HOW THE NOMINATIONS ARE
RECEIVED.

There is perfect avalanche of enthusl-
as.ic responses to the nominations OF the
Republican Convention Of the 18Th before
US. Such unanimity and ardor, where a
new combination Of par les has been effect
ell, was never before seen. We are OBJ
Tired from the immense mass before US to
make our extracts very brief, but they will
be sufficient to show the position they occu-
py on this great issue.
. [Fron the Clinton Republican,
Republican State Nominations.
We this week place at the head OF our
columns the ticket nominated by the Re-
publicau State Convention, which assem-
bled in Columbus on Friday last. With
the exception of Mr.. Chase we are highly
pleased with the ticket, and do not believe
that could have been much improved.

As to Mr.. Chase, the nominee for Gov
ernor, our readers know that we would
have preferred the nomination of Brinker-
hotf, Swan, or somo other man whose po-
litical history in some respects would have
been less excepiionable. But the Conven-
ton, after much labor and delberation.
saw fit to nominate him, by a respectable
majority, and we therefore feel bound, i'll
good faith, to abide its decision.

Whatever may have been the anteced'
ants of Mr.. Chase, there is no question
but that he represents the strong Anti-Ne.
braska feeling of the country, and viewed
in this light, we do not see how any one
who is sincere in his convictions upon this
question, and who honestly desires to see
the Missouri Compromise line restored car
fail to vote for Mr.. Chase as well as the
rest ofthe ticket. The question for de
cision at the approaching election is
whether Ohio will approve or condemn
the Nebraska Swindle and the Kansas
outraged" Every other question is of tri
fling importance compared with it, and We
do not believe that when the election
comes round, any considerable number o
Republicans will be found quarreling a
bout minor differences, when so much il
at stake in the grand issue. We have be
lieved ever since the election of last fal
that a very large majority Of Ohio are sin
cerely opposed to the present Administra
ton, which seems to have been lending al
its inauencessand power to the encourage
ment and spread of slavery, and we conf
IDENTIFY believe that the majority for the Re
publican ticket this year will not fall shor
Of the tremendous majority of last year
Clinton county gave majority of 1875
this year we predict she will do as we'll.

the position Of spoilsmen2
The spoils party has already too Ion
