QUICK CAMPAIGN.
The campaign was not very exciting
one, and the excitement produced by the
passage of the Kansas and Nebraska bill
having subsidized to considerable extent,
manysof the American party with Demo-
cratic proclivities did not feel like sup
porting so ultra an anti-slavery man as
Mr.. Chase. and the consequence was that
the election was very close. Indeed, it
was several days before it could be de-
termined which party was victorious.
Henry B. Payne, the present Democratic
United States Senator from Ohio, was the
candidate of his party in 1857 for Gov
ernor, and the majority of Mr.. Chase over
his opponent was only 1,503, and that, of
Welker for Lieutenant-G Governor was but
COL. The Democrats elected twenty State
Senators and the Republicans ID, while

tage, had the honor of presiding
permanently over this the first
clean-cut Republican Convention of
Ohio. The rotund and forid Rufus P.
spaulding was again the spokesman of
the Com mittee on Resolutions, as he was
at the Fusion Convention the year before,
and his face was just as red and his bay
window just as prominent as ever. One
of the resolutions which the Judge read
declared that the only issue before the
people was, "Whether freedom be Ma
tional and slavery sectional, or slavery
be National and freedom sectional"
Judge Josiah Scott was nominated for
Supreme Judge for the long term, and
Judge O. Bowen for the short term, with
Anson Smythe for School Commissioner,
and John Waddle for Board of Public
Works. The convention appointed the
following delegates at large to the Re-
publican National Convention, which
was to meet in Philadelphia on the 18th
of June: John Paul, of Defiance; VIM.
Dennison, jup., of Franklin; Thomas
Spooner, of Hamilton; R. P. Spaulding,
of Cuyahoga; A P. Stone, of Franklin,
and E. r. Eckley, of Carroll. Caleb B.
Smith, of Hamilton, and Jacob Perkins,
of Trumbull, were selected as Repub-
lican Electors-at-1arge. Geo. Hoadly was
prominent candidate before the Repub-
lican Convention of '56 for Supreme
Judge.
F. D. Kimball, Attorney-General oi
Ohio, having died after the meeting ot
the convention, the Central Committee
placed the name of C. P. Walcott, of Sum
| NIT County, on the ticket to fill the va
cancy in that Office.
| THIRTEEN OUT OF TWENTY.
The State ticket selected by this con-
vention was elected by about 10000, and
the Republicans elected thirteen out OF
the twenty congressman. But Fremont's
majority for President was only 16,623
which was considered great victory for
| the young party, when taken into con-
sideration with the fact that Mr.. Fill
more, the candidate of the American
party, received $4,000 votes.

Dennison at once took rank among the
most shrewd and energetic politicians OF
Ohio.

on the second ballot for Supreme Judge;
w. B. Thrall for Comptroller on the first
ballot, and c. P. Wolcott for Attorney
General by acclamation. There was a
spirited contest for Board of Public
Works, eleven candidates having been
voted for on the first ballot. John T. Mar
tin was finally nominated on the fifth bal
lot.
VICTORIOUS.
This ticket was elected by an average
majority of 2O,966, while the Republican
majority on the Congressional vote was
1896, the Republican electing fifteen out
of the twenty members of Congress. The
five Democratic members were c. L. Val
landigham, William Allen, William How
ard, Charles o. Martin and 8. s. Cox.
Among the Republican members were
such men as Tom Corwin, Ben Stanton,
John Sherman and John A. Bingham.
UNCHANGED.
The people of Hamilton County were
Just as queer lot as they are now. The
Germans and the Know-Nothings joined
in the "battle-cry of freedom," and car
ried the county against the Democracy by
from I,500 to 1000, and even Licking
County only gave a majority of 367 for
the Democratic ticket. Old Monroe was
squelohed that year, too, by Noble. Bel
mont and Guernsey, Theaker, Repub-
lican, being elected to Congress by those
counties, having only little over 100
majority; but even at that early day
mother Monroe came up smiling with
her little 200 Democratic majority.

