Show The Sacramento Record (Republican) (Republi-can) presumes that "this nomination renders the re-election of Grant a fore-ttone fore-ttone conclusion." It nevertheless says that the personal character of the nominee is unimpeachable, and it protests pro-tests that it does not underestimate his strencth. Fnder possiblo contingencies contin-gencies he may make a good run. The Sacramento Be (Republican) doubts not that Greeley will withdraw in favor of Grant if the Democrats take tho field as a party. Such a course by the Democrats would "insure "in-sure to Grant an election, almost a walk-over." The Sacramento Journal (German Republican) speaks highly of Greeley, and says he will be supported by many Republicans. It thinks the Democrats will stop playing "hide and go seek," and take the field under leaders of their own selection. The Journal betrays .great alarm at the prospect. I ihe Alta Cabjorma (Republican), that persistently ignored the Cincinnati Convention during its animated sittings, sit-tings, now speaks out. It thinks Greeley anticipated this Republican revolt re-volt several years ago and that he has been plotting for a long time to secure the oltice for which he is now named. According to this extraordinary journal, jour-nal, Greeley's signing Jefferson Davis' bailbond, and his recent tour through a part of the South were part of "a determined and well calculated" scheme to get himself into the White House. But, says the Alta, "to deny him strength before the people would be idle. There are certain localities in whuih he will run well." Tho Aha thinks there will be a Democratic ticket. Tho San Francisco Bulletin (Republican) (Repub-lican) thinks that "with a ringing and aggressive platform, and the rallying cry of Reform, there is every prospect that Uoracc Greeley will be a formidable formida-ble candidate as opposed to the administration." admin-istration." It further declares that the Cincinnati platform "embodies so much of the intelligent publio sentiment senti-ment of tho country, touching publio ' issues, that even if a candidate were otherwise weak, he would be relatively strong when backed by this declaration of public policy," All this will not prevent the Bulle- tin from vigorously supporting Grant. 1 It doesn't like him a bit, but it will urgo his "claims" as a business matter. Tho San Francisco Chronicle (Republican) (Re-publican) thinks it "a most strange proceeding." It also thinks Greeley would wiihdraw in favor of Grant Lf there is a Democratio candidate. As between Greeley and Grant the result would bo doubtful. Tho San Francisco Cal (Independent (Independ-ent with a Republican editor) thinks the nomination strong, and that Greeley, Gree-ley, if supported by the Democrats, would bo cleoted, but that Grant would probably bo elected if the Democrats put a candidate in the field. The San Francisco Examiner (Dem-cratic) (Dem-cratic) regards the nomination as strong, and urges a rejection of the passive policy and the nomination of a Demo-1 cratio ticket. The San Francisco Evening Post (Independent) hurrahs for Greeley in a long double-leaded leader. It says his nomination "definitely settles the character of the approaching presidential presiden-tial contest. Of all those whose names wero brought before that convention, there was none so widely known ; none whose record is such complete guar anty of his integrity of purpose, and none in broader sympathy with the the people themselves, as is proved by his whole careor, nor in whom the people themselves have so much hearty confidence." The Marysville Appeal (Republican) ''awaits with patieqee" (not very much patience) Democratic developments. develop-ments. It congratulates itself that Grant's success is assured, "whichever way the Democracy may determine to move." The Marysville Standard (Independent) (Inde-pendent) says that if the Democrats support Greeley earnestly and enthusiastically enthusi-astically (an enormous "if") his chance of success will be fair perhaps as good as general Grant's. (Great Ciesar!) G'he Oakland News (Republican) says: "If the Democrats nominate their own candidates, Grant will walk over the course ; but if they conclude to support Greeley, then a close and bitter political contest is unavoidable." The Oakland Transcript (Democratic) (Demo-cratic) urges tho indorsement of Greeley Gree-ley by the Democratic National Convention. Con-vention. It declares that if the Democrats Demo-crats mako straight party nominations they will turn almost certain victory into absolute defeat. The San Jose Mercury (Republican) says that Greeley must get the entiro Democratic vote to succeed, and that he cannot do this. The Pacific Appeal (negro paper) actually thinks thcro will be a National Democratic Convention 1 It will not be disappointed.
