SENATORIAL ELECTORS:
JOHN G. LEE,
ALPHONSO HART.
"GRANT, WILSON AND ViCT0RYr'
In nominating ULYSSES S. GRANT
for President, by acclamation, the
Republican National Convention
simply gave formal expression to
the overwhelming popular sentiment
of the Republican party. The op-
position to his denomination orig
mated not with the people but with
clique of disappointed, ambitious
politicians, whom the people have
now, through their convention, fit
tingly rebuked. aaF -
When the Chicago Convention, in
1868, nominated Gen. GRANT, many
and loud were the predictions that,
if elected he would prove a disap-
pointment and a failure. His mill
tary genius was admitted, he was
given full credit for his great achiev-
ments in the field, his patriotism
was extolled, his valor praised, his
services acknowledged; but there
were many who doubted and feared
when they thought of the require
ments necessary to the proper per-
formance of the duties pertaining
to the highest civil position in our
gift. Is itnot significant that some of
these men-patriots in the truest
sense every man of them-are now
among his most earnest supporters
for another term? Gen. GRANT has
proven a vigilant, patriotic, wise,
safe President; and this is why he
has been renominated, this is why
his reelection is demanded, and
why he will be supported in the
coming contest by thousands of So
Der, thinking men, without regard
to party traditions, pretenses or
promises.
For Vice President the Conven-
ton presents the name of Hon.
HENRY WILSON, of Massachusetts,
one of the noblest men in the nation, a
whole-souled, patriotic, wise states
man, whose record is one of life
long devotion to the best interests
of his country. Mr.. WILSON is, in
the truest sense, a self-made man,
and man of the people. His ear
ly life among the rugged hills of
New Hampshire was hard and, at
times, seemingly hopeless battle
with poverty, but the spirit of the
future statesman was indomitable,
and step by step he fought his way
UP until he reached the highest
Legislative position in the land, a
seat in the United States Senate,
where for nearly twenty years he
has served with distinguished abil-
ity.
With such ticket, and platform
the embodiment Of wise, sound,
safe National policy, the Republi-
can party goes into this campaign
fully equipped for a victorious fight.
The enemy will resort to every arti.
flee known to experienced political
tricksters to divert attention from
the main issues, to confuse and lead
astray the wavering and unthinking
We shall hear much about the break
ing up and melting away of old
parties, political revolution, etc.,
but all the revolution we are likely
to see is the Democratic party, for
the sake of expediency, supporting
a renegade Republican for the Pres
idency. The issues of the cam
paign are already clearly defined.
The battle is to be between Republi-
canism and Democracy, between
political progression and political
retrogression. We are to decide
whether the principles established
through successive contests the past
twelve years, shall be maintained OF
up-rooted. -..-..
Republicans of OHIO against you
will desperate attack be directed,
await it not, but with "GRANT, VIII.
SON and Victory" upon your ban
ners FORWARD ALONG THE WHOLE
LINE! f.'t
