The Republican state Ticket.

The ticket placed in nomination by the
Republican State Convention held in
Madison on the LIST inst, is one that is
deserving of the confidence and support
of the Republican party. 1t is composed
of good men. They will, if elected,
bring to their several Offices, honesty and
efficiency. In their hands we believe
the state affairs will be ably managed,
and the official duties incumbent upon
them faithfully performed.
Many of the candidates have already
a state reputation and are well known to
our readers so that an extended notice of
them is hardly necessary.
For the the third time Gov. LUcIUs
FAIRcHILD has been nominated for the
high Office which he now holds. The
years Of service he has already given to
the state have fully tested his efficiency
and ability in the management of our
public affairs, and, If possible, increased
his popularity among the people. A
brave soldier, an excellent governor and
an affable and courteous gentleman, he
possesses pre- eminently those qualities
which win the respect, confidence
and admiration of all good men. The
Farty could not have selected better
standard bearer, nor one whom the re-
pub.icans will follow with greater enthu-
siasm.
Hon. THAD. C. POUND, of Chippewa,
is one of the leading men of this con-
gressionsl district. His large legislative
experience and frequent service in the
chair, give us the assurance that he will
fully meet the requirements of his posi-
ton as presiding officer of the senate.
From poor boy be has by industry, en-
ergy and business capacity become pos
sessed of ample means, and is now a
member of one Of the largest lumber
firms in the Northwest. He is about
SO years of age, and a pleasant and
agreeable gentleman.
ELI A. SPENCER, the nominee for
Secretary of State, has Cor a term of
years been employed in the same Office
as assistant secretary, and hence will
bring to that position thorough knowl-
edge Of its duties and responsibilities.
He is lawyer by profession, and has
been for many years a resident of Dane
county.
HENRY BRrz Of Manitowoc, our can
didate for State Treasurer, is German
of liberal education and q man well
known for his ability and integrity.
Though residing in county giving more
than thousand democratic majority, he
has three times been elected treasurer
of Manitowoc county on the Republican
ticket by largo majori;ies. He entered
service in 1862 as Captain in the 26th
Wisconsin Infantry; was promoted TO
Major in March, 1868, and severely
wounded at the battle of Gettysburg.
Wherever be is known Major Bkrz will
receive the earnest support of his Ger
man friends, without regard to political
faith.
6. S. BARLOW of Sank county the
nominee for Attorney General, has serv-
ed in the state senate, is good lawyer,
and well qualified TO deliver an opinion
as is an opinion"
GEO. F. WHEELER, of Fond du Lac,
the nominee for State Prison Commits
sioner, is a first-class business man, a
sound Republican, hard working, euer-
getic and reliable. He has served four
years in the state senate, dischargiDg his
duties in very acceptable and praise
worthy manner. If elected, be will be a
worthy successor Of our present able
commissioner Hon. HENRY CoRDIER.
We can pay him no higher compliment
A. ]. Craig. is renominated for Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction. BY
the satisfact ory manner in which he has
discharged his duties in the past. he
merits the honor conferred upon him.
Keenly alive to promote the educational
interests of the state he makes an eff
GENT officer, aud is. withal, an excellent
man.
Republicans, this is the ticket you are
called upon to elect. Let your support
be cordial and earnest The men are of
the right stamp-the platform solid and
sound. The contest viii be close one,
and the victory by no means certain.
We have our work before US, now let us
90 h and do Il well.
