Banner, which caused a renewal of the expressions
of enthusiasm.
After the adoption of the resolutions, several
gentlemen we're called to the floor and addressed
the convention. Space requires US to but briefly al
hide to their remarks.
Mr.. j. A. Trimble thanked the convention for
the warm expressions in favor Of his brother. He
knew that the Governors heart and soul was in
this movement, and though he had no idea that he
would be mentioned in connection with the office
of Governor, he (the speaker) did not doubt but
the Governor, like Wayne at Stoney Point, was
ready to lead the "forlorn hope on to victory or
death. Immense cheering
Mr.. James Stanberry, Of Newark, made an able
Speech of nearly an hours duration. He dwelt
mostly upon the political character of Chase and
the abolitionists, denouncing them enemies Of
| the Union
e. P. Norton, Esq, of Cincinnati, made brief
but effective address He could not conceive how
the Wing press Of the State could support Chase,
who they have been denouncing for years, and who
was the enemy of Clay. He spoke of Governor
Trimbe as a man worthy to lead in this emergency,
and after beautifully abiding to the son Of Old
Tippecanoe, said that he had no doubt but j. Scott
Harrison would sustain the nomination this day
made. He wished Ohio not only to rebuke the
violation of the Missouri Compromise, but also
Abolition incendarism.
Trad Kelly, Esq, of Cuyahoga, made few good
humored remarks, speaking highly of Governor
Trimbe, whom he has known for years. Chase
had widowed too much in the filth of all parties
to suit him. The true-hearted men Of the Reserve
would rally around the nomination this day made.
He said that the nomination of Chase was but the
beginning of movement by which Joshua R. Gid.
dings hoped eventually to be elected to the United
States Senate from Ohio.
General Geiger, of Columbus next took the
floor, and made happy effort, sometimes calling
forth bursts Of merrimeut and again, arousing the
convention to strong manifestations of enthusiasm.

rabbits, pheasants and other game had been thrown
into pot for nice stew. just it Is about cook
ed, skunk is thrown in, which infects the whole
stew There was a skunk on the Fusion ticket
one that smet aloud, and one that the people
would not touch He could not swallow the mess
The Fusionists had dared those who could not
swallow Chase to bring out n man who would sac
rifce himself to hsemergency. They had brought
him out and he every inch man. The speaker
said there good feeling among the people of
the State, and all that was wanted was few men
