The ticket presented 70 the Union men
of Ohio, for their support at the ensuing
State election, is an excellent one, both in
respect Of popularity before the people
and in the far more impoftslt requisite OF
fitness for Office. Before proceeding to
speak Of the nominations in detail, We, de.
sire, however, to call special attention to
the gratifying hes-tiness and unanimity
with which they were msde. The two
most important ones we're made by accla-
nation, and In only one csse was there
even the shadow of = close and determined
contest. Not only did the delegates from
different sections of the State agree per-
feclly, but the army and home delegations
were happily most hsrmonio9s. These
facts, as well as the inherent strength of
the candidates nominated. are most cheer
ing Ansuries of unprecedented success at
the polls. cs,
The nominee, by scclsmstion, for Gov
ernor, General j. Dolson Cox, of Trum-
bull county, is gentleman Of scholarly
refinement and culture, 3 statesman of
ability snd eminence, and q brave, bril-
liant snd successful soldier The with
drawsl of our present excellent chief ex-
ecutive left him the only prominent can
didste before the people and the nOmins
tion could not have been bestowed on q
better man or stronger candidate. The
army are for him with wonderful unanimi
ty, while his wide acquaintance in every
part of the State hiss only added to his
popularity at home. We present brief
sketch of his life in another column, Civ
ing some account of his services and suo-
cesses. 90
The nomination of Northern Ohio
man, an old Republican, and soldier, for
Governor, is happily balanced by the selec-
tion of a civilian and former Democrat
but now 8 radical Unionist, from Southern
Ohio, for Lieutenant Governor. Hon. A.
G. McBurney, of Warren County, our
nominee for that Office, hss.represented the
counties of Warren and Butler in the State
Senate for the last four years, and is one Of
our most prominsnt, useful and Industrious
legislators. he is sn old Democrat, but
has acted with the Union party since the
commencement of the war. .al-s-
The nomination Of the Convention for
State Treasurer, Hon. S. S. Warner, Of Lor.
ain, is also sn old Democrat now hearty |
and radical Unionist. For the last four !
yesrs he has bsen member of the lower |
house of the Legislature, and has won the
respect of his fellow members by his rare |
business abilities, his honesty, his industry, |
and his personal geniality of manner. The |
Union men of North western Ohio will |
rally for the ticket with greater gnthu-
siasm because he is nominee.
For Supreme Judges the two incumbents
are renoninsted-Jacob Brinkerhof, of |
Riehland county, for the full term, and |
John Welsh, of Athens county, for the short !
Term, ending in February, 1868. The re-
nominations of these excellent Jurisss is of !
itself high tribute to their ability and
worth, while their past record is . guaran-
tee of their future successes.
For Attorney General the Hon. W. II. |
West, of Logan county, was nominated
by scelamation. Mr.. West is one Of the |
ablest lawyers in Southern Ohio. He was
prominently talked of last year IS 8 csndi- |
date for Congress from the Fourth District, |
but was beaten in convention by Judge |
Lawrence, who was elected BY twenty-five
hundred msjority. MI West is q member |
of our present legislature and q popular
and able man. ..-.5 .s..-.T
For School Commissioner another SOL /
dier-s disabled one-was nominated,
Captain Norris, of Harrison county. Heis 8 |
graduate of Kenyon College and teacher
of abiliry and experience. .t-,
Captain Rodney Foos, Of Clinton cOun-
ty, another veteran, and clever. popular
fellow, is the nominee tor the new Office of |
Clerk of the Superior Court. We heartily |
endorse the selection. ...se
The present excellent member of the
Board of Public Works, james Moore of
COshocton county, is renominAted-s just
tribute to his faithful and successful ser
vices. ....tr .ss..a44.rsgg ;Di
The ticket, We repest is. an excellent
one LIS distribution between the different
sections of the Slate, between old POliticsl
parties, and between soldiers and citizens,
is most careful and equsble. No ticket
could be stronger before the psople. 1t
will sweep the State as it swept ths con
vention. We do not exsggerste in the
least when we claim majority Of fifty
thousand for it in October. f-.iyn
