Suffrage.
The NorDdlk Experiment says:
The ticket nominated by the Convention,
at the head of which stands Gen. George w.
Morgan, of Mt. Vernon, Is one ot the Dest
ever presented for the suffrages OF the peo-
pie OF the State of Ohiv. There Is not
man on the ticket who has not been tried
and found "faithful, honest and capable.
We now call.upon Democrats and all other
conservative citizens who desire to see the
country restored to its former condition OF
prosperity aud greatness, to unite and leave
no honorable means untried to secure the
election of the whole ticket. Every man
TO his post then, and let's deal the Niger
equality Coxites lively hand.
The Wayne County Democrat uses this Ian
guage:
The platform promulgated by the Con-
yention Is one of the best ever published in
Ohio. 1t meets fairly the issues of the day,
and announces to the people the soundest
Democratic truths. The Convention was
not only one Of the largest in numbers, but
was one of the most harmonious ever assem-
bled at the Capital.
The ticket put In nomination Is most
excellent one. We are personally acquaint-
ed with nearly every man on II, aud feel
sure that no better men could have been
selected in Ohio.
General George w. Morgan, candidate
for Governor, is in truth the eminent SOL
dier. the skitilul diplomatist, and the pro-
found statesman. One of the best men in
Ohio. Let General Morgan's speech before
the Convention, together with the platform,
be read by every voter in the land. We
predict for this excellent ticket, standing
upon this admirable platform, q larger
vote than has ever been polled by the De-
mocracy since the organization OF the
State.
The Holmes County Farmer thus adds its
voice: -.
Suffice 1t to say that all the nominations
are most excellent men, possessed Of good
moral character and State reputation for
honor and integrity. The singular una
nimity with which they were nominated
bespeaks their merit.
The platform is exactly right. 1t boldly
and plainly declares the principles aud
aims of the party-principles which every
Democrat and every patriot can indorse.
With this strong ticket and excellent
platform, and united and harmonious
party, ir is strange, indeed, If we do not
succeed, by a very large majority, over a
party covered with corruption and desti-
tute of principle; a party attempting to
stand upon platform its candidates dare
not interpret, and the people cannot un-
derstafd to mean anything.
I The Ottacd Ne,1s joins the acclaim thus
The Convention which assembled in Co
lumbus on the 24th inst, was one that will
long be remembered by those who were
present and participated in its actions. The
number present was large and the greatest
good humor prevailed. We seldom ever
witnessed more earnest, talented and en-
thusastic crowd OF people, and the harmony
that existed was never surpassed.
The ticket nominated is an excellent one
from beginning to eud. The head of the
ticket, General Geo. w. Morgan, is brave
soldier, an accomplished scholar, a high
toned gentleman, and Democrat who has
always stood by the organization. He has
had much experience In political affairs,
both in the State and nation, the latter of
which he has represented most creditably
abroad, as its Minister to foreign courts.
He served with credit and distiction in the
Mexican as we'll as the late unfortunate
civil war. There is not blemish or flaw up
on his private character, nor was his honor
or purity everquestioned.
The platform adopted by the Convention
is complete, and. one that the Democracy
can point to with pride and satisfaction. 1t
contains bold and explicit avowal Of the
principles of the party, and meets the issues
Of the day in manner that can be under
stood. 1t declares that this Government
was created by white men for the benefit oi
white men, aud that it should be admins
tered for the interests of the white man. IL
advocates State Rights secession, not
notification. 1t favors equal taxation, and
therefore advocates the taxation Of GOvern-
ment bonds. 1t favors an immediate resto-
ration of the Union. 1t is against Negro
Suffrage; against the $4.00 militia tax
against a further increase OF the public
debt. and In favor of the greatest economy
In our public expenses that taxation may be
LIGHT. In the platform there Is no "palter-
inc In double sense" The people can all
understand precisely where General Nor
gan and the Democracy stand in this politi-
cal contest.
Ali the speeches made during the Con-
vention have the fright ring" and five are
to Judge from the suspicious opening of the
campaign, the indications are very favor
able for Democratic triumph this fall.
The Hooking Sentinel after paying glow
ing compliment to the Democratic State
Ticket and Platform, says:
Since our last issue we have had the
pleasure OF conversing with q number oil
old Democratic friends from different Sec
tious of the State. They all spoke encour-
agingly of the prospects of the Democracy
at the coming election, and seemed to agree
that the Democracy would poll a much
larger vote In the State than ever before
The people Of Ohio comprehend the ideas
and aims of the Radicals, and are not pre-.
pared to give up their noble pride of race
their self respect, the principles upon
which our Government was founded, at the
dictatfon of the men who have dragged the
Republican party into the mire OF Negro
| Equality.
The Browu County Ne,os adds its tribute
of praise:

quished gentleman has been placed at th,
