THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
From the Chillicothe Advertiser J


i THE people want no thin-skinned candi-
dates or gutta percba platforms. They have
had enough OF Radicalisnl, and want moth
ing approximating to it. If they feel like
indorsing Congressional Reconstruction or
electing man of wax, they will vote for
Grant and the Chicago platform. To the
masses, Radicalism has become as a putrid
carcass, and in regard for its offensive
odor, they wish to be removed as far from
it as possible. We want Democratic prin-
ciples enunciated in plain and unmistaka-
BILE terms, and nominees, whose past lives
are vouchers for their future, and not fell
lows who come battering at the door in the
eleventh hour and demand the chief places
in our synagogue.
is Pendleton, because we believe that our
chances for success will be vastly enhanced
by his nomination. But there are hum
dreds OF other good Democrats for whom
we will work as earnestly, and who we be-
lieve can be elected, and from them we
have no doubt the Convention will make
choice. 1t will be Democratic Conven-
tion convened for the purpose of nominat-
ing Democratic candidate for President,
and it cannot bind the votes of the party
for man who is not in accord with it upon
q single idea.

GEO. H. PENDLEToN.-On the outside of
this paper will be found condensed sketch
of the life of Geo. Fl. Pendleton, We pub
lish it because the day is near at hand when
this young statesman of Ohio will be call
ed upon to lead she Democratic masses to a
glorious victory next fall. His nomina-
tlon is almost foregone conclusion and
his election is certainty. Well may the
people OF Ohio feel proud of the man, the
patriot, the statesman, from her own linn
its who is to shape and direct the destiny
of the nation tor the next tour years.
From the Greenville Democrat
Edo not care to offer any remarks upon
the platform of principles that will be
adopted. feeling assured that the issues that
divide the Democratic and the Republican
radical parties, which are well understood,
and differ as markedly as does light and
darkness, truth and Justice and falsehood
ocally met by this Convention which will
hoist the name of Ohio's favorite son, the
taxpayers candidate, Hon. George II. PEN
dleton, as our standard bearer for the Pres
idential office. Such consummation will
be Fourth of July spent in the spirit of
its origin.
from the Seneca Advertiser.I
Or course we do not pretend to know
what will be the result of the deliberations
of the New York Convention more than
that they will be participated in by men
of acknowledged ability and experience in
national affairs, and having the best inter-
est of the country and its institutions at
heart. With these objects in view, it is but
reasonable to conjecture that worthy can
didates and a platform embodying the
principles of the party and the important
issues before the people, will be placed in
the field. As to the candidate for President,
we think the people have sufficiently indi-
Gated that George 81. Pendleton is their
first choice for that position, and indica-
tions are that their wishes will be respected
and indorsed by the convention.

AGAINST PENDLEToN.-Isaiah Rynders,
and the roughs of New York, are said to be
opposed to Mr.. Pendleton, and some one
has been silly enough to send special dis
patch over the country that the muscle of
New York was already engaged to prevent
his nomination. The Democracy OF that
city stand pledged to the preservation of
order, and that it will be preserved there is
not the slightest doubt, and further when
the cannon shall announce the nomination
OF the favorite son of the great West,
George III. PENDLEToN, it will be hailed by
the masses of that citadel of Democracy
with sincerity of enthusiasm never ex-
ceeded by any similar event. The masses
of New York are not bondholders-they
are in favor of equal taxation and the
same kind of money for all, and are ther,
fore in favor of the man who represents
that fact. We have every assurance from
men who know that our candidate is more
popular with the people of New York than
any other named, although the World may
not admit the fact, neither did it, that every
Democrat in the House and Senate OF the
New York Legislature voted for the resolu-
tions maintaining the doctrine of green
backs for bonds, and insisting upon their
bearing their share of the taxes.

THE nomination of Chase would bring
disaster to the party and to the country.
[From the Holmes County Farmer.l
CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE-The Radical press
are working themselves into quite an un-
enviable state of mind over the proposed
of Chase as the Democratic
candidate for President. Gentlemen, do |
keep cool. In such weather as this it is
very improper to allow your minds to be-
come too deeply agitated. Besides you may
be mistaken after all. Up here in Holmes |
county we are talking of Pendleton for the |
Presidency.
From the Hooking Sentinel.l
THE OHIO STATESMAN says that if Chase
is nominated it will not support him. There
is not a ghost of chance for Chase, but
we will say right here for the benefit of
few RAIDS who advocate the Temperance
cause, yet support Grant, that should Chase
be nominated the Sentinel will not support
him, and we will also bet picked niger
that there is not one Democrat in Hooking
county who will do so.

RADICAL TRIBULATIoN.-The Radicals are
In perfect agony of fear that the New
York Convention will not nominate can
didate to suit them. Their only hope of
success lies in the commission OF some gross
blunder by the Democrats, such, for in |
stance, as the nomination of Chase They |
need not give themselves any uneasiness, |
for although Democrats are resolved to vote |
for man OF their own, one tried and true
for equal taxation and one currency for all |
these fellows will still, doubtless, have an |
opportunity to vote for Chase, as New
York telegram, from well-informed |
source, says that the Chase men, if he is |
not nominated by the Democracy, propose
to run him as a third party candidate. !
They might as we'll begin their arrange
ments at once, for the Democracy have no |
idea of nominating Chase or any other sore |
head Republican. If the Chief Justice |
wants to beat Grant, he can help US do it |
by being third party candidate. He can
draw hundreds and thousands of Republi- |
can votes from the shoulder-sJrap candi- |
date of the Grand Army, and in some !
States beat him badly.

The FINANCIAL PoLICY.-The financial |
policy of the Government is one in which |
every inhabitant is deeply intere sted.
1t will be one of the principal questions |
for the consideration and decision of the |
people at the election this fall. The Repub- |
iican party, in their National platform, de-
clared in favor of the bondholder against |
the people. The Democratic Convention |
to assemble in New York on the Fourth OF |
July must determine in favor of the tax |
