GOvernor aud Lieut.. Governor.
The time IL near at hsnd when the Republican
party OF the State will be called upon to selec
its standard besr Is for the ensuing campaign
n judicious choice shall BE- made. then al
will be well. Ths prospecls OF success wet,
never more nattering. yet these may be obscure,
by improper and ill.sdvised nominations. w,
hope aud trust that st the 81 Of juno conven
tiou, personal preferences aud preudices viii
be made TO give way TO the highest aud bos
interests OF the party and the state, and thai
the best men from the proper localities, will b,
selected for the best places Our nominees
should be good sitong men, willing TO work
hard, and, be properly distributed bbout the
State. Each should be power where located
consideration Of the convention, for upon them
may depond TO large oxttn. the good or i'll
fortunes Of the party.
The Indications point almost uncrringly TO
the nonineiion Of the Hon WIN. Dannison,
Jr., OF Columbus, TO the Office OF Governor -
With the man and the location we shall be
abundanily satisfied as we verify le.icvea bet.
ter choice could not be made
In connection with the Office OF Lieut.. Gov
ernor, many names have b,en presented, and
ell. we presum', Of gool men and true, but
innsmucl as only one man can be nominated TO
the Office, great care should DO exercised in ma :
king tho selection so as to secure the greatest
strength 10 the ticket and at the some time
avoid ofIense. We would submit a few re-.
marks upon the Lieu,cnancy.
I, Is well known that Lpcofocoism was ram
pant in this portion the Of State, ,rampling I'M.
der foot whatever stool in itSpnthway The OPP
position, though stricken down, was not subluud,
but fought right on with zeal AMI determine.
ton which knew no sbltemcnt, uutil now, il is
prepared TO contest, with strong hopes, for the
supremacy Of the Northwest This portion
Of the State, should have whatever can be prop
erly granted, TO animate and encourage it in
the ensuings trugee. It's arms should be ncryed
by every fnir and honorable means, for the
fierce encounter Upon the result in this quar-
ter may depend the character OF our next Gen.
cral Assembly uni of tho successor to Geo. L
Pughn the Senate OF the United States.
Every thing should be done, therefore, which
reasonably aud justly can be. to ensure success,
and one of the means, is to concede to the N
w. apos,ion upon ourState ticket. But what
shall that position b, ami who shall occupy it :
Two years ago we asked for tho Lieutenant
GovernorShip but our request was not granted,
though our candilate received nittering sup.
port. At this time wd ask ths samn position
aud present tbs same canli1ite. Shall our
bes, inscrcs,s Of the party answer in the mega.
tive.
Many Of our friends think the political ante.
ccdents OF our nominees for the first and second
Offices should be different This wo regard as
of trilng moment, but to those who deem il
important, the nomination of Ju lsa Cook for
Lieut.. Governor would meet their views, should
Mr.. Dcnnison be nominated for Governor, rs
the latter wasa member OF the whg party and
the former Of the democratic.
Judge Cook is man of talent, good stump
cr and were he nominated, would do sery ce in
the front rank during tho whole cam pagn. Ha
also speaks tho Gern,n language 4 iently hav-
ing spent considerable timo in Germany to per-
feet himself in its use, anl coull an would
when aud where necessary, ad lress the electors
IN that Language. W. deem this fact worthy Of
consideration, Ila also speaks the French
language which would probibly he OF iul
service in few localities in the North. West
We feel assured that the name OF Judge Cook
would add strength to the ticket by imhusng
conn lencc, courage AMI u willingness to work;
into the minds and hearts of our reope. We
commend the subject to the favorable c,nsidera-
ton Of oar republican brethren, throughout the
State.
