TILE VOICE OF OHIO.

Translated from the Cincinnati Volksblstt.
The last State Convention OF Ohio held Tor the cleo
ton of Senatorial Delegates 20 the Republican National
Convention was of great Importance 50 far as it ex-
pressed the sentiments of the people of Ohio, IN regard
to the candidate for the Presidency.
Although the State has three or four men in her
midst who make claims for the eanddacyo the highest
Office of the Union and although every one of them
possesses great sbifies and many warm friends, Mr.
Chase nevertheless, by vote of $50 against ~ votes
was deca ed as the choice of the Convention for the
Presidency.
Whatever may be said Of the machinery Of conven-
tions and however cunning eeconeering may be done
in favor of candidate the other yet cannot be
denied that, in the overwhelming vote given by tie
Convention the voice of the people was clearly ex
pressed and the wishes of the masses were truly
fected. In former article we referred to the political
sentiments of the people, sSthey have been developed
since 1916, upon which principles not only the political
movements SINCE that tine based, but also the
origin of the Republican party Mr. Chase stood ar the
head OF these movements, led Them and gave them
life: ard by bis strcng hand and skill al leadership,
maintained the field under the most adverse clrcud-
Stances. The people recognize III him. TO certain de-
gree the embodiment OF The great lded Free SOL for
Iee Misrepresentation of The tree Territories TO free
labor" Ii H. therefore, not Surprising that Mf. Chase,
By such an overwhelming majority, has been recon-
nended to the Chicago Convention as the Republican
standard bearer of the State OF OHIO
The woke ofthe people of Ono, 80 clearly expressed
in this action, announces az the time the position
which this State will by her delegates AT the
National Convention. They will iuppor, Mr.. Chase
as long there is ray of hope for his nomination
They will lose no opportunity 20 enforce his claims,
and use all honorable for the recognition of the

We want wOInOut politl 1an, or one who IN The last
hour embrace Republican principles and condescends
10 give PLEDGES and assudDce5 Tor the sake OF honOr
ard promotion: we should have a tried and prominent
Republican Statesman, who, free from Jesuca
cGuee- free from the reproaches Of having used his
voice in favor of every corrupt appropriation, stood up
mainly and vigorously in defense of Republican prb-
cples; and who could better answer 81 these claims
than Mr. Chase! His whole life was dedicated 70 the
realization of the great idea of liberty. He worked
under all clroumsnces-even under the greatest dis
couragemenis-so truly and n9by, that his nomination
alone without much Of "A platform, woald suffice.
During the last twelve years he furnished as Senator
in hs United States Serae, and as Governor OF Ohio,
the highest proof OF political wisdom. IL IA generally

DO the Germans recollect how UNANIMOUSLY they were
nsued by Democratic Senator of Indiana ia the
United States Senate. The Infamous insult on the
would perhaps have remained uuauswered, had not
Mr.. Chase then Senator in very able speech ia re-
ply, done justice 10 the Germans. Who does not re-
member his manly bearing in the discussion of the
Kansas Nebraska bill. When Dougas introduced his
plausible scheme INTO the Senate il was Chase who tore
his mask down. With acuteness Of intellect he dis
cerned Immediately the puHctH saiies around which
everything turned, and which still considered the
