"Prices of grain and breadstuff's
lhave an upward tendency in tbe mar
lets in England, and there are indi
cations of a movement in France or

possibility of a war, in wbicb all tbe

ern Russia is a vast grain depot, and
iarge quantities are sent thence each
year to London and Liverpool to sup
ply the demands of England. This
is tbe grain that enters into competi

(iroves the occasion of tbe exculpa
tory rfort of the Kerr investigate

tion of the Republican members of
the committee and of the House
thereupon, to read the Democracy
a greatly needed lesson in fairness
and decency. That paper says:
The Democrats may very well learn
of tbeir enemies in this refpect. A
little greater readiness upon their
part to give character its due weight;
a little more manly disposition to
deal fairly with tbeir political oppo
nents; a somewhat less manifest dis
position to rejoice in tbe destruction
of an opponent's good name; above
all an exhibition ot capacity to be
genciocsly glad when an accused
person of Uepublican politics suc
ceeds in vindicating himself; in a
word, a little more of manliness on
the Pem cratic -side of the House
would give to that part) 's work in
tbe way of investigation iiiguny

vin for it a popular respect wbicb it

estraotion of other men's r putatioos
that men or parties can buil J up tbeir

is net t very good foundati q upon
wbicb to rest party."
TBE TICKET.
Tbe battle is over, tbe Conveuion
tas adjourned, and the delegates re
turned to their homes. Tbe work of
tbe Cincinnati Convention was one
of vital importance, as in a great
measure on tbe wisdom of tbeir
choice rested tbe destinies of the Re
publican party. Dot out of confus
ion they have brought forth order.
Tbe Republican party have chosen
Rutherford JJ. Hayes, of Ohio, as
their standard bearer, and under such
leadership defeat will be impossible.
Mr. nayet Is certainly as avail-'
able a candidate as could Lave been
obtained. His conduct, both in pub
Ik: and private life, tbe brilliant re
cord be bas made as a gallant sol
dier, bis great qualities of diligence
and irmness, combined w itb tbe ar-
uent anecuon borne bun by tbe peo-
fle tt 4i native State, and tbe great
tst, make bis name a tower of
.,.a. Nfciie toe neoBTSof tbe
came upon a
wide. Men fell all around him, and
bis Adjutant General was shot at bis
I side. In October, 1 804, be was ap
I pointed Brigadier General for "mer
itorious services in tbe battles of
Winchester, Fisher's Hill and Cedar
Creek." .
He was breveted Major General at
tbe close of tbe war for gallant and
distinguished serv ces in tbe above
battles. He bad three horses shot
under him and was wonnded four
times, once severely.
Before the close of the war be was
elected to Congress from the Second
Cincinnati district by a haudsome
majority, and in ISfifi was re-elected.
At the Republican State Conven
tion, in ISC", he was nominated to
succeed Governor Cox, as Governor
of Ohio, w as elected a majority of
some 3,000, and was again elected,
makinr a noble record for himself as
an efficient, conscientious and fear
less Executive. Last fall, the Repub
licans of Ohio appreciating the ne
cessity of putting their very strong
est man in the field in order to defeat
Governor Allen, again selected
Hayes as tbeir standard bearer for
Governor, and tbe result justified
the wisdom of tbeir ehoice. He is
emphatically a "man of the people,"
a strong man morally, intellectually
and physically. Wherever duty bas
called him he has never failed in
open, earnest and pronounced sup
port of the cause of human freedom.
He has no extra weights to carry.
He will not be handicapped in the
race. Ilia advocates in tbe press and
on the stump will not be call upon to
either apolyize for short comings on
bis part or to explain knotty points in
his record. His nomination will call
back to the party all Liberal Repub
licans, will attract a large portion of
tbe independent vote, and w ill draw
to him many honest Democrats be
sides. Tbe nomination of Hon. William
A. Wbeeler, of New York, for Vice
President, furnishes the best possible
assurance that that State will be car
ried bv tbe Republicans. With an
irreproachable reputation, a consist
ent, honorable and dignified public
record, he will draw out tbe vote of
every Republican in '.be State. He
is tbe author of tbe famous "Louisi
ana compromise," tbe adoption of
wbicL a year or two ago averted
from that State the horrors of inter
necine stnte. lie is a member 4
Congress from the Buffalo district,
and is tbe member who purchased
United States bonds with bis back
pay, and then cancelled the bonds.
With Hayes and Wheeler as our
candidates this Centennial year, we
shall rtsrt upon our second centnry
with renewed faith in that republican
form .of Government which tbe wis
dom, courage and virtue of out fath
ers secured to us one hundred years
ago.

