NATIONAL BEPIJI3LICAN TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT, '
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
OF °III°.
FOR tWE PRESIDENT,
WILLIA I k A. WHEELER,
OF NEW YORK.
THE CINCINNATI CONTENTION.
We devote a large portion of our
space this week to the proceedings
Of the Cincinnati Convention„Which
last , week placed in nomination can
didates for President and Vice-Pres
ident, to lie supported by the Repub
lican voters of the Union at the cOm
•
ing Presidential election. 'While we
should have preferred the seleetion
of JAs. G. BLAINE for the first Place
on the ticket, if our own gallant sol
dier Governor could not secure the
position, the selection of Gov. HATES
was an excellent one. His , nomtna- ,
tiori, in some respects, is a stiOnger
one than Mr: BLAINE'S would hove
been. Such men as &EWE; FENIN,
and other prominent Liberal Repub
licans,will give lIArEs a hearty: sup
port ; he will-at the same time Com
mand the hearty and enthusiastic 'en
dorsement of active Republicans .'ev,
eryWhere. He is a. man of -acknoWl
edged ability and statesmanship,
whose private character and public
life are above even suspicion.
~The
tongue of slander has never connect
ed him with disreputable transac
tions of any kind. Three timealhe
has led the party to victory in Ohio,
and in November next he will sweep
the Union.
The candidate. for Vice-Vresidnt
is one Of the most prominent' and
•
popular men in New York. , Ile has
served his State in Congresi, and is
a successful business man. His nom
ination will give the Empire State to
the Republican ticket id Novembpr.
TILE CHOICE of Pennsylvania for
the Presidential nomination was un
deniably our worthy Governor, JOHN
F . lIARTRIriFT. The Republican
Convention of this State presented
his name with remarkable unanimity
:1
and with earnestness and enthusiasm.
As a candidate he would have hen
1
acceptable to the Nation, and as.
President he would have honored the
place, as hp has been distinguishedlin
the responsible office . he now holds.
The occurrences of the National 116-
pOlie . an Convention show conciti
' I.
si•i-eIY- that had the Penn Sylvania
- 1 -
delegation been true to him, had they
acted in obedience to the instruc
tions of the body which 'created them,
had they been consistent with their
own professions, the Keystone St4fe
would have had the proud honOr of
presenting the candidate of .the Re-.
publican party, and. JOHN F. ITAttr-
RANFT would have taken the oath of
1 ,
office on the 4th of March next, as
President of the United States. •
Unfortunately, the action ; of a con
siderable portion of the delegatiOn
was not in accOrdance• with the in
structions of the State . Convention,
but distinguished by an utter disre
gard of the wishes of the people Of
the State, and a recreancy to' the
cause of our candidate, which calls
for the severest condemnation. We
do Lot hesitate to say, that the dele
gates who so -basely deserted lI4aH
RANFT, • deserv . e, as they will receisr,
the execration of every honest Re
publican. They were bound, by eve
ry consideration, to stand by their
candidate so long as there was a rea-
sonable'prospect of his success. .But
following the advice of FonsEr and
McCLunE, in the hope of being upon
,the winning side, these recreant Penn
sylvanians threw away the chance of
a Pennsylvaniacandidate,and bronOt
disgrace upon the State, whip cos- 7 -
ing themselves with mortifmtion and
shame:
The newspaper tirades about the
transferring by M
, Dos CAERoN of the
delegation to CONKLI so, or any other
candidate, were invented for the pur
pose of excusing the treason Of mem
bers of the delegatioh, io were not
true to the it structions of the Statle .
Convention. The result has shown l
that Mr. CAMERON was'sincerely and
heartily the friend of IlmixitANFT.
Had his counsels prevailed the result
would have been different.. And he
comes out of the battle, having added
to, his renown as a leader, and hiS
faithfulness as a friend.
McPuttisos was undoubtedly chr4-
en as President of theConventioni as
a reward for theiwork he was expce
ed to perform. Having written an i
suppoi,tcd a resolution in' the State
t;onvention that the vote of the Mate
- shouldl be east assa unit, but few men
.Would have eared for the bad notori
ety! to Le gained from the de / cision . l4!
gave that each delegate might cast
hiS vote as suited him. It was prob
.l
ably expected that this decision
would bring votes:to BLAINE, by at
lowing the expectant Cabinet OtlicerS
in the delegation to disregard their,
instructions. That it finally defeated
BLAINE, is apparent. • But that is no
palliation of 'the want of
.courtesy
and
and consistency which 'he displayed
in the chair. -
The Pennsylvania delegates irhO
were in such unseemly haste to Saki
riGee the candidate of the State, to
set at:naught the instructions of the
State Convent l ion, in order that they
might be upon the winning side, will
now have an opportunity Co meditate
upon the uncertainty of political of
fairs, as they realize that the race is
not always to the swift nor the- bat',
tic to the strong. We should•in just
Lice add that the delegate from') thi.
eounty, Wm. T. DIVIE, WaS eonsis
'tent with the wishes of our people
and did, not (lesert, KT); N FT„ 3nl
: V"ted Steadils ' for him until his nano',

