noble work and laid broadly the foun-
dations of a splendid victory for the
party and country The people should
see to it that their own efforts in the
campaign shall be as earnest and as
well directed as the action ef their
chosen Representatives of Philadel-
phia. The skies are already radiant
with promise Let them be resplen-
dent with victory in November next
So far (says the Cleveland Herald
as real, true enthusiasm is concerned.
the nominations of Grant and Wilson
have excited degree that augurs
the brilliant success of the Republican
ticket. We could not have strong
or ticket The material does not ex-
ist in eithes party, or in the country,
out OF which TO make stronger tick
ct The ticket will command the
support Of the soldiers, and of the
friends of the soldiers /; it will COM
mand the support of the workingmen,
and it will command the support of
the lately enfranchiscd race-and it
viii win, let Baltimore nominate
Greeley or ANY other man"
The Cincinnati Times SAYS: The
voice of the people demanding that
Ulysses ). Grant should again be put
in the front of a quadrennial political
contest, also expressed another de-
mand--that the convention which ex-
ecuted the formal act of his nOmina-
ton should also enunciate in unam-
blguous phrase declaration of prin-
ciples 80 broad and so thorough that
every honest American could stand
by IT and agree to it with unhesita-
ting confidence, such as freemen place
in the cardinal doctrines of our svstem
of government Had the convention
at Philadelphia ignored either OF
these plain expressions of the.people' 5
desire, it would have been failure.
The mcn selected are
SO well known to the nation that it
seems almost superhuous TO mention
them at great length. We shall not
do So The people of this country
will never SO far discredit themselves
a. to prove insensible to or forgetful
of the services of ULYSSES 5. Grant
in all positions of trust and honor TO
which he has been called. He be-
longs to the nation. He is now, and
will be for four wears from next
March, President of the United States.
OF Henry Wilson it is not needful
that much be said Like his assO-
ciate on the ticket, he belongs to the
people of this nation. He is one of
the people, son of toll, self educa-
ted, self-made in the purcst and best
sense, and in the highest positions to
which he has been called has never
forgotten that the same heights of
honor to which he has attained are
accessible to all who choose to strive
for them. He knows that any tan
ner of Galena' or any shoemaker
from Natickr NAV, under this free
government, come up into the higher
places of honor, and to all such his
open hand of sympathy has ever been
extended in cordial helping. His re-
cord as a public man is part of the
ineflaeeable history of the nation.
He is a man of the modern period,
and in the stirring events of the last
twelve years has played a prominent
part. 1t would exhaust our space to
tell 1.-THE of the things that Henry
Wilson has done to promote the cause
of human liberty, dignity and labor,
and elevate the conditions of the toll
ers of the land. He may safely trust
his present claims in the hands of the
people
On such a platform, and with such
men as Philadelphia has furnished,
the Republican party will enter upon
a new era of usefulness and success
The \. Y. Ereaiag Post saws that
as between the Presidential candi-
dates-Grant and Greeley-the supe-f
riority rests largely with the former.
The nomination of Greeley rests al
most solely on the plea of availability
on account of supposed personal pop
ularity. The Post thinks-and no
one knows the character of Mr.. Gree
ley better than William Cullen Bry-
ant--that this assumed popularity of
Greeley isa sheer absurdity, and rests
upon no better foundation than the
supposition that, because he is laugh
ed at good-naturedly, his monstrous
assumption of simplicity of character,
of heart, and integrity of
