The Nomination.

tho &uns-TaIk About Town.
 Yesterday afternoon at ab put three o'clock people swarmed about the bulletin boards to read the news from Chicago, the first bal lot having been secured. From that time great public interest was apparent and pros poets of Blaine's nomination became the great topic of the hour, on the street, in the stores and all over. The news of Blsine's success was quickly circulated about the city and at seven o'clock everybody within radius of five miles at least of New Haven's City Hall must have been made aware that the principal work of the convention was done by the noise of the booming of the can- non. A salute of one hundred guns was fired on the old Green, and soon the streets at the center were alive with people. The discussion of Blaine and Blaine's chances was a lively topic last evening. Some of the Democrats were, to use the remark of an an~ cient and honorable politician, "tickIed way down to their boots" to think that Blaine was nominated. Other Democrats did not feel so sure. One prominent Democrat said Blaine has magnetic qualities and he will have big vote. Another equally prominent Democrat said, ''Give us Tilden and we will have the next President R. T. Merwin, the real estate dealer, said, ''The Republican party has been in too long, we want 8 change.'' Hoadley B. Ives said, 'sBlaine is strong man. am glad he is nominated He will be elected"

John G. North: He well deserves the nomi- nation. He has done more for the Republi- | can party and the cause of freedom than any other living man. The common people will | be honored with Blaine President. I am most heartily glad of his nomination. General William H. Russell thought that Blaine would require defence from Repub- licaps, and that another candidate would fare | better in that respect. General W. A. Lincoln-The nomination | just suits me.

Warren, president of the State street horse railroad-BIaine is one of the ablest men we've got. Robert Morgan, the plumber-Yes, Blaine will carry enthusiasm into the campaign. T. c.

 Another Republican said-People who demand perfection in Republican candidates l will find it of course in the Democratic can- l didate, they are so guileless and spotless, as for instance the immaculate Tilden.
