Dent Grant be nominated for the Vice
Presidency by acclamation. The Sherman

is against Grant, and Baine's position one
of difficulty. The plain fact is that Sher-

nation.-Each citizen of Ohio who believes
in republican forms of government, and
has been in the habit of ting the Repub-

the high resolve not to support the
Third-term candidacy if 1t is pro-
vided by the Republican organization, can
appear as effectually as if in person at Chi
cago, by sending us his name TO- lay or to-
morrow. The citizens of OHIO are particu-
larly designated, because Ohio is the Oct :
Der State and the pinch of the battle will
be right here. The Democrats have not
yet nominated their State ticket, holding
it in reserve in order to put forward for
the October contest the candidate for Sec
retary OF State most likely to win. They
are waiting for the Republicans to put
themselves into the Third-term hole at
@ icago, and then they will capture the
great and only October State Nominate

The Gazette, early in the agitation of the
candidacy, made what it meant to be a
true representative canvass of Republican
opinion in this State. This showed that
the larger number preferred Sherman, the
next larger number preferred Blaine, and
that comparatively small number
preferred Grant. But while pref
erence fol Sherman or Blaine did
not mean that they would not vote for
either, the preference for either of these,
and of others that were named. did in q
great number Of cases mean an opposition
of principle to the assault upon the illus
trious precedents which have limited the
| reflections of President to the second
term. All our subsequent information
tends to support this as representative of
public opinion. Therefore are we appre-
hensive that there is conviction which
can not be prohed away. and that the
trust that all Republicans will vote for
whoever may be nominated, no matter by
" hat strong methods, would be, as our
valued contributor says, Suicidal"
