:, .S not for the interest we have in the welfare

written what we have, and what we will write
hereafter in this article. But we must speak
mr. sentiments plainly and ear!essly.
The main and paramount question with ev
~ Delegate at Baltimore should be- can the
r.o,ninee OF this Convention be elected? And
they should endeavor to nominate some man
TtAtt can be. Let the whole ground be looked
'y.r carlully; examine every part, and see who
ta4 the greatest strength. Is Mr.. Douglas that
tsIa? We think not, and why? Because with
=" the last three years he has estranged him
!. from large number of Democrats, both
:, 'rth and South, Some place hunting friend
- !lis, will say, that makes no difference, he can
'. e.ccted anyhow, because he will draw so
:sely from the opposition. Our opinion Isl
lhat that is great mistake. The opposition
2 pretty we'll united on their nominees; and
' will be necessary fer the nominees Of the
e emocratic party to get every Democratic vote,
s,ll rely on the Democratic party for his
strength. The nominees of the Baltimore Con-
,,1ti1n must not be offensive to any portion OF
section Of the party. If he is he cannot be so
easily elected-that's all. But are there any
.Dymocrats who can unite the whole party and
%.cure the whole strength of the Democracy
and make the caH@aign easier? We answer,
rlsnty Of them. We will name few Of them
DUR own distinguished Ohioan, Hon. VIM.
lien; New York's favorite son. Hon. Daniel
q Dickinson; Kentucky's pride and boast Hon
John G. Breckenridge, and others that we might
name. But either Of these men can secure ev'
cry Democratic vote this fall, and why? Be-
cause they are popular with the party in all sec
ions Of the Union. 1t il o man Of that kind
that we desire should be our standard bearer
in the coming important campaign. With such
man we would be sure Of success, and that
would be one half Of the battle won.
But we believe that even out of these names
there is one who would unite the party better
than any other, that name is William Allen, Of
Ohio. He is known from one end of the Union
to the other, as q man talent, integrity, firm.
ness, and q jealous advocate Of Democratic mea-
sures. His private life and character are above
reproach. Now, we ask in all seriousness, can
not the delegates in the Baltimore Convention
look to him as successful standard bearer in
the coming campaign? And cannot the major

name to that convention as one that all sec
ticns Of the party can unite upon? We have
always considered such men as H. j. Jtwett,
G. w. McCook, s. Scott, T. w. Bartley, j. b.
: Young, T. D. Harris, .-S Woods, j. s. Way,

ton and others Of the Ohio delegation, men whe
care for the success OF the Democratic party -
Cen We be disappointed in them now? Have
they not the same love for the good old Demo
ccratc party that they always have hadl
Are they not willing in this important crisis in
the party to unite upon man who is beloved
by The Democratic party everywhere, and pre-
sent the name Of William Allen, Of Ohio, to
that Convention, IS one who can carry the Dem
iocratie fsg in triumph in this campaign2 Come,
brother Democrats, act now as you have always
done in times past that yoa had The intersstso
the Democratic party at stake Your loys and
devotion to the Democratic principles have
never been doubted Show to the country that
that love still burns within yoi. Some Of you
may have preference for Mr. Douglas; but