The National itepnbliean' Conven
tion, aft e r, a session of three days,
..ad
journed on Friday, having done' its
work wisely and well.. The choice of,
the -. Convention, for a Presidential
candidate fell upon RUTHERFORD' B.
HAYES now' . Governor. of Ohio, and
WILLIAM - A. WnEr.r.r.a, of NCw York,
was unanimously chosen as 'the can
didate for Vice President. The
tion hails this ticket with unexam
pled enthusiasm.. The dangers which
threatened the Republicanparty have
been happily averted by the prudent,
action of the Convention—all disen
sisins are healed, and with an united
organization IrC shall march to a Cer
tain and overwhelming triumph' in
November.. ' •
The struggle for the noraihatioa
has been unusually severe, and ithe
convention has done well in select.
iag .as a• candidate a'man who' !has
not aroused any prejudices nor ani
mosities, and who will bring to; his
support with the utmost cordiality,
all the elements so lately in antagon
ism in the Convention. The RePub
lican party • may congratulate itself
that it enters into the campaign pre
pared to act strictly on the olfenSive,
that Wmay charge upon the Democ
racy not only the sins of the last few
years, but also the utter incompeten
cy that party has shown' to govern
the country, as djsplayed by the pres
ent'.i
Congress4-While our candidate
stands, invulnerable, and with airec
ord which 'calls for no word of apol
ogy or explanation.
We appemVa short sketch of ! the
candidates selected at Ciucinnatti.
RUTHERFORD B. liArFs
has had an active and important career.
He was born in Delaware county, Ohio,
October 4, 1822. After receiving al col
legiate education at Kenyon College,
]ambier, 0., he studed at laW in Colum
bus. With the preparation thus received
he entered the law school of Ilari:ard
college, whence he graduated withcredit.
He began the practice of his! profession
in Cincinnati, and met with so much ,sue,
cess that he was appointed solicitor of
that city.' His geniallnannets and abili
ties made him exceedingly popular in his
professsion ' and his practice was' rapidly
growing when the war of -the rebellion
broke ont.. lie was then just thirty-bine
years old, in the prime of his life, and en
gaged in many important cases, btit, the
call for troops was the signal for lath to
throw aside the advocate's gown and 'dim
the equipments of a Soldier. ' lie proll4
ed his services at once,' and ! On the 27411
of June, 1861, :was appointed major of
the 21st Ohio Infantry Regimon. !Ills
first services were with Itosencrans in
West Virginia, and for a time was judge
advocate on that General's shift: In No-
vember 1862, he was !promoted to •the
lieutenant colonelcy, and took command
! of the 23t1 Ohio, and continued to com
mand it during the' spring campaign in
West Virginia, and the autumn Callipalgn
under General McClellan,' until he was
wounded at the battle of Smith Moun
tail,. He was appointed colonel of the
79th Ohio in the same year, but was pre
vented by his wound from asSeming emir
mand,, and afterwards was transferreil
back to his former 'regiment, the 2341.
DeceMbee 25, 1862. he was plated in cinn
mand of the First Brigade. Icanawha Di
vision, and held it' until Sheridan's vit!to
ry at Winchester in September, 184,
when he took! command of the divbiion,
leading it.through the battles of the 3 , •ear.
In October, 1814, Colonel 11;ves was!ap
pointed brigadier general for ! gallant Ond
meritorious services at the battles! of
Winchester, Fisher's Hill 'and COar

