JAMES T. LEWIS, the candidate for Secreta-
-, IF State. is also of Democratic antecedents.
10 accented the nomination solely as a Union
man. Mr. Lewis was formerly Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the State, and has in times past been
prominently supported both for the nomination
as the Democratic candidate for Governor and
for member of CONGRESS. While he has been :
leading man in his party, he has always main
tanned high character for integrity. We have
never heard, in the days Of virulent partizan
ship, any objection except of political nature
raised against him Immediately apon the
breaking out of the present war, he declared fol
vigorous measures to suppress the rebellion
and has devoted a large portion OF his time IL
holding meetings in his section of the State ano
raising volunteers for the Wisconsin regiments
To undoubted integrity, Mr.. Lewis unites the
ability to discharge the du ties of Secretary
| State with efficiency. and we shall support hin
with as much cheerfulness as any man on thu
ticket
| SAMUEL D. HASTINGS, the candidate Tor
State Treasurer, needs no commentator
Everybody comedies that ne is the best Treas
urer the State ever had, and that at this time
when financial ability and experience as well a
Integrity are indispensable in his department
the State cannot dispense with his services
He was re-nominated by reclamation, Withou
a dissenting voice.
JAMES II. HOWE, the present popular Attor
aey General, was renominated for that office
with great unanimity. The State has never ha
a more faithful officer or one better qualified TO
the position he holds and his denomination i
la gratifying evidence that his service and ablil
ty are appreciated by the people.
VIM. H. RAMSEY, the nominee TOR Ban
Comptroller Democrat from that stronghold
Of Democracy, Ozaukee county. He has repre-
lscnted his district several times in the Legisla
ture, and was member of the last Assembly
When the war bill was introduced last spring
Immediately after the assault on Fort Sumter
some of the minority attempted factous OF
position to the bill, justifying their course b
referring to the opposition Of crrtain Repub lica
members some weeks before the resolutions al
pointing commissioners to the so-called Peac
Convention in Washington. Mr.. Ramsey a
once in speech that did the highest credit t
him as a patriot, declared that "when he sa
he flag of his country assailed, he would nc
stop to enquire whether the Republicans ha
done wrong in the past If they had done wron
it would not justify him in doing, wrong" II
then proceeded to insist that but one course RI
manned for loyal men, which was promptly
cspond to the call of the President for aid
enforcing the Constitution and laws. Nj
Ramsey is lawyer by profession, good bus
ness man, with character for integrity whic
we have never heard questioned
