The Cincinnati Enquirer presents the
name OF George Il. Pendieton as the
choice Of che Democrats Of Ohio and
the Northwest for the next President OF
the United States. The Enquirer says
it enjoyed great celebrity as being the
leading organ OF Douglas in 1889:
"In about six months the National
I Convention OF the Democratic party
will meet TO select their candidates for
[ President and Vics-President of the
/ United States. In common with The
/ Democracy of other States, our friends
/ in Ohio have n preference, and that
| preference we propose to express. II Is
a preference that none who know the
sentiment OF our people, who haveseen
| il manifested in mHny ways in the
I local press, III private letters and in
/ political conventions, will dispute.
Therefore, in the name OF the vic
torious Democracy, who but the other
/ day sent greeting TO the Democracy OF
Z the Union that Ohio WAS redeemed from
the rule of fanaticism; that she had
yiudicated the constitution, and had
arrested the bold career OF the men
who have been trampling on the rights
and liberties of the people-in their
name, we this day seize upon the honor
OF presenting the claims of Ohio's ma
/ tive son, Hon. George II. Pendleton, to
the Democracy Of the country as Ohio's
choice for the high office of President
or the United States. He is not only
Ohin's choice, but Is the fayorite of
Kentucky, who will send Il full delega-
ton for him in the National Couyen-
iiou. Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and
Minnesota Will not be behind Ohio and
kentucky in their devotion to Ohio's
noble and trusted statesman. He Is, by
III L ., i. kn FNFN
date in the Northwest, and we have
reason to believe, in the United States.
He possesses, in great degree, the
Democratic popular confidence which
was given to Stephen a. Douglas, and
on him has fallen in the Northwest the
mantle of that eminent mana
gentleman, a scholar and states
man, whose history and character
are known to the country, and every
where recognized and respected by all
parties. In the very prime OF life, with
IA mind Injured to study, with the habits
of prOtounder thinker, the expert
encs of tried legislator, eminently
sound in Judgment, eloquent in the e1-
preston Of his thoughts, candid in bis
political views, with an integrity that
was never questioned, he is that model
OF Il President which we had in the
early days OF the republic. With him
as our Caudidate-upou the platform of
the constitution, equal Justice TO all
sections of our common country, with
equality TO all and special privileges to
none; the same currency for the bond
holder that tho people are compelled TO
receive; the prompt payment OF the
public debt as it falls due in the legal
tender OF the nation the immediate
restoration OF the Southern States to
the Union, with their full share of rep
resentation in both branches of the
Government, as guaranteed by the con-
siitution; and universal amnesty for
all political OfTences-with such a plat
form, and George II. Pendleton as it's
exponent, we will sweep Ohio by fifty
thousand majority, and also the coun-
try, rs we did with Franklin Pierce in
1852, when the conqueror OF Mexico,
General Scott, was the candidate of the
opposition.
