Our Nominees

The Hon. Chas. Foster, who has
so ably represented this District, was
again nominated for Congress, by the
Convention which met at Clyde, on
Wednesday last. The convention
was one of the largest and most re-
spectacle ever held IN the District,
and the degree Of enthusiasm which
prevailed was such as to show that
our candidate will receive the hearty
support ofthe party, and will be sue
cessful in the race for Congress, ov.
er any opposition the Dolly Vardens
may present. His speech before the
Convention was a powerful one, but
too lengthy for our space at this
time. C. G. Keech, the Candidate
for Presidential eiector, is unexcep-
tionable, and man well known and
respected throughout the district.
We give the proceedings of the Con-
vention in another column.

THE Democracy Of jackson coun-

at the bidding of a corrupt faction.
The following cal for a Democratic
meeting in jackson county, was pub
lished in the jackson Standard:
"All true Democrats, opposed to
the disintegratlon of the Democratic
party, by a bargain and sale between
a few tricksters of the Republican
party, and dishonest politicians in
the Democratic party, by which we
are deprived Of our right to vote for
a President of the United States,
without greatly stultifying ourselves,
are requested to meet in the Court
House, at jackson, Ohio, on Satur-
day, July 2Oth, 1872, at l o'clock P.
NJ, to take counsel together, and
nominate true Democratic county
ticket, and transact such other bus
mess as the Convention may deter
mine. By order of the People.
Yet, in the face of this, and a
thousand other corroborative facts
that are daily coming to light, we are
told that the Democracy will go solid
for Greeley!

The New York Tribune, Greeley's

journal which has protested against
the publication of the document and
solely because it will show forth the

we're engaged in the plot, and with
whom Horace Greeley held un-

it carefully, and remember that Ho-
