-1S76

The next Union Republican National

didates for President and Vice President
of the United States will be held in the
city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the
18th day of June, 1876, at IL o'clock

each State equal to twice the number of
its Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, and of two delegates from each

In calling the convention for the
election of delegates, the committees of
the several States are recommended to
invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters, without regard to past
political differences or previous party
affiliations, who are opposed to reviv-
ing sectional issues, and desire to pro-
mote friendly feeling and permanent
harmony throughout the country by
maintaining and enforcing all the con-
stitutional rights of every citizen, in-
Guiding the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage without intimidation
and without fraud; who are in favor of
the continued prosecution and punish
ment of all official dishonesty, and of an
economical administration of the Gov
ernment by honest, faithful and capable
officers; who are in favor of making
such reforms in government as expert
ence may from time TO time suggest;
who are opposed to impairing the credit
of the nation by depreciating any of its
obligations. and in favor of sustaining
in every way the national faith an finan-
cial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of American
liberty, and should be maintained abso-
lutely free from sectarian control; who
believe that, for the promotion Of these
ends, the direction of the government
should continue to be confined to those
who adhere TO the principles of 1776,
and support them as Incorporated in the
Constitution and the laws; and who are
i'll favor of recognizing and strengthen
ing the fundamental principle of Ma
tional Unity in this Centennial Anniver-
sary of the birth of the Republic.

The Cincinnati Gazette's correspond
ent has been feeling the pulse of the Re
publican members of our Legislature in
regard to choice for candidates for the
Presidency with the following result;
Out of 6S of the IS Republican members
interviewed, 81 were for Hayes, 8 for
Blaine, for Bristow, and undecided.
We think it very doubtful whether any
other candidate can unite all the ele-
ments of his party in his State as can
Gen. HAYES.

editor of the Marietta Register, and
always as faithful worker for the cause.
He served bis District acceptably as SEN
ator. and his nomination will strength
en- the ticket. as he is well known as
a talented and genial gentleman. No
bettsr nomination could be made.

SENATOR SHARON, OF Nevada, passed
through Chicago last Monday, and was
interviewed by Tribune reporter. He
expressed the opinion that the coming
man for the Presidency would be from
the Middle or Western States, and that
more than likely Gov. HAYES would be
the lucky man. In reply to the objec-
ton that HAYES had not the experience
of BLAINE, CoNKLING, and Others, Sen
ator SHARON said that ability is the best
thing, and then it is a good thing to have
plain, straight, honest man at the head
of the ticket; that while the others may
have these qualities, he considered Gov.
HAYES remarkable man in these re-
spects. He also gave it as his opinion
that HAYES will develop an unsupported
amount of strength. He gave this as the
feeling of the people generally of the
Pacific Slope. HAYES stock is evidently
high, and rising.

THE people of Ottawa county are
having a little sensation. An examiner
was appointed and duly qualified ac-
cording TO law to mako an examination
of the County Treasury. On going into
the office and demanding the keys of
the safe he was forcibly elected by the
Treasurer, who, perhaps, expected to
gain time enough to ''fix things" to suit
him. The examiner had evidently never
learned ''how not to do it." He should
have called at the residence of the
Treasurer, when he was absent from
home, and asked his wife for the keys

will do well to ''look a little out" for
their legal tender.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

FEB. 22.-In the Sea.l:,, the House
joint resolution requiring County Audit
ors to report to the Auditor of State the
amounts o delinquent personal taxes in
their respective counties for 1874 was
amended by substituting 1873" for
1854, and as amended adopted. The
House bill to authorize the b oard of l.
ueation of Ashland, Ashland County, to
issue bonds to pay existing Indebtedness
was passed In the House petition
was presented from Wyandot county,
asking for the enactment of a law EN-
bodying the provisions of the McCon-
nelsville ordinance. One from Han
cock county, asking for the passage of
the Haines game bill, and one against
the passage of law authorizing County
Commissioners to levy tax for road
purposes; also from Cuyhoga, asking the
representation of all schools of medicine
in the proposed State Board of Health;
from Trumbull against any change in the
mining law; from the State Grange of
Ohio, asking for the passage of the bill
to incorporate Granges of the Order of
Patrons.
THOSE with whom ''the wish is father
to the thought, are starting all sorts of
rumors in regard to disagreements be-
tween GRANT and BRIsTow. The deal
ers in crooked" would do anything in
their power to bring about rupture be-
tween these men who are pushing them
to the wall. Their motto is to "divide
and Destroy" but they will fail in their
object. One after another the ''sour
mash" men are receiving their dues.
Gen. GRANT is determined to continue
''to fight it out on this line, if it takes
all summer" Babcock's friendly and
intimate relation with the President,
have not in the least shielded him. The
Republican party has the courage to
punish her wrong-1oers.
