POLITICAL NEWS.

POLITICS have crowded out nearly all other news from the papers for some time past. We are hoping for a rest. The Republican nomination has been made. Never in the history of the Republic was there so much bickering by the friends of rival candidates in any party, as there has been up to this nomination. All interests seem to harmonize in Gen. Garfield. He has the faculty of being decided and outspoken in his convictions without making enemies of his opponents, which clearly Mr. Blaine has not. Had it not been for the third-term scare Gen. Grant would doubtless have been the nominee as the first 35 ballots showed. We regret that the people go so wild over-politics, but we fear there will never be any improvement.
