The Democratic State Ticket.


The Democratic State Ticket. ,rf
The Democratic State Convention per
formed its duties ably and faithfully in Sc
lecting for the sufragcs Of the people the
gentlemen comprising the above ticket, and
in hosting it at our masthead we do so
with every hope that a majority Of the citi-
zons Of the State will approve of the wisdom
manifested by the Convention by giving it
warm and hearty support at the coming
election. The candidates are personally re-
fcrrc7l TO thus in the Netcs:
The harmonious and enthusiastic action
of the democratic state convention yester-
day in nominating Hon. JOHN j. TALL
MADGE for the Office Of governor was a
grateful surprise to the people Of Milwau-
ioe, without distinction of party, and can
but meet with hearty response in all quar-
tiers Of the state.
Mr.. TAILMADGE is not an active part
san, and has never been recognized as such.
by occupation and tastes, he is identified
with the business interests Of the state, and
it was first as an active business man aud
as a representative Of business men tlatlhe
became prominent before the people. Two
years ago he was chosen mayor of 1Iilwau-
kee on peoples ticket. and the ensuing
year was re- elected by the vote of both 20
litical parties combined. From the frstday
Of his nomination for public Office until to-
day no press in Milwaukee or in the state
has ever published aword derogatoryto his
official or political course.
''As d friend of the soldier his record Is
surpassed BY that Of no otherin Wisconsin.
1t was largely through his efforts that the
funds were secured forcrecting the Wiseon-
sin Soldiers Home, since recognized and
adopted by the nation. @ ~.
AS TO his political views, we can assure
our friends at home and abroad that lie be-
.lievcs the federal constitution to be the su-
preme law for the whole United States, and
that if elected to the Office Of governor of
Wisconsin, he will recognize the constitu-
lion and laws as his master, and the best
interests ofthe PEOPLE as his constant care
The nomination of Capt GILBERT S.
Park. Of Stevens Point for the Office of
lieutenant governor was an extremely for
tun0te selection As soldier and a citizen

him. lie was among the first to enlist in
the war for the Union ana among the last
TO return from the field Of victory. lie
IS counted one of the ablcst lawyers in the
northwestern counties and is an elo1nent
speaker. As tie democratic candidate for
congress against WAsHBURNE a year ago,
II district then considered hopolessly re-
publican, he not only received the full dem
ocratic vote of his district but carried q
heavy republican vote inthe counties where
he is personally known to the people. r
EMIL RGrHE, the nominee for secretary
OF state, is thoroughly known to the people
OF Wisconsin, as gentleman of brilliant
abilities. Heis an eloquent orator, fotci-
bic writer, and a true and conspicuous rep
Tesentative of the German element in our
Population His name is an ornamentto
any ticket, and his election of itself would
give high character to our state admins
tration, both at home and abroad.
'PETER RUpP, the candidate for treasu
rer, is an old and popular resident of Fond
'du Lac, and his nomination Will give host
of strength to the ticket throughout the
state, and especially in, that portion of the
state where he resides. His integrity has
never been questioned, and that he would

officer no ono IS likely to dispute. SO.

Three better nominations than those of
