THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS
From the Milwaukee sentinel. lrep.t

the Hon G. d. Robinson OF Green Bay
gentleman who, thought he didn shoul>
der many mGskets, or wave many swords
in defence of the union, did WELD pen in
behalf of his country when he was assailei
by traitors 1t is not to be denied
that Mr.. Robinson who heads the demo
cratic ticket, is ore of the most acceptable
men to the republicans that could have
been induced to accept nomination at
the hands of the convention. His fair re
cord should serve only to make us the
more active aud jealous in behalf OF our
own tried and true men. We must not
suffer the democracy to win by strategy

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin [Repl
The democracy have nominated our
townsman, John Black, for the state tres
urey How they could do so such thing
we cannot imagine for John is one of those
men whom everybody has the highest
confidence in. aud is so different from
democratic politicians generaey, that be
seems out of place in such a crowd. If the
democracy had commenced putting In
nomination such men as John Black years
ago, they would not be SO far beyond re-
dempiion as they now are. We will do
John the credit to say that he did not wish
the nomination, but excepted it rather
than make a scene If Wisconsin ever is
SO unfortunate as to get In democratic
hands again, for she sake of the state we
certainly trust that the party will then be
controlled by just such honest men as John
Black.
From the Jancsyillc Gazette Rep.J
Without going into details we will say
that this ticket is really a very good one
much better than the democracy OF this
state has presented for ycars-and one
that will bring ont the entire strength oi
the opposition. As we said yesterday, Mr..
Robinson is theire best card, but we did
not think the old copperheadS would ccn>
sent to his nomination., and we were look
ing for the selection OF some other man
But it see ms the old togies were either out
voted in the cOneCntI0n, or they were Will
ling that the younger warriors OF the tri'e
should have things pretty much there own
way Mr K )biDson is a Popular man IN his
own party, aud, it is useless to disguise 1t,
be has many warm friends among the re-
publicans who have not forgotten his manly
and patriotic course daring the rebellion.
When the war commenced he broke
through the uet work OF old party ties,
and with senator Carpenter, judge Hub
bell and others, did all in his power to aid
the government IL saving the country ftom
civil war. He also served one term, rs
secretary of state. when l. j. FaTwsl was
governor, and no man who Knows him Will
question his ability or fitness for the posi-
ton to which he is now nominated.
Now if anybody thinks that this ticket
is easily beaten, he is deceiving himself, and
the quicker he is unGccelved the better.
There is one way and only one by which
governor FaiIchlld can be re elected, and
that is by downright hard work. We can
not elect our ticket by lul!ng our soldiers
to sleep with the syren song that all Is well
that Grant majority last fall was "A,
600, that there is no danger 10 be appre-
hended, and that the goose hangs high.
From the Kenosha Telegraph [Rep.]
The democrats have nominated there
best and strongest men, and we are glad
of it for two reasons, tir4t, We prefer 10 beat
their st t.ongest and best men, rather than
any of there half way men second, ii
through storm and food on election day.
the republican voters of the country should
be kept from the polls-the democratic
voters being argey in the cities and always
at eections--iy should so happen that the
democratic candidate should be elected we
should prefer % have tor governor their
strongest and best man, rather than any
Of their second rate men.
From the Racine Advocat, Rep
The nomination of Charles Robinson for
Governor is unquest onable the strongest
one the democracy could have made
Charley is an cid line democrat who sus
tained his party when he believed it right,
aud did his level best to right it when
he believed it was wrong. he maintained
his personal integrity when Barstow and
the balance debauchedi the party, and
sustained the Old flag Of the union when
others were giving aid and comfort to the
rebels We believe Charles Robinson is a
truly honest, patriotic and able man, one
we should not lie ashamed to meet abroad
and recognize as the Governor of W isccn
sin We are sure of good Governor for
the next two years whichever is elected,
Faircbi!d or Robinson.
From the whitewater Register radical
The democratic state convention was
held in Milwaukee On Wednesday, and
succeeded III dominating thorougly good
ticket, Mr.. Charles ID. Robinson, of Green
Bay, was nominated for governor. 1t is
cnly necessary ter Us TO say that hlr. Rob-
inson was not merely patriotic man during
the war but that he is one of the best
men in Wisconsin. No one can doubt
his ability or integrity. IF he does not
make strong run it will be beca1se the
democracy are topelessly despondent and
incapable.
The platform We shall give next week
For a democratic convention ii is remark
able good document, anu will be likely to
tell somewhat in the campaign.
From The La Crosse Leader radcal1
