ME5sRs. EDIroRs The unexpect
Il ed, and deeply to be regretted re
fusaI Of Governor Cox, to be a can
. didate for reelection, compels the
Union party to seek a leader. Cir
cumstances make the next election
more important to Ohio than any
one Tor years past, or may be for
the future. New and most i'm
! portant issues will be presented, and
the voting public viii require much
, information, and many explana-
tions will be necessary, in order to
give a full and intelligent vote. The
deep feelings throughout the State,
, at the rejection, by the Senate, Of
good and qualified soldiers, and
confirmation Of men to the best
offices who never faced an enemy in
the war, has filed the war members
of the Union party with determin-
ations to demand at least share of
the candidates on the new ticket
This is but reasonable-it is right,
and the party willneither cavil with,
nor deny the right. No man in the
State will deny the right of the
soldiers to be represented fully and
most satisfactorily on the ticket
but whether in the candidate for
Governor and others to be nomi- .
mated, will be left for proper CON
sideration, taking into account one .
most necessary and important fact
/ for success.
We shall be compelled to have a
man who can and win stump the
State, from the Lakes to the Ohio
river, and that man must be the can
didate for Governor. Now have
we among the many great and
good soldiers, a man who is every
way qualified by intellect, habit
and taste for so necessary a pro
ceedure? If we have, he is the
man of all others. If we have not,
as much as we may desire to reward
the services of soldier, this is not
the occasion nor time for that re,
ward-but, a civilian, known over
the entire State, for integrity, faith
fulness to his party and country
one ready to meet the opposite can
didate anywhere and everywhere on
the issues must needs be selected. j
Among themany civilians known
and respected for every element
that can form a useful and trusted

stands conspicuous. He has never
faltered-never refused to sacrifice {
his own to the public interest, and |
is as famiiarly and as well known, !
in every county in the State, as any
man now liying-for he has been
everywhere, and is welcome every.
