\
We publish the peoples State ticket to-
day, that our readers may know who are in
the field in opposition to the Douglas-Ne-
braska ticket, and that those who have not
already done so, be able to examine the mer-
its of the respective candidates named, and
their claims upon the people for their sup
port. We need not tell our readers that
there is no Wing State tcket,as such before
the people, and it remains for Wings to
choose between the two State tickets in
nomination, which they will endorse and
support. 1t will not be difficult, we know.
for Wings and anti-Nebraska men, to decide
that they cannot with any degree of propri..
ETY., consistency or even sclf-respect, sup
port the Douglas-N ebtaska candidates put
forth by the Democratic convention Of the
Gath of May last, which nominated its can
didates and placed them upon platform o.
principles, wholly and totally at war with
Wing principles ari Wing measures, in ev-
cry moral, social or political aspect they
may be viewed. =
On the other hand the candidates OF the
peoples ticket are known to warmly espouse
many Of the cardinal principles of the Wing
party. Some of the candidates are, and ever
have been honest and high-minded Wings.
The whole ticket is opposed to the Nebraska
swindle from principles as we'll as nationa
policy, and upon this issue alone it deserves
the cordial support of every Wing in tho
State.
The candidate for the Supreme bench,
Judge Gookins is, and has ever been a true
and consistent Wing; he is man of the
highest order of talents, and in point of le-
gal requirements and peculiar adaptation to
the highest judicial position in the State has
no superior. There is perhaps no quafca.
ton as man, politician, lawyer, that
Judge Go0kins does not possess in pre.em.
inent degree over his competitor, Judge Ho-
vey. While Judge Hovey has been, during
the last ten years, boxing the political COM
pass, and engaged in all the Vaccinations Of
political strife, Judge Gookins has kept COM
paratively aloof from the arena of politics,
in the pursuit Of pressing professional en-
gagaments.
Prof. Mills, the candidate for Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, has been for a
long period of years connected with the lit
erary and scientific institutions of the State,
and latterly has held professional chair in
the Wabash College where he has gained
he - Ii
cessful instructor. He is represented by
those who k now him well, as eminenty qua
lined for that important position. His oppo-
nent is the present incumbent, Mr.. Laraoee,
who visited our city few weeks ago on a
political electioneering tour with the re.
norned Col. May. Mr.. Larrabee was invited
while here, by our Public School Trustees,
to visit and examine the schools and the site
selected for new school houses, &c, but de.
clined evidently preferring to devote his
time and efforts to the discussion and promo.
ton of the general political topics of the
day with his political friends, with on eve
single to his own re-electnn. The cond;-
ton Of the public schools, and especially the
school fund of the State under his superin-
tendence, is argument sufficient against the
continuance Of such man longer in Office.
The other candidates on the ticket are rot
so Familiarity known in this section of the
State. but it is sufficient that their prnc pies
are known, and are such as to claim the cor
dial support of all Wings and anti-Nebraska
men.
