Response to the Nomination Of PEN
dleton,
GEORGE II. PENDLEToN FOR GOVERNOR
OF OHIO.

ONo "a III SNO1 AHOASh
borhood in Ohio, the people will re-
joice at the unanimous nomination of
GEORGE III. PENDLETON as the
candidate for Governor of Ohio.
Within the broad bounds of the
Union, in talent, in character, in states
manship, he is the peer of the ablest
and the best. ,
His fame is not confined within the
limits of his native State, but isco-eN-
tensive with the Union, in which he is
regarded as among the ablest leaders
of the Democracy-the looming man"
of the Republic.
They who regarded the d~eelcnsion
of Gen. Rosecrans as the defeat ofthe
Democracy, will now find, when his
place is supplied by Ohio's favorite
son, that they reckoned without their
host.
No nomination could be better re-
ccived-none that will be so cordially
accepted by the conservative men of
the State, anxious that the Executive
affairs be administered by one of the
noblest minds of the Republic.
George H. Pendleton isOne in whom
the State feels proud to call her son.
He is native here and to the manor"
| of Ohioans born. Loving his native
| State as the son loves his mother, his
noble heart never beat a single throb
but for her prosperity and that of the
Republic. Ohio has had able Gov
ernors, but in the future history of the
| State his name will 'tlead all the rest"
The nomination of Mr.. Pendleton
his prompt acceptance, and his
pledge to canvass the State carries with
it an assurance of success. No man
is more loved by the masses of the peo-
ple-none stand higher as a man of
talent-none of purer Morals or o
uprightness of conduct-and we ven
ture the assertion that no nominee for
Office since the days of jackson ever
excited more of enthusiasm, than that
which the name of George III Pendlc-
ton, for Governor of Ohio, will be re
ceived by the Democratic and cOnser-
vative voters of Ohio. That he will
be elected, no man in his sober senses
can have reasonable doubt.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee, the members of which placed
him in nomination, did so without o
dissenting voice. T. Before doing this,
a telegram, signed by all the members,
was transmitted to Mr.. Pendleton.
The reply contained an assurance that
IF nominated by the Democracy he
would accept the situation. This nomi-
nation was then made-every member
of the committee believing that in so
doing they were making 4 Gov
ernor for Ohio who would do honor to
the State. The need of well done
good and faithful servants, is well de-
served by them.
With a full ticket now in the field,
the Democracy must organize for the
contest in every county In the State.
| This done, Radicalism will never again
rally under its present name.

TIE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Mr.. PENDLEToN o GOVERNOR
The wisest thing possible was done
by the Democratic State Central Com
mittee at Columbus ye terday. Ac-
cepting the manifestions of enthusiasm
with which the name of Hon. George
III. Pendleton was received in the re-
cent State Convention, as n clear and
sufficient indication of the popular
preference, and unwilling to incur the
delay in opening the canvas which
would be inevitable if the Convention
were to be reassembled, the members
Of the Committee unanimously con
CURED in rendering to that gentleman
the nomination for Governor of Ohio.
We are confident that every Democrat
in the State, and thousands of the OPP
posing party-who have become dis
gusted with the corruption of its
leaders, and alarmed at the revolu-
tionary tendency of the policy they per
sistin pursuing-will participate in the
satisfaction with which we announce
that Mr.. Pendleton has sacrificed
his well-known personal feelings in the
matter, and consented to accept the
position to which he has been called.
The complete and unquestionable
Identification of MI. Pendleton with
the position taken by the Democracy
in their platform upon the great ques-
tons of the finances, negro suffrage,
and the tariff, guarantees us against
the possibility that any conceivable
tactics of the enemy a divert the at
tention of the people from these par
amount issues of the campaign. In
a fair contest upon these issues, a De-
mocratic triumph is as certain as the
dawning of the election day and with
Mr.. Pendleton for our candidate, we
have the positive assurance that the
issues are squarely presented and full
ly understood. We congratulate the
Democracy and the people ofthe State
upon the suspicious result of the Com
mittee's deliberations ; a result which
we can not doubt will insure the final
overthrow of Radicalism in Ohio, on
the second Tuesday of next October.
The Celeveland Plain Dealer says
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee yesterday unanimously nomi-
mated the Hon. GEORGE H PENDLE-
TON as the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and we are pleased to say
to the readers of the PLAIN DEALER
that he has accepted he honor of lead
ing the Democracy of Ohio in the pre-
sent canvass, and that he will in a
short time commence the canvass of
the State. MI. Pendleton has occupi-
ed a prominent position in the politics
of Ohio and it is unnecessary to speak
at lenghth of his qualifications for the
position for which he is now propos-
