SAYS.
For Secretary of State, are Ole John
son, of Rock; Hans B. Warner, Of
Pierce. Both men have heretofore been
nominated on the Republican ticket for
Secretary of State and State Treasurer,
and were defeated by their opponents.
Also Capt. E. G. Timme, of Kenosha, a
very prominent and influential German.
Capt. Timme resided in the Western
portion of Kenosha County, near the
WalWorth County line, until the break
ing out of the late war, at which time
he was one of the first who responded
to the call of the Government for de-
tenders of our country and in defense Of
which he lost his left arm at the battle
of chicamauga in 1868. He was pro-
NOTED to Captaincy for bravery dis
played during said battle The Captain
is personally we'll known in Geneva,
and especially in the eastern portion Of
Walworth County. He is a man who
is well liked by all and especially by
his Countrymen (the Germans) In fact
if nominated, they would support him
irrespective Of party, which would
make him very desirable and strong
candidate.
Nearly all ideas Of any contest in re-
gard to the State Secretaryship has
passed away and it has been pretty
generally concluded that the nomina-
ton for that office will be given to
Capt. E. G. Timme, OF Kenosha, while
the Office of Treasurer will as likely fall
to the lot Of the Scandinavians, Capt
Timme is highly spoken Of by all those
acquainted with him and is so popular
with the masses where he lives, that
he will receive nearly the whole vote
of both parties there. We think that
he will make good man for the office

Capt. E. G. Timme, of Kenosha, is
announced as candidate for the posi-
ton of Secretary of State on the Repub-
lican ticket. He is said to be thorough

popular wherever known. He lost an
arm during the war.-Se11tt71el.
FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
One Capt. Ernest G. Timme, of Ke-
nosha, is being mentioned, very extern
sively for Secretary of State. From
we can learn of the gentleman, he
would undoubtedly make an excellent
officer. The name of O. G. Johnson
Of Beloit is also used for the office.
We dislike man that will travel over
the States electioneer for himself, las
did Mr.. Johnson, four years ago. Mr.
j. is without doubt a good, honest man
but he wants office terrible bad, if we
may Judge from the past
Mr.. Timmc is a One-armed soldier
has lots of warm trends, who are
seeking the man. instead of 0ice
0ersd. We hope to see the Kenosha
man favored by the nomination and
election. - Independent Bro dhead

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The press of this State is quite busy
discussing the relative strength and
merits Of the gentlemen named as de-
sirable candidates to place on the Re-
publican State ticket this fall. While
in attendance at the Editorial Con-,
the present week, we found a lively
interest manifested by Republican
publishers in the success of the fall
campaign. We are agreeably surpris-
ed to find that Capt. =. G. Timme, of
Kenosha, who lost his left arm in the
battle of Chicamauga, had many warm
admirers among the representatives of
the craft.
We have been personally acquainted
with the gallant Captain for a number
of years, and we are sure that the
State does not possess q man more
competent or more worthy to receive
the nomination for Secretary Of State,
and we hope to have the pleasure OF
voting for him next November. RG-
