THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS
From the Milwaukee Sentinel, (rep.)

the Hon G.. d. Robinson, OF Green Bay
a gentleman who, thought he dldn Shouts
der many mEskets, or wave many swords
in defence of the union, dM WELD pen in
behalf OF his country when he was assailed
by traitors. 1t is not to be denied
that MIR. Robinson, who heads the demo
cratic ticket, is one OF the most acceptable
men to the republicans that could have
been induced to accept nomination at
the hands of the convention. Hls far re
cord should serve only to make US the
more active and Jealous IN behalf or our
own tried and true men. We must not
suffer the democracy to WIN by strategy
what they can never WIN IN lar and honor~
able battle.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin Rep]
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 and Is so different from
democratic politicians generaey, that he
seems out of place In such crowd. LII the
democracy had commenced putting In
nomination such men as John Black years
ago, they would not be so Tar beyond re-
demption as they now are. We will do
John the credit to say that he did not wish
the nomination, but eccepied 1t rather
than make scene. If Wisconsin ever is
so unfortunate as to get in democratic
hands again, for the sake of the state We
certainly trust that the party will then be
controlled by just such honest men as John
Black.
From the Janesville Gazette Rep.l
Without going into details we will say
tn at this ticket is really very good one
much better than the democracy OF this
state has presented for years-and one
that will bring out the entire strength OF
the opposition. As we sad yesterday, Mr;
Robinson is THERE best card, but we did
not think the old copperheads would cen
sent to his nomination, and we were lock
ing for the selection of some other man.
But it seems the old togies were either out
voted in the convention, or they were will
ling that the younger warriors OF the trlbe
should have things pretty much there own
way. Mr. Robinson is popular man IN hl-
own party, and, it is useless to disguise II,
be has many warm friends among the re
pnbllcans who have not forgotten his manly
: aud patriotic course during the rebellion
When the war commenced he broke
, through the net work OF old party ties,
| and with senator Carpenter, judge Hlb-
bell and others, did all in his power to aid
the government in saving the country tiom
civil war He also served one term, a.
secretary of state, when l.. j. Farwell was
: governor, and no man who knows him VII
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, anc
the quicker he is undcceived the better
Tn ere is one way and only one by which
governor FaiGchiId can be re elected. and
, that is by downright hard work. We can
not elect our ticket by lul!ing our soldiers
? to sleep with the syren song that all Is wei
that Grants majority last fall was "A,
600, that there is no danger to be appre'
hended. and that the goose hangs high
From the Kenosha Telegraph Repl
The democrats have nominated there
best and strongest men, and we are glac
of it for two reasons, first, we prefer TO beat
, their strongest and best men, rather thar
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 pos-the democratic
voters being !argely in the cities and always
at elections-iI should so happen that the
democratic candidate should be elected We
should prefer 20 have for governor then
. strongest aud best man, rather thai any
of their second rate men.
From the Racine Advocat Rep.
The nomination of Charles Robinson, fol
; Governor is unquestionable the strongest
! one the democracy could have made
9 Charley is an cid line democrat who sus
: tainad his party when he believed it right,
aud did his level best" to right it wher
he believed it was wrong He maintained
his personal integrity when Barstow anC
, the balance debauched the party, anc
Q sustained the old flag Of the union when
others were giving aid and comfort to The
rebels. We believe Charles Bobin son is i;
truly honest, patriotic and able maa, one
s we should not be ashamed to meet abroad
r and recognize as the Governor OF W lsccn
sin We are sure of good Governor fol
; the next two years whichever is elected
Fairchid or Robinson.
From the whitewater Register radical
The democratic state convention wa
held in Milwaukee en- Wednesday, anC
sucee ded iu nominating a thorougly goOC
r ticket, Mr.. Charles ID. Robinson, OF Greer
Bay, was nominated for governor. 1t il
. only necessary for US 10 say that Mr. hob
irSon was not merely patriotic man during
: the war but that he is one of the bes
| men in Wisconsin. No one can doub
his ability or integrity If he does no
make strong run it will be beca1se th'
democracy are topelessy respondent anc
incapable.
I he platform We shall give next week

;, From The La Crosse Leader RADICAL
Personally, the ticket as far as we knew
is nnobjectionabe Col. Chas. ID. Robin
son, the nominee fo- governor, is forci