mantled an expedition against West Vir
ginia, and was engaged in it when the
war terminated. A fterwaeds he was pro
moted to be major general for gallant and
distinguished services. Ile was engaged
in pinch severe service and participated
in many battles, but always bore hirnself
bravely. Before the close of thewar holbad
bran elected a member of Congress,Hld
in 1866 was re-elected by a handsome ma
jority. Although he was a good lawyer
and had often pleaded before the courts
General Hayes sat in CongreSs three ses
sions without making a single elaborate
speech. •He was noticed, however, for
his fidelity tollimblican convict ions . and
soundness of judgment. In 1867 ha was
unanimously nominated by his party for
Governor of Ohio, and after a spiiited
contest, in which he took an active part,
and which was ccipplicated by the negro
suffrage question,' he was elected lover
Allem°. Thurman by a majority of 2,9.33
in a total poll or 483,000, tans narrWy
escaping defeat. Ile was : re-nontina
ted at the, close of his term in 1869,
and again elected - by a majority of ",',sl;:t
over George 11. Pendleton. in 1872 be
was beaten for Congress by Banning, Lib
eral Republican. The next appearance
of Mr.: Hayes as a candidate was last fall,
when he was nominated on the ptiblie
schools platform. In the bitter anti
hard fought canvass which !followed,
Mr. Hayes was successful, receiving a
majority, of 5,544 over Mr. Allen.
WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
nominated at Cincinnati for Vice-Presi
dent is - one of the best teen who mold
have4been chosen for the phiee, and One
who will give satisfaction to the party
throughout the nation. Mr. IVhee;er
was born at Malone, Franklin county,
New York, June 3, 1819. Ile had a cote
mon school education and spent a year in
study at the University of Vermont, and,
after passing seven years in a lawyer's
office in his native county, was in 4449
admitted to practice. After a few years'
practice he was elected district attorney
and when his term expired he was elected
to the New York Assembly• as a Whig.
He was re-elected, but at the close of his
second term retired to the practice of his
profession. A short time afterwards !he
became first the'casliier of his local bank,
a position he held for fourteen years; and
at a later date became President of the
Ogdetishrirg 47. Rouse's Poiut Railroad,
continuing in the supervision of the road
for eleven years., At the death of the
Whig party he. became a Republican, and
entered the State Senate in January IS!",M,
to take his seat in the first Legislattire
fully . controlled by the Republican party.
Robert Campbell, a Republican, was!at
the time Lieutenant Governor, and the
position of President lin) tem., to NNliieli
Mr. Wheeler was elected, was, in conk:-
itbeit: a lonely - honorary posiliOn.
Through the session of IKiB and is- - ,9 Mr.
Wheeler served in the Serrate,' and in the
fail of the last named year he was elected
to a scat in the Thirty-seventh Congress,
carrying all three of the strong, Republi
can counties—of which the Sixteenth dis
trict was then composed. • In all the le
hates and votes of that exciting war ses
sion be was uniformly on the sitle'of the
Union and liberty. After the ilo;,e tli . the
Thirty-seventh ('ongress Mr. Wheeler
did not enter public service • tintil Ii".1:1,

