A STATE TICKET.

The following is from the Fond dT
Lac Commonwealth. Its reference tt
Mi Baetz Will please his thousands o.
friends in this county, who would de
light in rolling up an immense majority
for him, let the office be what it may
So far as we are informed the ticket
given below would be a strong one, com
posed of some of the very best men in
the State and containing the elements
necessary to success:
The estate" for next falls campaign
in this State is being made up In Wash
ington, if we may credit the reports that
reach us from there. IF we know any
thing of the sentiments of the people it
will be badly smashed when the conven-
ton meets. The selections made by our
friends at the capital are: Ludington
or Sawyer for Governor; w. W. Field
for Secretary OF State Henry Baetz for
Treasurer; r. l.. D. Potter for Attor-
ney-General. The latter gentleman will
resent the liberty taken with his name,
SIS he had chosen the first place on the
ticket and they have coolly put him at
the tail of it. He is probably as well
qualified for one as for the other, and
unless we miss our guess will get neither.
Huntington and Baetz are all right, and
these two on one ticket would trium-
phantly carry it through. Mr.. Baetz
enjoys deserved popularity that would
render him a strong candidate for Gov
ernor, bat perhaps the nomination for
the office he filled so we'll before, with
Ludington for Governor, would make
the ticket still stronger We wouldn' t
want anything better than this, how
ever:
Governor-Henry Baetz, Manitowoc.
Lit. Governor S. Fifeld, Ash
land.
Secretary of State-J B. Cassoday,
GAINESVILLE.
State Treasurer II. Hiner, Fond
du Lac
Attorney General. G. Winckler,
Milwaukee.
Supt of Schools Robert Graham,
Oshkosh.
Com of m1gration-FrancisL Little,
Mineral Point.
Such ticket would comprise every
necessary element of success, and what
IS really much more important than the
question of availability, each person
here suggested is peculiarly fitted fo1
the Office Indicated Mr.. Baetz is a gen
tleman of excellent executive ability, OF
the highest personal character, respected
by all classes. Sam. Fifield is so we'll
known to the public and has given such
entire satisfaction in the various public
offices he has filled that there can be nc
QUESTION of his fitness. Mr.. Cassoday is
first class lawyer, a high-minded anC
accomplished gentleman, who WOULD
give perfect satisfaction In any place tc
which he might be called. :Senatol
hiner's fitness will be apparent without
a word in his behalf OF Gen. Wincklel
nothing need be said. There can be nC
dissent from the assertion that the State
possesses no man better qualified for the
position of Attorney-G General. Prof
Graham stands at the head of his pro
fession. The tried and true ex-senator
Little is just the man for COMMISSIONS
of Immigration. The ticket we hay,
suggested would command the respec
and support of Republicans, and offer
no excuse for violent opposition on per
sonal grounds from the Democrats. /
is early IN the day, to be sure, to max,
ticket, but perhaps it is as well tina
the press should point out the best mel
III the party, so that there may be n,
excuse for putting up q weak. ticket
The result of such course by the Re
pubhcans two years ago is fresh enough
III the minds of the people TO rende
them more careful this fall. It is vastl,
more important good men should b.
chosen, than that sectional claims an,
the question of nationality should alon
be considered, as has been too often tn
case heretofore. We need not say tina
not one of the gentlemen whose name
we have taken the liberty of suggestin;
has been consulted by us, or is aware
until this may meet his eye, that W
have pointed out his special fitness for
State office. Nor do We propose thes
gentlemen on the presumption that Their
may not be many others perhaps equal,
suitable for the various offices. W
know they are all right; but We trust
there are others who are yet better tina
the press will give their names TO til
public. What we desire is simply tina
the matter may be thoroughly canvasse
bv the people, and that they may hav
an opportunity of SO informing them
selves that it will be impossible for
half dozen politicians at Washington t
fix up slate to cram down the people
Threats in spite of their preferences.