We now come to the State Convention
of 1858, which was held on the 18th day
of July, or on the third anniversary of
the birth of this bold, dashing young
party of freedom. General James M. Ash
tempsrasify, and Samuel Craighead, of
Dayton, was made permanent Chairman
of the convention. Senator Ben Wade

tions, and presented the report of that
committee to the convention. w. V.

A Bitter Contest for Senatorial Honors.
On the evening of March IA, 1861, the
Republican members of the Ohio Legis-
lature met in caucus for the purpose of
selecting candidate for United States
Senator to fill the place of Mr.. Chase, who
had accepted the position of Secretary of
the Treasury in the Cabinet of the incom-
ing President, Mr.. Lincoln. The contest
for the nomination was long and bitter
one, the principal candidates being Dem
nison, Schenck, Sherman, Horton and
Delano, but occasionally votes were cast
for black horses that were from time to
time sprung upon the caucus. Dennison
held his strength more steadily than any
of the other candidates, but there was a
growing jealousy against him among the
older politicians, as there always is
against new and rising man, as was
Governor Dennison at that time.
ONE DAY CONSUMED.
After balloting twenty-six times, the
caucus adjourned over to the evening of
March 20th. The last ballot stood:

The Republican State Convention for
1857 met in Columbus on the 18th day OF
August, with David Heaton, Of Butler
County, as temporary Chairman. After
the appointment of the usual commit
tees Bluff Ben Wade, then one of Ohio's
United States Senators, was called oat,
and he delivered one of his plain, blunt,
off-aand speeches, which was highly
relished by the convention. Giddings was
also called for, and responded in an able
and thrilling speech.
Caleb B. Smith was made permanent
Chairman, and accepted the position in
an eloquent speech, which was received
with great applause. Amid loud cheers
and waving Of handkerchiefs Salmon P.
Chase was renominated for Governor by
acclamation. There were a number of
candidates for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and

could be called together for consultation

then. but unfortunately the smarty
Alecks who have been bossing things for
the past few years have thought it best to
distribute the committee all over the
State, and as consequence the manage
ment is weak.
OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
At the October election the straight-out
Bell and Everett Americans united with
the Democrats to defeat Judge Brinker-
hof, because of something he had done
or said. He was defeated, however, by a
majority of 1904, the balance of the
ticket receiving over $4,000 majority.
Hamilton alone gave nearly 1000 ma
jority against Brinkerhoff, while the vote
on the county ticket was so close that a
portion of the candidates of both parties
were elected.
At the Presidential election in Novem-
Der the following vote was polled: Lin
coin, 231,610; Douglas, ,230; Bell,
II, 1877; Breckenridge, IL ,4O5; Smith, 119.
Aggregate vote in the State, .442, SOL. Lin

Delegates Sent to the Chicago Convention.
On the Ist day of March, 1860, the Re
publicans of Ohio held State Conven
ton for the purpose of appointing dele
gates at large to the Chicago National
Convention. The following the
names of those selected by that conven-
ton: D. K. Carter, Thomas Spooner, H.
Broad beck and v. B. Horton. The con-
vention also resolved in favor of Gov
ernor Chase as the choice of the Repub-
licans of Ohio for the Presidency. Dole
gates from the Congressional Districts
were appointed by conventions held in
their respective districts.
OLD ABE NOMINATED.
When the delegates met in Chicago on
the 10th of May it was found that the dol
egates could not unite on Mr.. Chase, a
number of them being unwilling to give
him their support. Columbus Deiano, of
Ohio. seconded the nomination of Mr..
Lincoln, who. he said, was a man who
could not only split rails, but maui DEM
ocrats, and on the first ballot the rail-
splitter received eight votes from the
Ohio delegation, Mr.. Chase receiving the
balance On the third ballot, and the ONE
on which Lincoln was nominated, the
Ohio delegation gave him twenty-nine
votes. On this ballot "Old Abe" received

