The Republican Candidates. JAMES ADRAHAM GARFIELD. Jas. Abraham Garfield, the republican candi- date for President, is not yet forty-nine years of age. He was born at Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, on the 19th of November, 1831. His es were of old New England. and his fathe r, who was one of the earllest in Cuyahoga county, died in 1533, leaving a widow and four children very poorly pro- vided for. James was the youngest child. He led against poverty, and in spite of Up to it acquired a thorough education. tering and canal ing, 100! Bt intervals when he could afford It. When in his 17th year he entered the Geauga seminat at Chester, and subsequently the Eclectic Insti- tute at Hiram. He graduated at Willlams’ Col- lege with high ponors, and then returned to the Institate as a tutor, from which ition he soon rose to beits principal. He juently preached in the pulpit of his denomi- nation, the Christian (or Disciples) church. In 1861 Mr. Garfleld was admitted to the bar, having been previously elected as a republican to the Ohio state senate, Just as he was entering ae the career of lawyer and poli- tician, which he had marked out for him- self, the war call was sounded and he aan ly answered it. He entered the Union army as colonel of the 42d Ohio regiment, and ‘was soon thereafter assigned to the command of a brigade. He distinguished himself as a brave officer in numerous battles, and was, in 1363, brevetted a major general for conspicuous bravery. He served on the court-martial which found Gen, Fitz John Porter guilty, and in the fall of 1863 he was elected to Congress—hi3 commission as a member being sent to him while he was in the field. He has had a distinguished career in Congress, as he had in the army. He has for years been & Jeader of his party in the House, and 1s now universally regarded as the most brilliant and able member of the republican side of the House. He has served continuously in ores since 1863, having held the position of chatr- man of the committees on military affairs, banking ‘and currency and appropriations, respectively. His course as a leading republt- can has been marked with a liberality and broad statesmanship, which sometimes has brought him in contact with the prevatling sentiment of his party in the House. He boldly, during this session, proclaimed himself &%f favor of amending the election laws so as to deprive them of their partisanship, and an amendment proposed by him was adopted by the democrats. Last winter Gen. Garfield was elected U.S. Senator to succeed Mr. Thurmon, whose term expires on the 4th of next Merch, and now, with senatorial honors hanging over him, he 1s made the national standard bearer of his party. Gen. Garfield has grown steadily in favor with the republican party and in public esteem, as well.—each year of his public service marking the increased confidence his political brethren felt in him, until now they have crowned him with the highest honor in their gift. He married Miss Lucretia Randolph, of Hiram, tn 185s, and his domestic life has been a happy one. Mr. Garfield, it may be added, was one of the “visiting statesmen” to Louistana in 1876, and was afterwards a member of the electoral com- mission. CHESTER A. ARTHUR, the nominee for the Vice Presidency, is a New Yorker, about 41 years old. Heis a lawyer by profession, and his first prominence before the country was when he was appointed collector of the customs for the port 0. New York, suc- ceeding Mr. Murphy, who was removed. In turn Mr. Arthur was removed from the New York collectorship by Prestdent Hayes, soon after his accession 10 the presidency, and a prominent New York merchant, Mr. Roosevelt, nominated for the position. Senator Conkling made a vigorous and successful tight for his friend and protegé. Mr. Arthur, and succeeded in preventing the confirmation of his successor. Mr. Arthur’s removal and the appointment of Gen. Merritt to be his successor did not take place until some time afterwaras, and not until after the report of Mr. Jay and his fellow com- molssioners in regard to the need of changes in bos Management of the New York custom use. Press Opinions. WUAT THE NEW YORK PAPERS SAY. The Sun thanks God for the defeat of Grant and the decisive overthrow of the third-term conspiracy. The Times says: ‘There are no bolters, scratehers or independents who bear the repubiican name, who cannot earnestly work and honestly vote for General Garfleld, and there Is no thorough-going republican wao will not accept him as a ft representative of party principles and a faithful depository of the trust.” The Tribune approves with its st judgment and hi artiest enthusiasm the work of the convention, aud commends It to the people. The Herald says: “Wedo not know whether we oaght tocongratulate the repuoll- can party or condole with it.” ‘The Journal o/ Commerce says of the whole list of candida‘es bamed at the convention this is undoubtedly te Strongest nomination that could have been made. PHILADELPHIA OPINIONS. ‘The Inquirer says: ‘This nomination {3 an augury of success.” The Record says: “Mr. Garfield ts aman of ability, and stands well in his party. He is not so able a man nor strony acandidate as Edmunds or Washburne would have been, but he is preferabie to Grant or laine.” The Ledger says: ‘His nomination is entirely fit to be made, and he will make a for- midable candidate.” The Press says: “The Chicago convention has done a work. The nomination of James A. Garfield is not only a strong and wise one in itself, but is singularly well calculated to harmonize the various fac- tions and thoroughly unite the entire republl- can party.” The North American says: “The nomination of General Garfield will nowhere create enthusiasm save in the circle of his per- sonal friends, bat it will everywhere command respect.” BALTIMORE OPINIONS. The Sun says: ‘The moral conveyed in G Garfield's nomination, under the circumstance! is wholesome and reassuring. Like Mr. Hayes, Mr. Garfield got his nomination without a pre- liminary ‘boom,’ and, in addition, his nomina- Hon is the signal defeat of the third-termers.” The American says: “The nomination is a fit- Ung one to mark the Close of the radical and militant period of the republican party, and to signalize the period when, having upborne the government to the height of freedom and na- tonal power it had pledged ttself to accomplish, it settles down upon that new level to the regu- Jar and conservative work of managing the reg- ular and ordinary business of a great nation.” The Gazette says: “Like Mr. Hayes, he comes from Ohio, but unlike the present occupant or the White House he cannot hope to take his seat through fraud and violence, and there 1s very little probability of his securing {t through any other medium.” Society Notes. General Sherman will go to West Point this evening to attend theexaminations. His young- est daughter, Miss Rachel, has been there about ten days, visiting Gen. Schofleld’s family, and will remain some time on Mrs. Sherman and Miss Lizzie will go to St. Catherine's, Can- ada, next Friday, hoping the waters there will be of service to Mrs. Sherman’s health.

