The STATE TIcKsT.-The Republican and
Banks American State Central Committees, at a
meeting in Boston last week, agreed upon the
following Union ticket for State officers, to be
supported BY the Republicans and Banks Ameri-
cans, as the coming election
For Governor--Nathaniel P. Banks of Wal
than.
Lieutenant Governor Eliphalet Trask of
Springfield.
Secretary Of state-oliver Warner of North
ampton.
Treasurer--AIoses Tenney, Jr., Of Georgetown.
Auditor-CharIes White Of Worcester
Attorney Genersl-Stephen H. Phillips Of Sa-
lem.
The policy Of such an arrangement can readily
be seen. Had it not been done, the Gardnermen
might have succeeded in electiDg some of their
men, though division of the opposition votes on
the minor State offices, on the ticket with Mr..
Banks, while the latter would at the same time
have been triumphantly elected. Now, with
little effort, we shall sweep the whole board, and
elect the whole State ticket in opposition to the
Gardner ticket by the same triumphant majority
which we give to Mr. Banks.
OF the first man upon the above ticket, Ma
thaniel P. Banks, it is unnecessary here to speak.
His name is tower Of strength, anywhere, and
his election settled matter, if we but do our
duty.
The next name, that of Eliphalet Trask, ex-
Mayor Of Springfield. is one calculated not to
detract from the credit of the ticket Like Mr.
Banks, Mr.. Trask is self made, and mechanic
and his success in life is an illustration of the
al TO- "a IF ;pt
Although an American, he is by his new associa-
tion placed in unison with the great party of free
dom which is destined to bear sway in the coun-
try, by the future union of the friends of liberty
at the North in one common organization.
Oliver Warner, the candidate for Secretary of
State, is man Of whom every Republican in the
State is proud to speak. in view of his past able
and acceptable services in the cause of freedom,
in his several years Of service in the State Legs-
lature, both in the House and at the Senate
Board. Oihim it is unnecessary to speak at this
time further in Communication, to those who are
familiar with our legislative history for few
years past Mr.. Warmers ability and eminent
qualifications for the post OF Secretary Of State,
not whisper of doubt can be raised His cleo
ton is beyond peradventure.
The candidate for State Treasurer Moses Ten
ney, Jr., of Georgetown, is the present incum.
bent of that responsible post. Independent in
the discharge of his official duties, he has proved
himself faithful and efficient officer. His refus-
al to bowto the dictation of his Excellency, in
the administration of his Office Ia capital story
inillustration of which is told) is a strong ad-
ditional recommendation in favor of Major Ten
10 ;es ,,ok A.
times demand.
Of the candidate for Auditor, our fellow towns
man, Charles White, it is unnecessary to speak
in commendation of his fitness for the place, to
those who know him best. The Boston Rse says
of him that he sis a tower of strength to the
ticket. His character is irreproachable, his in
tegrity undOubted, and he possesses those peoul-
lar qualities as a business man, which eminently
qualify him for the post of State Auditor"
OF Stephen H. Phillips, the candidate for At
torney General we speak the assurance of all
who know, when we say that he possesses in an
eminent degree all the requisite qualifications for
the position for which he has been nominated,
both by the Republican Convention of June oath,
and the State Committee of the Republicans and
Banks Americans There is not more accepta-
BILE candidate to both sections, upon the ticket,
and no one.more worthy could have been named.
He is wor thy descendant Of a worthy stock, in
heriting in large degree the admirable traits of
character Of his revered and lamented father, the
late Hon. Stephen C. Phillips. The Salem Ga
sette published in his place of residence, says of
Stephen H. Philips -
she is known all over this region as being eve
~ inch man. For the short time which SO
young man have devoted to professional
life, few can have filled more important posts. He
began practice in Boston with Mr.. now Judge
Sanger, and shortly after became editor of the
Law Reporter, in which responsible position he
was, for considerableetime, widely and favora-
bly, known toathe legal profession. Reasons OF a
private nature requiring him to be near his fami.
ly, ne opened an Office in Salem, and was soon
appointed by Gov. Boutwell,, political opponent,
to the District Attorneyship of this county. How
long and we'll he discharged that function, our
readers know. Having retained the office under
more than one governor whose election he had
publicly opposed, be resigned with so much honor
as to be talked of in the Rockwell convention for
Attorney General, especially by the delegation
from New Bedford, where he had been called upon
to othciate at criminal term OF court during the
illness Of the Attorney Of that county.
Though talked of before, he has never before
been presented to the people for any office. He
has labored assiduously at his profession amongst
u.s. and whether to the satisfaction of his clients
and the public, will be satisfactorily shown us,
we think, in November.
But while his nomination rests, as everybody
wishes itshould, on ripe professional reputa-
ton, his liberality in matters OF craftsmanship
and reform are as well known. Asking for no Of
flee, his voice has never been silent in any inn
poItant political contest, nor his hand slow to
help ouAany publicsprted measure"
The change of Mr.. Warmers name from the
candidacy for Lieutenant Governor to that for
Secretary of State, we think will be acceptable to
all our Republican friends. Hon. Joseph White
Of Lowell, and Hon. yelorous Taft Of Upton,
both Of whom have earned such eminent credit
by their services in the Legislature, it is under
stood were not DESTROYS to be retained upon the
ticket On which they were originally placed by
the Republicans They would both have made
excellent officers but they were both anxious for
some ainicable arrangement by which common
ticket, to be supported by all the friends Of Mr..
Banks, could be formed, and snch an one has
been made, as above. Let US all go to work in
good earnest, and elect Il.
