GARFIELD. From one ent of the Nation to the other; from distant Oregon to Texas; from Maine to Arizona, Iizhtning has informed the coun- try of the nomination yesterday of Gen. James A. Garfield as the Republican cand!- dato for tho Presidency, ‘Lite Trisune this morning publishes coplous extracts from the National responses made to that selection, Never was a nomination made which has been received by frlend and foo with such evidences of hearty respect, admiration, and confidence. ‘Cho applause is universal, Even the Demveratic Mouse of Representatives suspended Its bustuess that it might formally congratulate the country pon the nominn- tlonof the distingulshed leader of the Re- publicaus of that body and now of the country. Jumes Abraham Garfleld is In the popular mind oneet the foremost statesmen of the Nation, Tuts comparatively a ‘young man, but in his public service has so borne himself ns to command tho confidence oud admiration of his. countrymen of all parties, Io entered tho army In 1861, and while engaged thore was elected to Con- gress from tho old Ashtabula district, which . Joshun R. Glddings represented so long. Ilo atonee took 2 frontrank in Congress, and aturesyed himself to 9 thorough study of tho principles and history of political economy. Ile served on the Committees on Mill- tary Affairs, on Ways and Means, and on Appropriations, When Mr. Blaine was Speaker Mr, Garfleld was tho leader on the floor of tho Mousa. , When tho Houso passed under tho control of tho Democrats in 1875, Mr. Blaine was soon after transferred to the Sennte, and Mr. Garfield became tho noknowledged lender of the Republican party inthe House,—n position which has never been more ably or satisfactorily filled. ‘Mr, Garfluld was Inst winter elected to the Senate from Ohio, ls term not beginning une tit thedth of March next; but the action of the Convention yesterday hag so advanced his prospects that it [s probable, if not certain, that he will becomo President before lls Sen- storial tern will begin. Gon. Garfield'Is both an orator and a etates-. man. fiefs ascholar, and Is as closoa stu- dent to-day as he was when .he was strug- gling us wboy for the means to obtain an education. Ho hns never censed to be a stu- dent, and never applied hlinself so vigorous- ly te the acquisition of the knowledge needed in his public service as ho has sluce he frat entered Congress ln Decembor, 1865, astranger unknown to thosearound him, and unfamilar with polltles ‘and with legislation, As a master of political knowledge, as a master of pollticul economy aud social sciance, he has no superior and but few equals among the public men of thecountry, In point of {ntollectual abitty and thorough knowl edge of the sclence of government, Mr. Garfield appronches nearor the standard of Danicl Webster thon any of tho mon at present on the public stage. His abliilty, his thorough study, and his long practical experience in polltieal matters, glve an assurance to tha country thut he willcarry to tho Presidential office n anind superior because of Its natural quallil- eations and training to any that has pro- ceded, lm for many years, He will bo a President able in cyory senso to fill the oflica in a way that the country will like to quo it filled,—with ability, learning, ox- perlence, and integrity, _ Gen, Garileld owes hia nomination to no intrigues or combinations, no partnorahip or wMjvtlon with syndicates or bosses, Ho was selected because of the high esteem en- tertained for hlm by the Republican masses of the country, and because of ils freedom from all auch combinations, IIe was ns fenridss in the Convention in his defense of the right of: district representation and of freo voting as he owas jn Con- gress in dofengo of Executive freedom from Congressional coercion, His dofensa of the West Virginia delegates from Conk- ling’s attempted expulsion of them was masterly; hly speech nominating Scoretary Sherman captured tho Convention by Sts ability. ils manty rosistanes ta all the schomes of tho ‘I'riunvirs marked hin es a natural leader of popular rights, Moreover, he was known to the country as having placed hiuself on record in the House of Lepresontatives tn faver of the followlng resolution, adopted In 1876; ano“preceaane Oatntuliahed by Weahtagion arn other Presidents of the United States tn rotirin from the Presidential office after tholr secuud term has become by universal concurrence jut of our republican system af governuiwnt, that auy departure frou this tino-honured custem would be unwise, unpatriotig and fraught with poril to our free Institutions, ‘This record of Gon, Garflold wilt oxplalu, if any oxplanation be necessyry, why Conk- ng, Cameron, ant Logan, represonting thu third-terw faction, voted to the lust mo- mont, aud to the lust vote they could coerce, tho sulld third-torm vote of the Convention, (iurfold’s namInation was made In spite of aud in brave and manly deflauco of that face ton and {ts rulers. ‘That Gon, Garield will be elected, we have ho question.

