Union. While other Executives were run
ming to Washington every few days, asking
favors from the Administrations, or adVis-
ing it what course to pursue, Governor
Seymour remained at his post of duty. en-
couraging the raising of troops, organizing,
equipping and forwarding them to the seat
OF war. When, in great emergency, the
Secretary sof War asked Governor Sey-i
mour If he could furnish ten thousand men
in so many hours, the Governor said that
be could-and he did. So important were
the services of Governor Seymour on this
occasion, that both President Lincoln and
Secretary Stanton publicly thanked him
for his zeal and energy in a critical moment.
4 Governor Seymour is not only a states
man of the very first rank, but in all the
relations, of lie he is model OF purity and
uprightness. A devout and active member
of the Episcopal Church, he has found time,
amid the cares OF Office and the allure-
ments of politics, to devote much of his
time to the discharge of duties incumbent
upon him as delegate to various religious
bodies. ~ pi7- '.'ei''fIA''1 e1'A - ,

HOratiO Seymour

The Democratic National Convention, in
session at New York, to-day, on the
twenty-second ballot, nominated Horatio
Seymour, of New York, as the Democratic
candidate for President of the United
States, presenting the strange spectacle of
so great an honor being thrust upon man
who had early, repeatedly, and sincerely
expressed the wish that his name should
not be thus used. on 't
it was once asked sneeringly, ssWho is
James K.Polk ?' and later, "Who is Frank
lin Pierce ?' Although the nomination
made to-day is entirely unexpected, no one
need to ask, ."Who is Horatio Seymour ?"
The name of the nominee of the National
Democracy for the Presidency is familiar
as household words to the country, and is
especially endeared to the party, of which he
has long been one of the most loved, most
eminent and most trusted leaders. He is no
mediocre man, but tne who stands high in
the roll of living statesmen. When the
Democratic party of the country, year
ago, began to cast about for a standard
bearer in the great contest OF 1865, the
name of Governor Seymour rose to the
lips of hundrt DIS of thousands as the most
proper to lead them to victory. He per-
emptorily declined the use of his name,
however, and has repeatedly done so since,
and although he will undoubtedly be
charged with insincerity in this by those
who cannot conceive the possibility of a
mans refusing nomination for the Presi
dency by great and powerful party, there
can be no, doubt whatever that he meant
just what he said he had no ambition to
be President.
But despite his protestations, Governor
Seymour has been nominated. Though
without details OF the action of the Con-
vention, we presume it became evident
that harmony could not be effectually Sc
cured by the nomination of either of the
distinguished statesmen who had been pre-
'viously voted for, and hence statesman
who was not a candidate, but who is con-
fessedly the peer of the brightest intellects
in the Union.
Although we should have been gratified
at the nomination OF our fellow citizen, the
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, we believe the
convention has done a wise thing in Sc
lecting Horatio Seymour as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. ....I. zt
Mr.. Seymour has been twice elected Gov
ernor of New York-in 1850, and again in
1862. Though qualified by his brilliant
talents and his high personal qualities to
adorn the highest station, Governor Sey-
mour has never sought Federal office, pre-
ferring rather to serve the people of his
own State as their Chief Executive officer.
He has therefore never been in either
branch of Congress. As Governor of the
Empire State during two OF the most im-
portant years of the war, Governor Sey-
mour gave Jealous and efficient support

