Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-05-11
The Governorship.


Who is to be the Republican cam
didate for Governor. in 1871 In less
than six weeks the question must be
answered.
The Importance of the election in
Ohio this year cannot well be overse-
timated. Shall we preserve that
which we have fought for and won?
The Democrats fully appreciate the
issues. They will work with all their
power to give prestige to .heir Ohio
candidate for the Presidency, and
give tone to their coavass for nation
al election in 1872, and they strongly
hope to carry the next Legisia
ture, to win another United States
Senator, and to secure to them the
districting OF the State for Replescn-
tatives in Congress. Valuable prizes.
to be sure Shall they carry that
Legislature, or shall we? For this,
Hamilton county will be the battle
ground. On that contry, in all hu-
man bropapility, depends the politi-
cal complexion of both branches of
the General Assembly for 1872 10.
Who is the man to carry Hamilton
country, beyond any reasonable
doubt, and at the same time make a
vigorous and successful convass in the
rest of the State?
That man is Gen Edward Noyes,
of Cincinnati. Not over forty years
of age, in the full vigor of fine ply
sical powers. except the loss of a leg
in the famous Atlanta campaign. when
colonel of the 3Sth Ohio, of tirs.- clas 5
intellectual abilities, he is a ringing
popular speaker, and able to make an
untiring and complete convass
among the people in every part of
the State. Commanding the respect
of all parties at home, of good edu
cation, easy address, high PERSONAL
character apd with no entanglin2
clique ALLIANCES, he is the man for the
candidate and the Governor, the man
to achieve the full measure OF tri
umph for the Republicans of Hamil
ton comfy and Of the great State OF
Ohio, placing us secure for the Presi-
dental election in 1872.
From the Cincin natl Gazette.
In answer to statements made in
various papers with reference to the
position of this paper in regard to
the approaching nomination for Gov
ernor, we desire to state that the
Gazette has no candidate for that Of
flee. 1t is not our purpose to press
or oppose the claims of any gentle
men named or likely to be named in
that connection. We have our pre-
ferences. of course, but these are held
wholly subservient to the Interests of
the Republican party. The conven
ton will undoubtedly nominate the
man that the majority may deem the
strongest candidate; and to this end
attention should be carefully and i'm
partially directed, without regard to
what may be called personal claims
or sectional considerations The
man that will best represent the prin-
ciples of the party; who will give the
| highest tone to the canv ass and com
mand the most votes, wherever he
may be found and whatever nay be
his name, should receive the nomina-
tioD. In making the selection, it is
to be hoped the convention will not
have much difficulty, and that the
choice will be made with re sonable
degree of unanimity, in order that
there may be entire harmony in the
canvass and a development OF the full
| ST rem 9th of fhe marty
| In this connection we may remark
| that Mr. Wade is not q candidate in
opposition to anybody; that he does
not desire the place, and would sup
port more cheerfully any other per
son that the convention may select
than he would advocate his own e.ec
ton. The report that he has been
! brought out in the Interests of the
administration, or Of any other can
didate for any Office. is wholly with
out foundation. He would accept the
nomination and stand up squarely
and boldly for the Redublican party
if ordered into the field by the con
vention. This is all there is Of Mr..
Wade's candidacy.
