Tha, unparalleled sasaciiy which has been
the distinguishing Characteristic OF every
me,ion thus far made By the adro:t lnanipu-
ls,ors Of tie Liberal Increment, culmin-
a.ed q. Cincinnati yesterday in the nonina-
ton Of the Presidential ticket which We print
above, upon platform deaigned 10 be equally
.creptab!e to al Glasses and all sections.
For any man TO say that the ticket is not
strong one, and will not make a formidable
race, would be simply to advertise his own
ignorance Of American statesmen anc Ameri-
can politics. However much We may regret
the occasion which has brought the ticket
forth: however much VIC may desire 10 aid
thu prese..t administration in lie steady and
orward march 10 well deserved vic.o-
~; however loa,h We mag he to recognize
tie fact tia, owing to an extraordinary and
unprecedented c5Hcatenation Of untoward
CIRCUMSTANCE there is possible danger OF
deserved victory being turned to nnmerited
defeat, through Tie effect that may tie pro-
dIced upon the popular sentiment Of the
country by the re ult Of Yesterdays work at
Cincinnati; nevertheless must We accept
fcis as they exist, and prepare to govern
ourselves accordingly. As the New York
Head expressed it, the other day, this
Cincinnati business has come TO be a serious
thing" aad more serious since its noniina-
lions than il Was before, because its ticket is
us;rong one-stroug, because composed of
good mcD-men whose honesty, integrity,
ability CO patriotism 10 man can question.

hands brief summary Of his eventiul life:

Americans, and one of the most
talented and honest men Of

the AraeEican people, which makes him one
Of the most popular men OF the age and
country. lie will receive a large vote, and
Is by al ODDS the strongest man the Liberals