the lot of Ohio. Behind were placed,
in order of merit, Illinois, Michigan

erected in the spring of IS70, for the
Sa'ngcrfest, held in this.citv dunog
the following summer. Tbe fall of
tbe year witnessed the inauguration
of the Cincinnati Exposition, which
bas been since held yearly in tbe
building. In 1872 the ball was for
mally dedicated to political purposes
by the Greeley Convention, and bas
since been used for various political
demonstrations, tbe last of which
was tbe Democratic State Conven
tion of Ohio four weeks ago.
The arrangements have apparently
been made with a view to the capaci
ties of tbe human voice. Tbe plat
form is located near tbe centre of tbe

A space fifteen feet in widib, ex
tending along the face of tbe plat

of the press. Jn the rear of this the
delegations are placed in an inclusure

To the east of tbe ineIoiure the
remainder of tbe ball is given up to
alternate delegates and the general

influence or assurance to procure a
ticket of admission.
Tbe pressure for tickets of admis

that this report has been made, feel
inir that the conveutiou bad a per
lect rigut to accept it or not as iuejr

made for the contesting delegates by

to lay Mr. McCIure's motion on the

Tbe delegate from Arkansas in

that the convention bad adopted no

The report w as adopted. There

upon tbe pi a; form, being received
with some applause.

sires to call the attention of the del

The roles of the successive States
were, however, still greeted with
niaatlektalioQ of - deligbt, and tbe
Chair again reminded those iu the
galleries that they were interfering
with the transaction of the business
of tbe Convention.
A delegate from Wisconsin I
would suggest that tbe chair notify
the occupants of tbe gallery tbat

der is preserved.
Severxl delegates Good, good.
Tbe Cbair It is very likely that
tbe Chair will reach that poiut in a
very short time, unless there is a
modification of the conduct in tbe

bodiment of the great truths spoken
at it cradle, tbat all men are created

their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among w hich are life, liberty
aud tbe pursuit of bappiuess; that
for the attainment of these ends gov

Fourteenth, Tbe pledge wbicb tbe
nation bas given to our soldiers and
sailors must be fulfilled Tbe grate
ful people will always bold those wbo
periled tbeir live for their country'
preservation in the kindest remem
brance. ' Ffiteectb. We sincerejy tjepre
cate all septiuna) feeling ant) tpndpq:
cies. We therefore note with deep
Solicitude that tbe Democratic party
couuta oq jt chief hope of success
upon the electoral vote of a united
South, secured through tbe effort of
those who were recently arrayed
against the Dation; and we iuvoke
the earnest attention of tbe country
to tbe grave truth that a success thus
achieved would be cpen sectional
strife, and imperil tbe national honor
and human rights. We charge tbe
Democratic party a Ixring tbe same
iu character and spirit as wben it
sympathized with treason; aud mak
ing it control of the House of Rep
resentatives tbe t.'iumpb and oppor
tunity of tbe nation' recent foes;
with reasserting and applauding in
the vational Capitol ibe eniimenH
of uuiepeuted rebeliiodj' witn 'scn;
ing Union soldiers to tbe rear and
promoting Confederate soldier to
ibe front; with deliberately proposing
to repudiate tbe plighted faitb of the
Government; wiib being equa'Iy false
and imbecile upon tbe overshadow
ing financial question; with thwart
ing the end of- justice by it partisan
mismanagement and obstrdctlo'nl
investigation; with proving itself
through tbe period of it ascendancy
in ibe Lower House of Congress Ot
terly incompetent to ' administer the
Governmerit. We warn tbe codntrjr
against trusting a party' thus alike
unworthy, rffrPaal 3Pd. i0,'h.rp
