In a leading article discussing the results OF
the Chicago conventions, the Times of Saturday
morning says: Mr. Bane's nomination will
be received with general satisfaction. Not
~ has he been the most popular candidate from
the outset, but he is, beyond all question, the
most conspicuous andrespeced politician in the
ranks of the Republican party, which has done
itself honor in the nomination OF 50 well known
and distinguished a man. If the Democrats
could make up their minds to 4 definite and
reasonable free trade policy they would Ger
tainly secure more sympathy on this side of the
Atlantic than has hitherto been accorded Them
Meantime, we must congratulate the republic
on the choice of a candidate so emncntlV suited
AS Mr.. Blaine to represent and uphold the dig
nitV of the United States
