Republican State Ticket.
The Convention which met at Madison last
week presented a ticket for the support of the
people with gratifying unanimity.
Gov. Randall was renominated by larger
vote, and with greater cordiality than many had
expected to witness. 1t is most emphatic en-
dorsement of the leading measures of his ad-
ministration: Whatever differences of opinion
may have existed as to some of the lesser official
acts of Gov. Randall, he is evidently regarded
by the people as an upright public officer, who
will guard the interests of the State with fear
less independence, Wisconsin has never had a
Governor who has stood up for the State, re
sisting the influence of corporations and combi-
nations more determinedly than Gov. Randall.
Carl Shurz has many earnest friends in the
State, who would have been pleased to have
seen him put in nomination for the office of Gov
ernor, but so long as there was no just cause for
dropping Gov. Randall, the nomination of Carl
Shurz could hardly have been reasonably expect
ed. No man i'll the State stands higher in the
estimation of the people than Mr.. Shurz no man
never has brighter prospect for future preferment
than he. Mr.. Schurz did not seek the nomina-
ton OF Governor, nor was he in any way per-
sonally instrumental in bringing his name be-
fore the Convention; the interest manifested in
his behalf was altogether spontaneous express
sion of his friends. Mr.. Schurz was rendered
the office of Lieut.. Governor by the unanimous
voice of the Convention, thus giving unmis-
taxable evidence of the willingness of the peo-

| b. G. Noble, the candidate for Lieut. Cover
nor, has the reputation of being talented law
yer, and one of the best public speakers in the
State. He possesses an unblemished character
and enjoys the confidence of all who are &C.
| quainted with him. He has had considerable
experience, and is well adapted to make a good
presiding officer.
l.. p Harvey, the nominee for Secretary of
State, formerly, for quite number of years,
resident of this city. He has always sus-
tanned good name, and has in past years rem
dered efficient service to the Republican cause.
He is an old resident of the State, has been
much in public life, and is we'll acquainted with
our public affairs. He is conceded to be man
of decided talent. The position of Secretary of
State is a responsible one, and the people can
entrust the Office in no safer hands than to Mr..
Harvey.
S. D. Hastings has very properly been nomi-
mated for the post of State Treasurer the nom.
ination was made by reclamation. Mr.. Hastings
has shown his fitness for the position by guard
ing the Treasury, since he has been in Office,
against those who aforetimes had made too free
with it. Jansen, his Democratic predeces-
sor, proved defaulter to the amount Of many
thousands of dollars, and because the vampires
in and about Madison could not thrust their
hands with impunity into the State Treasury
under the administration of Mr.. Hastings, the
Madison Patriot, and other papers of that ilk,
have been unceasing in their abuse of him.
Mr. Hastings is sure to be sustained by the
people by triumphant majority at the coming
election.
James H. Howe, the nominee for the Office of
Attorney General, is a resident of Green Bay
he is regarded as a prominent member of the
| Wisconsin bar. He is q nephew of Judge
Howe, whose opinions on the subject of State
rights, have attracted some attention during the
past few months. He is understood to entertain
views differing from those of Judge Howe, and
in accordance with those of the Republican party.
G. Van Steenwyk, the candidate for Bank
Comptroller, is resident of Columbia county.
He is a foreigner by birth, but has resided in
this country long enough to become fully ac-
quainted with our laws and Institutions. He is
gentleman of strict integrity. of acknowledged
business talent and has had considerable expe-
rience in public life.
Hans Heg the nominee for States Prison
Commissioner. resides in Racine county, and is
held in high respect by all who know him. He
is Norwegian by birth, but has been in this
country quite a number of years, and is familiar
with our American institutions,
j. L. Packard, the candidate for Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, has been engaged
N the cause of popular education in this
State for many years. Platteville Academy
one OF the oldest institutions of the kind in
Wisconsin, which has grown steadily into pub
lie favor, and gained wide reputation, is in
Iebted to Mr. Packard, as it's Principal, for its
past success and its present prominence. Since
the organization of the State Teachers Associ
alton, for the promotion of common school edu-
cation in this State, Mr.. Pickard has been
among the foremost in advancing its interests

standard OF qualification of teachers, and fol

Should Mr. Packard be elected to the post OF
