The Coming state Convention
The State Union Convention, for the
purpose of putting in nomination candi-
dstes for the State offices TO be filled at the
October e~lectioa, will meet st Columbus on
Wednesday next, May 21st and the county
conventions, for the purpose OF electing
delegates thereto, have mainly been held.
In most if not all Of these county conven-
tons, the nomination of Governor BrOugh
was made 6 distinct issue in the election OF
delegates, and we are happy 70 know that
the action already taken on thst subject
guarantees, almost beyond 8 doubt, the re-
nomination of our present excellent k1ecu.
tive.
But there are other nominations to be
made by the convention, only second IN
Importance to that of Governor, and in
regard to which, at least in most cases, del
egatss have not committed themselves.
These offices are by far too important TO be
filed at hsphszard, according to the mo-
mentary within or hurried, of hsnddeclsion
of q crowded convention, and every dele
gate should carefully consider the respect
i've merits of each candidate Tor the sew
eral offices, and be prepared to. make an
intelligent and matured choice between
them.
Two judges of the Supreme Court are to
be nominated; one for the full term, and
the other for the two remaining years Of
the term of Judge Ranney, who resigned
in the spring, and whose place wss filled
by the appointment Of Judge Welsh, Of
Athens county. We t-ust that Judge
Brinksrhof, whose term expires in Febru-
airy next, will be nominated for the full
term. He has now sat upon the supreme
bench for ten years, and has added to his
previous learning and talents as 8 jurist,
the ripe experience which his position has
given him. He has been an upright and
able Judge. We have never heard 3 syIla-
bic of complaint against him, either in his
private or official relations. If re-nOmina-
ted, as he undoubtedly will be, he will
greatly add to the strength OF the ticket.
For the short term, we notice that the
names of Judge Welsh and General Cox
are presented. We p esume, however,
that the latter gentleman is not 8 eRndi-
date.
For Lieutenant Governor we have heard
the names of the present excellent incum-
bent Charles Anderson, of Montgomery,
and of the equally patriotic and deserving
G. Volney Dorsey, Of Miami, now Tres-
surer of State, suggested.
For Treasurer of State, the Hon. 8. S.
Warner, of LOrain, is strongly urged Mr..
Warner was elected to the lower house Of
the State Legislature, from Lorain County,
in 1851, snd reelected in 1868. he is an
excellent business man and has been a
popular and useful Legislator. An old
Democrat, he has given his warmest sup
port, throughout the war, to the party OF
the Union, and is now, we believe in
hearty unison with the loyal anti-slsvery
men of the state. His nomination would
add to the popularity of the ticket in
Northern Ohio.
For Attorney General, the present in
cumbent, Hon. G. n. olds, is generally
talked of.
Emerson z. White Esq the present
excellent and hard working School Com
missioner, should be and doubtless iOiU be
renomins ted.
