Election, Tuesday, November
Republican State Ticket.

The Republican State Convention com
pleted its labors on the LIST inst, and has
presented the following gentlemen as can
didates for the several State Offices:
For Gore, nora. w. RANDALL.
Lieut.. Gorerncr-B. G.. NOBLE.
.Sec'y Of .State-L. z. HARVEY.
STATE Treasurer-S ID. Hastings.
1ttorncy Genernl-J. II HOWE
Bank ComPtroller-G.EAN STEM
WICK.
Supt MStructton-J. L. PIcEARD.
" Prison Com'r-H. G. HEcG,
and we propose briefly to discuss the mer-
its of those gentlemen with regard to the
positions they aspire to, respectively.
A. w. RANDALL, the candidate for Gov
ernor, is the present Executive of the State
having been elected to that position two
years ago by majority Of about $50 only,
in a vote Of over 100 900, and having been
At that time cheerfully supported by every
faction and shade of the Republican party,
from the Boo1H and Horror abolitionists
down to the followers of Judge HowE.-
lie was, of course, the first favorite of the
renegade democrats. GOV. RANDALL, du-
ring his Executive career, has been chiefly
remarkable for a Napoleonic contempt for
the Judgment or wishes of others and has
ruled his party and the State with an auto
cratic spirit. The natural consequence is,
that those of the party who have left in
them any spirit or integrity, revolt at the
election of one who, instead of taking the
position Of the peoples servant, boldly
pronounces himself in words and action,
the peoples master; and his pet organs
have for the past three months employed
themselves principally in the task of insult
ing the friends of CARL SHURTz, and have
thereby alienated from their support an
important element Of strength in the Re-
publican party. We know that the Repub
licans Of native birth laugh at the idea of a
German Republican bolt, and attempt to
say that the dissatisfaction with RANDALL's
nomination is confined to few ambitious
leaders who have no influence with the
masses but the proceedings in their State
Convention give the lie to such statements,
aud the result next November will show
what the Germans of Wisconsin think OF
the " Massachusetts Amendment
Mr.. CARL SHURz, after being defeated for
the nomination of Governor, was insulted
by the offer Of the second place on the tick
ct, but promptly and Indignantly refused
TO be brlbed in that way-both he and his
friends we'll knowing that policy alone in
1uenc"d the Convention to offer him that
nomination and not only did Mr.. SHrRz
decline the nomination of Lieut. Governor.
but the Germans in the Convention refused
TO allow the name of one of their country

State Ticket. This does not look ike a
movement conlised to few 9 ambitious
leaders" but rather the settled sentiment
of the entire German wing Of tue Republi.

county is concerned, those who have OBJ.
served closely know that as leads CHARLES
RoEsER so follows nine tenths of the Ger
man Republicans here.
Butler Ct. NOBLE, the candidate fol
Lieutenant Governor, though but little in
public life, is decidedly the ablest man on
the ticket, and hence he is given the post
Of the least importance, according to uni
vcrsal Republican usage. He was a men,
Der Of the Legislature of 1858, elected
from "alworth county, and was chairman
Of the Judiciary Committee in the Assem-
bly,, where lie took high rank as deba,er
and lawyer.
Louis Z. HARVEY, Of Rock county, is
their candidate for Secretary of State. lie
always ranked as commonplace man,
and took no prominent or active part in
public life, except such as any other ordn-
AIRY man in the State Senate would occupy.
until the notorious Land Grant, was
made BY Congress to this State for Railroad
purposes in 1856. Mr.. HARVEY, hon a
member Of the Senate, was employed by
