he will be triumphantly elected does not adj
init of a doubt
For the fourth term, Hon. SAMUEL D. HAS
TINGs is presented at the candidate for State
treasurer, by universal consent, there being
no other candidate before the Convention. The
man who can have charge of the finances OF
the State for six successive years, the depart
ment over which the people are the most sensi-
tive.-and so conduct himself as to receive the
unanimous endorsement of the convention Of
his party for reelection, needs no newspaper
endorsement. Such endorsement stands out
in bold relief, in comparison with what any ed
itor could say. That SAMUEL D. HASTINGS is
to-day the strongest man with the people, in
connection with the office of Treasurer, that
there is in the State, does not admit Of doubt,
| This reputation has not been attained without
the greatest integrity In the man. Mr.. ii.
possesses all these qualities in an eminent de-
gree. The people know it, and will retain
his valuable services i'll his present capacity.
| For Attorney General, the name Of WIN
FIELD SMITH, of Milwaukee is presented. Mr..
S. has served most acceptably in that capaci
ty for the past year, under appointment from
| the Governor. The compliment of nomin-
alton to that position by the people, is a just
endorsement of the executive action, as well
as of the character of the candidate. Mr.. SMITH
was born in Wisconsin, and has long been
considered an able lawyer and most indus
trious and excellent man. His nomination
| will give great satisfaction to his hosts Of
friends, who will rally to his support with zeal.
| The present Superintendent of Public In
| struction, was again put i'll nomination by aC-
cIamation. In this selection, also, there were
no two opinions. No other candidate was
! thought of in connection with this office. Mr.
PICKARD has devoted his life to the cause of
| Education, and feels an interest in it, seldom
equalled and never excelled. Heenters into the
work with an energy and efficiency that wins
admiration whereverhe goes. This noble cause
finds an able advocate in Mr.. PIoKARD, and the
people are fortunate indeed in having that inn
portant department of our State government
presided over with such signal ability. He
Ishouldnever be allowed to leave his position he
now holds, so longas he is willing to serve in it.
For Bank Comptroller, WILLIAM H. RAM
LEY, Of Ozaukee, was re-nominated with much
unanimity. Mr. r. has discharged the du-
ties of this position for nearly one term, and
we have never heard one word of complaint
from any source. He has been attentive to
his duties, obliging in all things, correct in
every transaction, and able in the perform
ance of every duty. No man ever came near
er up to the old Jetfersonian standard for
an office holder-of being ''honest, capable,
and faithful to the Constitution than does
Mr.. RAMSEY. He, too is an old Democrat,
who is unable to see the policy of his old par
ty in the position it takes on the question of
the war, and cuts aloof from it, ever ready to
labor where he can do his country the most
efficient service. A more loyal man, or one
10 !
tration in all its efforts for crushing out re-
bellion, and for restoring the Union entire,
cannot be found i'll the State. The people
will be glad ofan opportunity Of endorsing his
course at the polls.
For State Prison Commissioner the name of
HENRY CORDIER, of Dodge County, is present
ed. This was a most fortunate nomination.
Mr.. CORDIER, during the present term, has
been connected with the management of the
affairs Of the prison, and has become very ia
miiar with the duties of the position. He
is German by birth, of liberal education and
excellent business talents He is an able and
efficient speaker in both the German and Eng
lish languages, and very popular wherever he
is known. There is scarcely department in
the State where ability, integrity, and high
business qualifications are more needed than
in the management of the State Prison. and
we deem it extremely fortunate that man
so well qualified in all these particulars as Mr..
CoRD1ER, has been selected for this position.
In his election the people will secure the ser,
vices of an able and efficient officer. We have
no doubt of his election by large majority.
Such, fellow citizens of Wisconsin, is the
ticket presented for your suffrages at the next
election. 1t is made up Of loyal Democrats
and loyal Republicans. They are placed up
on the platform Of their country-a platform
SO broad that all loyal men can stand upon it. |
We appeal to all loyal and patriotic voters to
rally to the support of this ticker, and there
by show their devotion to their country and |
their country's good
If the experience of the past eight years has not
to the inhabitants of this state the
folly of re electing a republican admins raj ion
then there is no fact and argument beneath the
skies which can affect them. All have seen the
mischief which republicanism has accomplished
ii is palpabie as the light ct the at noon
Ii is felt in office, shop and field No time, ei~
fort. no age OF future prosperity, can blot put the
ugly record and restore the cruntry to that cundi
ton of fraternity and prosperity which, under the
would have perpetualty endured
NewS.
This is the old game of bluff. We are will
ing to put the election this fall upon ''the ex-
perience of the past eight years" Or Of that
part of the past eight years that the State has
been under Republican rule Let the editor
of the Neaos go back to the eight years Of
Democratic rule previous tothe ousting of that
rule that sat like nightmare on the energies
