Republican State Ticket.

For Governor the names of the present
incumbent, Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Gen.
David Atwood, of the State Journal, Hon.
Anthony Van Wyck, Of Kenosha, Hon.
VIM. E. Smith, present State Treasurer,
and Hon A. M. Thomson, of the James
vile Gazette, have been mentioned. They
are a prime lot from which to select ;
either of them would be good Governor,
and very good reasons may be and have
been advanced in favor Of each. We have
GO doubt either would receive full party
ote in this county. Personally we would
like to see the mantle fall upon the veteran
editor of Wisconsin-Gen. DAVID AT,
WOOD. He has been in public life long
time; helped to organize the Republican
party, and ever since has been one of its
hardest working, most faithful members.
Every way abundantly qualified, pure in
his private life, honored and loved by all
who know him, he would be very strong
man to place at the head of our State tick
ct. The party owe him recognition of
his acknowledged services. If Governor
Fairchild is before the coming Convention
as candidate he will be strong one,
and, If re-nominated, would lead the Re-
publican hosts to certain victory. His
immense popularity with the people has
in no degree abated. If he shall not be
candidate, and Gen. Atwood cannot be
nominated, then the Convention should,
as one man, cast its vote for Hon. An
thony Van Wyck, than whom no man in
the State is better qualified. Of high
sense of honor, rare scholarly attainments,
a dignifed and polished address, be would
be in the Gubernational chair what we all
admit that Matt Carpenter is in the Sen
ate-an honor to the Badger States He
has only to wait; and, being in the prime
of life, he can afford to do so.
For Lieutenant Governor the name,
among others, of Hon. I. @. Pound, of the
9th District has been mentioned. We
trust he will not be nominated. He has
been in the Legislature two (?) terms, and
was once defeated for Speaker. He cuts a
heavy swell on a very small capital of
brains. His personal dignity consists in a
gold-headed cane and huge watch chain.
OF pomposity, however, he has no lack.
If his neighbors think enough Of him to
send him to the Legislature they have a
right to do so but for Lieutenant Cover
nor, liable to be called to the Office of Gov
ernor Of great State, be would be poor
excuse
The man who should be our next Lieu
tenant Governor is Hon. A. N. Thomson,
Speaker of the last two Assemblies, in
which position his rare qualities for pre-
siding officer were developed, and acknowl-
edged by all. 1t would not be risking
much to say that he is the best man for
Lieutenant Governor in the State, nor any
thing to say, positively, that he is one OF
the best. lie can afford to take the Office,
and we think would. If candidate for
that position he will be very likely to re-
ceive the nomination.
For State Treasurer, Ii. Breese, of Co.
lumbia county, has the inside track" "
and will most likely win. The name Of
Gordon Fl. Gle, Esq, of Waushara coun-
ty, has been suggested in connection with
this Office. He has most excellent bust
ness qualifications, is man of great per.
sonal popularity, and would make an eff
cient Treasurer. Should he be nominated
he would add strength to the ticket in his
section and in the entire Fifth Congress-
ional District, which, however, has an as
pirant
For attorney General in the person of
Hon. E. L. Browne, of Waupaca county.
We have heretofore expressed our opinion
of this gentleman. 1t would be crafty ing
ITO US to see him succeed. Moreover, he
would be strong man. The Fifth Dis
: trict is entitled to a place on the ticket !;
and in view of the formidable opponent
which Mr.. Gle will have for Treasurer,
we advise his friends to unite on Mr.
Browne for Attorney. He is widely
known, and his nomination would, we be-
lieve, be well received generally. p.
For Secretary Of State it is understood
that the upright citizen, faithful public
officer and gallant soldier, Gen. Thomas S.
Allen, is candidate for denomination.
If so, it is useless to mention any one
else. He is emphatically the right man
in the right place." and there can be no
valid objection to continuing him in Office
another term. &a
