When Indiana was called Mr.. Cumback
took the platform and withdrew the name Of
Merton and cast 25 votes for Hayes tnd
for Bristow. This was followed by i'm
mense and long continued applause, and
was the signal for a general stampede to
Hayes. Kentucky, through General lIar-
Ian, withdrew Bristow and cast her whole
vote for Hayes. Massachusetts went to
Hays with II votes and Mississippi gave
him her 16 solid When New York was
reached Mr.. PomerJy took the stand and
withdrew Conkling's name, casting 81
votes in favor of ''unity and victory" The
Pennsy lvania delegation retired in the
midst Of the balloting in disorder, and on

ranft's name and cast 80 votes for Blaine
and "a for Hayes. Other States followed
aud it was evident that the vote was very
close, but before the roll. call was finished
it was seen that Hayes had been nominated

excitement, and the whole convention
seemed to have gone mad. As the ballot
proceeded aud delegation after delegation

TIE FINAL BALLOT

Let Us Organize.

There is no doubt but that the pol
itical campaign to be fought this fall,
and just commenced by the Cincinnati
nominations, will be one of the hard
est fought and most hotly contested,
that the country has seen for years,
in the face of this fact it becomes
the duty of Republicans all over the
country to organize and there is no
better way than to commence by hay
ing each township appoint Vigilance
Committee, composed of men who
will work, and work in earnest for
the success of the party this fall. 1t
is true that, in the Presidential con-
test, unless the Democrats depart from
their usual folly of placing in nomina-
ton some fire eating anti war candi-
date success will perch on the Repub-
lican banners, nevertheless, victory
comes not by slothfulness, and the
watchword of Eternal Nigilance'
should inspire us to our work. Be
sidessthe Presidential contest we have
a member of Congress, n member of
the Assembly and various other
county offices to be filled, at the COM
ing election, of great local Importance.
Good men should be selected for the
various positions to be filled and then
by thorough organization we stand a
good chance of success. Organization
is everything. Hundreds Of votes
are lost that might be gathered III
with little eXcrtion. Plenty of men
care little OF nothing whether they
vote ut all, even in Presidential
year, and it is for the purpose of urg-
ing all such to vote that we suggest
the idea of Vigilance Committee.
The harvest is before us and work will
gather in the sheaves, after which we
may rest in happy contemplation OF
the results of our industry.

THE TICKET.

This week we nail the Republican
colors to our mast head, with the de
termination to flight it out OH this
line if it takes all summer Although
we sincerely regret the defeat of
James G.. Blaine, at the same time
Rutherford b. Hayes of Ohio is an ex-
cellent substitute. The ticket is en-
dorsed by all the leading men and
newspapers of the country, and as both
gentlemen have been successful in past
political battles the chances for success
seem brilliant, Next week we will
give a history of each candidate. And
now three cheers for Hayes, Wheeler,
Victory, and the perpetuation of
American institutions.
