GOOdhue County all Right--A Ticket OF
Good Hue.


RICE-but which last October doomed like
thunderbot on the startled ears of the Moe
casin leaders with a majority of 600 for the
Republican tcket-in this Goodhue county
the banner county of Rcpublicanism i'll Min
nesota, the party seems all alive and glowing
with vigOr and enthusiasm. On the 10th inst.
the Republican County Convention met at
Red Wing, and put in nomination the follow
ing strong ticket
For RepresentatiUes-Rev Matthew Sorin,
of Red Wing; |. Z. Stearns, Zumbrota; Capt.
Gilett. Cannon Falls; Rev. Mr.. Gates, Cher
~ Grove
Register Of Deeds-L. F. Hubbard, of Red
Wing.
PROBATE Jmlge-O. Densmorr, Red Wing.
Couatv .4udiOr-Rev. +. Norrelus, Red
Wing.
District .4to,mey-Clinton Gurnee, Jr., Red
Wing.
!Sherif-M. S. Chandler, of Pine Island.
SwreY0r-J. .. bow, of Cannon Falls.
Coroner-Dr G. Bolander, of Red Wing.
- The Red Wing Sentinel and the ST. Paul
Pioneer emphasize the Rec. prefaced before
the names of Messrs. SoRIN, G ArEs and NOR
RELIUS, as if it were strong point against
them that they had been or are ministers OF
the Gospel. Doubtless, had Democratic
ticket been nominated there with Penman
upon it {; or Colvlle who Struggled away an
election return entrusted to his honor to con-
vey to the County Clerks office or all Irish
man charged with g committing an offence OF
Il henious and uadignifed character" it would
have been all right with those prints /; but to
select competent men, who may have been
Methodist local preachers-select them for
their capacity and character as men and citi-
zens and not for their professon-O, that is
awful shameful NOT to be tolerated
For our part, we are glad to behold men of
such stamp of character, no matter what
have been or is their calling, selected to re-
present the people in our legislative halls
in those halls where buying and selling and
bribery and corruption has been so system
lied by the Rices and Moccasnites, that to
restore purity to them demands the presence
Of men Of the sternest and most unimpeac,
able integrity, and that too, without regard
10 their avocations in life.
MATTHEW SoRIN we remember as first seek
ing Minnesota early in lS49 for the practice of
his trade of Dentist, to which ill-health had
obliged him to resort in lieu Of preaching
From that period to the present time, no man
in Minnesota has achieved a higher reputa-
ton for uprightness of character, good citi-
zenship and intellectual ability.
Mr.. GATES we do not know, but hear that
lie is worthy to be associated on the same
ticket with MATTHEW SoRIN. Mr.. NoRRE-
Illus is the editor of the Swedish paper at Red
Wing and a man of character and ability
The same may be said of Mr.. GILLETT, of
Cannon Falls, and Mr.. SrEARNs ofZumbrota,
who are also on the Legislative ticket.
1t is gratifying to find the Republicans
everywhere Gas for instance in Dakota and
Goodhue cOunties,) nominating men of both
ability and high character for the Legis ature.
This course, persistently followed up through
out the State, cannot but result in redee ming
the reputation of the Minnesota Legislature
from that stain of lmpurity which Democrat
ic majorities have left upon its innermost
chambers,
The nomination Of Mr.. HUBBARD the editor
of the Red Wing Republican, for Register of
Deeds, is deserved tribute to Republican
zeal and intellectual ability; the country Re-
publican press in its infancy, needs every aid
of this kind which can be rendered by the
party to sustain and cherish its existence.
We are always glad to see such editorial nom-
nations made, for they are invariably deserv-
ed and needed
Notwithstanding the Red Wing Sentinel
protests that the Republican nominations of
Goodhue are made only to be beaten, and
that St. Paul press cOncurs in this opinion,
we doubt not that the result will show that
they are neither prophets nor the sons of pro-
phets-they mistake so abominably!
