THE NEXT STATE TICKET.
Who are Mentioned as Candidates for
the Different Offices.

A correspondent writing from Madi
son to the Milwaukee Sentinel gives the
outline of a ''sate" which is being pre-
pared by the indus trlous politicians in
that city, and as that class of people are
! congregated there from all parts of the
| State, and embraces in its number many
representative men, we are apt to place
more credence in the views expressed by
| the correspondent than is usually accord
| ed them, although we would not advise
our readers to be preparing ballots to
| cast for the gentlemen mentioned, just
yet.
There seems to be general desire on
the part of the Republicans to run Gov.
Ludington next fall. His administra-
ton has certainly given great satisfac-
ton to PEOPLE of both parties, and his
wider acquaintance has made him more
popular than ever. Hon. Jerry Rusk
and Hon. VIM. E. Smith are also men
| toned, and the staten 4nt is also made
that Hon. Philetus Sawyer is not a can
didate. Gov. Ludington's re nomina-
ton may, in our opinion, be set down
as an assured fact.
For the office of Lieutenant Governor
the names of Senators Hiner, of Fond
du Lac, Treat, of Green, and Holloway
/ of Grant, are mentioned. Either of
these would make good officer, while
+! it would be a genuine pleasure to sup
| port the claims of Mr.. Hiner, whom we
regard as one of the ablest Republicans
in the State. -.--s
Hon. Chas. Solberg, of La Crosse, H.
Turner, of Ripon, and Sam Fifeld, of
Ashland, are mentioned as candidates
for the Office of Secretary of State.
For State Treasurer there seems to be
but one choice among the slate makers
and that is orr worthy citizen, Charles
Luling, Cashier of the First National
Bank. Should Mr.. Luling consent to
allow his name to go before the conven-
ton we feel assured that his peculiar
fitness for the position would secure him
the. nomination, while his great popu-
larity and the high esteem in which he
is held would make his election a GER
tainty. We can think of no one better
fitted to fill out and strengthen the Re
publican State ticket next Fall than this
gentleman, and should the convention
bestow the nomination upon him there
can be but one result.
Col. Carl G. Pope, of Jackson, and
W. E. Carter, of Grant, are the most
prominent mentioned candidates for
Attorney General. Either one of them
would make excellent officers and ssdraw''
well.
Among the Democrats there seems to
be but one name prominently mentioned
for Goyernor-that of Hon. los Rankin,
OF this city. Speaking of him in this
connection the correspondent says:
Probably the ablest man they have is
Senator Rankin of Manitowoc He is
unquestionably the best parliamentarian
IN the Senate, and is an exceedingly
shrewd man and keen politician. AS a
representative of the young Democracy
he would be the strongest candidate that
party could nominate, but this very fact
would defeat his nomination, as the old
liners still rule It is most probable
that Mr.. Rankin will be chosen chair
man of the State Central Committee, a
post he would fill WELL
Senator r. E. Davis, of Dane, is also
mentioned in connection with that Office.
Tom Wall, of Oshkosh, and F. G. Cotz-
hansen, of Milwaukee, are on the list as
candidates for Lieutenant Governor,
while Geo. Peck, of La Crosse, Jos.
Hamilton, of Milwaukee, and A. L.
Smith, of Outagamie, would like to be
Secretary of State. For Attorney Gen
eral, on the Democratic side, we see the
name of Philo Orion, of Madison, and
James G.. Jenkins, of Milwaukee.
The correspondent says: ''There is
a most marked and easily discovered
contrast between the two parties when
they speak of the next election of state
officers. The Republicans are buoyant,
confident and strong, the Democrats
weak, doubtful and Disguised. Some
of them quite despair of any success in
the future, and take but little interest in
