HER A Id

Since the publication of the letter
Of Governor Ludington, declining TO
be a candidate for denomination, sew
eral candidates have sprung to the
surface, and are claiming the recog-
niticn of the public. Hon. Wm. b..
Smith, wo started out very early in
the season to press his claims for the
nomination is more generally men,
toned than any other persons in con-
necticn with that position. Having
been State Treasurer four years, Sem

of many excellent qualities. He has
enjoyed several years of experience
in public positions. He is man of
culture, and withal citizen of IN,
blemi4hed character. And it is By no
means certain that he will unite the
contention. While Republicans
generally deeply respect Mr.. Smith,
very many of them would prefer
some one else for candidate for
Governor. This has brought before
the public several names, all more or
less prominent and worthy of reeog-
milton. Mr.. Sawyer, whose ten years
service in Congress gave him
strong foot-hold in the Republican
ranks in this State, was urged to per-
nit his name to be used, but be pos
