The next thing in order will be the
democratic national convention at
Chicago. Our democratic brethren are
looking for this event, believing in
their souls that Samuel J. Tilden will
be the nominee of that convention and
the savior of their part'. The indica
tions are that S. J. T. will be the nom
inee, but we are afraid that the old
man's barrel will not be sufficient to
get him there this time.

A Powerful Pair.
The Republican party has again
placed its nominees for president and
vice-president before the people. A
wiser selection could not have been
made by any party. The action of the
Chicago convention will certainly
have the cfi!ct of harmonizing the fac
tions in the party, and bring it again
to victory in November.
JAMES G. r.LAIXE,
the nominee for president, has been a
life long and ardent republican, and
for many years past has been promi
nently before the people in various ca
pacities in public life, and has made
for himself a great and glorious record.
He was born at Indian Hill farm,
"Washington county, Pcnn., in 1S30.
"His great grandfather, Colonel Ephri
am Blaine, was a friend of Washing-
ton and had charge of the commissar
iat of the revolutionary forces during
the terrible winter which thev passed
at Valley Forge. At the age of twelve,
Blaine was sent to school in Lancaster,
Ohio, where he lived in the familv of
his relative, Hon. Thomas Ewing, then
secretary of the treasury. One year
later he entered Washington college,
where he graduated at the head of a
large class in 1S47. In 1S50 he went
to Kentucky sis a teacher in the mili
tary academy at Blue Lick Springs.
In ISG'i Mr. Blaine wr.3 elected to
congress. During his first term he
gave himself up to study and observa
tion, but in the next congress, the
thirty-ninth, lie gained some promi
nence, and from that time to the end
of his career he occupied a foremost
place among the republican leaders.
xiunng ttic penou oi soutnern recon
struction Blaine made many speeches
that attracted much attention and
spread his fame as an orator. In the
forty-first, forty-second, and forty-third
congresses he was elected speaker of
the house. In this capacity he showed
a ready knowledge of parliamentary
usage and a fairness and impartiality
in his rulings that won him general
praise from both parties.
In June 1S7G, Blaine was elected to
fill the seat in the senate -vacated by
Lot M. Morrill, who had been made
secretary of the treasury, and in Jan
uary, 1877, he was elected lor the full
term, ending March 4th. 1S84.
In all his labors, Mr. Blaine has
striyen to be with and by the people.
Ambitious, it is true, he was; but am
bitious to do his country great service
and enhance the interests of the mass
es. ;His splendid oratory and his
matchless magnetism made for him
thousands of friends who were ready
to go anywhere with him that honor
able and brave men might go."
JOHN A. LOGAN
the soldier and statesman, was wisely
selected for the second place on the
ticket by the convention. His name
will insure the party thousands of
votes. Being always true to his friends,
a brave and loyalmaj?," the soldiers'
fricnd,.i&-niahy other noble attri
butes, has endeared him to the people.
"When the union flag was assailed by
enemies in arms, when the integrity of
the union was imperilled by an organ
ized treason, when the storm of war
threatened the very life of this nation,
this gallant son of the Prairie state re
signed his seat in the congress of the
United States, returned to his home,
and was among the first of our citi
zens to raise a regiment and march to
the front in defense ot his country.
Like Douglas, he believed that in time
of war, men must be patriots or trait
ors, and he threw his mighty influence
on the side of the union and Illinois,
made a record second to none in ihe
history ot the states in the struggle to
preserve this government. Among
the large number of brave men, of
brave soldiers of the late war, whose
names arc proudly written on the
scroll, of fame, none appear more
grandly than the nane of Logan."
Such, is the fame of John A. Logan,
one of America's greatest statesmen.
With these two gallant standard bear
ers, the republican party will go to
victory in November. Let every re-

The Chief came to us this time on
Sunday morning, delayed, we suppose
to give us the news from the Chicago
convention. The delay and suspense
was fully compensated for when we
read the resu't. I hoard one h.-'ppy
republican saying "roflerblaine." or
words to that effect, but I did not know
what ,it meant. I suppose he had
heard of the nomination and was try
ing to make known his approval of the
ticket. I am very well suited with the
ticket and think it a good one.