Garflelit was the coming man, His appearance in the hall has always been the oceaston of the most hearty and unanimous reception from both the Conven- ton and tho vast crowds that have assembled to wateh its proceedings, He was not a “dork horse” In the usual sense of the phrase, Iis naine appeared in every ballot that was taken, and the peoplo were not un- prepared tor the rush that was made to him at the critical moment. Tho Grant men went Into the Convention yesterday morning with a program that was shrewdly devised, and might havo been dangerous If it had been poasibte to carry it out, ‘The plan was thatsome of the Southern delegates should go over to Windom with a double object—viz.: (1) ‘That such changes should bring about confusion, which should enable the Grant managers to bring in all the stray delegntes; and (2) that thoy aimlght thus prepare an casy way for certain Southern delegates to go to Grant by way of Windom, ‘This plan of ao- tion was defeated, however, by the Minneso- ta delegates, under the ndvice of the Btaine men, On tho very first ballot taken yester- ay three of the Minnesota delegntes went to Binine, and therenfter the defection from Windom in his own Stnte increased, . This change naturally prevented the execution of the Grant program. ‘There was no longer any excuse for othor delegutes to go to Win- dom when his own Stato had deserted him. IC it had not deen for this prompt adaptation to tho situation in the Minnesota delegation tho struggle might have been greatly con- fused and prolonged, though there would have been no difference in the final result so far ns Gen. Grant's candidacy was con- cerned, Gen. Garfield first assumed formidable pro- portions ns a candidate when he received sixteen votes of Wisconsin on the thirty- fourth ballot. Massachusetts had endeav- oredon tho first ballot of tho morning, and on succeeding ballots, to work up Sherman’s ehances by giving him Hyenty-one votes, nineteen of which had previously been cast for Edmunds, But this effort in behalf of tho Secretary of the Treasury found no re- sponse, and made no material change, Wis- consin had been persistently voling one for Grant, seven for Blaine, three for Sherman, and nine for Washburne. , When sixteen of these votes were announced for Garfield, there was a stir of apprehension that the be- elnning of the end had been reached, On the next ballot, the thirty-fifth, Indiana cnst twenty-nine ballots for Garficld, and then even the dullest began to seo the hand of destiny pointing to the modest man who sat in a back seat of the Ohio delegation, Before this ballot was taken, Garfield mado a point of order that he could not properly be voted for since ho had not been put in nomination; but the Chairman ruled against him. When, on the thirty-sixth and last bal- lot, Connecticnt gave 11 votes to Garfteld, there was a ritsh on the floor of the Conven- tion. Llurried consultation and feverish ox- eltement showed that the crisis hind been reached, Whon Iowa, which had been un- flinching in its support of Binine, enst its solld vote for James A. Garfield, it amounted toa formal notles that tho Binine men had decided to accept him. ‘This was made cor- tain a few moments later when Mr. Halo east the vote of Maino for the Ohio man, It thon became merely a question whether Garfickt could bo nominated on that bailot,—the antl-Grant delegates In some of the States that came first inthe call having cast thelr votes as they had beon vot- ing before, ‘This doubt was set nt rest the very moment 18 votes for Garfleld were enst by Wisconsin, A thousand peoplemust have been keeping tally, for an irrepressible shout went up from the Convention and tho specta- tors tho moment the Wisconsin vote was an- nounced on tho last ballot, It was a good work, well done, Tho Blaine men and the Sherman men acted with o promptness and a warmth which did