REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES-RE-
PUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The National Republican Convention in
casting all the votes of the Convention for
U. S. Grant tor President expressed the will of
the Republican party No one but Grant could
have been nominated by the Convention
without giving general dissatisfaction to their
constituency. The Republican electors had
determined, as far az they could determine,
that Grant should be renominated and re-
elected. And the Convention in ronomi-
mating him made one advance in his reelec.
ton. AS a candidate, Grant is the right
man in the right place. It now remains for
the people to ratify his nomination by his
election next November.
Henry Wilson, the candidate for Vice Pres
ident, is the right man for the place Equal
in ability to CoIfax, he has the advantages
over him oflocation, and of being more nearly
allied with the workingmen. Wilson will give
strength to the candidates and help to make
certain their election.
The platform refers briefly to what the Re-
publican party has done during the eleven
what evidently remains for it to do. What
the Republican party has done, as set forth
in the platform, shows conclusively that it
has been party of progress. And what it
proposes to do. shows as conclusively, that it
intends to continue to be party of progress.
And what it has done, and what it proposes
to do, is eminently just and proper. The Re-
publican party may well be satisfied with its
past history, and look forward with pleasure
to what its future history is 20 be, as indicat-
ed By the platform. Progress is still in the fu-
ture and it remains for tho Republican party
to make the progress. And the platform is
evidence that the party will be equal to the
work awaiting it,

melodies associated with the late war
which they desired to have played and
sung. This sort of thing continued for
fifteen minutes or more, and then the
convention got down to business.
The great contest in the convention was
for Vice President, and this was between
Colfax and Wilson.
The result Of the first ballot was Colfax
32l1a, Wilson 3601a Noyes of Ohio 1,
Maynard OF tennessee "a, Davis of Texas
Is, Lewis of Virginia 90.
Three hundred and seventy seven votes
were necessary to a choice. Virginia, at
this juncture, changed 90 of her votes
from Lewis to Wilson, and the remainder
to Colfax. This gave Wilson 38416, and
his nomination was assured. Various
States hurriedly changed Co Wilson, until
ex-senator Henry S Lane. Of Indiana
moved that the nomination of that GOOD
man and distlpg ulshed patriot be made
Unanimous, which was carried with GREAT
cheering, and now again the entire audi
ence rose to it's feet, frantic4lly aDDlaudipo

for the completed ticket.
The President officially that
U. s. Grant and Henry Wilson were the
nominees Of this convention.
This was Che occasion for a fresh out
burst of applause When quiet was
restored he also announced that he would
inform the nominees IF the action Of the

Disconnected SMUGGLERs-It is a fact
probably better known to the custom house
officials than to outsiders that at least every
tenth woman who crosses the Detroit river car
ries smuggled goods. The goods may be tea
coffee, socks, thread, ribbons, or something else
of no great value, but the intent to smuggle is
there, and the success in bringing over a small
lot is nearly always an inducement for the
smuggler to try the game on a larger scale.
Men may and do smIgge clothing now and
then, but it is the female sex which carries the
burden of the guilt. The custom house officials
at the ferry dock in this city are as vigilant as
officers can be, but what chances have they

QUADRUPLE AMPUTATIoN.-The British Med
zeal journal tells the story following: "Our
readers may remember that in the autumn of
1869, Dr. Begg Of Dundee, amputated the whole
Of the extremites in the case OF a young woman
named Robertson, whose hands and feet had as.
sumed a gangrenous condition, the proXimate
cause Of which was attributed to embolism.
After the operation n subscription was raised,
and the poor woman sent to London where, al
the request of some influential friends of hers,
Mr.. Heather Blgg had constructed for her some
specially devised prohetlc appliances, in which
the distinguishing features were that the arli-
hcal hands were automatic in action, opening
and shutting their fingers at the will Of the pa.
tient This peculiar prehensility gave her the
power Of grasping even so small a substance as

comparative lucrative livelihood by

she do this that one was sent by her

also SO arranged as to enable her to stand and

a few days since, which is now before us, she
writes that she can walk alone quite easily with

the only one on record in which the whole OF the

If the editors of Greeley journals really be-
lieved that the election of their candidate was
probable, or even possible, no doubt they would
by this time begin to have something to say
about the composition of his cabinet, but, while
they cannot refrain from predicting changes in
Grants cabinet, on the strength of rumors
sometimes, perhaps, but more often suggested by
their own wildly ingenious fancy, not one of
them seems to have for himself or to attribute
to the public the slightest curiosity as to Mr..
Greeley's choice Of advisers in the absurdly i'm.
probable event of his election. They thus tacit-
ly admit that their pretended confidence in
Greeley's chances is a sham, and that, in fact,
they are as well convinced, as every intelligent
person now is, that Grants election is as certain
as any future event can be. This unconscious
admission of the emptiness of their boasts is
perfectly natural and quite excusable.

PARIS, 9th Oct, 1872.
Gentlemen-I have been honored by your
communication Of the 14th September in which
you inform me that the democratic state CON
vention and the liberal republican state cOnyen-
ton had united in nominating me as their can
didate for governor Of Massachusetts. This nom
ination was made while was on voyage to Eu-
rope, and without any previous hint or sugges
ton that it was contemplated by anybody. 1t was
an entire surprise to me. heard of it first on
landing at Liverpool, and lost no time in send
ing my declination to Mr. Bird, both by tele-
graph and letter. For me there was no other
alternative. / had left home with reluctance,
to exchange the fatigues and excitement of
political contest for that of repose, which had
become essential TO the re-establishment of my
health. Good friends who knew my condition
urged this step-tO which was reconciIed only
by the consideration that my physicians had
forbidden, for time, all public labor on my
part The prompt decination which sent was
rendered necessary by the system of life
had commenced, In acknowledging your com
munication, | beg TO repeat this declination,
most sincerely desiring that no person shall vote
for me. Beyond this personal wish, which |
trust will not be disregarded, is the considera-
ton that, if chosen, | could not serve AT the
same time, | express my grateful sense of the
trust reposed in me by The conventions which
united in this nomination. Mya acknowledge
ments are especially due to the convention rep
resenting felloWctizens to whom | have been
Tor long time opposed on important public
questions. beg them to believe that l am not
insensible to their good will, which is enhanced
by the sign it affords that past differences are
absorbed in common desire to secure for our
country the Incompatible blessings of peace
and reconciliation under the safeguard of good
government, and with the principles of the dec
laration of independence as our rule of conduct.
Hoping earnestly for the triumph of this cause,
am, gentlemen, very faithfully yours,
