The delegates selected for the Nation
al Convention were known to the Con-
venti0n as being earnestly In favor of
denomination of General Grant. ejWe
| thus have the voice of the RePubli lean
party in the first two states in which
| delegates have been appointed 1t is
substantially the same voice that was
uttered by the State Republican Gon4
yentioa held last year. The .Republi-f
seansy of siRe Rehnsylvania, for example,
adopted the following resolution in

eReaokged, J, That the Administration
of President Grant meets the full ap-li

which the national debt is being stead

penditures of the Governments, the
honest collection pof the. revenue, his.
fidelity toJIthe principles of human
rights, through which the liberty of all is
to be sfcured in every part of the land,
his loyalty to the people in having no
the spotless integrity of his Admins ]

The Republicans ofOhio, after hay- |
ing referred to- the results of General |
Grants Administration, spake thus in !
their State Convention: II 1ii 1 - q 40
S "The head ofan administration thus !
distinguished by success and statesman I
ship is justly entitled to be considered !
as wise and careful civil magistrate;
and his uniform Difference to public |
sentiment shows him to be one whom
the country can trust fully, having re-
deemed the pledge he made before en-
teFiHg upon the duties of Chief Magis- I
trate, that he would have no policy of /
his own to enforce against the viii of
the people" h-I
The Republican State Convention OF.
New York endorsed the President in
the following resolutions: EH'iil9.ti

These examples, cited, from the three
great states of the Union, are simply
specimens of the general views and
feelings of the Republican party, as ex-
pressed in its state convention of 1871.
That these expressions of sentiment
correctly represented the great body of
Republican voters, is conclusively
shown by the fact that in twenty-four
state elections held during the year,
Republicans carried seYenteen.i The

will cast electoral yotesl enough ytO4l
choose the next President. There can lsi
benz more decise proof, short of his Z
own reelection, that General Grant has /
the confidence and warm esteem ofthe
people. The demonstrated fact no
partisan ingenuity can set aside. We
are, hence, not at all surprised at there
cent action of Republicans in Georgia
and Connecticut - 1t foreShad owsl what.
will l5a the action in the other States;
the aetiohs0f 0ffhes National Convention Vi
that meets Bext1JunB, and the actioniofl
the people when thesday for voting 1,
comes. We predict that General Grant
will-1ibe nosninstedd by acelamation,
without theformality of q ballot; and. ,
