The Union State THE
Ticket.

We attended tho convention ut Columbus
last week 1t was the largest and most en-
thusiastic ever held in Ohio. Every coun
ty in the State--Our gallant soldiers in the
Army of the Cumberland at Murfreesboro
aud Triune-and the convalesccnt sons OF
Ohio at Camp Dennison-were ably repre-.
sented in the convention, which in its de.
liberations buried deeply all party save the
Party of the Country and the Union. Th G
result of these deliberations was the en-
thusiastic adoption of platform on which
all loyal people can stand shoulder to shonld
er, and the nomination of the very best
State ticket ever presented for the suffrages
Of the voters Of Ohio.
JOHN BROUGn, of Cuyahoga county
was nominated for Governor on the frs
ballot. Mr. Brough was Democrat up t.
the breaking out of the Rebellion, and il
the ablest man that party'ever had in Ohio
In ls40 and "A he was pittsd by tho Dem
ocrats Of Ohio against Tom. Corwin, and il
the only stumper they ever had who coulc
match that brilliant man on tho hustings
A speech Of Mr.. Broush's may ba fouad !,

Col. CHARLES ANDERSON, the nomine,
for Lieutenant Governor, is native o
Kentucky, son of Revolutionary hero, ant
brother of Major Robt. Anderson, of For
Sumter celebrity. Col. Anderson emigra
ted to Texas some years ago. When tn,
Rebellion broke out he msde himself con
spicuous as Union man, and in nobl,
speech dc6ed the Rebels. He was arrested
and imprisoned, but escaped and made hi
way alone through Mexico, and fnall!
reached his friends in Ohio. Brave mat
and pure patriot as he is, he recruited tn,
ODD Ohio Regiment, and distinguished him
self at the head of that reginent in tn,
bloody and decisive battle Of Stone River
being twice wounded. As popular speak
or on the stump, Col. Anderson has few
equals.
Col JAMES ii. GOODMAN, of Marion, il
admirably qualified for the Office of Audi
tor Of State. He is fine lawyer and gooG
business man. Col. Goldman entered the
ranks as private to crush the Rebellion
was chosen a Captain, then promoted to
Major, aud on the death of the lamoned
Col. Lorin Andrews, became Colonel Of the
4sh Ohio Regiment, which he commanded
in the first terrible assault ON Frcdericks
burg, where he was severely wounded, and
reported killed. A better, bravcr, and more
deserving ufan carhnot be found.
Hon. q. VoLNEY DORSEY, the presen,
State Treasurer, was re, nominated by ac
cama,ion-a compliment well deserved. -
Mr.. Dorsey has been faithful officer.
HocKINa II, HUNTER, of Fairfield, is
ole Of the best lawyers in the Union. He
will be credit to our Supreme Bench.
Capt. JOHN NJ. BARRERE, of Highland,
Is ono Of the iron.iramed and lion, hearted
men ct the State. Whsensd by the frost &
Of SIXTY winters, he rallied his patriotic
neighbors to the field to aid in crushing Re
bollion, was chosen their Captain, Joined
the Goth Ohio under Col Trimble, and a,
ilarpcr's Ferry lost his left arm in battling
the enemy. So far from seeking Office, the
gallant Captain camo up TO the Mass Con
vention to awaken his ooun,rymen to the
responsibilities Of tho present crisis, and
while doing so in powerful speech to the
masses was notified Of his nomination, the
first intination he had OF his naslo being
before tho convention
This ticket should have Ono Hundred
thousand majority in Ohio, and We believe
it will have. This is all We have time and
space to say about it this week.
