iy favorable to the claims of Hon. G. l.. VAL
landigham, though we shall not urge them,
II another is desired in his stead. Mr.. Val |
iandigham is Radical nominee for that
office, as he has never asked for it himself, nor
has the Democracy of Ohio promised it to
him. Yet they persistently charged that we
intended to make him u. s. Senator. and we
suppose that we will have to do lust what
they say. We have all along voted for our
own nominees, and we should for sympa-
thy, if for no other canse, vote for one of
their selections in this instance. No man

digham. andno man deserves more at the
hands of the Democracy of Ohio. The victim
of the fiendish machination of Ohio Radi
callsm, he has suffered exile, imprisonment
and insults without stint for labnring in
our behalf. Abused and villified to the
utmost capacity of Radical blackguards,
he has borne it patiently and without a
nurmur. A, friend of the Union in its
darkest hour, he is still the. champion of
Truth and Justice, administered lawfully
and constitutionally. Being a poor man,
he is friend to the interests of the poor
man. Being an American citizen in the
full application of its term, he is devoted
to tie interests of our country. Being the
man for the place, he must be our next y.

our Mass Meeting in Woodsfield, we wrote:

Ohio's next U. S. Senator, stepped upon

The Radical sheets in this State snapped

Our reply to all of them was, {" that Mr..

THE PREsIDENCY.-An number of Radical
papers have recently expressed prefer
ence for General Grant for the Presidency.
This demonstrates want of confidence of
; success on the part of the Radicals in the
! approaching Presidential election. They
+ have little or nothing from General Grant
/ to assure them that he sympathizes with
their policy. They know that he is not a
. statesman; that he has no experience in
governmental affairs; that he is man of
quite ordinary intellect; that his education
p Is deficient, and that bis Incorporate use of
I, liquor is notorious. They don't want a
man of that kind; but doubling their abil-
ity to elect statesman, they resort to the
! eXpediency of running General Grant on

1t is not our funeral, but we think the
Radicals sadly mistake the public pulse.
The war is over and the people want peace.
I They want craftsmanship. They respect
Gen. Grants military laurels-want him to
retain his high military position but they
feel that he is not qualified for President,
E and they will not vote for him. The Radi-
! cal masses will not support him with the
: same zeal they would support Chase, Col
! fax. or any other man experienced in the
. affairs of government. The soldiers will
! not become more enthusiastic for Grant
than they would be for civilian, for the
. reason that military honors are so common
that military chieftains do not attract the
attention they otherwise would. The peo-
Z pie feel the necessity for wise and discreet
craftsmanship, and they know this cannot
be expected from one whose whole expert
ence and natural inclination runs in quite
another channel. People are think
ing now; they are feeling the burdens of
government; they will so vote as to tighten
, those burdens. The men who were SOL
diers three years ago are civilians now !;
they are engaged in the fields, workshops,
&C., of the country. They are taX-pay-
ers; they are experiencing the burdens of
Government just as much as men who new
er were in the army, and they have Just

ernment that any one else has. --'
Everybody honors General Grant for his
military qualities, and everybody knows
3 he is not fit for President. If the Radicals
nominate him, which now seems probable,
the Democracy have just one thing to do
and that is to take up a man distinguished
for ability and craftsmanship: such man as

George III. Pendleton tor the Office OF Chief

OHIo's CHOICE FOR PRssIDENT.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday forcibly
presents Hon. George 81. Pendleton to the
Democracy of the'country as Ohio's choice
for next President of the United States
. Without committing the Signal to his es-.
pecial advocacy, we can freely say that Mr.
Pendleton has more friends and fewer en-
emies than any statesman who has yet been
named for next President, and that'his se-
lection and election to the Presidency
would certainly be the dawn of peaceful
and happy period of repose and prosperi-
ty for our bedeviled people and distracted.

We're in favor of holding the Democratic
State Convention upon the Sth of January,
This year we do not believe that it would
be polite to hold an early convention, and
we therefore suggest our National anniver-
sary, the Fourth of July next, as suitable
day for the holding OF said convention.
Times are somewhat out of joint now, and
new issues are constantly arising which the
Democratic party will be called upon to
meet. We protited well by a lengthy can
vass this year, but the reasons for briefer |
one are equally as apparent next year,