Democratic Nominations for Presi-
! -. dent and Vice President.. -

e It
It is with no ordinary qualification that
wenail to eur masthead, as the Democratic
nominees for President and Vice President,
the names of Governor Horatio Seymour, OF
New York, and General F. P. Blair, ofMis-
souri-the former taken from the East, and
the latter from the West. 3. -e .ts-
The name of Governor Seymour is famil-
lar to all Americans. We need not, there
fore, dwell upon the eminent fitness of his
nomination. He is distinguished among
our statesmen Tor pre-eminent ability, for
sterling patriotism, an unsullied character,
and a firm adherence to the cherished prin
ciples of the Democracy. While, in COM
mon with our fellow Democrats of this
State, we would have preferred George III.
Pendleton, we feel gratified that the Con-
vention, since it failed to give Ohio her
first choice, has given us her second, and,
upon her motion, nominated candidate to
whom all can yield an unwavering, COR
dial and enthusiastic support. tit
General f. p. Blair is also well known
throughout the country as gentleman OF
talent, skill and experience in public af-
fairs. He will make good presiding Off
Ger in the Senate of the United States. The
decided course he took in Missouri and
elsewhere in opposition to Radical acts of
oppression and tyranny, excites the wrath
and bitter malignity of that party, while it
cOmmends him to Democrats and all Con-
stitution and liberty-loving citizens.
Now for the triumphant election of this
ticket in November next. To that, fellow
Democrats, let US bend all our energies, and
we can not but be successful.

The Democratic ticket for President and
Vice President is before the nation. The
people are invited to scrutinize it. We have
no fear of their verdict. ="
And now we invoke the Democracy of
Kentucky, and all such of the people of the
State as are anxious, whatever they may
have called themselves hitherto, to aid in
rescuing the country from the destroyers
and placing it under the guidance and pro-
lection of those best entitled to its guar
dianship, to apply themselves at once, and
with the utmost energies of their lives to
the performance of the vast duties and OBJ
legations pressing upon them. 1t is time

The Conservatives of Kentucky, on ac-
count of their consciousness of strength,

than they would have been if they had en-
tertained doubt as to the result of the
approaching elections in their State.I9 But

as they are, can do, if only to encourage

show with what indignation and scorn and

and unspeakably Infamous prosecutions to
which Kentucky has been subjected by the
atroeious Congress that is sustained by the
party against which we are now strug-
| Cling. Our proud State is ineomparably
rseihated by the Radical party of the
country than any other State In the Union.
She is hated far worse than any State that
rebelled. She is hated because she didn't
| rebel. Her enemies would rejoice if they
could ascribe rebellion to her as a reason
for depressing and crushing her even more
ruthlessly, if that were possible, than they
have already oppressed and crushed her.
We say crushed, bit she is not crushed
She is wronged, injured, insulted, out

| Her head is erect, her nerves are strong,
| and she feels no shame. She is denied her
right ia Congress, but she deems that the
/ time is not far off when those rights and
all others that belong to her will not only

maintained. In order to this result, how
ever, she should do and take pride in doing
her full share and even double share o1

new devices, what novel eXpedients what

dudlTS. A'-t
Francis P. Blair, jun, the nominee for
the Vice Presidency, was born in Lexing-
ton, Kentucky. February 10, 1S21.T He was
a graduate of Prihceton College, and adop-
ted the profession of law. Mr.. Blair was
member of the Missouri Legislature in 1852
and 1854. He was elected a Representative
from Missouri to the Thirty-fifth Congress,
serving on the committee on Private Land
Claims. Mr.. Blair was reelected to the
Thirty-seventh Congress and was Chair
man of the committee on Military Affairs.
He was colonel ot'volunteers in 1861, and
in 1862 was appointed Major-general in
the army and was subsequently reelected
to the Thirty eighth Congress. During the
first session of that Congress, he resigned
his seat in the House to resume his position
in the army, but by the action of the House,
subsequently, the seat was assigned to his
contestant. General Blair was with Sher-
man in his march to the sea, and his gal
liant services in the army received un-
measured applause from, his now political
enemies. The natural abilities and the ac-
Quirements of General Blair are far supe-
rior to the Republican candidate for the
Vice Presidency. There is no humbugging
or clap-trap about him. He will not stoop
to the little devices that Coltax does to
achieve notoriety. It is only little men
that descend to such agencies to acquire
reputation and position. Frank Blair, as
he is familiarly known by his friends, has
every qualification for the highest position
in the Government, and he will be equal to
every emergency that may devolve upon
him. His gallantry and general social
qualities have endeared him to thousands
of friends. Huzza for Seymour and Blair !
Indiana will roll up for them twenty thou
sand majority. =. rf +;
Such is the man who is destined to be the
next President of the United States.

