HAYES, of Ohio. For Vice President, WILLIAM A. WHEELER, of New York. The Republican Nominees. Rutherford B. Hiyes, the Republican candidate for the Presidency is a native of Delaware, Ohio, and was born iu 1822. By profession he is a lawyer. He served with distinction in the Uniou army; entering as a Major, and lor bravery on the battle field he was pro moted from one position to another un til he became a Major General. During his military career he had four horses shot under him, and he was wounded four times. He has represented the sec ond district of Ohio three terms in the U. S. House of Representatives, and has thrice been elected Governor of Ohio. His last election us Governor was in 1875, when he was chosen over Governor William Allen, one of the wes f ern democratic chieftains, after the hottest political contest ever known in this country. \William A. Wheeler the candidate for Vice President is a native of Franklin county New York, and was born in 1819’ and like his associate is a lawyer by profession. He has filled various post tions of honor and trust in his native State. At present and|tor ten years past he has represented his district in Con gress. Such is a brief sketch of the candi dates whom the National Convention have selected to bear the banner of Re publicanism through the campaign. It is true that Mr. Hayes did not enter the convention as a prominent candidate. The fierce contest was between Messrs. Blaine, Bristow, Conkling and Morton, and after six ballots had been taken,and the success of either of the tour great candidates still appearing extremely doubtful, the supporters of Messrs. Bris' tow Conkling and Morton, concentrated, and on the seventh ballot Gov. Hayes was nominated. And a glorious thing it has proved for the Republic in parly, because it has brought together the va rious discontented elemenis in the par ty, prominent among which are the lib eral Repirblicans, who becoming dissat isfied with General Graut's nomination in 1872, supported Mr. Greely, the good old abolitionist of the last generation, whom the democrats nominated in their blind zeal to getcon’rol of the presiden tial office, and mule a lament able fail ure in their understanding. Since the defeat of Mr. Greely these liberal republicans have stood aloof with folded armes, and like Mr. Micaw ber, waiting for som-thing to turn up. When the Cincinnati Convention named Hayes and Wheeler, which means victo ry and reform, the liberal republicans with Carl Schurz, the distinguished Ger man statesman at the head of the col umn,immediately re-entered the repub lican ranks, and will do yeoman service in the campaign. And again the four great candidates who competed for the nomination, have extended their congratulations and pledged their support to Governor Hayes. Thus our candidates enter the field with a united party pledged to their support. Each candidate is a host with in himself, and together they make a strong team. The nominations have been received throughout the United States with remarkable unanimity and unparalleled enthusiasim, mingled with the booming of cannons,displays of fire-works and patriotic speeches. The differences which have existed in the, party have been reconciled, and those little unpleasantries which are as natur al in a political party as they are any where else, have been buried in obliv ion, and all men who favor the great principles of the Republican party, and love freedom and free institutions, will rally around the republican stand ard bearers and roll up each a ma jcrity for Hayes and Wbeeler in No vember next, that will make thte dem ocratic party seriously consider the expe diency of winding up its career. On the 3d instant, about five miles from Bambr.dge, Decatur county, a colored man was shot by a gang of roughs because he would not remove from the neighborhood.—Thomasville Times. When shall this wholesale murdering cease? Must we protect ourselves? We call upon our good white fellow citizens to denounce it, or there will be trouble which we do not desire to see. We can not stand silent and see men,women and children shot to pieces, without protest ing in the name of law and order; and all this done, too, in the State where Hon. B. H. Hill says the negro is pro tected in his rights—iu Georgia. I» is false, it is not so; and never will be so as long as the Democratic party is in power. The negro boys of Madison disturb the peace of that town bv the beating of tin pans and demoniac yells in the night time. A little powder and lead judici ously administered would remedy the evil. —Monticello Constitution. Ah, sir; and this is the way you would advise your people to shoot down poor little children. Is not the negro being murdered fast enough ? Oh, Lord, bow long shall this thing last. Now our children must be shot down to satisfy our best friends. A Florida paper says that the negro women in that State are intense and bit ter in their hatred to the Democratic party, and soma of them have threaten ed their husbands with abandonment it they vote the Democratic ticket. They are right; for the man that would bar ter away the liberty of his wife is not a tit person to have one. We would like to see the women of Georgia do the same, and they must do so if they de sire to be tree. Sunday School Examination and Excursion.