OUR NATIONAL NTANDAIII/.
The foll Owing historical.skeOlt ig
peculiarly interesting and appropit 7
ate in this (enten4ial year : -
" Although our Republic is .100
years old, the flag iii*s• not formally
adopted by Congress until about a
half a century 'ago, when a resolution
of thanks to Capt. S!C..Reid; of New
York, was offered for having de
signed and formed the present flag of
the tinion.
"Daring the war a number of de
vices were emPleyed to express the
spirit of the Colonists. In 1775 a.
Union flag was hoisted on the liberty
.pole in New York, with a.red field in
token of defiance. The different col
ors were added to distinguish thd
several regiMents. The
.first Ameri
can flag nosed in South _car°lina had
a 'blue ground with a white crescent
in - Alie dexter corner.' Paul Jones
raised the standard of the first Amer-,
lean fleet inane saint year , at Phila
delphia. It was a rattlesnake in a
yellow field with the. motto, 'Don't
Tread on me.' This 'device was
changed by the newspapers of_ the
day into a disjointed snake of thir i
teen parts, with the. motto, ',Join or
Die.' The colonies were thus ap
pealed to on behalf of union with the
alternative of death. • A year after,
the fleet sailed with the fly known
as the ' Great Union." This was the
first appearance of the red and white
stripes, which were ;adopted to set
forth - the union of the army and navy
in the struggle. The stars had not,
yet appeared in the corner, but
stead the crosses of St. George and,
St. Andrew on a blue ground, repre
senting the union of England and
Scotland. After the' declaration of
Independence this latter device wad
seen to be - inapproPdate, and the
stars were adopted ; COngress order
ing that 'the flag of the 13 United
States be la-alternate stripes of red;
and white; that the - union be 13 stars
—white in a blue field, representing
a new constellation.'
" The idea was suggested by the
coat of arms of the Washington fam-!.
ily, the shield of which presents a
white or silver field traversed by two
red bars with three spur rowels or
stars in the upper portion.
"The stars and stripes first figured
at the surrender of Burgoyne in
1777, and afterwards ivere carried by
-Paul Jones to Europe in his ship, the
Ranger,' the same year. In the year
1818 Congress enacted that the flag
should continue with 13 stripes to
; represent the original States of the
Union, and
,to have one star added
on the Fourth of July for cach.State
afterwards atlinitted to the. UniOn.
:At the rate we have been growiilg,
the next 100 years will make our
star field very thick with brilliants."
THE Tribune is not pleased with
the conduct of the party it aided, in
gaining the ascendancy' in the li . mer
(louse of Congres, The Tribunr
ought to repent in sackeloth and ash
es over the part took in bringing
about the prOent state of affairs, and
judging front such extracts as the fol
loWing, we think it 13 getting near
that point:
!' No party ever so suddenly threw
down the weapons with which it had
is!on a skirmish and broke into the
wild disorder of spoils distributing
and camp plundering. They could
pot wait the more abundiint plun
der beyond, for which they must re
tain their weapons and keep their
disguises.:. TheY had 'won an outpost
and were lost. For the petty spoils
of the small success they flung away
all that was beyond it. We :ill know
what they have given us : a *Wilis!)
for offices . ; a sweeping system of re
movals, regardless of fitness, capacity
or integrity; a succession of discred
itable appointments ; and as worth
less a rabble of pothouse politicians
put in place, as ever flocked to the
capitol upon a change of administra
tion. We have
seen what they do in the green leaf ;
we can peihaps imagine what it might
he in the tlry. So far they have only
had an opportunity to" purify poli
tics " to a limited extent, but they
have given us a stench that b;:fore
we had not dreamed of. With larger
opportunities they would no doubt
give us pestilence. The party seems
fairly saturated with dishonesty and
hypocrisy; the only encouragement
to he had from it is in the fact that
its hypocrisy is so thin and short
lived that it. must be comparatively
harmless.

