As the time for holding the State nominating
Conventions approaches, the names of candi-
dates for the several offices are being named
q by their friends in different portions OF the
State For Governor, the name of Hon. VIM
DSnnison, of Columbus, is prominent among
Republicans The Republican press with con-
siderable unanimity, and in various sections of
. the State, has expressed preference for Mr..
Dennison as the standard-bearer in the coming
contest The Hon. D. Z. Cartier of Cuyaho-
ga; Hon. ]. R Giddings, of Ashtabula; Hon.
R. P Buckland, of Sandusky Hon Caleb
Smith, of Hamilton; Hon. Aaron Harlan, of
Green, and Hon V. B. Horton, of the Athens,
district, have also been named by the press in
connection with the Chief Magistracy. They
4, are all good men, worthy men, and the selec-
ton of either of the gentlemen would be salts
factory to the Republicans and rebound to the
honor Of Ohio. 1t is understood that Governor
Chase, whom the people so delight to honor,
will not be candidate.
For Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Welker, of
Wayne, the present excellent and popular Sec
ond officer Of the State is spoken of with favor
for reelection, and his name has also been men

land, of Sandusky; and Hon. r. G. Parsons, of
Cuyahoga; have also been named for nomination
for the Lieutenancy. Thoug h we know Col. Par
sons does not aspire to the Office, we cannot
foFegO the pleasure of clipping the following
complimentary paragraph from the letter of Mr..
Stephens, member of the House, published in
the PrebIe County Register;
In reference to the office of Lieutenant Gov
ernor, think the Republican party and the peo-
pie of Ohio would do honor to themselves by
calling Col Parsons of Cleveland, to preside
over the Senate. He is a man of the brightest
intellect, and has good degree of experience as
a legislator; and should the Republican party
present him as one of their standard bearers in
the next contest, they. no doubt, will hear bis
eloquent voice in every county in the State, ur-
ging the Republicans on to victory.
For Auditor of State, Mr.. Wright having de-
cliued re election, several good men have been
named E NJ. ColestOck, of COlumbiana; and S.
B. Shotwell of Harrison; were announced few

forward John Hildt, Jr. A correspondent of the
State Journal recommends Charles R. Hunt, of
Trumbull county; and the Sandusky Register
and State Journal mention with favor George
R. Morton, of Erie county, who has been asso-
ciated with the present Auditor during his term.
For State Treasurer, A. P. Stone, OF Frank
lin, who has discharged the duties of the office
with ability and faithfulness, is named for re-
nomination Cyrus Prentiss, Esq, of Portage,

sesses sterling qualifications for the important

experience and tact, is widely and favOrably
