THE STATE TIoKET.-We ~, At ,he head
of our columns this we,.,'s ,he nominations
that were made p. the State convention for
o'a'e oncer., Individually as we'll as a whole,
II mee.s with the full satisfaction of the repub.
hcan electors Of the State But while all ap
prove, there Is reason to fear that no consideral
hle amount of enthusiasm will he enlisted in
the campaign. The principal interest in the
ticket will probably be centered in the two
first, of the four offices to be filed Gen,
SHERWOOD, who was nominated by acclama-
ton, has the hearts of his political friends
He adds to his excellent record as n state off,
Ger, his patriotic and gallant connection with
the war, enlisting as a private, and the first
volunteer from his Willlams-and af.
ter passing through more than score and a
half OF battles, retiring with the rank and hon
ors ofa Maj. General. His ability as speak
er and upon the stump, are known to many of
our readers.
The next upon the ticket Is GEO. w MIL
vAINE, who has the nomination for Supreme
Judge. He belongs to Tuscarawas County
has had some ton years experience on
the Common Pleas bench is at his prime of
As years of age, and in private worth, legal
and scholarly attainments is deservedly dis
tinguished.
Gen. w. T. WILSON, of Portage Co.. Is the
candidate for Comptroller of the Treasury
He entered the Union army at the opening OF
the war, as Lieut. Col. of the 18th Ohio. Sub
sequently he became Colonel Of the l23d, and
distinguished himself in number of engage
ments AT the battle of Winchester he was ta-
ken prisoner, and after suffering ten months
the tnrtures OF Libby prison, he was released
broken down in health and obliged to leave
the army. Returning home he became editor
Of the Wyandou Pioneer, and supported the
Union cause forciby with the pen, as he had
bravey defended it with the sword. He i;
well qualified for an efficient discharge of tn,
duties of the Office to which he will doubtless
be elected in October.
PHILLIP V. HERRING, is a staunch German
Republican of Auglaize County, and was re
nominated on account of his experience, hon
g esty and falthfulness, for third term As mem
Der of the Board Of Public Works.
This ticket Is sufficiently popular to call on
hearty support and nothing in it should pre-
vent such support Beside the presenting o
al unexceptionable set of candidates, the con
venton exercised a sound discretion In draw
ing up the platform of resolutions. They ar
to the point and such points only are brough
!. forward as demand attention. These are deal
q with manfully, and in manner that will com
mend them to endorsement. The tariff qucs
e tlon, the most directly before the people an
). the most delicate Of all, Is happily dispose
/, Of From whatever light it is viewed, it can
1 not be blinked that the necessities of the Guur
, try demand revenue, and 10 an extent that wi
] place protection upon q revenue basis, Thi
necessity Will arrange it sufficiently high fo
q a wholesome condition of the country. TIL
u expression of sympathy for the cause c
V Germany isequaly happy, and strikes the min
e of every republican with approval and favo
T. With such ticket then, and such platform
u why should not our friends come up to III
i election with full and hearty vote? If til
J. issues for which the war was fought and mail
e tanned were worthy of our efforts then, aI
e the rights secured by that struggle not worth
z of our continued efforts, nav? Let tue resu
G of the election demonstrate
