“(MOR PRESIDENT,
GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT.
For Vice President,
SCHUEEER COLPAX.
Men or oun Trmes.—We have before us a volume of 575 pages, entitled
“Men of our Times” by Harriet Beecher
Stowe.. It contains well written sketches of the prominent public men in the
country, and iswell worthy of a reading.
Mrs. Stowe is an excellent judge of character, possessing a’ faculty of seeing . .
men as they are and not as they ap, pear. The book contains interesting
sketches of Grant and Colfax, who are
now the standard bearers of the loyal
men of the nation. She gives some of
the qualities’ which’ fit Grant to be a
rulerof men. She says: “Among them
are some plain and common place virtues. Such is his unflinching adhera ence.to what he thinks right. Such is}
his unconditional public and private
honesty.
the solicitous care with which he kept
the cotton business outside of his command in the West as long as possible, .
from a well founded dislike of its immense corrupting power. When at
“last he had to consent to the progress
of the $rade in territory taken from the
_ febele, he specified that it should be
“beets in the hands of honest, trusty and.
undoubted Union men. He was asked
to name such men. He replied, ‘I will
do no such thing. If I did, it would
appear in less than a week that I was a .
partner of every one of these persons
trading under my authority.’ Another
* guch virtue is, that scrapulous official
economy by which General Grant has
~<glready saved our overtaxed country
five millions dollars a year, by cutting
--@own the expenses of the War Department. *
“He also possesses: other very noticeable qualificatious of a more special sort,
and so much rarer among public men,
that they must be named. even in the
shortest inventory of Gen. Grant’s character. Two of these are, the broadest
and most. generous justice in attributing the credit of doing well where it
belongs, and remarkable wisdom in
judging and selecting men. Of the
former, his letter to Sherman-at the
time ofhis appointment as Lieutenant
General, is a good instance. * * #
Of his wisdom in selecting and trasting
assistants and sub-ordinates, the list of
theirnames is very sufficient evidence.
The proved possession of this one faculty goes very far to. prove that its posseasor is competent to govern,and where
@ strong will and stainless public and
private morals are added, the presumption grows very much stronger.. A gigantic power of minding his own business and holding his own tongue is even
‘@ greater wonder in General Grant than
his being honest and just. An instance of his successful resistance of the
most violent pumping of him for a
epeech has been given ; and other such
brilliant “flashes ‘of silence” as Sydney
Smith would have called them, illuiminate his whole career during and
since the war. :
The sketch of Colfax concludes as
follows: “Continuing in Congress Mr.
Polfax served with effect and patriotic
favor in his place, and in December;
mained Speaker. In this extremely responsible, important and laborious . ii.
place, h‘s official career has been openly
visible to all men, while only those
among whom he presides can competently a te the rare personal aid
acquired which he hasso ably exercised
=~the ever good temper, the exhaustless
patience, the calm and prompt presence. of mind, the immense range of
honest questions and uly quibbles of
jaw which he must have
tongue’s ead; ever the vigorous,
and enduring physical frame,
which enables him to set through
after session, day after day, wi
peireesdinnsnatsiangts
This was well exemplified in . "
His duties have not been in the nation
so brilliant asthe deeds of our great’
prominent as the labors of some civil-~
ian officials; but they have been such
as to require the greatest and most solid
and useful of the civil virtues, courage,
Eateorwrn _. integrity, forethought, “justice; and
steady inexhaustible industry.” Such _.
Vice President, and there never was a
better ticket before the country.’ Both
men possess in an eminent degree ex-,
cellent administrative ability, and are
in every way worthy of the support of
‘the people of the country.
THe Nominations.=~-The following
are the proceedings of the National
Convention in reference to nominations.
The Chairman announced that nominations were in order. Logan said: “In.
the name of the loyal citizens, soldiers
and sailors of this great republic, in the
name of loyalty, liberty, humanity, justice, in the name of the National Union
Republican party, 1-nominate as—-our
‘candidate for Chief Magistrate of this]
nation, Ulysees 8. Grant,”
‘The nomination was received-with a
perfect frenzy of applause and cheers.
The roll of States was called, each
State casting its vote solid for Grant.
When Stratman cast the vote of .
California, he said ten delegates had
come six thousand miles to mint this
vote for Grant.
Six hundred and fifty votes were cast
inall.~~ Nominations. for Vico President Were
then in order.
Virginia nominated Renates Wilson.
Indiana nominated Ben. Wade. New
York nominated Fenton. Maryland
-hominated ex-Senator Creswell. Pennsylvania nominated Governor Curtin.
lowa nominated Senator Harlan. Maine
nominated Hannibal Hamlin. Kansas
nominated Pomeroy. Kentacky.nominated James 8 oe
The first. ballot resulted ‘as follows:
Wade, 149 ; Fenton, 125; Wilson, 119;
Harlan, 16; Speed 22; Creswell 14.
On the bi Speed 98: Wade got 170;
Fenton, 140 ; Wilson, 118 ; Colfax. 145;
Curtin, 40; Hamlin, 80.
California voted for Wade 5, Fenton
2, Wilson 1, Colfax 2
On the fifth ballot a break occurred in
favor of Colfax, Iowa leading off, followed by Pennsylvania, others falling
rapidly into line, until his nomination
wa 8 made unanimous.
ade’s strength had gradually increased until it become evident that the
contest was between these two.
The Convention, after this, very soon