credit to thelr judgment and their hearts, Tho re- sult was received with a universal gratificn+ tion which attested the complete unification of the Republican party. Garfleld 1g a balm for all tho wounds recelved In the alx days’ strife, i A TRUE REPUBLICAN VICTORY, Of the many Republican victories and _tri- umphs ifn its history, from the day in May twenty years ago when If nominated Abra- ham Lincoln, {t has galned nothing more glo- rious and magnificent than that accomplished yesterday at the National Convention, Words niust {all to describe its far-reaching conse- muonces, ItisItko the suppression of tho Tobvellion and the abolition of slavery,—a vic~ tory over Insolunt usurpation, and tho eman- elpation of ‘the Republlean party from ao tralldgn that threatened tho annihilation of free thought, freo action, free speech, and frea voting. ‘Tho Republican party in Natlonal Conven- tion has deposed tho aclf-conatituted propriotors of the party, It has stripped tho ‘Triumvirs of tholr solf-appolnt ed powers; 16 has declared that tho Republiean party is a party of tho people, by the peopl, and for the people, and not a mere organization of slaves to be manipu- Jated and (lisposed of by a closa corporation of office-brokera and office-mongers. It has dleclared tho Republican party to bo n Nae tlonal organization representing the Repub- Nenns of the Nutlon, and not a mere aggre- gution of voters subordinate to the will and: tlrection of a fow individuals, It has do clared that the Republican party ts free and Independent of Roscos Conkling, Don Can- eron, and John A, Logan, ard thot declara- tlon has been emphasized by tho overwhelm: Ing repudiation of the unit rule, the dootring of *fustructions,” and afirmuncoof the right of the Ropubllcans of the Unton to mest and appolnt thelr own delegates to represont. thelr own Congressional districts in their own National Conventions. Liberties thus won and thus wrung from these usurpors will nover be surrondered, But the great victory of tho Republican party fs rendered more complete by tho annihilat- ing blow by which third-termlsm was forever ailonced in American polltics, Never was there a more impudent, arrogunt demand for the overthrow of one of the most tiine-hon- ored and sacred traditions af the Republic than this attempt to uso the Republican party to establish a third term a4 a possible instity- tion of the American pouple. Never had the Republican party © severer test of ita patriotlum than in the struggle wlth the cngineera that advised {6 to override the National history and confer upon aman of today honors which George Washington had refused because perllous to Natlonat Nberty. In the rejecuon of another terin of Grant, and ju tha defeat of tho Bosaea under whose patronage he waa pre gonted aga third-term candidate, the Repub- ean party gained a victory for ttaelf and for the country which will pass into history as a Nations) judgment of reprobation and con- dumnation which no other men will ever ae tempt to reverse, ts . The action of the Re wil} bo Lalled by tha A: a naante as‘ Repnd gan Conven tion. glorious vindleation of National purity and intelligence. 1b has placed the irremovablo ban of condemnation npon an absence of In- tegrity, uvon all schemes and combinations of fraud and corruption by men in oMec, and upon all partnership with frauds on the Gov- ernment by officials with men out of office, and upon all protection by Exccutive power of convicted and unconvicted plunderors of tho Nattonal revenues, Tho Republican party, while extendingcharlty and silence to the past, has In the most emphatic and de- termined manner refused to condone for tho past by a renowed aMliation with thase who have betrayed thor trust and scandatized the National honor. TO GEN. GRANT'S FRIENDS. Gen. Grant's partisans {1 the Convéntion re- mained true to him to tho Inst, though they were doomed to defeat from the moment the Convention was called to order, Ifts column was untlinching. ls vote was 804 on tho first ballot; it closed nt 306, Ills following fed o forlorn lope gallantly. ‘The peculiar character of Gen. Grant's candidacy rendered this uncompromising ad- herence almost, necessary. The delegates who had pledged themselves to Grant’s fort- unes hind done so in the face of a cherished precedent and indefinnceofan unprecedented opposition within the party. Some of the loaders felt themselves personally responstblo for Grant’s appearance as a