Schenck, %; Dennison, 2S; Sherman. p;
Horton, /; and Harlan, 3. The first ballot
on the reassembling of the caucus re-
suited: Sherman, %; Schenck, 20; Denni-
son, %. And on the twenty-sixth ballot
Schenck, 10; and Dennison, %, which
nominated Sherman, AZ votes being nee
essary to a choice. The cry of any thing
to beat Governor Dennison was raised by
his opponents, and they united on Sher-
man to accomplish that object. Rush
Sloan, of Sandusky City-who, believe,
is now acting with the Democrats-was
one of Sherman's men, and he took him
right along with him to Washington.
where he used his influence as the newly
elected Senator from Ohio in procuring
for Sloan one of the most desirable places
in the Postal or Mail Service.
Soon after these events, however, and
indeed Immediately upon their heels, war
with all it's honors came upon the coun-
try, and party ties as well as party chains
gave way to some extent under the infiu-
ence of the patriotic emotions with which
the hearts of our Buckeye people
throbbed. The Democrats of the State
nominated straight Democratic ticket,
with H. J. Jewett at the head for Gov
ernor. But there were many prominent
men in that party who joined in call for
a grand Union State Convention, with but
one single object-that of aiding the
United States Government in crushing
the rebellion.
UNION CONVENTION.
This great Union Convention was
called on the 9Th day of September. The
call declared that the great and all-aD-
sorbing question is, "Shall the Govern
ment be preserved9" and that it is the
only one worthy the consideration of the
American people; that, compared with

Once More . Winning Ticket 10 Put Upon
the Field.
The Republicans again met in State
Convention on the second day of June,
1859, and again they put a winning ticket
in the field. The convention was COM
posed of strong, vigorous, positive men,
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1886-09-02

The convention determined thatit would
make no nominations until the Commit
tee on Resolutions had reported, SO that
candidates might know just what kind
of platform they would be required to
stand upon. The committee, however,
was not long in reporting. and as the
new party is about to take its stand on
the platform constructed by this COM
mittee have deemed it best to give you
the report IN erte7lso. Here it is:
Resolved, That the people, who con-
stitute the supreme power of the United
States, should guard with jealous care
the rights of the several States as in
dependent governments. No enoroach-
ments upon their legislative or judicial
prerogatives should be permitted from
any quarter.
2. Resolved, That the people of the
gSrate of Ohio, mindful of the blessings
conferred upon them by the Ordinance of
Freedom, hose anniversary our conven-
ton this day commemorates, have estab-
hshed for their political guidance the fol-
lowing cardinal rules:
i. We will resent the spread of slavery
under whatever shape or color it may
be attempted.
2. To this end we shall labor assidu-
ous1y to render imperative and void that
portion of the Kansas and Nebraska bill
which abolishes freedom in that Terri
tory, Withdrawn from the influence of
slavery by the Missouri Compromise of
1920; and we will oppose. by every law
full and constitutional means, the exist
ence of slavery in any National Terri
tory and the further increase of slave
territory, or slave States, in this repub-
Iican Confederacy.
8. Resolved, That the recent acts of vio-
lence and civil war in Kansas, melted by
the late vice-President of the United
States, and tacitly encouraged by the
Executive, command the emphatic con-
demnation of every citizen.
4. Resolved, That proper retrench-
ment in. all public expenditures, q thor
oughly economical administration of our
State Government, a just and equal basis
of taxation and single Districts for the
election of members of the Legislature, are
reforms called for by wise State policy,
and justly demanded by the people.
s.. Resolved, That a State Central Com
mittee, consisting of five, be appointed by
this Convention, and that said COMMITTEES,
in addition to its usual duties, be author
lied to correspond with committees of
other States, for the purpose of agreeing

II WAS AN OFF YEAR.

