The Republican State and Territorial COnvea-
ton las iust adjourned after presenting to the
people mcst admirable ticket for the election on
October 49, The Hon. Alexander Ramsey Of this
city, former Territorial Governor, was unanimously
nominated for the same Office under the state Con-
sitution and, indeed has been the openly expressed
choice of the party from the beginning. No man
could run better. His long residence among US
he's made his name familiar in every section OF the
Territory; and 10 candidate could have been Sc
lected. combining ability and popular qualities in
more distinguished degree.
For Lieut.. Governor, John C.. Ide Of Wauseca
County was fixed upon. Mr.. Ide is also an excel
lent choice, and will, II elected, preside most ac-
ceptably over our Senate.
Messrs L. X Stannsrd Of Chisago County f.
Mantor of Dodge County, and A. p. Lane of AuOka
County were named for Secretary OF State Treas
urer and Auditor respectively. Mr.. Stannard is
one Of the most popular of the prominent men of
the party Messrs Lane aud Mantor are also well
known as men OF high character aud firm Repub-
lcaDism.
For Judges Of the Supreme Court, III. II. Bige-
low Of st. Paul nominated for Chief Justice,
and J.. ~ Berry Of Faribaul5 County, and II. A.
Mr.. Bigelow, Of the law firm of Brisbin n BigeloW
is gentleman Of about - years of age, and is re-
garded as one Of the first lawyers of this cty as
man of delibeIatiyc and Judicial mind, he has no
superior in the bar of the Territory. His nomina-
ton is one Of the best our ticket. His law part
uer, tie Hon. J. Ii. Brlsbin, now Mayor of ST.
Paul. will probably be nominated to the same office
by the Democrats at their Convention the
18th. Both gentlemen are popular, and will push
each other well for the flee.
Mr.. Berry is man of talent, and well qualified
for judicial station. Both he and Mr.. billings,
who is also highly spoken Of will, we think, carry
Southern Minnesota by good majority.
George W. NOuTse Of st. Anthony, Of the law
finn Of Nsurse Il Winthrop, was nominated for
Attorney General. Mr.. Nourse s one of the most
able and energetic of the leading men of the Re-
publican Iarty and is son OF the Hon. Amo,
Nourse of the United States Senate.
For Clerk Of the Supreme Court, Mr.. A. B.
Russell of Scott County was nOmnsted. Mr.. Rus
sell has hilbert done good service for the Republi-
can cause as editor of the Republican organ of his
county.
Our Members Of Congress are admirably selected.
They are NJ $. Wilkinson of Houston County,
H. A. Swift Of 81. Peter, NcOllet County, aud
Cyrus Abrich OF Minneapolis, Hennepin County.
Mr.. Wilkinson, for some time Of the ablest law
yers of the 81. Paul bar, il one Of the strongest
nsmes on the ticket. Messrs. Swift and Ahrich
very pOpuidI, WIN PVii u NOtc III
Democratic counties. In fact, We intend that Mr.
Swift shall carry Nicollet for Us, and that Mr.. Al
drich shall bIIng us good many Democratic votes
in Ramsey. Tie three are to be voted for on gen.
eral ticket and We are confident that our opponents
cannot find three men who will command so unit
Golnly strong vote in all sections of the Territory
Charles Mcclure Of GOodhue County was NOM
mated for Delegate to Congress under the Terri
toral organization. He is an energetic, Jealous
man. and q capital Granddaughter, and though
Bis stay at Washington, if elected, will be probably
short, lie will yet make his mark
The ticket as whole, is universally satlstac-
tory. All the sections of the Territory are re-
presented, and yet no unworthy compromise has
been made We feel confident OF success, when We
can present such names TO the mass of the people.
Congratulate us, then, on the successful and harn0-
NOUS result of our first State Convention, as we'll
4, ON the strength of our first State ticket.
The Democracy, so called meet at st. Paul on the
18TH The Hen. II. II. Slbley, of Mendoza, will be
their CANDIDATE for Governor, and viii make strong
candidate. For Congress, Messrs. Atwater, Joe
Brown and BE cker generally named. The two
first will almost certainly be fixed upon, but Mr..
Rocker is from ST. Paul, and Satan only knows upon
whom. from this Democratic stronghold, the Rice
and German factions will finally unite. Franklin
steele has rendered himself obnoxious b. hls late
olaruq gorge of the Fort Smelling Reserve, that he
could not stand for moment, as a candidate Tor
any Office whatever
We all eagerly look forward 10 the day which Is,
AT least 10 free from the mlsrue OF the offlcIds
Of the Administration. y
