Our statesand County Ticket,

1t is generally understood by the leaders of
both parties, that the main efforts of the Demo-
carts in he present campaign, will be directed
to secure majority in the General Assembly
of the State. Securing this result, they would
then elect United States Senator in the place
Of JOHN SHERMAN aud their action in the Presi-
Dental campaign next year would receive new
impulse. The "New Departure" policy has
been rdbpted, not from. the conviction of its
Justice, but simply as a political rise by which
to SECURE if possible Republican votes. BY a.
d ping such line of action they place themselves
in the questi,pab position, of acting hypocritic-
ally in the past or of attempting to inveigle and
deceive the people at the present time.
In this, as we'll as in their past policy regard
ing the war, they will be previously dsarpoint-
ed. The intelligent voters Of Ohio fully under
stand the difference between mere party policy
and honesty of purpose, and the popular ma
joFity of the Republican party in October next
will be found to be but little ifany short Of 2o,-
eco.
In the attainment of such results it will be
found that Wood county and this Senatorial
District will give more than an average propor-
tion of that majority. Our Legislative and
Senatorial candidates are gentlemen who pos
sess the entire confidence of the people. Their
high character, their unsulied political record
their answering fidelity to the cause Of freedom,
combined with that personal industry, and firm
ness of purpose, which admits Of no ordinary
failure, commands, and will secure from :he
people triumphant majority at the polls.
JOHN NORIs, Esq, is well known either person
ally or by reputation to the majority of citizens
in this coun ty, as a working man and success
full farmer, OF thorough business habits he has al
ways possessed the confidence Of his fellow citi-
xens, of which the large vote he received wher
nominated is but partial illustration. As al
earnest Republican who.has always been inten
sey devoted to the isterest of this Republic in it
most trying ordeals of political and ofsan uin-
ary conflict, JOIN NORRIS will act as our Repre-
sentative in the State Legislature, with credit t
himself and with honor to his constituents.
OUR CANDIDATES FOR SENATORS,
d. W. II. Howard, Esq, Of Fulton county
one Of our Senatorial candidates, is also a maj
of the people. As former resident OF thii
county, MIR. HOWARD is well known to our citi
gems generally, as an honest honor able and high
ly competent business man.
The following reference to him in communi
cation from Fulton county to the COmmerciat o
yesterday, will be found to reflect his persona
characteristics in a faithful manner:
"Alr. How RID is a man of more than ordna r.
natural ability. of great energy and OF the strict
est integrity temperate man in the trues
sense of the term; and man with an unsulliel
private character. II e spent all his time an
money in a of his country during the dar
and trying hours of the late rebellion, as man
soldiers, widows and orphans can testify, VIII
yet live to share his hosptaities. He is tn rough
" public spirited man. and has at no TIM
since he has resided IN this county spared hi
time and means in the furtherance Of public i'm
provements. lie can at all times poll ful
party vote"
We have not the pleasure Of personal ac
duantance with our other Senatorial nomine
HIP. GAGE, Esq OF Findlay; We therefore cop
with very much pleasure, the following expires
sive testimony from the JefeSsOnidn, of hi
sterling character as man, aud as a citizen.
"The proceedings of the Convention held at TC
Iedo, will be cheering to every friend OF ou
ticket in the county. The selection OF IL, J
GAGE will meet a hearty concurrence from thos
who have known him for many years as an ac
tive, public spirited citizen and sound Reput
lican. The poor maus friend, hater of frau
aad corruption, despiser of Rings and Il
sJuggery' which works them, he stands pr
eminently man of the people. lie has alway
remembered with pride that he was mechanic
and that class of our people all remember hi
as their friend. Would that we had more
such men in public life."
