EDITOR LEADER:-In your paper of this morn
ing find the names Of several distinguished men
proposed for Senatorial Delegates to the Chicago
Convention from Ohio.
Permit me to propose for the same purpose the
name Of Jacob Miller. attorney at law from this
place, Mr.. Miller "a German by birth) has zeal.
ously and with great success for several years Ia
bored for the Republican cause, and is well &C.
quAiuted with the political views Of the German
born citizens.
As it cannot be denied that in most all the
States (the New England States perhaps exeepted)
where the Republican party has majority, or ez-
pscts to get majority at the coming presidential
election such majority is actually obtained, or its
attainment rendered more confident, and the ma
Jority greatly enlarged by the German vote.
think 1t is not more than just to give them one
Senatorial Delegate from this State to besto'd up
on them an opportunity to make know to the
Convention in Chicago, under what eircumstan-
ces the Republican party can rely upon the most
cordial assistance Of the German population in the
coming presidential election, and under what cir
eumstances the Republican party would not be
warranted in relying on large German Republ-
can vote 1 do not ask the appointment of Mr.
Miller as Delegate for the exclusive benefit Of the
German born citizens, but urge his appointment
fOt the benefit and good success Of the Republican
party atlrrge.
A GERMAN REPUBLICAN.