Democrats, 66; Republicans, A, and one
independent.
IT WAS AN OFF YEAR.
Mr.. Chase made most vigorous and
brilliant campaign, but this seemed to be
kind of off year for the two-year-old
party, and it came out of the fight look
ing little groggy, but full of vim and
ready for another round with its old Lo-
cofoco pro-slavery opponent.

crvIL wAR NEoEss1TTEs.

The Republican party held it's name in
allegiance. as it were, for the time being,
and adopted that of the Union party, so
that all patriotic Union men could muster
under its banner, and all unite in the one
common object of preserving the eGovern-
ment from the fratricidal hands of those
who were seeking to destroy it. Bur
there was SO little of politics in 1861
that the newspaper men scarcely found
time to publish the election returns in.
any sort of respectable shape.
There was great disposition in this
Union party to push Union Democrats to
the front on all occasions, and this viii
account to a greatextent for the summary
manner in which Governor Dennison
was overslaughed by the nomination of
David Tod, a lifelong Democrat, for
Governor, and this treatment of Mr..
Dennison had great deal to do, no
doubt, with the defeat of the Unionists at
the fall election of 1862.

the interests involved in this great ques-
ton, all other interests are of but little
Importance; that the triumphs of any
party, if celebrated over dismembered
Government, would not only be value
less, but disgraceful.
Toe convention was presided over tenn
porarily by T. G. Mitchell, of Hamilton
County, who, in his speech accepting the
honor, said, among other good things,
that we have here to make our platform
of one single plank-to enunciate one
single truth-that we have Government
and that it shall be maintained. It is no
time to handy honeyed words with trait
ors. The power to suppress treason is the
power of self-preservation. 1t belongs to
the people, and they must use it."
Hon. Thomas Ewing was made perma-
nent Chairman, and on assuming the du-
ties of the position delivered powerful
speech. After the reading of the plat
form by Hooking H. Hunter, Chairman
of the Committee on Resolutions, David
Tod, of Mahoning County, was nomi-
mated for Governor by acclamation,
amid the widest excitement. A NUM-
Der of prominent gentlemen were named
for Lieutenant-Governor, and on the Sec
ond ballot Hon. Ben Stanton was NOM
mated. G.Volney Dorsey was nominated
for Treasurer of State; Josiah Scott, for
Supreme Judge; J. H. Riley, for, Comp
troller: B. R. Cowen, for Secretary of
State, and J. Terrence, for Board of Pub
| lie Works.
| Political speeches in support of the
Union ticket in that campaign were sim
ply war speeches, and the result was that
Tod was elected by a majority of $1,000.
backed by an Overwhelming majority of
Unionists in the Legislature.

throN4 by the anti-slavery wing to the
American wing of the convention, who
were pushing Jacob Brinkerhoff, also of
Richland County, for the nomination for
Governor, as against Chase, the favorite
of the Free Sellers. The sequel proved
that they played their hand well, for
Brinkerhoff was withdrawn as candi-
date for Governor and nominated for Su-
preme Judge by acclamation, and to
clinch the arrangements Tom Ford, from
the same county with Sherman and
Brinkerhoff, was nominated for Lieuten-
ant-Governor. Lew Campbell led the
American forces, and the Free Sellers
were compelled under his admirable
management and geAeralship to yield al
most every thing else in order to secure
the nomination of
MR.. CHASE EoR GOVERNOR.
The Americans and old line Wings
were largely in the majority in the con-
vention. and could have nominated their
ewn man for Governor; but as the ques-
ton of the extension of slavery was the
issue upon which the new party was to
stand, it was deemed advisable to place a
representative of that wing of the party
or of that element in the convention at
the head of the ticket.
The Presidents of this fusion con-
vention were as follows: J. II. Patton, A.
Moore, s. Pardee, J. Williamson, o. White,
G. w. King, J. II. Dunlevy, w. Lawrence.
