The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1886-09-02


propose the withdrawal of Mr.. Chase be-
cause the Know-Nothings would oppose
him. He ought not to think so. He
saw plenty Of men around him who he
knew to be Known othings, and he
thought they would support the nomi-
nees of this convention. He begged leave
to offer the following substitutes:
Resolved, That we, the members of this
convention, pledge ourselves that, ire
spective OF all other parties and political
associations, we will contribute our moral
and political influence to sustain the prin-
ciples and nominees OF this convention.
Mr.. Stanton said that the resolution of
Mr.. Giddings placed the convention in
very awkward position. Very nearly half
of the convention would wish to have an
opportunity of voting on Mr.. Smiths
resolution, and all might probably desire
to vote for Mr.. Giddings' resolution.
Mr.. Spalding demanded the votes by
counties. MIR. Bingham, although he re-
spected both the venerable gentlemen
who had introduced the resolution and
its substitute, yet for one he was unwill-
ing that the imputation should go forth
Smiths resolution were unfit to be bal
loted for. It were in vain to resolve that
principles should go forth to the world,
and then refuse to uphold the arm OF
their standard bearer. I am pledged to
support the nominees of this convention
unless it turns out a band of traitors
[Cries of ssQuestion," and motion to lay
resolution and substitute both on the
table. Garfield
| NOMINATIONS.
The convention then proceeded to a
nomination for Governor. The follow
| ing-named gentlemen were put in nomi-
nation: s. P. Chase, of Hamilton County
| Jacob sBrinkerhoff, of Richland; J. r
Swan, of Franklin, and H. Griswold, oi
Cuyahoga. Mr.. Campbell withdrew the
| name of Mr.. Brinkerhof, and the first
ballot resulted as follows: Chase, 225;
Swan, 102; Griswold, AZ.
LIEUTENANT-GovERNo
The first ballot for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
| was as follows: Thos. n. Ford, 145; F. L,
Backns, 81; c. N. Olds, "a; w. Lawrence,
81; H. Griswold, At: 8. Stokely, s. On the
second ballot Mr.. Ford was nominated
having received 22S votes, and immedi-
ately after Jacob Brinkerhoff, of the same
county as Ford, was declared the NOM
inee for Supreme Judge for the long term
by acclamation. Ford's success inter
| fered with the slate of the managers to
some extent, but they were not so easily
frightened in those days as are politicians
of the present generation, and they stuck
| to the arrangement like little men, even
though their doing SO did necessitate the
nomination of two candidates from the
same county.
The ticket was completed by the nomi-
nation of c. G. Converse tor Supreme
Judge for the short term, F. M. Wright
for Auditor of State, J. H. Baker for Sec.
retary of State, w. II. Gibson for Treas
urer of State, j. d. Kimball for Attorney
General, and A. G. Conover for Board ot
Public Works.
| Mr.. Chase made a pretty thorough can
vass of the State, making good impress
sion wherever he spoke; but there were
good many know-Nothings who ooulc
not be induced to vote for him, and hi:
majority over Governor Medill was only
$50, while Ford's majority for Lieuten
ant-Governor was 1850, and the balancs
of the ticket about the same. But in view
of the fact that Mr.. Trimble, the straight
American candidate for Governor, re-
ceived over $4,000 votes, Mr.. Chase's ma
jority was very gratifying to his friends
