The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-06-04

out flaw
From the Chicago Republican.
Since the days of Washington no
man, unless it was the case with
Gen. Jackson the second time he
was nominated, has ever received
the unanimous vote Of any National
Convention upon the first ballot
until to-day. The vote of the peo-
pie will be as emphatic as the vote
of the Convention was unanimous
1t would be work of supereroga-
ton to urge reasons why General
Grant should be elected-why the
action of the Convention was wise
one. The people rule. And there
are no two opinions among the
loyal men of the country as to the
wisdom Of the choice.
Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, is
placed second on the ticket. From
apoor printer, struggling upward
always, pure as a man, unimpeacha-
bic as patriot, wise and discreet as
a statesman, lacking in no quality
demanded of a man chosen to fill
!, the places in the public service to
which he has been successfully
elected, it will be found that he will
meet the expectations of the people
who will elect him Vice PresideA
of the United States.
From the Chicago Tribune.
| Grant and ColfaN is q ticket that
will sweep the country with the
power and earnestness that swelled
the majority for Lincoln and Ham
lin, when their names went forth
from the Chicago Wigwam eight
years ago. The Platform adopted
:. by the Convention will meet the
appreciation Of every true patriot
and honest man in the United States.
The reconstruction policy of Con
gress is not only endorsed, bat the
country is congratulated on its sue
cess as demonstrated by the resto-
ration of a majority of the seeding
States TO the Union under cottstitu-
tions and laws securing equal rights
to all citizens. Can there be sub.
liner mission for political party
than the protection Of the weak,
the elevation Of the down-trodden,
the establishment of justice, the
mission of interposing the mighty
buckler Of law between the Cypress
ed and the oppressor?
| From the Boston Journal.
The sentiments expressed by the
people, and the commentators be-
slowed upon the resolutions by the
business men of the city, indicate
that the work performed at Chicago
by the Republican Convention gives
perfect satisfaction. The Demo
Gratis are disappointed at the result
They anticipated platform which
would create division in the party,
and they prayed earnestly that
neither Wilson, Hamlin or ColfaS
should be nominated as Vice Pres
ident. They had their powder all
ready for Wade, but against Grant
it is useless to fire, aud Colfax pre-
sents such a clear record that they
are at loss where to aim their
shafts. The impression in Boston
to-day appears to be, that with
Grant and Colfax an opposition is
likely to be failure, and they are
sure to carry the day. The Grant
Clubs will have large accessions
during the coming fortnight. The
Republicans, however, are not dis
posed to wait for victory to come
to them, but they will at once com
mence a vigorous and earnest cam
paign.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The name Of Grant becomes once
m ore the harbinger of victory, and
gives new assurance that the glori-
GUS fruits of the conquest won by
the blood and treasure of loyal men
should not be bartered away by q
reckless President, though backed
by Senatorial renegades and ambi-
: tious judges. 1t is a day to be re
membered.
) From the Lancaster Express.
The bold aggressive front at once
assumed by the Republicans has
already won half the battle. OF
the men who will lead us to victory
we can say nothing to-day with
which our readers are not already
acquainted Grant, the Crusher OF
Rebellion, and Colfax, the brilliant
and accomplished statesman, com
prise ticket that at once assures
: success and commands the respect
of all parties.
From the Portland Press.
Grant was nominated some
months ago. The formal part OF
the business was done at Chicago
yesterday. George Washington was
hardly surer of an election in 1889,
than Grant in 1868. His leadership
is accepted by the Republican party
. with immeasurable content. TIC
the enemy, the nomination is ON
inous of humiliation and defeat; il
foreshadows unconditional surren
der; it is to the Democracy what
his appointment to the command OF
/ the Army of the Potomac was tc
the rebels in 1864. No one who
knows anything Of the Republicans
of Maine, will, for moment imag
: inc that on account oflocal pride OF
individual preferences they will give
5 less hearty support to Schuyler
Colfax than they would have giver
, to Hannibal Hamlin. The nomi-
: nee of the Chicago Convention is {
1 man who is everywhere recognized
= as worthy of association with the
5 great chieftain whose name is {
+ SYNONYM of victory. No league Of
, hungry politicians and demagogue
