WHfe NOHiEATIoSs.-The result or the
ballotings Of the Wing State Convention
will be found in the telegraphic column
We can cheerfully say that we like the tick
ct. 1t is a good ticket and a strong ticket
and contrasts favorably with that Of the OPP
Posite party.
The candidate for Governor is from High
land county, at present representing that
district in Congress. His popularity may be
judged of from the fact that he beat his Lo-
cofoco competitor 10 a district where the
majority was several hundred in favor ofthe
latter, and IN re-districting the State, the Lo-
cofoco party had to pile on several hundred
more Of a majority to beat him. They sue
ceeded, but we have strong hopes that he
was reserved for a higher station. He is a
lawyer, a maj. of eminent abilities aud stands
at the head Of his profession in that section
Of the State. AS soon as his name was men
toned in connection with the nomination,
chad a warm side for him and are heartily
glad that he was selected to bear aloft the
Wing banner in the coming contest, which
he will do nobly and without spot or blem-
= ish.
Henry BRAKEMAN, at present represents
Hamilton county, in part, in the Legislature,
to which post he was elected to fill a vacan-
cy. He must be highly popular to have receiv-
ed a majority in that county. He is a man OF
sterling good sense, excellent business hab-
its and will, If elected, make a most energet-
ic and able Treasurer Of State. It was gen.
orally conceded, prior to the Convention,
that he would be the nominee.
Our brother of the Athens Messenger, who
is nominated for Secretary Of State, at pres
ent represents his district in the House. or
his capacity and qualifications, we have
spoken before, and need only add that the
nomination could not have been given to a
worthier man.
w. II. Gibson, who is the candidate for
Attorney General, resides in Ti6in. We
heard him ia the campaign of 1852, and
i'm q tGtJ hlSu SolltlohO VI ~ SuPuSitiCS'
He is a young man, a good Wing and is said
to be an able lawyer.
Mr.. Waddle, who has been nominated for
member of the Board Of Public Works, re-
sides in Chillicothe. He has an extensive
and practical acquaintance with the public
works of the State and Is probably better
qualified for that post than any other nan
in Ohio. 1t is generally conceded by his
opponents that he would make highly useful
and important member of the Board, and
what is better will carry with him a large
number of that party.
The nominations for Supreme Judge and
Lieut.. Governor, are, If we are not mistaken,
both from the Reserve. Mr.. Backus has
formerly been a member of the Legislature,
where he exhibited much ability, and Mr..
Allen is one Of the most enterprising citi-
.zcns in Northern Ohio.
This is the Wing ticket for State Offices,
and we think the choice of the Convention
has fully met the expectations OF those who
desired early nominations. A b%etterticket
could not have been selected, at this or any
other time-a stronger ticket could not have
been formed. We shall have more to say
Of it hereafter.
