The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-06-19

Without ct this time endprsine all tne
views In the following communication, we
can nevertheless commend 1t to the atten-
ton Of delegates now assembling at cincin-
natl as containing food for sober thought,
presented with ability and conciseness:
Thuryunu or Hendrteks.
The various letters and communications
IN regard TO Governor Seymour and his re.
norter1 upwsjIiDgness to sccPpt the ONCE OF
prrstdepi, coupled With the limitations
That Mr.. Ty,icu will not be called on TO DC
a candidate. or II candidate will NOT have
the support OF the Kelly wing OF the DEM
ocs,,tic party I'm the State OF New YORK;
we,lpich force upon US the CONVICTION tnat
ire Convention Should not endeavor TO OBJ
tain a candidate from the eastern States. In
tbe ridst OF such personal rivalry and con-
ten,ion Il beheovcs ms TO look elsewhere

p0Ver of the Convention 30 select candi-
date with every personal sud moral endow.
ment, and from part OF the Ussfed states
whose growth in wealth and population
Gill insure Success.
We trust that the Convention that as
lssembles at Cincinnati 10 select the candi-
dates for President and Vice-President
will look to the great ana Important
changes that have been Effected In the Dusi-
ness and commercial relations OF the vari-
Gus parts of the Uaion 20 guide thcm w

business and pleasure TO the cities OF Gu

more intimate. 1t seems, then, proper and
|appropriate that party looking for sue
cess for its nominees should choose the can
dictate for the first Office from one OF these
states, which has shown such efforts TO
bind her social aud commercial relations
with the crest Democratic States OF the
South. Prominent among these States Is
ohio-with 5er great Cincinnati South
ern railroad penetrating into the heart
of the South, and inviting and re-
|ceiying the cordial support OF the
South Atlantic and Southern States. The
people of this State and Of Illinois.
Indiana, and Wisconsin are tired OF the
sectional war that has been so long kept up
by northern politicians. They desire peace
and restoration OF cordial business and
social relations. 1t is a proper time for the
South to come forward and TO accept these
overtures, aud earnestly press some candi-
date from one Of these great western States
for the highest office IN the gift OF the peo-
pie. Ohie can furnish candidate that will
meet every requirement. Senator Thurman
has occupied and graced every office in the
gift OF the people OF his State-State legisla-
tor, Judge, member OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives, and senator OF the United States.
In every position the office has received
ustre from bis ability, high moral courage,
and eloquence. And in addition he has en-
loved a character for the loftieSt integrity,
free from even the suspicion OF reproacb.
The Democratic party will be fortunate il
they concentrate their votes upon Thurman.
With him as leader we would enter
upon the contest assured from the first
that he would carry our banner for
ward to victory. Upon the same general
principle, the Convention could safely con-
centrate their votes upon Hendricks, OF In
diana, who in 1876 received the nomination
OF Vice-Presdent, and who has every quail
ticatiOn for the office. At all events we
trust that the Convention will not obtrude
upon us some dark horse, whose qualities
are untried and whose previous character
and life are unknown.
One thing we have a right to ask, that no
candidate shall be presented with forgot
len record of ugly facts, an attempted ex-
planaton of which will render them more
conspicuous, and demonstrate their utterly
indeiensibIe character. Give us men OF
brains, intelligence, high moral principles,
and unsuIlied purity OF character, and such
men we have in Seymour, Thurman, and
Hendricks. y.
