REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

The perScnRet Of theneXt Republican
State ticket has not as yet been very
generally discussed, but there already
exists an evident desire on the part of
many members of the party and of the
press in different portions of the State
for an exchange of views upon this
important question. The political
skies are becoming brighter and
brighter for the Republican party and
iudicious nominations followed by a
vigorous and aggressive campaign will
in November crown its efforts with
success. We are gratified to OF serve
omen of victory in the unanimity
expressed, l,y those who have thus far
made known their preferences, in fa-
vor of adhering to those party usages
that have seemed to acquire the force of
heneficent party laws, which acknowl-
edge the worth of faithful and efficient
officers by rendering to them a re-
nomination for a secoRd term and
which also defer to the commendable
desire of the different nationalities
who 80 far to make up the party to be
recognized in the formation of State
ticket, by naming the present elective
State officers as the candidates of the
Republican party in the approaching
campaign for the respective offices
which they now hold. The present
State administration enjoys i'll high
degree the confidence of the Republl-
can party throughout the State and
we believe this confidence to be well
founded by reason of the efficiency
and real worth of those constituting
it; it receives the commentator not
only Of Republicans but of many Dem
ocrats as well, while it is singularly
| free from the assaults of the most ul-
ira of its political opponents.
The people of the St. Croix Valley
view with q just sense of pride the ex-
cellent record made, as an incumbent
of the office of Secretary of State, of
the distinguished gentleman who halls
from among them-Hon. Hans b..
Warner. They know him as one
whose integrity and honor is above
suspicion and whose efficiency is I'M
questioned, and we but echo the senti-
ment of the Republicans of the St.
| Croix Valley, and in fact of the entire
Seventh Congressional District, when
we say that they will go into their
next State Convention solid fcr the re-
nomination of Mr.. Warner. No rea-
son existed for that gentleman's NOM
inatien two years ago which does not
now exist, while it must be quite APP
parent to the most causual observer
that reasons faYoring his nomination
exist now which did not then exist.
We have thus singled out Mr.. Warner
from among the other State officials III
making our suggestions because he is
! personally known TO so great a num-
Der Of our many readers, bat we can
safely assure them that what we have
said of this gentleman will in the
main apply to his associates in the adj
mindstration of State affairs. Govern
or Smith has proven himself a careful,
/ energetic executive, has looked vigil
lantIy after the interests of the people
and in every way shown his qualitica-
ton for the honorable station which
he now Ellis. and every State officer,
from tie Governor to the Superin-
tendent. has shown IN efficiency in
the discharge of his duties, coupled
with fidelity to the trust reposed in
him. which entities him to the conf
dence of the people as well Us further
preferment at the hands of his party.
We believe that the Republicans of
the st. Croix Valley are in favor of
tie denomination of the present State
Off ers from first TO last and feel that
we can confidently assure the ''slate-
makers that they will do well to take
this into account when making their
figures.
