We have not heard or read any thing
that would indicate any opposition to
the denomination Of Treasurer Baetz, Sc
cretary of State Breese, Attorney Gener-
al Barlow, State Prison Commissioner
" Wheeer, and State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Fallows. Never In
the history ofour state have these Offices
been better filled. We think we can
truthfuily say that they have given entire
satisfaction TO all, and we should regard
ourselves as particularly fortunate that
they were selected for their respective
positions. No state in the Union has
better state officers than Wisconsin has
at present, aad we think the people will
be glad to again have the opportunity
to honor them as they we'll deserve We
suppose the Democrats will go through
the formality of nominating ticket, but
with such men as we will have, we think
there Is no doubt but we can sweep on to
victory, and lay the poor tender thing
called Democracy, writhing in the dust,
even though they should happen to follow
the tootsps of sister states, and take
new departure. With whatever ticket
they select the Republicans of this state
Will he lp and aid them take their not
new but annual departure up Salt
River"