THE PLATFORM
When, in the economy of I ) .rovitlenee,
this laud was to be purged Of titiinau slav
ery, anti *hen the strength' 4 , the, GOV
WM:Iit of the people, by the!,'people, for
the people, was ,to be demonsf rated, On:
Republican party came into ])Stier. Its
deeds have passed into histoo,..atal we
!look back to them with pride. Incited
by their memories and high afins for the
goad of our country and mankind, and,
looking to the future with 'itilfaltering
coinage, hope and purpose, we, the rep
resentatives of the party in dip National
Convention assembled, make the follow
ing declaration of prineiple:
First.- The United States orAtnerica is
a nat;on, InAr at league. Ily . the combined
workings of the National and titate. tlor
ernments under their respectitie constitu
thms, the rights of every citizen are se
cured at home and potected abroad, and
the common welfare promoted.;
Second: The Ilepubrean party have
preserved tho - se Governments t , the hun
dieth anniversay of the nation's birth,
and they are now embodiments of the
great truths spoken at its cradle, that all
men are created equal ; that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain in
alienable rights, among, which are life,
liberty mid the pursuit of happiness;
that for attainment of thcseieMls Govern
ments have been instituted, among men
deriving their just powers front the con
sent of he governed. Until these truths
are cheerfully obeyed, if mfeded to, vig
orously enfoteed, the work of . the Itepub
hear party is unfinished. . .
Third. The permanent ifaeification of
the Southern section of the Enion, the
complete protection of all he, citizens in
the tree enjoyment of all th, rights are
ditties to which the Reputdican istrty is
sacredly pledged. (Applattf4eo The Low
er to provide for the enfol'eentent of the
principles embodied in the. recent Consti
tutional Amendntents is vested. by those
'amendments of the Congresli of the Uni
ted States, and we declare it V): be the so
lona, obligation' of the .14 1 !giSlative and
Executive departnimts of the Govern
ment to put into inimetlatti mid vigorous
exercise all their constitutional powers
for reuniting any just catiesiof discon
tent on the part of any Aitsti, and secur
ing to every American citizen complete
liberty and exact equality in the exercise
of all civil, pGlitical and public rights.
(Applause.)

To this mid we. briperatiVelk, demand a

not falter until these results 'are placed
beyond dispute or recall. (.liipLuise.)

[Cheers.] ~ •
Ninth. We re-affirm our oppositiottto
further grants of the public lands to the
corporations and ruonopolier,, and de
mand that the national domain be eletra
ted to free homes for the people.
Tenth. It is the hnperative duty of the
Government to modify
.existing treaties
with European Governments ' • that the
same protection shall, be afforeed to adop
ted American citizens that is given to na
tive burn, and all necessary laws be pas
sed to protect emtnigrants, in the absetice
of power in the State for that purpose !
Eleventh. It is the immediate duty of
'Congress to fully investigate the elket of
this emigration • and importation jof
Mongolians, on the meital and material
interests of the country.
Twelfth.. The Republican party ret-Og
nizes with approval the substantial ad
vance recently made towards the estab
lishment of equal rights for Women,v
the many important amendments effected
by the many Republican Legislature*in
the laws which content the personal and
property relations of wives, mothers, and
widows,and by the appointment and elec
tion of women to the superintendence;; of
education, charities and other pdhlic
trusts; The honest demands of this class
of citizens for additional rights and pri
vileges and immunities should be treated
with respectful consideration. • [Applautte]
Thirteenth. The Coestitution confers
upon Congess sovereign power over the
Territories of the United States! for their
goverUment ; and'in the exercise of this
power it is the right and duty of Congress
to-prdhibit and extirpate in the Territo
ries that relic of barbarism, polyganiy ;
and we demand such legislation as shall
secure this end, • and the stipreinacyof
American institutions in all the-Territo
ries. .[ A pplause.] °
Fourteenth. The fledges which the
nation has given to our soldiers and 80-
•ors must-, be fulfilled ; a grateful pantile
will always hold those who periled thOr
lives forthe country's prcservatiouin the
kindest remembrance. • ,;
Fifteenth. We sincerely deprecate nll
sectional feeling _and tendenc'es. We
thoreforo note with deep solicitude that
the Democratic party counts tile eldef
hope of success upon the electoral - vote : of
an united South,. secured through thOtf
forts of those whit were recently arrayed
against the nation, and w invoke the
earnest attention of the. country to the
grave truth that a success thus nchieV:ed
would re-open sectional strife and implril
national honor and human rights.
Sizleenth.. We charge the Democratic
party as being the same in character titiol
spirit as when it, sympathized with trOa
son, and with making . its control of the
House of Representatives the triumph
and opportunity of the nation's recent
Axes; with reasserting and plauding in the
National Capitol the sentiments of unre
potted rebellion; with sending Union `ol
(hers to the rear, with deliberately pie
paiingto repudiate the plighted faitli?of
the liovernment, with being equally false
and imbecile upon the overshatiowinepf
the financial question, with thwartirg the
ends of justice by its partisan misman
agement and of obstructing the investi
gation, with proving itself, through the
period of its ascendency in the LoWer
House of Congress, utterly Incompetent
to administer the Government.! We warn
the country against trusting a 'party them
alike unworthy , recreant and incapable.
[Cheers.]
Seventeenth. The National!, Adinieds
tration nio.aits coommendation for its hon
orable work in the management of domes
tic and foreign affairs, and Preside:nt
tfrant deserves the continued and hearty
gratitude of the Attu:limn people for

