charge of public duty, and they have
found them all. LAppIause.
10 these dsys OF wild and criminal
expenditure, they demand simplicity
OF life and moderation in expenditure,
and they see both OF them before
them. They especially demand purity
Of private life, and they find il before
them in the highest degree. All OF
these are seen by us in our Governor,
Rutherford b. Hayes.
AS Republicans, who believe the
triumph Of the National Republican
party in 1876 essential to the Nations
welfare, we see In the nomination OF
Governor Hayes that which will go
far to assure that triumph. Cheers.
In Ohio In 1875, after thoroughly
contested campaign, which brought
by 35, 600 to the bsllot-box the largest
vote ever polled, in an aggregate OF
593, 900 votes there was an average
majority OF 4, 800 only, less than one
vote in hundred. Any unfortunate
breath in public opinion would blow
away that vote; may not that breath
be stirred by very slight cause? We
all know that the name Of Governor
Hayes is the strongest in our State.
ICheers.1 Last year we forced him
from his chosen retirement to q eau
didacy, believing that his name was
necessary to success. Ii Is Lot too
much to say that we now zee that we
were then correct. In 1875 the vote
OF Ohio is essential to Republican sue
GEES. That vote we must give II
possible. While we make no
threat to Republicans elsewhere, and
assure them that il possible, Ohio in
any event will elect Republican elec-
tors, yet we know that, with r. b.
Hayes 1T the head Of the ticket, we
largely increase the chances of that
success.
The frequent illusions in tue speech
to Governor Hays were emphasized
by plentiful amount of applause, but
only on one or two occasions did the
storm of demonstration amount to an
uproarious Outburst. In fact, the en-
tire proceedings at this preliminary
meeting were of straightforward Jusi-
ness order, without any vast amount
of gush. In looking over the sea Of
faces In the parqnette and dress circle,
where delegates were seated, one
could recognize many faces familiar
in State affairs.
In the immediate front Of the plat
form, in the first rank Of seats, was
the portly form of Archbishop Sands,
and little further back Senator Hen
~ KessIer looked solid and eomforta-
bic as usual; and still further back
Ben. Eggleston, placid and happy.
Mr.. w. E. Davis and several MEM
bers of the Little Legislature" orna-
mented seats in the vicinity.
Over to the right, in the dress circle,
was Hon. Sam. Craighead, of Dayton,
and near by the ever-watchful Bick-
ham.
In the imm ediate front Of the stage
at the left was the pleasant face Of ex-
Treasurer Sidney 8. Warner, of Lo-
rain, and with him, as delegates
from the Eighteenth District, q num-
Der of legislators and ex-members,
among whom the fine presence of
Hon. w. II. Upson was prominent.
Back little in the dress circle was
Mayor Marx, of Toledo, and around
him a group Of local celebrities,
shining poll, McCune,
Alex, Reed, Clark Waggoner, Brown
Of Lucas, and so on.
A formal list of candidates for the
honor of being named in the preliral-
nary organization was choked of, af-
ter half dozen names had beer an
VIM. Leonard, Of Cuyahoga,
was appointed temporary Secretary.
The roll OF Districts was called,
and the following committees an
