COLUMBUS, June 21.-The Conven.
ton was called to order at half-past
ten by r. D. Harris, Chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee. Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor
of Athens County, was elected tenn
porary chairman. On taking the
chair he said:
am sincerely grateful for this expression
Of your confidence, in conferring upon me the
honor to preside over the deliberations of this
Convention. The presence of this host of Re-
publicans and the enthusiasm everywhere
shown, is conclusive evidence that the cam
paign about to open will close amid the tri-
umphant shouts Of of the people In honor of a
decisive victory of the party here represented.
To be member of the Republican party is a
proud distinction, as it Is to wear the higher
title of American citizen. We are marshaling
here for the preliminary work of the great ma
tional battle Of 1872. This party has no un-
pleasant retrospect. No history of violated
pledges, no records of unfaithfulness to its
promise arise to-day to suggest new depart
ure. Great applause.
We are proud of its record in the past con-
fdent of its integrity IN the future. 1t stands
by the grand aggressive and progressive party
OF the country, chained to no dead dogma Of
the past. 1t Is ready to meet new issues with
the same devotion to humanity, truth and JUS
tice that it has ever exhibited. Coming here,
imbued with these sentiments, there can be no
personal animosities to disturb our delibera-
tions. The Republican party will renew its
pledges of fidelity to the memories of the past,
and go forward to triumphant victory in the
future.
The remarks were greeted with
prolonged applause.
A very eloquent and impressive
prayer was then offered by Rev. Da-
did H. Moore, of Columbus. He
alluded touchingly to the bereaved
family of the late 9. L. Vallandigham