second district, and alsoMr.•Stewart,
frOnAhe Twenty-third district, rose
to' a point of :order,. reporting• that
the vote cast by Chairman Cameron
was•not correct, and that foui-votes
Of the lifty-eights were cast for Mr.
Blaine. • ' , . • .
_Chairman McPherson ruled that it
was - the right of:any - member to vote
his sentinlent in this convention.
Mr. Cessna rose ton point of or
der, declaring that, under the rules,
thavote as reported by 3tr, Carn(tron
should be recorded. .
. ' mith Futhey, of 'ennsy vania,
of the Chester district,. said-he came
here with the codentials - from his
own District:Convent*, His con
stituents are almost a unit forßlaine,
and he recognized no right of any
State Convention to bind him against
the views and wishes of his people.
He 'was • entitled to vote for himself.
Mr.lWe, of Maine„suggested that
by unfnimous consent the -Pennsyl
vanili-delelation be allowed to retire
to : consult, l'kendingthe roll call,• to
determine and *port their votes and
wishes. He wuld,trust the. delega
tion with this question. .- ' • ,
Mr. Pomeroy, of New York, ob
ected. ' . . .
Mr. Yan Zandt,, of Rhode Island,
claimed Ithat delegates who had :d
-lowed themselves to be elected on a
platforn' requiring them to Vote as a
unit are bound by it. He warned the
convent on against becoming a mob.
Mr. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, ar
gued that it was the practice 'in his
State to have delegates to the Re
publical National Convention chosen
by the State Convention,,and not by
the districts ;• accordingly, the Penn
sylvani.l chairman had been right in
obeying the order of the delegation
suiitainihu the unit rule. This unit
rule wal3 - adopted-by the Convention
unanimously, I believe; is allowing
eVery man to vote . as•his 'people-de
sire hirn, and I ani.opposed to•all gag
law. . 1 ?, .

Mr. Thompson asked whether we
have thie individual right itcr violate
the instructions of our State Con
ventioo ,and follow our! personal
views inktead of the directiims of the
party init.-itch State. Ile urged that
the Pemsylvania delegates Were.
bound by every consideration of jus
tice, lior t ior and policy,, to , obey the
unit rulp. The resold-don' was writ

sir. [Linighter.a nice.]

ingilhe decisidn of the chair. Mr.
lugTersoll, of Illinois, took the plat
fOrm. Ile 'said : "The question is,
Lal t"
s each delegate'a right to vote as
Iris people wish him to vote, or can
14:, by party machirmiry ' • lie tied to•
vette against their. wishes,'-his own
Will and - conscience? We cannot
sfistain ciurselves before the people if
We seek to force in this Way. What
We wantto find is, who is.the choice
of this c nvention and of the Repub
li
lie,an pit4y." •
Mr. Ilotelikiss" (N - .-1 - .) Urged that
the quest ion there -is order,, law. or
discipline in the Republican party ;
whether! l when this . convention has
made its nomination, the. party is

Mr. Van Zandt, (IL I.) said . that to
spstain the chairman's ruling won Id
disintegrate . the Republic:ur party,
because, if these disSenting delegates
in Pennsylvania can disregard the
instructions of their state Conven
thf_ty can go away from here and
bolt from any nomination here made.

Mr. Woodford, of New York, sail
he had no sympathy with the Minori
