The Republican State Ticket.

It. is great Satisfaction to Repub-
Iicans that, at tho coming election,
loyalty to party and strict sense Of
duty run parallel. Of the personal
fitness Of the vAriour candidates, for
the respective officers to which they
are nominated, it is unnecessary for us
to say more than we have done. They
are unexceptionally well qualified men.
The Republican State convention
did not nominate candidate for the
Office OF Chief Justice, in order that
the Office might be taken cut of the
political srena. by common consent
the Hon. James Gilfillan has become
the accepted candidate Of all Republi-
can, aud the majority of Democrats.
As to legal at'ainme"ts, personal and
official integrity, there is no better
man in the State for the position. His
opponent, Ex Judge Emmett, has no
professional requirements to command
him, aEd does not command the con-
iiencc of the people. The only votes
he will get will be those Of people who
vote for party nomination as matter
Of course, and we hope that, in Red
wood County he will rot get a vote.
