For the Lancaster Gazette
The Gubernatorial Question.

Union party to seek a leader. Cir.
cumstances make the next election
more important to Ohio than any
one for years past, or may be for
the future. New and most i'm.
portant issues will be presented, /,
and the voting public will require
much information, and many ex.
plantations will be necessary, in or.
der to give a full and intelligent
vote Tho deep feeling through.
out the State, at the rejection, by
the Senate, of good and qualified
soldiers, and confirmation of mon
to the best Offices who never faced
an enemy in the war, has filled
the war members Of the Union
party with determinations to de.
ndnd at least share of the candi.
dates on the new ticket. This is
but reasonable--it is right, and the
party will neither cavil with, nor
deny the right, No man in the
State will deny the right of the
soldiers to be represented fully
and uost satisfactorily on the tick !.

nom mated, will be left for proper
consideration, taking into account,
one most necessary and important
fact for success.
We shall be compelled to have a
man who can and will stump the
State, from the Lakes to the Ohio
river, and that man must be the
candidate for Governor. Now
have we among the many great
and good soldiers, a man who il
every way qualified by intellect
habit and tasto for so necessary q
prooeedure2 If we have, he is the
man of all others. If we have not,

ward tho services of soldier, this
is not the occasion nor time for
that reward but, Il civilian, known
over the entire State, for integrity,
laithfulness to his party and coun-
