SECRETARY OF STATE Gen. /. X. Sher-
wood, Of Williams County, has been named
for Secretary of State in several localities.
The General is well known over the State as
a gentleman of fine zblIi,iss, ard every way
worthy of the position he is spoken Of to
tlll. He was among the first to enter the
field as a soldier, when his country reeded
his services, and left it when they were no
longer required. He entered the service as
private, in April, 1861, and was promoted
from Lieut.. ColOnelcy in the l1lth Ohio
Infantry TO Brevet Brig. General for gallant
service at the battle of Franklin. When in
the field he made record for himself of
which any soldier might feel proud. At the
close of the war he became one of the pro-
prietors of the Toledo Daily Commercial,
which, under his management, grew to in
fiuence and prosperity. During the last two
campaigns he stumped the State and did
good work for his party. He is a resident
OF the northwest, portion of the State

casions,very general recognized and WHICH
portion of the State, we are informed, will
go solid for him. We hope the Generals
claims will be duly considered at the Con-

SECRETARY OF STATE.--Haying noticed in
your paper few days since the name Of Col.
Raymond Burr mentioned as a candidate for
the Office of Secretary Of State, will you
please to permit US TO say that no name has
been mentioned that the citizens of Ohio
will more heartily support for that position.
The C5lonel has served in the Legislature
with great ability he also served through
the war in the Quartermasters department,
and came out of it with a perfectly cean
record. Colonel Burr, in all our campaigns
for the past fifteen or twenty years, has
taken the stump, and has done excellent
service in adding to our party strength,
which has given it the name which time
itself cannot obliterate.-Cor. State Journal
CLERK OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-Captain
Rodney Foos, the present accomplished Clerk
of the Supreme Court of Ohio, is candidate
for denomination by the Republican State
Convention. Captain Foos has the hearty
support of the bench and bar, having won
their respect and confidence by his deport-
ment and thorough efficiency, and fidelity
as an officer. Capt. Foos was crippled by
wound in the service of his country.-Ddy-