Closing Proceedings. EXCITING SCENES AT THE CLOSE OF THE 36th BALLOT. THE TICKET COMPLETED. Garfield and Arthur. Theextra Srar yesterday afternoon, issued irectly after the telegraphic announcement was received here of the nomination of James A. Garfield for President by the national repub- lican convention at Chicago, contained a record of the proceedings up to the time of said nom!- nation. Our second edition gave graphic re- ports of the break for Garfield on the 36th bal- Jot, the scenes which followed the nomination and subsequent proceedings down to the time of taking a recess, ‘The following graphic report of the closing scenes of the thirty-sixth ballot, ending in the nomination of James A. Garfield for President, andthe excitement which followed, are from delayed special dispatches to THE Star, from our correspondent at Chicago, which arrivea * too late for our second edition: Special To The Star. CHIcaGo, June 8, 1: A Scene Never to be Forgotten. West Virginia cast its nine votes for Garield amid thunders of applause. Grant and Garfield were here nearly even, and the excitement was on the increase tillit culminated in 18 votes from Wisconsin. Every man was on his feet but Garfield, and for ten minutes it was a scene never to be forgotten, Alli the banuers of the delegations now got together around him and were waved over his head amid the din from ten thousand throats, without guns firing, loco- motives snes and pandemonium reigning generally. The bands struck up “Hail to the Chief.” By this time the entire convention cen- tered around Garfield, and as each salute was fired on the lake shore outside the roaring was taken up within. Garfield sat all this time tm- movable but pale and dazed. This lasted fir- teen minutes, Phe Decisive Ballot. The next roll calls were the territories and the District of Columbia, who all voted for Gar- field. The 36th ballot was then announced,and Garfield declared the choice (on his 399 votes) of the convention for President, the roll call tlrst being verified by a revision, whirty-sixth Ballot. 3a 2 @ & @ 4 $s & 8 EB 8 g £8 2b Bb 8 States. aS e €¢ oF: BOS e : i: 8 Auabama. 20 is Arkansas. -12 12 California 212 12 Colorado. 6 6 Connectiout..02.012 11 1 6 6 8 s 12 1° S$ WW 38 42007 4 6 5 300-9 22 a w 6 4 4a 3 @ 1 168 8 14 14 16 10 «6 6 2 4 Sr i 8 2 10049 «67 30 1 2 6 6 es Gl 10 10 13 18 7 20 50 20 15 5 4“ 43 6 6 BB Ql 8T 8s 8 4 6 6S Mw 8 15 4 1% 3 «1B 10 10 ra 2 3 19 West Virginia)10 9 1 Wisconsin. 20 20 Arizona. 2 Dakota, Dist. of Columbia. wi ewwwens 8 306 42 5 Another Scene of Excitement. In the silence of the convention, by this time; Garfield began to show signs of excitement, his face was flushed, but otherwise he did not ap- ear nervous, and continued to chat with Gov. nmnison. Conkling and Logan sat in their seats quite oe but otherwise quiet. As soon as the 36th ballot was officially announce another scene of excitement followed. Conkling arose at its end and moved to make the nomina- tion unanimous. Logan seconded it. The Convention Turned Into a Rat- ification Meeting. The convention was at this point turned into avatification meeting, and delegates trom Vir- ginia and Florida pledged the electoral votes of both states to the republican ticket. Mr. Nor- ton, of Texas, pl every republican vote in the south. Gov. Foster then read a dispatch from the oldest members of the House of Rep- resentatives, congratulating Garfield. It was warmly applauded. He also read a dispatch from Sherman, appealing to the Ohio delega- fed to vote for Garfield to insure his nomina- jon. Mr. Conkling had a bad cold and could hardly be heard, but he was glad to see the good tem- r with which the nomination had been made. ie hoped to see the zeal displayed here carry- ing the lance of the republican party into the oe ofthe enemy. [Great and projonged ap. plause.} Mr. Logan briefly said that in union there is strength, and he hoped that whatever strife there had been in this convention there would be peace now, and the party would go into the campaign with unti hands and with as- ‘surance of victory in November. [This was also grected with applause.) Mr. Cameron was called for, but did not re- spond. The chairman of the delegation replied, however, saying one of their delegates had first nominated Garfield, and Pennsylvania would give him the largest vote given any presidential candidate in many years. Mr. Hale, of Maine, pledged the Blaine forces to sup port Garfield to the end. A Notable Fact. It is a nofable fact that Caleb Taylor, of Pennsylvania, first named Garfleid in the con. vention, He first named Taylor in 1852 and one other candidate since then, and in each instance he was nominated anaelected. He always acted independently of his delegates and is an odd character, Great Laughter. General Harrison, of Indiana, who threw the first big vote for Garfield, said he was called upon as the only defeated presidential candidate on the floor of the convention to second Gar- field’s nomination, and to thank the misguided delegate from Pennsylvania who had named him, but who unfortunately had no Staylug qualities. ‘This was recetved with great laugie ter. Then a recess was taken until p. m, How the Nomination is Received. The nomination seems to be very welcomely received in Chicago.
