proudly advance our standard 70 1ts
browning triumph. Hearty, united,
jubilant acclaim greets 1t on every SIDE,
from our northern border to our south
ernmost cape, and from ocean to
ocean.-CfncfRndt Chronicle.
Grant and CoIfax It is a Western
ticket, and Will sweep the West like
wild6re. 1t may, indeed, be said, as
it was reasoned by the Convention,
but the whole Union, and Mr.. Colfax
also known to the whole world by bis
ability, fidelity and great success as the
Speaker of the sThirty-ninth and
Fortieth Congress-has n national
rather than local strength. The ac-
ton of the convention considerate,
practical, just and wise, is the DEATH
knell of Democratic treason, and car
ries gloom into the hearts of the ma
toms villifers. The unparalleled unity
of sentiment exhibited at Chicago Is
wonderful as proof of the exalted
patriotism that moved all hearts as by
one pulsation, and will be omnipotent
in it's effects. No Vaccinations can
make head against it, no combinations
of hostility resist 1t, 1t Will swell
through the country kindling enthu-
siasm, 1t will cheer the faithful, recall
the doubling, and win the dIsadected.
HenceforWard the watchword ofIerant
and Colfax' will Will ring through the
nation bugle call to battle, ana sum-
mon the patriotic hosts to victory

The Convention has ventured on no
experiment in making its nominations.
1t took bond against treachery in the
future, Lby presenting candidate for
| Vice President whose fidelity and hon
| esty are too well established to furnish
our enemies any indictment to Rssas-
sinate General Grant after his election:
The ticket is one eminently worthy OF
| support and confidence, and for IL the
| Republicans OF the whole Union can
| work and vote without any mlsSISihBS
as TO the future. The platform is SOUND
and presents clear ana aa iie' S1
position OF the fundamental principles
OF the Republican party, whose history
| and triumphs are gloriOusly associated
with tho most stirring, eVenttu al and
momentous period of our national eX-
| istence.-ZHd. Jour.
The Republican National Conyen-
ton has done its work-and on the
whole II has done it well. II has put
General Grant in nomination for Presi-
dent and Schuyler COlfa2 for Vice
President, and has adopted platform
which unquestiOnably has tho merit,
whatever else may be said of IL, of en-
bodying the opinions and sentiments
OF a very large majority of the Repub:
lican party throughout the United
States. General Grant has the conf
dence of the people of the country
| OF all sections and of all parties. The
| selection OF Mr.. ColfaH for the second
place on the ticket is eminently judi
ciouS. IL might not 'be hard to name
other candidates who would bring TO
the party, on local as well as from per-
sonal ability, more of real strength,
| but his name will carry with it nn
assurance of personal fidelity, and of
uniform acquiescsnce in whatever pol
| lev tho party may adopt under any
emergency, which will be of special
value mt this particul crisis OF our
political afTars.-N. y. Tines.
Grant and CoIfax is ticket that will
sweep the country with the power and
earnestness TINT swelled the majority
for Lincoln and HRmlin, when their
names went forth from the Chicoiwlg-
wan eight years ago. The platform
adodted by the Convention will meet
the appreciation of every true patriot
and honest man in the United States
Chicago Tribune.
Everywhoro throughout the country
the nominations of Grant and COlfnN
are received with the strongest marks
of approval. Universal satisfaction Is
expressed by the 1tepuphcan press, and
muny Democratic journals have been
candid enough to admit that the ticket
is IL str0ngsone.
The Republican masses, North and
South, East and West, respond as one
man, and in thunder tones: "The
choice of the Convention Is our choice
Its sentiments are our sentiments"
Never was Il National nomination so
unanimously Endorsed, and never have
the representatives of q party more
fifty expressed the principles of their
constituents. With such candidates,
and such platform, they are prepared
TO enlist for the campaign, and battle
for the right until victory is achieved

There is a general feeling OF satisfac-
ton ut the result of the Chicago Con-
VentIOn. a fuller examination of the
resolutions and of the merits of candi-
dates, therefore, confirms the judgment
we expressed yesterday, that the Con-
Vontion had done u good days work.
These nominations will remove all
danger OF any formidable third party
organization. No man OF real ability
would now permit himself to be made
use of for such a purpose, and there is
no object to be gained by such m at
tempt.-CthI. Com. 30
The Convention has done well; they
have emphRtically represented the peo-
pie; they have given us the strongest
ticket they possibly could have given
us; they have erected a judicious plat
form, and they have demonstrated the
harmony, the enthusiasm as the Glori-
oos confidence of the National Union
Republican party. Let the banners of
Grant and Colfax be advanced to the
front.-EfttS. Dispatch.
We accept and heartily endorse the
action of the National Convention at
Chicago in putting forward for the suf-
frages of the loyal and patriotic masses
the names Of Ulysses S. Grant, the con-
qUering hero, for President, and Schuy-
Ter Colfax. the pure minded representa-
tive of American statesmRnship. for
Vice President. Representing the hal
lowed and undying principles of the
| great political organization which has
chosen them from amongst mento lead
its hosts OF followers on to glorious tri-
umph, their names will be caught with
patriotic zeal and enthusiasm by mill
lions OF their fellow countrymen and
made the rallyinS cry which shall
