he may meet with success in all his under.

q (. TUESDAY MORNING. MAY /, 1855.
The FALL ELECTION. The election which
is to take place next October is more inn
rortaht than any which has been or will be
held in this State for many years. Our
reasons for this assertion. we shall endeavor
to discuss at some future time. We pro-
pose now simply to call attention to the Of
fees to be filed, and tho candidates named
for each.
s'he State officers to be elected are: Gov
ernor, Lieut.. Governor, Auditor Of State,
Secretary Of State, two Judges Of the Su-
preme Court, Attorney General and Mem
Der Of the Board Of Public Works
One ticket is already in the field; but it
smells altogether too strong of Pierce and
Nebraska to suit any Of our readers. An
opposition ticket is wanted--and only one
opposition ticket. It becomes us, therefore,
10 act understahdingly in this matter, and
take such preliminary steps as will unite all
our forces upon one ticket, composed of
\ good and true men.
For Governor the names Of Hon. s. P.
Chase. Gen. S.!F. Cary, Hon. L. D. Camp
bell, Hon. ]. Brinkerhof. and Judge Fish
back. have been announced Chase, in
point Of ability, ranks first; but his former
course has rendered him extremely odious
70 q large portion Of the old Wing party.
They cannot forget the bargain and SALE
which placed him in the United States SEN
ate, or his famous letter to the Democracy
Of Ohio. Cary is the champion Of tn.
Maine Law forces, but otherwise we think
him the weakest candidate on the list
Campbell is needed in Congress, and We
do not think he will consent to run. Brink
erhoff is very talented young man-i
Free Soil Wing. Fishback, however, il
our choice, smong those named He is
man Of undoubted ability and integrity, ant
has not rendered himself obnoxious to am
party. His position on the bench has KEEP
him aloof, in great measure. from part,
strife.
For Lieut.. Governor and Auditor Of State
We have seen no names publicly announced
For Secretary Of State H. T. Bascom
former editor Of the Ohio State Journal
and J. H. Baker, editor of the Scioto Ga
zctte. are the two most prominent cand
dates. The only objection we could urg
; to either is, that Baker is rather too youn
and inexperienced. We could heartily SUP
port either; but should prefer Bascom.
For Attorney General, R. M. Corwint
VIM. Window, and f. D. Kimball are ar
nounced. Corwine is proslavery and ant
Maine-L Law, and could not obtain our SUI
port If nominated. Window and Kimba
are all right on these questions, and eitht
swould be acceptable.
4, For Treasurer Of State, Major VIM.
Young, Of Butler county, and w. B. Fai
child, of Xenia, are announced. We ha,
no choice
For Supreme Judges, but one name hi
yet been announced--that Of Judge Roger
Of Springfield.
m7For Board of Public Works, more tn;
adozen names have been mentioned. Be
jamin Eggleston, Of Cincinnati, stands me
prominent.
We shall have something further to 81
on the subject hereafter.
