Republican state Ticket.

Republican State Ticket.
An excellent spirit characterized all
the proceedings of the Republican State
Convention. Every county was repre-
sented by full delegation of calm, pru-
dent, intelligent Republicans. There
were no quarrels, and no contests except
of the most generous nature, about Ell
ther the officers or nominees of the Con-
vention. In every case the motion to
make unanimous the nomination of the
successful candidate was carried without
a dissenting voice. The whole ticket
has given perfect satisfaction.
The denomination by acclamatiOn,
of General Isaac H. Sherwood for Sec
retary of State was merited compli
ment to a meritoriu5 man. Sherwood
has splendid war record. He was
the first soldier who volunteered in
Williams county lie served four
months as a private, and after taking
part in thirty-three battles and being
one hundred and twenty-three days un-
der fire, retired from the army with the
rank of Brigadier General. Genera
Sherwood is a forcible, impressive and
a very popular stump speaker, and
his genial social qualities, and brilliant
talents, can make his future almost
what ho wishes il to be. He has gain
ed two years experience in the duties
OF his office and has made an obliglng,
dignifed, and efficient Secretary of
State.
Judge George w. McIlyaine, of Tus-
carawas county was nominated for
the Supreme Bench. Hc is a native
Of Pennsylvania, and a graduate, we
believe, of Jefferson College. He has
resided in Ohio twenty years, and is
now about fOrty-fve years of age. For
almost ten years Judge McIlvaine
has occupied a seat on the Common
Pleas Bench of his own Judicial Dis
trict. It is a generally repeated remark
of one of the ablest Judges of the pres
ent Supreme Court that "Judge Nell
vane is the best Common Pleas Judge
in Ohio. He is gentleman Of the high
est legal attainments, irreproachable in
all the relations Of private aud and pub
lie life, and personally popular to de-
gree unusual among the most fortunate
OF our fellow men. Were we to speak
of Judge McIlvaine as his neighbOrs
and intimate friends speak Of him, we
should be accused of extravaganza. 1t
is sufficient to say that if placed upon
the Supreme Bench of Ohio, as he
surely will be, he will add weight and
dignity to that high Tribunal, by a
worth of character, the legal learning
and scholarly culture such as few who
have occupied that Bench have possess
ed.
Gen. w. T. Wilson of Ravenna,
Portage county, nominated on the first
ballot for Comptroller, entered the Un'
ion service at the outbreak of the re
4 bellion, as Lieut. Colonel OF the 15tf
0 Ohio In the Fall of 1869 he became
} Colonel of the 123d Ohio, and aftel
: fighting gallantly in various engage
> ments was taken prisoner with the lar
ger part Of his command, at the battle
! Of Winchester, in July 1868. After
suffering ten months in Libby prison
Col. Wilson returned home, broker
down in health, and in 1854 becam,
editor of the Wyandotte Pioneer. As
a soldier Colonel Wilson was cool, gal
: liant and courageous, and as a write
strong intelligent and forcible. HI
!, will be popular candidate, and wheI
elected an equally popular Comptroller
Philip V. Herring, the present eff
t cient member of the Board of Pnbli,
d Works, was very properly renOmina
n ted for the third term Experience i
8 everything in an Office like this, an(
c Mr. Herzing has it. His selection is
O merited compliment to our German
! citizens, who naturally enough hav
0 preferences for their own oOuntrymen
Upon the whole the ticket is q first
# class one
