OPINIONS oHTHE DEMOCRATIC PRESS

Such are the men the democracy
have selected for their standard bear
ers in the contest of 1914. Can there
be doubt of their triumphant cleo
ton? We have none, nor do we think
there is one of the forty six hundred
democrats of Allegheny county who
does not feel in his heart, that on the
4th Of March, 1845, the country will
rejoice in the elevation of these distin-
guished citizens to the two highest Of
fees in the gift Of the people,
JAMES X. POLK of Tennessee, for
President;
GEORGE NJ. DALLAS Of Pennsyl-
vania for Vice President,

racy of the Union, and its inspiring cch-
oes will lead the people to one OF the
most glorious victories that was ever
achieved over the frauds and falsehoods

THE NOMINATIONS.

The nominations of the Baltimore
Democratic National Convention ap-
pear to please every democrat with
W"hcm we have conversed. So far as
the "firm little band" of Wheeling de-
mocracy is concerned, we believe there
is not a dissenting voice. The respec-
tive friends of the various candidates,
whose claims were advocated previous
to the Convention, have.all been disap-
pointed; yet all are rejoiced when they
reflect on the fact that the nomina-
tons have united the whole party.
Never have we seen so general an ap-
proval of the nomination of candidates
for any office. The prevailing senti-
ment now is, that the democracy have
a ticket on which every democrat of
every section can bestow his suffrage.

OUR CANDIDATE.

We hasten to lay before our readers
the result of the Baltimore convention.
it will be seen that the delegates were
unable to agree unanimously upon any
of the candidates named prior to the
Convention for the Presidency, and
therefore united unanimously upon a
new man, Gov. James X. Polk, of
Tennessee, than whom no more unex-
ceptionable man could have been selec-
ted-whose political character shines
pre-eminently among the statesmen of
the nation--the personal and devoted
friend ofGen. Jackson during his whole
political life, and in whom the old Old
Hero found giant mind in graphing

political power.

New YORK, JUNE A, 1874.
This is the day, the like of which has not been
seen or feh by the democracy for years. l have
withdrawn for a few moments (for the purpose of
dropping you few lines) from one of the largest,
most enthusiastic, and exciting political assemble
ges ever attended, called together for the purpose
of ratifying the nominations made at Baltimore
for president and vice president of the United
States In point of numbers, it exceeds any mon
ster meeting of 1910 that l witnessed; and for
union, harmony and enthusiasm, it exceeds the
power of pen to describe. But one feeling appears
to actuate the democracy; but one thought appears
to govern their action; but one hope urges them
on to duty--the almost certain hope Of success in
the coming contest. Thirty or forty thousand
sturdy democrats assembled in the Park at five
O'Clock, p m. to ratify the dongs Of the national
convention; and that firm, consistent and unfnch-
ing democrat, Campbell P. White, was called
upon to preside. He was assisted by "a vice pres
idents-forming altogether an array Of democratic
talent seldom equalled.
A staging, about sixty feet in length, and about
twenty-five wide, was erected in front of the city
hall, to accommodate the officers, musicians,
speakers, &c. This was decorated with flags
representing every State in the Union, together
with the "lone star of Texas" 1t was also sur
rounded with portraits of Jefferson, Jackson, Van
Buren, and the President that is to be--JAMEs X.
