was highly recommended.a as a candidate
for the Lieutenant Governorship two
years ago, but the fusion Convention
which then assembled, containing too
many unrepublican elements to secure his
nomination. He is honest, circum pect
and of an unIiring energy.

Hon. A. P. STONE, of Columbus. can
didate for the Office Of State Treasurer
was also candidate for nomination to
the same Office two years ago, and in the
Fusion Convention a few votes more
would have secured his nomination. But
through the intrigues of Breslin and
his insiduous friends, the few votes were
withdrawn from Stone, and by their
transfer was Gibson nomination secured
Mr.. G., as is we'll known, is brotber-in
law to Mr.. Breslin, and his nomination
was undoubtedly contrived and secured.
for the sole purpose of concealing Bres-
Ilin's enormous defalcation. MIR. Stones
present nomination is a matter of justice
to himself. With respect to his capabili-
ty and character will merely state, that
he has for many years been resident OF
Columbus, where he enjoys the respect
and confidence of all who are honored
with his acquaintance.
Hon. A. P. Russell, candidate for the
State Secretaryship, is represented to us
as noble minded gentleman of undoubt-
ed ability to discharge all the duties in
cumbent on the Office. He is the editor
and proprietor of newspaper in Clinton
county, and bis ability as writer is be-
yopd controversy.
Mr.. Jacob Blickensderfer, of Tusca-
rawas, isIcandidate for reelection to the Of
fee of Canal Commissioner, or Board OF
Public Works. We would most cheer

on some other person. True, he is quail

charge of.any duty which may be assign
ed him in his official capacity; he not on
Ily speaks, but reads and writes the Ger
man language, besides having acquired
many other of the useful branches OF
knowledge; but there attaches neverthe-
less, whether through merit or injustice,
suspicion that this conduct was not un-
exceptionable in the matter of Canal Con-
tracts. We have been assured by seve-
raj delegates, that upon investigation no
imputation can possibly in truth attach
to any Of his transaction 4; but the very
investigation should be necessary on this
point should have actuated every dele
gate to select some other person to be
nominated for this office. The Demo
cratic nominee for this Office is certainly
more Objectionable from every stand
point in which we view it, but the fact
that the Democrats have set US bad ex-
ample cannot be received as an apology.
