THE NEXT STATE TICKET.

/
publican state ticket. 1t appears thai
the manufacture of estates" by lobby
lists and members of the legislature
was not quite so extensively INDUCED
in at the recent session as usual,
though a number of gentlemen were
mentioned as possible candidates. Nc
one will for a moment question the
propriety of rendering to Gov. Luding-
| ton denomination and there is every
| indication that he will he nominated
without opposition, but the compost
tiOn of the rest of the ticket will be
generally regarded as subject for
calm, dispassionate consideration and
discussion. For Lieutenant Governor,
Hon. W. II. Hiner, of Fond du Lac.
will doubtless be a prominent candi-
date, aided somewhat by the prestige
of his position as President pro tenn of
the Senate at the recent session of the
Legislature.
For Secretary of State, Senator FL
field, of Ashland, Senator Flint, of
Dunn, C. B. Solberg, of La Crosse, and
| III. Il. Warner, of Pierce, besides 9TH
srs, have been suggested. Custom
seems to have assigned to the Scandi-
navian element of the party this place
on the ticket and this custom will
probably be sustained in 1877. Many
| friends of Mr.. Warner will urge that
he be nominated, should that gentle
man decide TO accept nomination if
rendered him. The nomination of H..
b. Warner to this position would be
one eminently tit to be made. He is a
true representative of nationality
which with remarkable unanimity sus-
tains the principles OF the Republican
party-the Norwegian class; he has
served Pierce county in the capacity
of County Clerk during the past eight
years, and has been chosen for anoth-
er term upon which he entered on the
first of January last, by majority Of
nearly 1900; he has proven himself a
capable, courteous officer and gentle
man of answering integrity; the
duties to which lie has so long attend
ed in the Clerks office at Ellsworth
have fitted him for an efficient dis
charge of the labor devOlving upon
the Secretary of State. Mr.. Warner
will be remembered as having been
upon the Republican ticket as candl-
date for this position in 1875, and his
popularity is attested by the fact that
he received a larger number of votes
than any candidate on the ticket, with
the single exception of Governor Lud-
ingtOn his travels through the State
during his former candidacy enabled
him to form many acquaintances and
he is now more extensively known
than before, though his home endorse
ments, where he is best known, should
afford him proper credentials for the
confidence of his fellow citizens else
where. Noreason existed for his NOM
inatiOn in 1875 that does not now eX-
list, while events which have subse-
quently transpired viii tend to make
him a stronger candidate. If any dis
trict has claims upon the considera-
ton of the State Convention by reason
of its loyalty to party, surely it is this
congressional district.
The Madison correspondent of the
Milwaukee GermGHiG suggests as a
suitable candidate for State Treasurer,
Henry Kleinpell, of Sank City, as a
recognition of the German-Americans
upon the ticket, and with Governor
Ludington on the ticket from Milwau.
kee an ordinary degree of political sa-
gacity would suggest Mr.. Kleinpell in
preference to Mr.. Geilfuss, of MIlwau.
kee, who has also been mentioned as a
candidate. For Attorney General.
Hon. Carl Z. Pope, of Jackson, and a
Mr.. Carter. of Grant, have been men
toned. while for the office of Superin.
tendent of Public instruction we have
not seen the name of any one.