The Nominees and Platform.

= We keep the publication of the Irdras-
cript back one day this week in order to
announce the nominee of the New York
Convention. Horatio Seymour, of, New
York, is the choice of the Democracy of
the whole country, as their standard bear
er in this campaign, with Frank P. Blair,
jr., of Missouri for the second place. III s
: In this instance the Office has sought the
man, Mr.. Seymour having steadily and
persistently declined the nomination until
it was forced upon him. esHiinI9u p
Z We have only space to say the nominees
will receive the hearty, enthusiastic sup
port of Democrats and Conservatives of all
sections, and thai every nerve will be
strained in the work of placing the pure
patriot and statesman, Horatio Seymour,
at the helm of our Government. The nomi-
nations are acceptable to the people, and
they will rally to their support with un-
bounded enthusiasm, Eg4AJd
The platform is broad and comprehen-
sive, detailing the policy to be pursued for
the welfare of the whole people, clearly de-
fining the views of the Democracy on the
issues of the campaign, showing the griev-
ances we suffer under Radical rule, whose
usurpations are aimed at the destruction OF
our liberties, and appealing to the people to
rally to the support OF Democratic meas
ures, and men in the campaign, to accom-
plish the overthrow of the Jacobin reign.

Not one word Of reproach can the foulest
mouthed opponent of the Democratic par
.ty say against the purity or integrity of
Horatio Seymour. He has filled many i'm
portant stations-all of them with honor to
himself and credit to his. country. AL
though our first choice was the distinguish
ed statesman of the West, George II. PEN
dleton, yet we bow with pleasure to the ac-
tion of the National Convention, and shall
labor with what ability we possess for the
success of its distinguished nominee, Hora-
ito Seymour, of New York. . p i...@e' 7i

The New York Herald argues that
the American people are taxed heavier
than any other nation in the whole
world. The editor Says, .......
We have, estimated that taxation
by the Federal government alone, in
dependent of States, country and mu-
nicipal taxes, amounts to fully S14 a
head-man woman and child-for the
whole population, Take the case of a
laboring man, with a family of five or
six children, and it will be seen that he
pays about 500 year, which on an
average, would be about seventh or
eighth of his earnings. Yes, the whole
working population pay in one or an
other way this enormous and proper
ionate amount of their hard-earned
money. Nearly one days labor out of
the week the year around goes to the
support of the Federal government.
The local taxes imposed by the states,
counties and municipalities amount
probably to nearly as mnch, for in the
end, directly or indirectly, all taxation
comes out of labor. Why, in the city
of New York we are taxed over S23,
900, 600 a year-7-as much as was raised
and expended BY the United States
government thirty years ago. atfl

Mr.. EDITOR Any person wishing
to locate in healthy, thriving town,
may find it to his advantage to take a
a. look at Randolph-Nol..N l in the
eighth range of townships of the
western Reserve. Its settlement was
commenced in the year, 1902, and it
now probably contains more inhabit-
ants, more wealth, and more energy
and enterprise than any other town
ship in Portage county, except Ra-
VIENNA and Franklin. It contains FIVE
meeting houses, one of which is 100 feet
in length and fifty in width, with a
spire 160 feet in height. They have
raised this year from six to ten thou
sand bushels of wheat as surplus to
dispose of. They hare three stores,
well patronized, one tavern, large
grist mill, 1ath and other machinery.
Lands are changing hands frequently
at a large increase in value. Instance !:
Chauncey Tupper paid three thousand
three hundred dollars for four acres,
small house and barn and some or
chard, a few rods west Of the center.
"A few days since, Hiram White sold
twenty six and half acres for TWEEN
ty-eight hundred dollars-sma house
an aaIid barn, no bearing orchard, situated
