The Republican Nominations.

= ~ biNhNN HAN ~ ~ y
the State Republican Convention al
Columbus on the 10Th inst, is one
of the best ever submitted to the
sufErages of the people of Ohio
It's nomination, made with great
unanimity and enthusiasm, is {
guaranty of our triumph at the polls
and we have no hesitation in pre-,
dieting for it a popular majority OF
fifty thousand. tits worthy of note
that six out of eight persons who
compose it are the present incum.
bents of the offices, who have dis.
charged their trust so well that the
party shows its confidence and trust
in them by offering them a re-elec,
ton. The incumbents of the Other
two offices would also, doubtless,
have been nominated, had they not
refused to be candidates. This fact
is the highest possible testimony to
the faithfulness and ability with
which these gentlemen have dis
charged their duties. They have
been tried and not found wanting ;
and the Republican party is glad
to present them again to the people
deeming their past record a sufficient
guaranty for their future good con
duct.
General Rutherford B. Hayes, of
Hamilton county, who heads the
ticket as the nominee for Governor,
will sweep the State as he did the
convention. He was born in Della
ware, Ohio, October 4th, 1922,
and graduated at Kenyon College
and the Law School at Cambridge,
Mass. After graduating he spent
some time in Fremont, Ohio, in the
practice Of his profession, going
thence to Cincinnati. He was City
Solicitor Of Cincinnati from 1858
to 1861, but when the war broke
out he resigned his lucrative office
and was one of the first to volun-
teer for the suppression of the re-
bellion. His war record extends
from the first day of the rebellion
until its final close, and is charac-
terized throughout by devotion, pa
triotism, courage, and brilliant abil-
ity. He entered the service as Ma
jor of the 23rd 0. V. |. and was
promoted to its Colonelcy in 1862.
This regiment was largely raised in
Northern Ohio, and many Of its
members are still among us to bear
testimony to the valor and fidelity
of their old Colonel. In 1864 he
was made Brigadier General, and
in the fall Of that year was elected
to the Thirty-ninth Congress from
the SSeOhd Ohio District by ma
iority Of .3,0SS, He SelKGG on the
Committee on Private Land Claims,
and as ChahmaA Of the Committee
on Library. Last fall he was re,
elected by n majority Of 2,558-
General Hayes is strong, logical,
effective dcboter, and a radical Re,
publican. His army record, his
course in Congress, his ability, his
eloquence, and his radicalsm are
alike strong guarantees for his future
success.
Samuel Galloway, of Franklin
county, whom the Convention have
wisely nominated for Lieutenant
Governor, is in himself u tower of
and his magnanimous con
sent to accept secondary place on
the ticket at once unitcs and stimu
Iates the party. Mr.. Galloway's
services, eloqucnce, principles and
fame woold entitlc him to the high.
est Office in the gift Of the people Of
the State but it was deemed besH
to select q soldier to head the tick
ct, and we rejoice that Mr., Galloway
has consented to take the nomina.
ton Of Lieutenant Governor Mr.
is one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of Colum-
bus, and represented the Columbus
district in the Thirty-fourth Con
gress, His whitening sarcasm, keen
rony, and eccentric eloqucnce are
)royerbial, not only in the State,
)ut throughout the nation.

William II, West, of Logan, for
Attorney General; John Welch, Of
Athens, for Judge Of the Supreme
court; and Phillip V. Herring, of
Butler county, for the Board Of Pub
ic Works, are all denominations.
they have proven themselves such
aithful officers that there is no de-
ire to make any change. We can
ay of them, individually and col,
cctively, that they have deserved a
collection, and will receive it.
