This s but prearranged afair, concocted in Wash

and carried out at Philadelphia. The element Of
vitality Y wanting throughout It's very face L.
would be q fantastic Imagination that associated
any such organization as this with the urgent ques-
future or invested its candidates With the repre-.
sentation which they assume for the country.

From the Ogdensburg IN. ~ Journal, June ~
For the Vice Presidency Henry Wilson, now serv-
ing his third Senatorial term from Massachusetts,
has been nominated. Born oflowly parents he was
reared q son Of toll. He comes from obscurity to
the eminence Of q Senator OF the United States

his whole long public career been an adj.
vocate Of the rights Of humanity and de-
rage ana OWL rights than he, and no name except
Grants VIII br1E greater support to the republican
on the ticket which symbols freedom and liberty,
and the Union now and forever.
From the Louisville Courier Journal-G Greeley

The nomination of Wilson for the Vice Presidency
Is terrible blow on Colfax. He has retired him
self from public life number Of times until his
party has retired him in earnest. Poor Colfaxi He
will feel better about 1t next November when
Greeley and Brown fax out Grant and his success
full competitor, than he does now. Henry Wilson
Is perhaps as strong candidate as the Convention
nitely Grants superior. He is possessed Of con-
siderable ability, and is selfmade man, having

Is radical dyed In the wool and an ultra partisan.
From the Bridgeport Conn. Farmer-dsmocrat-
June ~
The second nomination, Senator Wilson, will de-
velop republican weakness In the West. Indiana
was held but slightly, and the afrront offered her
most prominent son will not strengthen the hold.
Indeed, no stronger afrront to that State could be
conceived than to renominate Grant and reject
Colfax, to repudate the one-term principle In the
case Of Grant and accept 1t In relation to his Presi
Dental colleague; That no offence against Colfax
mated is strong one In many points, and the stu
Gratis. But one more National Convention remains
to be held and upon that as we believe depends the
Wise action there viii name the next President OF
that we feel assured.
From the Lockport IN. ~ Union-democratic-
June ~
The Philadelphia ONCE holders convention nomi-
mated Henry Wilson, alias Jeremiah Goliath, for
Vice President. The most conspicuous act Of Mr..
Wilson's Senator life was remarkable speech made
in the early part Of the war; in which he denounced
further enlstments. When, at subsequent date,
the Union forces were made to suffer from the mere
want Of men, Mr.. Wilson In public speech, deliver
ed at New York, we believe, denied making his Sem
ate speech. An examination Of the Congressional
Globe discovered It, however, and Mr.. Wilson ap-
think 1t was less innocent lie than Grant was de-
tected in by the members OF Mr.. Johnsons Cabinet.
From the GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Courier-republican-
June 81
With the gentleman occupying the second place
on the ticket Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts,
the laboring men Of the nation will be especially
gratifed. In the East he is known as the champion
OF the workingman. Like his distinguished pre-
decess0r In the Vice Presidential chair he has
fought his way up from the ranks, and Is living
embodiment of the excellence Of our free institu-
tions, that recognize no titled class nor favorite
caste. The bone and snew OF the land will rally to
him with zest and enthusiasm. Their power and
influence s again recognized by the great republi.
can party, in its again selecting one formerly OF
themselves, and now distinguished advocate OF
their rights for the second highest place In It's gift
This Is o fitting tribute to their excellence and
worth.
From the Detroit INSTRUMENTATION IL
For the office OF Vice President no ADLER nor
better man could be selected in the country than
Henry Wilson, OF Massachusetts. Mr.. Colfax would
have been as sure OF q denomination as General
Grant had he not about year ago written letter
positively declining to be q candidate and declar-
ing his fixed Intention to retire from politics. That
otherwise have competed with him. In selecting
Wilson, therefore, the country does not express
any lack Of confidence In or atfection for Mr. Col
lects successor who is his friend, and In whose
success Mr.. Coax Will rejoice with the rest OF us:
Mr.. Wilson Is one of the ablest and most fair and
candid members Of the Senate.
