THE TICKET.

The State ticket placed in nomina.
ton last week, by the Republican
State Convention (Which will be found
at the head of our columns) is good
one throughout, aud has merits that
will make it acceptable to the party At
large. The nomination Of G. K. Dav.
is was something Of a surprise to this
section and it was soon found to be
very agreeable one to great many Re-
publicaus. It was thought that his
youth and brief residence in the State
and more especially the great effort
made in adverse interests would more
than balance his recognized personal
fitness for the Office. His ability, per-
son.l and professional integrity, and
especial qualifications for the position
were unquestionable, but it vas
thought that he haden't the inside
track aud probably could not get it.
Hence the surprise. 1t was generally
expeetsd that the extraordinary efforts
Of Mr.. Washburn and Of his county
would result in his nomination. There
was not the shadow Of an objection to
candidate from Minneapolis, but it
was felt that Mr.. Washburn's uncom.
promising devotion to personal inter-
ests-and Minneapolis interests which
are about the same thing-And won
derful capacity for taking care Of
those interests would make him sec.
.ioual to degree that would not be
for the good Of the whole state.
Mr.. Davis is thirty-six years old, .
graduate Of Michigan University, has
practiced law, in St. Paul about seven
years aud his professional standing is
second to none IN the State. His
eminent qualifications combined with
entire immunity frou previous politi-
cal entsnglemeuts make him a strong
candidate.
A. Bsrto, Of Stearns county, the
candidate for Lieut.. Governor is a
worthy MIN and stauuch republican.
His political experience has been in
the Legislature where his course CON
manlcd the respect Of the members
and the approval and confidence Of his
constituents.
Col. S. z. Jennison Of Goodhue was
rcnominated for Secretary Of State.
The Col. has been one of the wheel
horses Of the Republican party for a
long tine, is known to everybody and
was renominatcd because he was the
right man in the right place.
Mons. Grinager, Of F,eeboru county
is a Scandinavian and was warmly
urged for the nomination by that
branch Of the party.
The other candidate for the Office
Mr.. L. W. Dixie had strong claims and
strong backing. He is the present in'
cumbent Of the Office, BY appointment
of Gov. Austin after Seegar's resigna'
ton, and has filed the Office satisfac.
torly, but party emergency gave
Grinager strength enough to overcome
his claims. The vote 2l3 to 95 was
very aattering to the nominee and W
have no doubt the confidence and trust
will be found to have been worthilJ
placed.
Mr.. Geo. P. Wilson, the candidate
for Attorney General: is member oi
the Winona bar, and is highly spoken
of.
