the state Candidates.

the nominations for STATE officers made
at the State Convention Of the 9Th inst.
The proceedings were harmonious, and
the result is the selection Of ticket
which must be generally satisfactory and
which can scarcely fail Of success.
Gov. WooD is re-nominated for Gov
ernor, and will not only be re.eiecied
himself but will strengthen the whole
Ticket. He has heretofore distinguished
himself as an able jurist, and possesses as
a gentleman those esiimable qualities Of
manner and character which win and
command for him the esteem Of moi
merely the men Of his own party, but Of
all parties.
Mr.. MEDILL has heretofore held various
situations Of trust and honor from The
people. He has been member Of the
Ohio Legislature, member Of Congress
iom 1889 to lS43, and under Mr.. Folks
administration was Commissioner Of In
dian affairs, and lastly held the distin-
guisAed position Of President Of the Ohio
Constitutional Convention. Distinguished
by prudence, sagacity and indomitAbIe
irmness in all Of these positions, he has
increased public confidence and esteem
for his conduct and character. He will
make most excellent Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
WILLIAM DUANE MoRcAN, candidate
for Auditor Of State, is capable and
Thorough business man, and is at present
editor Of the Ohio Patriot, and Treasurer
of "OldE Columbiana." As an editor he
is truly independent,and his ariicles,more
than those Of most editors in the State,
have the characteristics Of clear sound
sense and political sugac,iy. Energetic
and intelligent he possesses the neces-
sary qualities 10 discharge well the dulles
Of State Auditor, rightly filed the most
impoI ant office in the State.
JOHN G. BREsLlN, candidate for Trea-
surer, is a self-made man, and has al
ready held the place Of Clerk Of The
Senate, a member Of and Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives. He is editor
Of She Seneca Advertiser, a fearless and
able Democratic Journal.
DR.. WIN. TREvITT, the candidate for
Secretary Of State, has been member
Of the Legislature, and has before held,
we believe, the Office for which be is a
candidate, and served in the Ol,io
volunteers and in the regular army as a
| surgeon during the war with Mexico.
He is a very capable man.
The candidate for Attorney General,
GnoRcE E. PUcH, Is young man Of rare
ability and eloquence. He commanded
company in Mexico during the war,
and most will remember his clear, logical
and conclusive arguments on the ques-
ton Of the contested Hamilton county
seats in the Legislature, during the ses-
sion of 1S4S-9, as evidence Of legal
mind Of high order. Mr. Pugh has an
enviable reputation as lawyer.
R. P. RANNEY, and W. b. CALDWELL
were both unanimously re-nominated to
the Supreme Bench. Judge Ranney be-
came best known 10 the people as an
able leader OF radical Democratic princi-
pies in the Constitutional Convention.
Judge CALDWELL has filled the Office Of
President Judge Of the Cincinnati Com
mon Pleas, and has on The Supreme
Bench acquitted himself with credit.
Both are accomplished lawyers. Our
readers will recollect the high opinion
expressed Of JOHN A. CoRwIN, by cor
respondent Of the Venture in advocating
his nomination for Judge. We have
every reason TO believe that on the benc b
Mr.. G. will justify the very high opinion
expressed Of him in that article. 7. w.
BARTLEY and A. G. THURMAN have both
held distinguished positions by the gift
Of the people, and are gentlemen Of abil-
ity and learning, well worthy the general
high character Of the Ticket for Supreme
Judges, which is decidedly above the
average Of Legislative appointments.
OF The candidates for members Of the
Board Of Public Works, little need be
said, CIV. MANyPENNr and A. P. MIL
LER have already held the position with
| public approbation,a ,as is evidenced by their
unanimous denomination. The new
candidate, Mr.. STEEDMAN, is the first
