The Republican State Ticket.

As an endorsement OF the action OF
the Republican State Convention last
week, and the names of whose nomi-
nees were given through kilograms in
our last issue, we this week place the
full ticket at the head of the paper.
FOR GOVERNOR.
Geo. Z. Anthony, the man chosen
to lead the party of progress in han-
sas this Centennial year, is known to
many of our local readers, he having
not only received oft mention in these
columns. but he visited our county in
person during the county fair last fall.
That he is the ablest man ever named
for the chief executive OF Kansas few
will deny. AS Governor of the State
he will have and pursue distinctive
policy. stamping his administration
with the pronounced defniteness of
his own character. His administra-
ton of our State affairs will be char
acteristic and will be known in the
future as "Anthony's administration
With demagoguery and the ordinary
appliances and trickery of politics he
has no patience. AS a strict econo-
mist and an advocate of true civil SER
vice reform none surpass him. In
business capacity and unquestioned
integrity few can show brighter ex-
amples. Industrious, comprehensive
and understand every need of our
State, especially from an agricultural
and commercial standpoint, he is, by
all odds, the best man that could have
been chosen by the party.
Capt. Geo. L. Anthony is, if we
mistake not, a timer by trade. For
five years in the army of the Potomac
he commanded what was known as
"Lincoln's Pet Battery"-properly the
Second United States artillery where
he distinguished himself particularly
Engaged as he was in nearly all of the
great battles of that army, his gall
lantry also, became conspicuous. He
came te Kansas Immediately after the
close of the war and took editorial
charge of the Leavenworth Daily Bul-
letin. In a year or two he became
proprietor of the Kansas Farmer,
which he placed at the head of like
publications. To him more than to
any other man does Kansas owe her
superb display at Philadelphia, for,
but for him and his persistent efforts
the Legislature of last winter would
have let the whole matter go by the
board. AS United States Collector of
Internal Revenue for the past six or
eight years. he has not only been the
inventor of naany of the forms used
by the Department of Revenue at
Washington, but the author of many
of It's rules. AS collector he has
been one out of a thousand who could
settle up and pay Government in full
at moments notice. In a word, he
is the man of ali others that Kansas

As to the balance Of the ticket. and
who they are we quote from the Com
monwealM.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
The nominee for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, NJ. J. Salter, holds that posi-
ton now. He was put on the ticket
| two years ago as a representative on
! the settlers of the Usage Ceded Lands
and has filed the Office since.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Thomas II. Cavanaugh was renomi-
mated for Secretary of State. The
fact of his having received 40 votes
on the first ballot is evidence that the
people are satisfied with the manner
in which he has conducted the office
in the past.
AUDITOR OF STATE.
T. L. Bonebrake, the nominee for
Auditor, has filed the Office of County
Clerk of Shawnee county for ten
years, and is qualified in all respects
! for the position.

| Treasurer, Is too well known to need
amy commendation. He fills the posi-
ton now by appointment, and was
nominated by acclamation.

Attorney General, is at present |
County Attorney for Labette county. |
He has had considerable experience |
in his profession, and will fill the
Office with credit.
STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
Mr.. A. b. Lemon, the nominee for
State Superintendent, is new man

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.
David j. Brewer was renominated |
for this important position. He has
given satisfaction heretofore.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
The gentlemen nominated for Presi-
dental Electors are about an average.
We were in hopes that the strongest |
men and best speakers of the State
would have been nominated. Some |
of them are good speakers and some |
are not. The Electors are usually |
nominated after many of the delegates
have left, as was the case Yesterday
Enough care is not taken in selecting
public speakers and men that are
known all over the State
