OUR CANDIDATES.


The candidates Of The Wing party, for State Of
hecrs, are now fairly before the people, and It be-
comes every good Wing TO be thinking what can
be done 10 secure their election. We trust there
is not Wing in the State but what will think Sc
rOusly upon the subject, and not only hiHk, but be
prepared TO act. Our confidence in the men put in
nomination, and in Wing principles, must be shown
by our works-and the time 10 work has already
arrived.
The duty Of selecting The candidates under whose
banner we are TO rally, and as we trust gain ui-
umphant victory, has been performed. We feel
the utmost confidence in the men that have been
nominated. They are known 10 the people. Their
integrity and devo,ions To Wing principles can be
relied upon The good FEELING and ununmiy
which prevailed al the State Convention argues
well for the cause Before nomination is made
Of candidates 10 ll important offers, there will be,
as matter Of course, some diversity Of opinion as
10 men Different individuals will have their ia
voriies and il is oflen difficult TO decide who in
reality is the very best man for particular Office,
where there many every wsy qualified 10 dis
charge ts duties with honor to themselves and the
State. Yet, from smong the many who may be
qualified 10 ill an Office, but prison can hold
the Office al the same time-snd consequently but
one should be supported by the Wings. Our mot
In is, and ever has been, principles, not men. =
When party in good faith act up 10 this, there Is
no difficulty Individual preferences, though they
may exist, laid aside, and all rally as one man
to The support Of candidates regularly nominated.
We feel proud in calling upon The Wings Of this
State 10 up 10 the support Of such men as the
Hon. ions MsrrocKs, and The other distinguish
ed individuals whose names have bren placed upon
the State ticket. We think the man is not 10 be
found who will presume 10 say they are not "hon-
est. fsthfulsLd capable Their talents are known
and appreciatcd--and their devotion to Wing prin-
ciples is too well known 10 be for moment doubt
ed. II may be that we are too confident in their
ability, and rely too strongly upon the good sense
Of the people, in advancing the idea that there is
not individual in the State who will doubt the
qualifications OF the men have nominated. We
recollrct there Lncofocos in the STATE sye, and
blind too, that whatever ability Wing esndi-
date for Office might possess, they could not, or
would not see IT, Therefore we speak quite too
confidently IL we include the rabid part Of the
Locofocos. But there is Wing, and other IN
divdual not enlaBgled in the mazes Of Locofoco-
ism, that will entertain single doubt Of the emit
nent fitness for Office Of the men the Wings have
put in nomination for the first Offices in the gin Of
the people of this STATE. let any Loco, then, who
chooses, be exception, envy not his judg-
ment; and the worst wish we have il in heart
TO wish such person is, that he may soon be con-
WINGED Of his error-and give US a helping hand.
