TRUMAN FIELD.

Mr.. Truman Field is the nominee of
the Republican Convention for the As
sembly-a Convention which represent
cd the people about rs much as an
infntcssimal minnow represents the
whole fish species.
Mr.. Field is well known in this county
and his nomination is an unfortunate one.
Never q partisan himself. he is the nomi
nee of an intensely partisan convention.
Put up to catch the votes ofthe County
Seat interest, lie is one of the strongest
opponents to the present location of the
County Seat We presume that Mr..
Field neither desired the nomination, nor
expects the election.

And noble the response. Stout hearts and

And fixed i'll purpose, knowing not to fail,

Brothers It's hard indeed to give thee up.
The heart is weak, and fam would say, Come

With glistning eye, and nerves us to the end
Though trying is the struggle, yet It's made
We clasp the friendly hand and say farewell.

There is better world for us in store,
And may we have glad reunion there.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

There will DOUBTLESS be some opposi-
ton to the county ticket at the head of
our columns, but as we remarked last
weak, we believe it would be difficult to
nominate better one.
G. P. BARNARD has for some years
held city and county Offices. and always
satisfactorily discharged bis duties. We
believe he dcrerves the high praise of be-
ing an honest local politician. He was
supported for the nomination by the en-
tire delegation from the supervisor district
in which he belongs, and we have no
doubt but that he will acceptably dischar
ge the duties of the Office.
G. B. Cox is too we'll known in this
county to need our endorsement. Hav-
ing served tho people acceptably at home
and abroad-having received every vote
in the Convention, his election is fore
gone conclusion.
J. D. TRUMBLE is well known in the
county as an efficient, capable business
man. His district was somewhat divided
in Convention, but Mr.. Trumble was the
choice of the majority. His views on
county policy were stated to the Conven-
ton. and as they were satisfactory to it,
the people will likely endorse him.
We believe that in the hands of these
men, our county matters would be con
Quoted with sound business judgment,
and our county finances redeemed from
their present wretched condition.
w. T. HATCH. the nomi .ce for School
Superintendent, is man of irreproach-
able character, of ample education, and
has had large experience 10 teaching
We opposed him in convention, believing
that the rival candidate would be more
efficient in the office. We hope that the
friends of Mr.. Hatch, who know him bet
ter than we do, were correct in their
judgment.
The ticket stands before the people
with no partisan claims. If elected. rs it
doubtless will be, it will be because the
candidates are deemed worthy of the po-
sitions for which they are nominated.
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1861-10-30
THE STATE TICKET.

As this is the last number of this pa
per before election, we wish to say few
more words about the State ticket. The
Union and the Republican conventions
put out ticket nearly Il same. By
the withdrawal of Messrs. HEG, BRAcK-
EN-, and MCKINLEY, each ticket has
undergone changes so that now they are
exactly similar except for the Lieut..
Governorship. Let us look at the ticket.
LOUIS p. HARVEY needs no en-
conium. Having long held offices of
trust, with honor to himself and profit to
the State, politician without a stain of
personal dishonor, the people instructive
ly turned to him, as the man to fill the
executive office in this troubulous time.
His election is past doubt.
EDWARD SALOMON was barely
beaten in the Union Convention, by w.
P. ALLEN, and W; S nominated 1t Gov
ernor by the Republican Union Conven-
ton. NJ. Solomon is % German, and
Democrat, and the family to which he
belongs has been conspicuous for patri
otism. 1t is duo to the German element,
so powerful in the State, and so prompt
in response to the calls of duty and dan
ger, that Mr.. Solomon be elected to the
office, 1t is yet quite probable that Mr.
Allen will withdraw and leave him a
clear field.
JAMES 7. LEWIS. the nominee for
Secretary of State, is endorsed by all
who know him ms fit successor to Har-
yey in that Important office. Hitherto
n Democrat, now he is an American citi-
zen, and in the office to which he will be
elected, he will jealously watch over the
interests Of the State and maintain the
honor of the Government.
SAMUEL D. HASTINGS is tie
candidate for State Treasurer. Enough
said The verdict Ct the people will be,
"Well done, good and faithful servant
90 in for another term.
JAMES H. HOWE will be the At
torncy General fo- the coming term
No one wants change here, and bet
ter officer could not be found. An able
officerand personally one of the most pop
ular men in the State, his majority will
be tremendous.
VIM. H. RAMSEY, the cand date
for Bank Comptroller, is a man well
worthy of the place. He has two oppo-
nents-the regular Democratic candidate,
and John Y. Smith. independent. We
trust Mr.. Ramsey will be elected.
A. P. HODGES, candidate for State
Prison Commissioner, will be elected
without any serious opposition.
JOSIAH L. PICKARD, has already
served one term rs Supt. of Public In
struction. He has won the proud repu-
tatiou of being the best man in the State
for that place, and the overwhelming
vote he will receive, will show that the
people are mindful of his merits, and
anxious to retain his services in the office
he 50 fifty fills.
This ticket has never had superior in
the State. 1t stands for two things:-
honesty, ability and economy in the State
Administration, and "vigorous prose-
cution of the war" Let us each help to
swell its majority to n number which
shall tell that Wisconsin is sonnd to the
core.

Rssolved-That party principles and
platforms should not now engage the at

gies should be devoted to the vigorous
prosecution Of the war, and the mainten-
ance of the Government in all its integrity
and strength.
ResOlped-That we heartily concur in
tie re.oution passed nearly unanimously
By the last Congress, which was in the
following words:--"That the present de-
lcrable civil war has been forced upon
lie country by the disun;onists of the
SsE'hern states. now in arms against the
,t,tutional Government, that in this
-a''.'a emergeticy, Congress, banishing

The rights Of established institutions in
those States, bat to defend and MAINTAIN
the supremacy of the Constitution, and
10 preserve he Union, with all the digni-
", equality and rights of the several
States unimpaired, and that as soon as
these objects are accomplished, the wal
ought to cease"
ResolUed-That we are for this Union
without conditions, one and indlvisible,
now and forever. That We are for Its
reservation at any every cost of blood
and treasure, against all its assaiIaats.-
That we IRE against any compromise that
may Le made under the guns of tho reb-
eis, aud that we pledge our most earnest
Efforts TO sustain the Administration IN
The adoption of the most vigorous meas
''ss to crush rebellion, punish treason
and MAINTAIN the Constitution, the Uni:n,
and the Laws.
Resolved-That We are for the most
oareful and economical administration OF
Hiate affairs, SO that our means may not
DC squandered, but may all be applied to
lie great work we have to do.