candidate for a third term. Teneo they were all bonnd to attest, at least, their own sine cerity, and this could only be done by the un- wavering support they gavo their candidate. ‘Tho friends of other enndldates were not em- Darrassed In tho same manner. Though Alivided In preferences, they were united in representing Republican constituencies op- posed to the third-term issue. All the others except Grant's supporters wera free atany tino to combine In tho selection of any candidate whose nomination would guarantes the hare monizing of all factions. Tho Grant men nlone were bound to stand firm because of the excoptional position they occupled, and they wore truo to tho Inst to the distinguished inan whom thoy had misled into an unfort- unate struggle, into which, loft to himself, he would nover have entered. In the rejection of Gen. Grant as a candi- dats, a great, and we now belleye a Tasting, prineiple of American Institutions hng been vindleated, Thora has been no fight against Gen. Grant personally In all this bitter strife, Many persons interested in his candidacy have sought to spread tho impression that Tue Tunvse and othor Republican journals opposed to n violation of the unwritten Con- stitution of tho Nation have “abused’? Gen. Grant pending tho contest. So far as Tue ‘Tninune Is concerned, thore is not even the semblinnce ‘of truth In this charge, and we believe that the honest frionds of Gen. Grant will acyuitit of the unfounded Smputation’ now that the long agony is over. Tur ‘nwuNe has nnde an earnest and persistent campatgn ogalnst the effort to impose the third-term [ssue upon the Repub- Mean party In deftance of its best judgmont and real sympathies. Tue Trmunx has: combated and denounced the methods to which * Bosses” resorted in order to carry their point. Tum Trimune has exposed tho embnrrassments which the Republican party would encounter with Gen. Grant as a third- term candidate. Tom ‘Trinune has depre- cated tho return of certain sellish and schem- ing men to power, which would have been implled by Gen, Grants election for a third time after having secured the nomination by the ald of sume of the very men who dis- graced his second Administration. But Tim ‘PRinUNE has never sought to snatch a single | jewel from tho crown of famo which Gen, Grant so justly wears,as the conqueror of tho Rebellion’ and thé first cltizen of tho American Republic, Tur Trmuxe has maintained from the yory beginning of this struggle for Grant’s nombnation that certain men who had at- tached thomselyes to his candidacy—some of them from selfish motives and others from misguided enthusissm—were misleading him. It has warned these mon that they wore betraying thelr hero and the country’s hero Into « false position, The result has proved that ‘Tue Trmuns was right, It ts, fortunate for Gon. Grant, for the pinco he holds in history, and for tho ultimate welfare of the country, that the strong senseand keen patriotism of the Republican party have ren- dered it, unnecessary to submit. tho thisd- torm Issue to tho pcopl THE CHAIRMAN, Now that the Convention has ended {ts tony and arduous labors, it is a cratefuland graca- ful duty to pay a tribute of acknowledg-' ment, In which every one will join, to tho fon. Georgo F, Hour, the Chairman, for the manner in which ho presided over its tedions deliberations. Uo occupied n very trying position, as ho not only had to direct the Convention, but to control the ‘Inrgeat audience that has over assembled at a Na- tlonal Convention in this country, and an audience which was continually swept by. pasalon, and at tlmes almost ungovernable with excitement. Laboring under extreme and unusual diffcultics, he nover failed to porform hfs duties not only Ine graceful and dlgnified mannor, but with the utmost: patience, coolness, firmness, and clearness. Ils decisions wore unquestionod, and wero received with universal consent and with 0 disposition to pay reverence to the vonorable and distinguished Chatrinan, Ho stecred the Convention with oven helm, through its storms of faction, Its moments of! exoltement, and Its oitburats of cnthualasm, treating every man with constant courtesy, and never allowing hia sense of rightand jus- tice to be biasod, Such ability is rave, and doserves recognition, capectally when exor- elsed with such Impartiality and fearlesnoss insuch trylng clreumstances, There wero pertods when, with a worker man atthe helm, overythtng might have