Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-03-06

In the organization OF some Democratic
clubs, stress has been put upon the fact
that they have neither q prefix nor affix;
but are simply and purely Democratic
Clubs. Our Club. although named the
Central Pendleton Club, is nothing else than
an unadulterated Democratic Club, organ
lied in the interest of the people. Our
object Is to assist in the nomination of Hon.
George Fl. Pendleton to the Presidency.
Why Not because he is the Honorable
George II. Pendleton-nOt that he as an
individual shall be honored and exalted.
We are not men worshippers. We urge
his nomination because he is a Democrat
in whom there is no guile. We urge his
nomination because he is q gentleman. We
urge his nomination because, if elected, he
will take into the White House wife who
is lady, and who would not bring shame
and modification upon the country
by hawking round bedraggled and
soiled wardrobe, upon the pretense that
she was in poverty and that the party had
treated her niggardly. We urge his nom-
ination because he is a man Of education.

because he is a man of broad statesman

he is the advocate of q p0licy-known

lures of the Government, in every depart

that the country can once more be put on
its feet and move forward, prospering and
to prosper. We urge his nomination be-
cause he is man pure and SIMPLE in all
the relations of life, and will take
into his administration the same pu-
rity and simplicity. We urge his nom-
ination because he possesses every
element to make a President who will con-
fer honor upon the position, instead of de-
irving honor from il. He is prudent, eau
tious, infiexible, and the soul of honor. We
urge his nomination because he will give
restoration to an afflicted and discovered
Union. We urge his nomination because
the taxes of the people will be lightened.-
We urge his nomination because under his
administration corruption and profigacy
will be outlawed.O We urge his nomination
because he is Western man, who

he would do wrong to the wants and inter

nomination, because he is one of Ohio's

will never have cause to blush.
For these, among other reasons, we urge
the domination of Hon. George II. Pendle.
