The Republican Candidates.

Candidates from personal knowledge for,
with the exception of Gov Falrchild and
Mr. Wheeler we have never seen any of
them. Wehave met Mr. Wheeler once only,
and then only few moments We have
met Gov Fairchild two or three times and
formed very favorable opinion of him.
Aside from his declining to be again a
candidate for nomination for Governor
and afterwards disregarding his declina-
ton, we should have been satisfied with
his nomination. We say declining to be
candidate and afterwards disregaring
his declination, for such we understand
his action tos have been. Gov. Fairchild
has endeared himself to the people of the
Estate, and has deservedly many warm
friends who desired to honor him with
third nomination and have been success
full in doing SO. And, claiming to be one
Of his friends, we shall try not to be dis
satisfied with his nomination, and to give
him "a vigorous support.
Not having personal knowledge of the
candidates sufficient to speak Of them, we
shall give to our readers what the Milwau-
kee Sentinel says of them.
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATEs-We ex-
pect toAsee the nominations of the Repub-
lican State Convention greeted through
out the state with feeling of almost I'm,
Il mixed satisfaction. For after it is admit
ted that very able and deserving aspirants
were defeated, and that considerations of
great weight were in q measure ignored,
the fact remains that thoroughly good men
acere nominated for each and all Of the of.
k1tces on the ticket. And though the pro
cecdlngs OF the convention were marked
) by degree of excitement that has never
, perhaps, been equaled in the history of
the state, there is nothing remaining that
can be called grievance.
Gov Fairchild has been so uneXcep-
tionable Chief Magistrate, has guarded
5 every interest In the state with such indie
a fatlgable ylgllence, has been so courteous
In his intercourse with citizens, and so
: industrious and CONSCIENTIOUS in the dis
i charge Of every duty, that the high COM
4 pliment of nomination for 10 third term
was entirely deserved. AS he has been
. one Of the most able officers that have ev
Ell occupied that position, so he is the
t most popular, and no one can doubt that
q he will be elected by large majority.
For the office of Lieutenant Governor
the Convention made a most, excellent Sc
lection in the person of Hon. Thad c.
Pound, of Chippewa. Young, intelligent,
J., vigorous and enterprising, he is a repre-
nfat Of r ba Iayc
/ section of the state that presented. him
= He has served several terms in the Assem-
n bly,, and, during his occupancy of the
chair last winter as Speaker pro tenn,
: made fine reputation as a prompt and
# ldignifed presiding officer
e Of Hon. E. A. Spencer, the candidate
tor Secretary OF State, it is not too much
to say that he is one of the ablest men in
. our state, and decidedly the best qualified
e for that position. He has been Assistant
4 Secretary for the past six years, and all
who have had business with that office
will bear witness to the ability and integ-
u rity with which he has discharged his
e duties
s Henry B@tz of Manitowoc, the candi-
= date for State Treasurer, issa popular and
" intelligent German. He served with
|great distinction in the war as Major OF
the gallant Twenty-siXth, and has been
= thrice elected Treasurer Of his county in
the face of q Democratic majority He
possesses in an seminent degree the-quali
!. 1ications of integrity and capacity
Hon S. S. Barlow, OF Saul1,the candi
= date for ATTORNEY General, is an old resi-
a dent of the State, is a 1gentleman Of Su
Iperior ability and perfect honesty, and is
;, further qualified for the duties of the of
fee by large experience in public affairs
l The nomination Of, Hon George F
vt Wheeler, Of Fond Gu Lac, for State Pris
n on Commissioner, was in all respects al
!, excellent one. Few men in the state, il
any, have more claims upon the party
: and more popularity with the people
re and no one will be found to question his
! peculiar fitness for the position.
Hon. A. J. Craig, the present Superin
tendent Of Public Instruction,was renom
n mated. He is practical educator, ar
e untiring worker, and has been the means
r. OF introducing very important reforms il
our system of public schools 1T is, We
believe, the general feeling among teach
ers and the people generally, that the
,r state could not afford to dispense with his
= services. a1A
. AS whole the ticket is one of the best
that have ever been presented to the PEG
plerot this state, and one for. the success:
D OF. which it.Wllbe3a pleasure as we'll a
&c a duty for every Republican to put fortl
more than usual exertions.