been thrown Into confusion, but Mr. Hoar seomul to thoroughly comprehend the temper of tho multitude and to control it. For auch a mnstorly excoution of hia duytios he deaoryes the heartiast recognition, THE MAN ON THE TOP SEAT YELLS, It wasa bright, choery morning for the close of the Convention, and tho man ollmbed to his seat with as much enthusiasm and Macrity as If st wore tho first tlmo he was making the ascent, and took to his board and sawdust quite ag comfortably as the Speaker ta his: padded chair. ‘The band was moro observaiit of the proprietics, for it quit opera Bohemlan Girl” and other soothing’ stra, ‘Thoro was a commendable spirit of punctu- ality, and for the first thue Alr, Conkling got to his sont before prayers, and thus had the benefit of clergy to sustain him during tho subsequent obsequics of the Third ‘Term and the explosion of the machine, which loft 300 dead and dying viotims among ita débris. The balloting commenced promptly. It was tho twenty-ninth: Tho night before the secretarial pendulum had stopped at 807 for Grant, 379 for Blaine, 9} for Sherman, 85 for Washburne, 8t for Edmunds, 10for Windom, and 3 for Garfield, There was one material change on the twenty-vinth ballot, that of Mawauchusetts, which pad changad front and cast 81 votes for Sherman, crowding his vote up to Méand pushing Edmunds down to 12, On the thirtieth, Sherman gained four more votes, taken from Washbyrne and Kdmunds, and Gen, Phil Sherldan’s dark horse hove ia bouffe and discoursed numbers from “ Tha: ‘of this avoret ne; sight through theappreciation of a Wyoming tlelegate, which resulted In a rousing ova: tion to tho General, allowed by the Chair In compliment to the “Mlustrions soldier.” On the thirty-first ballet there was no material alferation of tha situation. On the day beforo,n Now York delognto had questioned tho existonce of the delega- ‘ton from New Mexico, It was a sort of retributivo justice that ono of thn Now Mox- feo delegates voted for Roscoe Conttling, =a complimant which tho gamecock Boss rocelved with n grim smile. ‘The seat of the “top man” began to grow hard, and once more the Sceretary’s call as- sumed ita oltl monotony and dreary sing- song. Tho thirty-second and thirty-third ballots droned tholr way along and the neigh- bors of tho man on the top row of the gnl- leries began to make preparations for a nap, leaving orders to bo called when anything spoelal occurred. Something speclal did occur on tho thirty-fourth ballot. There was a fittle cloud no bigger than n man’s hand coming up in the direction of Wisconsin, with a flash of lightning In it that Jooked foreboding. She had given Unefield 16 votes, taking 6 of Dlalno’s, 3 of Sherman's, 9 of Washburne's, the other 3 going to Grant, ‘Tho man on the top row woke up his nelgh- bors nnd thoy began to clear their throats, On tho thirty-fifth ballot, the cloud in- ereased, Indiana put in 27 solid votes for Garfield, Maryland added 4, Misstssipp! 1, North Carolina i, Pennsylvanin ite 1 vote which had stuck for Jeemes from the first, and Wisconsin repented its 16, Garficld had bounded 83- yotes, and showed a clean score of 50, Ho became a“storm-contro” of Interest, nnd delegates crowded about him. At last the decks were cleared for tho thirty-sixth ballot and last brondside of yotes. Connecticut led off with itforhim, all she had butone, Reluctant Georgia gave himt, {linols appeared with % which should have been 43, Indians threw ina broadside of 29, every shot but one. Iowa plumped her 23 solid shots. Kansas gave him 6, Kentucky 3, and Loulstana 8, Gallant Maine tendered her 14 “Plumed Knight” votes to him, and thore were symp- toms ofa yoll. From that point on he swept the States ono after the othor till New York was roached, and Conkling had to concede lum the 20 votes which he could not control. From th{fs point on the avalanche continued until the vole of Wisconsin was east solidly for him, making 379, and nominated him for President, 3 Then the groat multitude arose and cheered, howled, ronred, yelled. Thoy had tho right. ‘The fight was won, Third-term dragon wos dend. ‘Tho “machine” was smashed. Shout after shout shook tho building, Tho cheers from 10,000 throats ront the alr. ‘The loud- mouthed cannon outside boomed responsive roars, It was a grand ‘and magnificent spec- tacle, the uprising and shouting of that vast erowd. There was no restraint, no mechanio- ul enthusiasm this time. So every one did what ocourred