The Ticket.

The full ticket nominated at Topeka, last
week, will be found at the head of this column.
No Republican in the State can say that every
man on it his first choice; but it is good
ticket, and will be elected.
Thomas A. Osborn has filed the Office of Gov
ernOr for the past two years, and has filed it
ably, honestly, and faithfully. Not an act of
corruption OF dishonesty can be charged against
him in the discharge of his official duty. His
very first act was in the interest of the people of
the Neutral Lands his last act has been in the
interest of the people of the frontier and his
every intermediate act has been in the interest
of the people The appointment of Judge Gro
Zier as Senator denounced as a crime; but
at this late day comes Senator Ingalls,, who says
that TO CrOzier belongs the credit of placing in
proper shape the great Usage land question,
which has just been decided in the interest of
the people. They harp upon corrupt acts of Os-
born years ago. The same charges were made
before the last election, yet the same men voted
for him, knowing of them as well then now.
Since no has lived them down, and shown that
he could be an honest and faithful officer, why
this sudden outbreak against his reelection
Simply because they cannot use him to further
their own plans.
NJ. J. Salter, of Neosho, has for years beep
President of the Usage Settlers Association-an
honest but turbulent lot of pioneers. If he could
govern them, be ought to govern the State Sem
ate. He is man little known, because he has
never meddled in politics. The settlers were
for Osborn and the nomination of Salter for
Lieutenant-Governor is a winning trump over
Col Carpenters bolt.
Thomas H. Cavanaugh, for Secretary of State
has served as a Clerk in the Legislature, in
which position he proved himself ready and COM
petent. MT. Emmert was supposed to have the
inside track for the place, but the nomination of
Salter changed the fortunes of the day.
For Treasurer of State, we have Samuel Lap
pin, of Nemaha. 1t is with peculiar pleasure
that we hail his name on the ticket. One of
the Oldest citizens of Kansas, honest, reliable,
and responsible, the public funds will he safe in
his hands, and will not be misused. Salters
nomination also brought about this nomination,
as Mr.. Francis was from the same section of the
state 1t is well that it happened so, as Francis
has since shown that he cares more for Office
lnan ior principle, by accepting position on the
@'Rsformr ticket
For Auditor of State ID. W. Wilder went in
unanimously To say anything in his favor,
would be superfuOns.
For Attorney General, A. NJ +. Raudolpb. of
COffey County, was nominated He is said to he
a man of learning and an able lawyer The fact
that Potter, one of the leading Performers" last
Winter voted for Mr.. Randolph for United States
Senator, from first to last is pretty strong en- |
dorsement from that side of the question.
For Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, |
D. NJ Valentine is re-nomnated. His industry
and ability on the bench during the past six |
! ears, secured his nomination over an able op-
ponent.
For State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, the Convention gave us Gen. John Fraser.
Of Douglas County. We heard Que of the cand-
dates for the same position say that Fraser was
a candidate, but he guessed he didn't care any
thing about it, as he was not working for it. For
this reason, it is well that he was nominated.
tie did not get out, and beg bore and bum for
'Ae place, but let the Office seek the man. Gen.
Fraser is man of learning, and devoted to the
oa'ise o. education. He was for some years con-
hee'ed with the State University.
Such Is the ticket that will be elected in No
Vemoer 1t IS far superior to the opposition tick
It, ana the faith of Kansas is still in the Repub
ican party. The attendance at the Convention
showed it, But one Representative District in
he entire State was unrepresented. and the .t-
epdsnce of persons who were not delegates was !
immense. ,
