The Couven1ion-The Ticket

The COnvenIion-The Ticket
The Republican State Convention just he'o
vas one of the largest and best Delegate assem-
h,ages ever convened in Ohio. The counties
were represented by intelligent, patriotic, ear
nest men. and their deliberations were chaTac-
rized by good order. good sense, harmony. and
despatch. No sectional spirit or clique man
azement controlled the convention, and the
action of the body gave satisfaction to all Por-
lions oe the State, eementing the opposition to
The Administration of Mr.. Buchanan from the
Lake to the River. 1t is now rendered quite
certain that there viii be but two State tickets
IN the field this fall-the Republican Anti-Le-
compton and the LeeomptOn Democratic
Even in Hamilton county the prospects are
very aattering for united opposition ticket 10
tie Democratic Lecompton, and this that for
mer strong citadel of the Democratic party in
the State will be forced to surrender
The ticket presented for the sufrages of the
People is eminently worthy of universal sup
port. WILLIAM V. PEcK, of Seioto, for Su-
preme Judge, possesses rare talents, qualifca-
tious and experience Though but slightly
known in the Lake counties, his name is famil-
lar to all parties in the River region, and he
enioys the esteem and confidence of all in a
remarkable degree This is shown by the
unanimous support he has received on former
occasions in his Judicial District, composed of
the counties of SciOto, Pike, Jackson, Law
renee, and Vinton-a district usually Demo-
cratic, we believe, excel. when Judge PEcK is
in the field A native OF, and educated in Con-
neeticut, Judge s. in early life settled in South
en Ohio, where he soon acquired an extensive
practice in his profession, and established an
enviable reputation as sound able lawyer, and
gifted, exemplary man. At the session Of
Is44-5, the Wing General Assembly elected
Judge PEcK to the Common Pleas bench So
ably and so satisfactorily did he discharge the
duties of Judge, that upon the adoption of the
new Constitution he was elected by the people
of the District without any opposing candidate,
and in 1856 he was reelected with but three Op-
position votes in the five counties! The legal
profession in his District speak of him as one
of the most acute, elear-headed and profound
jurists of the age, and the people all esteem him
as the Just Judge His election will do honor
to the Supreme Bench of the State of Ohio.
WILLIAM B. THRALL, of Franklin. for Comp
troller of the Treasury, is also an excellent Sc
lection. Mr.. THRALL is wellknown throughout
the State, and formerly conducted the Ohio Stale
Journal with marked ability. man of iuhex-
ible integrity, discrimination, sound judgment,
and familiar with governmental matters, the
Convention correctly appreciated his fitness for
the place by giving him nearly an unanimous
vote of nomination the first ballot
CHRIsToPHER P WoLcorr, of Summit, for At
torney General, has been tried and not found
wanting. The laundering aye which unani-
mously proclaimed him the first and only choice
of the Convention, was such an endorsement
of an able and faithful discharge of important
official duties, as few men win in 4 lifetime.
JOHN L. MARTIN, of Butler, for Member of
the Board of Public Works, is good selection
in locality and candidate. Mr.. CONovER, who
has charge Of the Southern Division Of the
Miami Canal, is the retiring Mamhar Af H.
Board Mr.. MaRTIN resides at Middletown, in
that Division, and is an extensive Flour and
Paper manufacturer. Born and bred in the free
air of the Green Mountains of Vermont, Mill
wright by profession, he emigrated to Franklin
county, Ohio, in 1897. From 1910 to ls45 he
was employed in heavy Canal repair jobs be-
tween Columbus and Portsmouth, and an
engineer. For ten years past Mr.. NJ. has had
no connection with the Public Works, but has
successfully followed manufacturing pursuits.
He is fine specimen of the old fashioned Wing
sons of Molly Stark-intelligent, active. hon
est, and capable; not an Offiee-seeker, hut COM
petert and ready to serve the State faithfully
That he is exactly the right sort of man for
the place, was evidenced by the tenacity with
which the delegates who best knew his worth |
voted for his nomination from the first to the /
final ballot. On the last ballot nearly the en-
tire vote of the Reserve was cast for Ar. MAR !
TIN-just the kind of vote he will get from the /
people of the Reserve, We doubt not, on the 1
second Tuesday of October.
The Resolutions adopted are brief, to the |
point, and acceptable to the entire Convention
Such was the ConventiOn-such is the ticket |
presented for the suffrages of the electors of
Ohio. Let it be earnestly, vigorously, and /
triumphantly supported.
