GRANT AND COLFAX.
The Response of the Republican
: Press to the Chicago Nominal
tiOnS and Platform.

tionS and PLATFORM.
From the Columbus Journal.
1t is perfectly evident from the
dispatches, as well as from the ex-
changes which we have received.
that the ticket put in nomination at
Chicago gives unboundcd satisfac
ton to Republicans, and immoder-
ately disturbs the Democracy
When that metropolitan weather
cock and infallible Indicator of pop
ular sentiment, the New York Her
aid, announces that the ticket is 6
strong and popular one, this is the
best possible evidence of the fact
stated.
1t is quite evident that the Dem
ocracy would have been much bet.
ter pleased if Wade had been nom
mated instead Of Colfax. Our op
ponents are also vexed because tbs
platform is so wise and judicious
that they find nothing in it to gel
up howl over.
From the Washington Republican.
We place at the head OF our col
umns this morning the name OF
Ulysses S. Grant for President, and
that of Schuyler Colfax for Vice
President. In doing this we fee
hat we are serving our country in
this hour better than we could pos:
sibly do in any other way.
From the Toledo Commercial.
Perhaps if the country were
searched from end to end, no two
better representatives Of the Amer
lean people could be found thar
General Ulysses Sidney Grant and
Schuyler Colfax. General Grant is
the perfect type of the American
soldier and citizen, having genius
without any Of its brilliant weak
nesses, and having, like Washing
ton and like Lincoln, that strong
unassuming, simple greatness which
no success and no piaudits can un
duly elata, and which moan, bie:es
can dazzle.
Mr.. Colfax is no less a represen
tative man. His life has been spent
in daily contact with the people
and his training has been in the
business and under the influences OF
the Great West.
Scarcely any Imaginable ticket
could be stronger or more popular
and certainly no one could have
been selected more perfectly repre-
sentative of the American people.
From the Toledo Blade.
Grant, the indomitable Colfaz
the irresistible; these ale the glo
rious names to lead the phalanx ot
patriots and reformers to the fna
victory. Both have fought theil
way through darkness and adversi
ty, amid difficulties and discourage
ment, to the highest place in the
popular renown.
From the Cleveland Herald.
A strong ticket is the response
coming from all sides to the an
nouncement Of the Chicago Eomi
nations. It is strong in every re
spect; strong in the popularity 0:
the candidates strong in their abil
it is; strong in thes declaration O.
the principles which they are te
champion. The enthusiasm evoked
by the nomination is already great
and will increase in volume anC
force until, like resistless torrent
it will sweep away all distractions
and carry the nominees triumphant
ly into power.
From the Dayton Journal.
The nomination of Grant and
Colfax is received with universe
favor among Republicans. The
expression Of qualification is uni
versal. 1t is almost always The
case, that some dissatisfaction is
exhibited eveS toward very popular
nominations. But in the case O
Grant and Colfax, there is not only
no expression dissatisfaction, bu1
a general rejoicing over the work O
the Convention,
Colonel Halpine, who represents
the War Democrats of New York
thus candidly gives his opinion:
Grant and Colfax make a ticke
hard to beat. The wonderful mill
| tary success of the one, aud ths
great political ability of the other
cannot be written down or belittleC
by newspaper editors: and the at
tempt to do SO is folly only wor
thy of the late management Of th'
Democratic party. The hero o
Donelson, Corinth, most wonder
ful of all, of Vicksburg, and finally
of Richmond, is not a third rate
general, and no literary scribe car
make him one. The gentleman who
has worked his way up to the
Speakership of the House of Rep
resentatives is not bad politician
and those who buy him for one viii
not make a profitable bargain
Probably there are no two leading
names stronger, individually o
collectively, than the two whicl
have been put forward. And i
they do not receive the support o
the people, it will be from othe
than personal reasons.
From the Baltimore American.
Perhaps the epithet of honest be
fore the name of the lamented Lin
coin had as much to do with hi
reelection as any other cause. Ne
knew that, whatever might happen
he at least would be true to princi
pie and to justice. With equa
unanimity and confidence they nov
turn to General Grant. He ha
become the idol Of the popula
