More Favorable Comments Upon the Ticket
From the Country Press
[Iher!a Rl1gnr-Dnwl,l

While va are 10 politician, and know that
the bulk Of our readers prefer That we AVOID
saying too much on tho subject. yet We con-
celve 1t to be our duty to give our support to
the regular nominees of The only orghullH-
tion In our State which promises us good
government-the Conservative Democratic
party.
While We would have preferred Gen. Ogden
for Governor. yet we believe Mr. Witt to be n
pure man. politically and, hence. will give
him our warm support during the campaign.
His long experience In pubic life, which to
some Ia objectionable undoubtedly tue better
its hin for tho position for which he received
such catering nomination. Although an
Otlice-hUder nearly ever since tbs close Of the
war, Mr.. Witt is day poor man, which VI
Itself speaks volumes in his praise, and we
have never yet heard Of !. single instance
where hls political Integrity could bh ques-
toned. He has the ability to I'LL the high po-
sition for which our party has chozen him,
and we have no doubt he VIII be electea by AL
Overwhelming majority. We regret to learn
that some NJ the Ogden men are declining To
support Mr.. Witt, but they should remember
they are IN honor bold to do 30, siuce the
convention decided against w.
so far as We know, the Other nominees on
the State ticket are oil equally rs worthy ns
Mr. Witt. @Nr. \. ID McEnery. brother Or ex-
Gov. John McEnery, is u gentleman Of more
than ordinary ability, and he has never been
politician. The denomination 81 Capt. Allen
Jumel as Auditor aud Hon. VIII. Strong III
Secretary or State, was especially gratifying
to u.s. Mr.. Egan's nomination ~ Attorney
General was u deserved compliment to
worthy gentleman and active worthy official.
We would mach preferred to have seen Mr..
Lusher renominated for Superintendent Of
Education, HB he could not hhvea superior Tor
that position; but II Mr.. Fay was regularly
nominated, he should be supported.
