacity in the
chief executive, those qualities will be
supplied in the triumphant election of
that candidate to the office of president
TROY TIMES cit is always mistaken
policy to commit q wrong, and in that
light the Times must ever regard the con-
duct of the convention at Chicago yester-
day. But conclusion reached by the
collective wisdom and saeacity of the
party must be accepted as properly out
weighing the judgment of individuals, or
even of large minority of the organiza-
ton. The majority has spoken and the
Times obeys.
NEW YORK INDEPENDENT eve will
not support the ticket nominated at Chi
cago. 1t commands neither our enthusi-
asm nor our convictions. Our convictions
with his drove of Arkansas delegates.
Our enthusiasm is not kindled by gush
and dash and magnetism The level head
and downright conscience of the republic
an party demand devotion to the principle.
Devotion to party is not enough"
BosToN JOURNAL: ssIt is sufficient for
us, as members of the republican party,
to know that Mr.. Blaine is to lead the
republican party in the coming campaign.
He is to stand upon platform which was
adopted by the republican delegates, and
to give to him, therefore, as the accepted
leader, cordial support, is duty which
every republican owes the party. OF the
election of Mr.. Blaine there is very little
question. The campaign thus far has
shown his wonderful strength with the
people"
WORCESTER SPY: ''Now that the man
who was most generally desired is chos-
ell, those who rejoice are many and os-
tentatious in their delight, and those who
regret are silent and inconspicuous. Mr..
Blaine has many admirable and engaging
qualities. He is as popular as Henry
Clay aud in character somewhat resem-
bles him. He is the candidate Of the par
ty, and the feeling of party loyalty-an
honorable and generous feeling-will 81
lence many misgivings and bring to his
support the substantial strength of the
party"
CONCORD On. H. MONITOR: cat last
the republican party has controlled its
own convention. At last the voice of the
people has been needed. At last great
popular leader who was long ago elected
to the presidency by the republican party
is to be formally chosen by republican
votes. Is it necessary to say that the
| nomination is a wise one? Is it not
| enough to say that the candidate is Blaine!
| That name whose very mention sets the
blood tingling and pulses beating as nc
other man known to this generation car
do. From this our success is assured
1t matters not whom the opposition ma!
nominate, or what course in it's conven
ton or in it's campaign it may pursue
Boston TRAVELLER: "Mr. Blaine il
now the nominee of the national republic
an party for president and Massachusetts
can well afford, now that he is so by he
own default, to sink all petty regrets, for
get all past antagonists, and rally one
more around the grand old banner of th
republican cause. Party loyalty demand
this, and patriotic duty forbids anythin
else. For the first time in its history tn
republican party has nominated NeN
Highlander for the chief magistracy of til
nation, and for the first time in three de
cades an opportunity offers to place a
eastern statesman in the chair of Wasl
ington. He will not fail to reach it fC

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN: "The +,
publican party, dazzled with the qualitie
which please the mob, have placed tn