to him as the best, And it occurred to some to yell, to some to hurrah, to soma. to sing, to somo to whistle, and to all to wave overything that was wavable,— fans, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, canes, boots, flags; nowspapors, and tally sheets, Thon the band struck np with the “Red, White, and Blue,” and the vastcrowd again cheered ; with the “StarSpangled Banner,” and the audience skouted; with “Yankeo Doodle,” and the concourse scronmed: with “Tho Battle Cry of Freedom,” ‘and the congregation sang, 10,000 voices in unison, and thelr voice. was ns the volco of many waters, rising in great waves of song, overy wan and woman singing “for all they wore worth,” nnd as If they were expecting immedinte engngement, As n concert, it was n perfect success,—glorious In ite precis- ion, its emphasis, Its expression, showing what music can bo-when tho soul Is in it. And then the leadors of the delegations took thelr State banners and massed -thom over the head of Garfield, testifying thoir unani- nous support, the banners of Wisconsin and Indiana towering above all the others by right. The crowd took o rest of four sec- ond, and then went ob It again Incheor upon cheer. For fully twenty minutes it indulged in the expression of its feolings and delight and gave vent toitssatisfaction and joy, while threo men, Conkling, Cameron, and Logan, sat like mummica swathed in their cote. ments, contemplating the fragments of tho machine. “ : At last order was restored and tho roll-call proceeded. Tho Terrltorles returned thelr two yotes each for Garileld, and, the Chair man ‘announced the historic record: Garfeld, 800; Grant, 800; Bining, 43; Sherman, 3; Woshburne, 5 The inultitude, haying had a few minutes’, reat, ngaln shook the building with. cheer upon cheer, until {6 was tired, out. The great danger was avorted and tho Republican party was saved. Beforo the ovation closed the man upon tho “top seat” addod his. individual yell, and it was not o little one, to the great chorus, There was something at Inst to yell for, Tho ‘ofllcia} announcement of tho Chairman proclaimed the death of the third- term dragon, the smashing of. the “ma- chino,” the upsetting of tha Bosses, tha rea- cuo of the’ great Republican party from the destruction which threatened ita oxistence, and tho man on the top bouch yelled once more. WE cannot but express the opinion that the nomjnation of Mfr. Arthur, of Now York, was a mistake, It 1s nelther!n harmony with the platform nor tho head ofthe tickot, Thora is the conaolation, however, that the office is ‘one of total insignificance except in a remote contingancy, The oxcuge for such a nomina- tion can only be found in the fnct that in the tenction following ‘the glorious dolivorence from Imponding evil of the most calaml- tous aliaraster, tho hearts of the dulegates, overflowing, with gratitude, ylalded so. far os to offer’ kindness to the defeated and prostrated conspirators, ‘Tho nomination of ‘Vice-President followed 80 soon after that of Gen, Garfield that there was little time for reflection, and too many of |" the delegutes, 1n thelr aympathy for the van- quished and In thelr hurry ta go home, did what they would not have done had they taken a night to think over the mattor, Mr, Arthur Is reputed to be porsonally a gentio-. man of good character and fair ability; but, unwilling to pasa n hasty Judgment on what 6eems to have been an Ill-advised proceed- Ing, wo Joave the subject for discussion here- after, Waairnaton, June 7,—-Speelat to Chicago Times—Slmon Vaineron, the veteran political managor, loft this ony. this afternoon at ft o'olock for Chicago, “The Grant forces will be held en bioo until after his arrival. the Convention will Vonorable ex-Sdnator’s aren when Grants ou iwoon Grant and Sherman.

They nro both deepstudonts of politica, sctenco,langungos, and literature; both practiced’ statesmen; both men of strong moral convictions. Garfield has not yot renohed the full maturity of his powors, He ts a growing man. In the midst of bis press- ing occupations he bus found time for the ac- quirement of a vast fund of general informa- tion, Jf ho bod been otherwise piaced, ho might have been to Amerienn science what Huxioy has beon to English sclonce, Possessing’ unusual breadth of mlud, and the power of pop- ulnrizing his knowledge, he could both collect and disseminnto striking facts in any depurt- ment of human activity that ho might explore.
