yentions, but it is 90 instructive to remark" that
he hailing one time from Marquette CO., and ano-
Their from Fond du Lac. Mr.. Beall belongs to
that class of politicians known heretofore as Tads
in the history of our state and territory, which, as
near IA we can make out means incn who are
always up for the best bargains in politics; and
those who know him will probably not deny that
if such be the characteristics of that party he re-
presents it very fully. On the great question
which originated the Free Democratic party, Mr..
Bealls predictions are all southern We have
no doubt he will give hearty assent to the reso-
lutions not rejected by the convention which no.
minated him. as he would to any thing necessary
to ensure his success, but nevertheless those
who know him intimately, state that he enter
tains sentiments of the deepest hostility to the
movements designed to secure the establishment
Of the proviso. In his moral character Mr. Bcall
is by no means above .reproach. The people o:
the territory have emPhatically repudiated men
on the ground of moral character, who were
quite as good as is lie, and we cannot understand
why they should now endorse him. and we ap-
prehend they will not. OF the wing nominee,
Mr.. Howe, little need be said lie is doubtless
sufficiently qualified for the pace, and is in all
respects, except his Taylor whiggery, unex-
ceptionabe. Like Mr.. BcaIl, he is practicing
lawyer, and in that fact we think the laboring
men of the state will see Il preference for Mr..
Bannister, who is one of themselves, practical
working man.
/ We Us2 no unmoaning words when we say
that the selection of Mr.. Holton as S ,cretary of
State, is an admirable one. His capcity can not
be excellod, and as 4 man of integrity and up
rghtucss, indeed as gentleman in every walk
of life, h is irrcprcachable. Added TO this, he
furnishes in his past life Il guarantee of devotion
TO our principles which must ensure him the
cordial support of every free democratic voter
We can say nothing against his bunker oppo-
ncnt, Mr.. Barstow, except what may be urged
against prominent politicians of that party gem
orally, lack of political integrity. As between
the Free Democratic and bunker parties, the po-
sItion OF Mr.. Barstow wa: very questionable I'M
I'll his nomination was secured at the convention
OF the 5;h, when of course his aspirations were
satisfied. He is a schcming, Intriguing, trading
politician, and as he brings no qualification SUI
p2rior to his opponent, we know not why he
be preferred. Levi Alden, the whig nomi-
ne, is editor of the GAINESVILLE Gazette, and in
that capacity has furnished abundant evidence
WHY bOlJiDo tbo &c h.
democratic or free democratic parties should
vote for him. If there are voters enough in the
state who subscribe to the narrow and illibcral
doctrines of ultra whiggery, to give him ma O.
rity, we hope they will do it, but we hope none
others will assist in the work.
Perhaps of all our nominees, the least is ger
orally known of our nominee for Treasurer,
Charles NJ. Goodscl. We wish every voter in
the state could become acquainted with him. or
could mingle with his neighbors and learn fro m
them as to his character. Search the state from
Lake Superior to Illinois, from lake Michigan to
Mississippi and the superior of Mr.. Goodsel icr
that particular office, cannot DO found. His bu.
siness capacity and habits are of the first order
and his integrity is of that chronic nature which
it will be found hard to eradicate from his svs:en
and which makes hundred thousand dollar bonds
for the faithful performance of duty,a supcrfuous
matter His bunker opponent is J. c. Fairchd
familiarity known as Old Tad which signifies,
we suppose, the father of all Tads So far as
we know him, we believe him entitled to the
distinction. He hurraed for Harrison and ard
cider il 1910, and of course did not support Van
Buren, in lS4S. He is beyonl question To-
tician Of very easy virtue, and went be very apt
to trouble himself about the principles of party

Marshall NJ. Strong,our candidate for Attorney
General, needs no commentator at cur hands.
His history is the history of oar state Among
the very first settlers of tie country, lie as TAR
ucipaIod in almost every important measure that

sembly. A. is well known, the labors of the lo-
gis!aure were a1duous. As member, the la
oors OF Ar Strong were more than arduoUs, they
were gigantic. To his cool mind and clear per-
cepuons all eyes were turned, and without dispa-
raging others, We may say with truth that no one
man labored as assiduorsly or accomplished as
much for the state, as did Mr.. Strong. As
lawyer he stands at the head of lis profession.
