AUDITOR STArE-An Auditor of State and
Treasurer Nill have be elected the coming ses-
sion of our Legislature We notice in The Stale
Sentinel that the nanic Of DR.. Z. w. II. Ellis edi-
tor of The Goshen Democrat, is announced a can
didae for Auditor Of State, and that paper speaks
quite favoraby of the claims of DR.. Ellis to the num-
ination.
We hope the democrats in the Legislature may do
the fair thing towards The north this time, and elect
DIR. Ellis. Among all the asprans who may present
their claims there will be no one we venture
seri, better qualified, and perhaps few well, to
perform the duties Of the station thaG our friend the
Doctor; and assUredy there can be none who have
stronger claims to the support of the party than he.
For years lie has done his duty faithfully earnestly.
and with ability in support of the principles of the
party, and editor of the Goshen Democrat has
welded powerful influence in the political regen-
eration of the State. That his abors have not been
without effect is manifested by the increase in
the democrntc vote Of the counties in which his pa
per circuaies.
The nurh has now become the strongest and most
reliably demncratic portion of the State; but yet.
strange it may appear its citizens have been gen.
orally overlooked in the selection Of candidates for Of
ice; aud even when they have been nominated in
legislative caucus they have been basely forsaken by
protesting democratic members from the South. 1t
is tine this species of trckery and bargaining should
cease, and do hope that Dr. Ellis may be treated
with fairness and honesty and if he be selected by
the caucus as the democratic candidate that ecerg
democrat in the Legislature may feel in honor bound
10 vote for him. If the caucus, which we suppose
will be held to decide which of the aspirants shall be
selected the democratic candidate, be conducted
fairly, know enough of Dr. Ellis to Justify us in
promising for him that he will cheerfuly acquiesce
in its decision, and If he should not be the nominee
will expect his friends to give the support TO
the one selected that they should to him. But IT,
the contrary there should be any Of that irickery and
insnceriiy manifested by members from other parts
g a.
selves similar occasions, it may then be question
whether the democrats of the north ought longer to
submit 10 the prescription we have SD long endured.
Much we dPprecale local and sectional differences
and dissenions IN our ranks, not prepared to
say that ought longer TO succunb TO this unfair
course towards the north il it should again be at
tempted would prefer to all the members from
that portion of the Stale vote against the nominee,
instead of tacitly aiding the efforts of those who
have hitherto oppressed US, by supporting their
didate.
We trust however no such difficulty will arise. The
north is fairly entitled this time to of the State
Offices. DR.. Ellis is the candidate of the north, and
as such we hope he may be elected.
The Lafayette Journal (whig) speaks thus favora-
bly, Of Dr. Elss qualifications for the Office in ques
ton
''Dr. Ellis Editor of the Goshen Democrat, is an
nouneed as a candidate for State Auditor If Doug
lass Mcguire is to be superseded by democrat,
hope the Doctor will be the man, for he has ba tiled
for his party long and faithfully and his experience
County Auditor since the office establish
ed in this State has given abundant proof of his hon.
esty and efficiency as public officer"
AUDITOR OF SrArE.-Wc notice, in the last num-
Der of the State Sentinel the name of DR.. E. w. H.
ELLIS, of Ekhart county, candidate for Auditor
of State. DR.. Ellis is well and favorably known
throughout the State as editor of the Goshen Demo
crat, one of the best conducted papers in the North
He has also been Auditor of Elkhart county for
number Of years. His qualifications for the Office are
second to those of no other man in the State
1t strikes that this is most excellent nomina-
ton; and have little doubt but that his name will
be one OF the most prominent for that Office before
Legislature. Since the organization of the State
SO far recollect, citizen of Northern
Indiana has held any prominent Office under the State
Government. This is not it should be. For our
self, but little what part of the State fur
nshes lis officers. provided that they have the requ-
site qualifications. But snch is not the general feel
ing in this any other State. Whenever qualified
and proper men TO be found in tie various sections
of the State simple Justice demands fair and equal
distribution of Offices; and this equal handed justice
experience teaches us, is necessary The effective
ness Of n party.
That Dr. Ellis deserves well of the Democr a tic
party lei the three hundred and four hundred mainri-
ties of old siaunch Democratic Elkhart testify His
election to the office for which he is candidate will
oe SDple act ol pOlItlcaI Justlce I'D the l lected
North which while it respects and supports right
ful claims of al sections of tie State, desires that
she may not be entirely ostracised from participation
in the honors and responsibilities Of the State Gov
eminent. Michigan City Neics.
The following from leading northern wing paper,
edited by Millkan, a member elect may 90 for what
it is worth. aud that is no. much According to the
Wing, old lack must have client himself to party
schemes -
We see that DR.. Ellis, editor Of the Goshen Demo-
crat, is announced in the State Sentinel ms a candi-
date for State Auditor. Major Mace has friends
also. who urging his claims for election to the
same Office, and how many candidates will be
presented for the same Office we know not but as
locofoco friends have pretty large majority in
4 the Legislature, we presume they will feel pretty
confident of cletng men of their party to all the va
cant Offices and the probability is that there will be
but little short of half of candidates for each
Office to be filed Knowing that they have nothing
to expect in the way Of Office from the General Gov
eminent. the capital of this State will unquesionaby
be hronged next winter. with the hungrest set of 10.
cofoco oce-seekers that infested the capital of
any State.-LaPorte Wing.
Safe Printer will be elected this winter in place
of John d. Defrees. The Chapmans of the State
Sentinel. il is Supposed will be elected. The print.
ing for The State never done half good previ-
Gus to the election of Mr. Defrees, but presume
this will do no good now.-Lajayette Jaarnal.
Now that's smart paragraph, considering the
fIcis. Is the editor Of the Journal fool or knave!
i We see the names of DR.. Ellis, Editor of the Go
shen Democrat. and Maj. Mace, Of Lafayette, men
toned candidates for Auditor Of State before the
next Legislature. Either of these gentlemen, we
!, presume, would make good officers.
We hope our Democratic friends in the next Leg
islature, will elect the State officers accordirg par
