The Republican banner floats joyous
ly in the breeze of popular favor. 1t
bears two gallant names, especially dear
to the hearts of the grand majority
who were true and steadfast in times Of
national trial, and who will proudly
advance our standard to its crowning
triumph. Hearty, united, jubilant ac-
claim greets 1t on every side, and through
out every Commonwealth, from our
northern border to our southernmost
cape. and from ocean to ocean.-[Cin-
cinnati Chronicle. t1c} r
The action of the convention, con-
siderate, practical just and wise, is the
deathknell of Democratic treason, and
carries gloom into the hearts of the ma
tion's villifiers. The unparalel unity
of sentiment exhibited at Chicago is
wonderful as proof of the exhalted
patriotism that moved all the hearts as
by one pulsation, and will be omnipotent
In its effects. No Vaccinations can
make head againstit, no combinations
ofhostility resist 1t. 1t willswell through
the country kindling enthusiasm, 1t
will cheer the faithful, recall the doubt
ing, and win the disafiected. Hence
Colfax' will ring through the nation a
bugle call to battle, and summon the
patriotic hosts to victory.-[ Mo. Demo-
crat.
The Convention has ventured on no
experiment in making its nominations
1t took bond against treachery in the
future, by presenting a candidate for
Vice President whose fidelity and hon
esty are too we'll established to furnish
our enemies any inducment to assassin
ate General Grant after his election.
The ticket is one emineptly worthy of
support and confidence, and for it the
Republicans of the whole Union can
work and vote without misgivings as to
| presents O clear and admirable exposi-
tiou of the fundamental principles o:
the Republican party, whose history
and triumphs are gloriously associated
with the most string, eventful and
momentous period of our national exis-
tance.-[Ind. Jour.
General Grant has the confidence OF
all sections and of all parties. The
selection of Mr.. Colfax for the second
place on..thc ticket is eminently judi
cious. 1t might be hard to name other
candidates who would bring to the party,
on local as we'll as from personal ability,
more of real strength, but his name
will carry with it an assurance of per
sonal fidelity, and of uniform acqnies.
cence in what ever policy the party may
adopt under any emergency, which will
be of special value at this practical crisis
of eur political affairs.-(N. Y. Times
Grant and Colfax is a ticket that will
sweep the country with:the power and
earnestness that swelled tho majority
for Lincoln and Hamlin, when theil
names went forth from the Chicago
wigwam eight years ago. The platform
I adopted by the Convention will meet
the appreciation of every true PATROL
and honest man in the United States
[Chicago Tribune.
