The Republican State Ticket.

4 nc pun III ~ no I'm L.
1t is very rare that state ticket
is before the people that, in every
respect is so satisfactory TO the
members OF its party as is the Re
publican ticket the present year. Its
nomination was assured long before
the state convention and its election
has been equally assured ever since
that time. The nomination of Gov.
Rusk three years ago was not in ac-
cordance with the unanimous wish
of the members of his party, by any
means. His conduct in Office has
completely captured his opponents,
and now they are his warmest sup
porters He has made no special
effort to secure popularity, beyond
an earnest effort to discharge his du
ties SO as to promote the best inter
ests of the commonwealth. 1t is
this upright conduct and untiring
energy in the interests of the state,
that give him so large a measure of
popularity. The people admire true
pluck, and they find it in Gov. Rusk.
They know that he has made most
excellent governor in the past, and
propose to give him another tenn,
backed up by much larger MAORI
ty than he received three years ago.
AS lieutenant governor, Sam. 5.
Fifeld has given the best of salts
faction. His experience as a presid
ing officer, and his natural adoption
to the duties of that position, render
him an exceedingly proper man to
preside over the state senate. His
action is prompt, impartial and just.
The care, accuracy and skill with
which the intricate and important
duties in the Office of secretary Of
state are performed under the vigil
ant eye of Ernst G. Timme, are suf-
ficient to account for his popularity,
and afford a conclusive reason why
the people desire to keep him at the
head of the state department. No
more conscientious, pains-taking,
gentlemanly and accommodating of
ticer ever occupied the position, than
is Capt Timme.
The same is the case in each Of
the other state offices. The treas
urer, +. c. McFetridge, is in every
way qualified for the duties of his
responsible position; and the state
funds will be safe while in his
charge Gen. Frisby, the legal of
ficer of the state, is a thorough law
yer and gives all matters that come
before him thorough investigation
and all the legal attention needed to
secure the rights of the state. I'm
der the charge of Robert Graham,
the educational department is sure
to prosper. He knows just what is
wanted, and will accomplish what is
desirable, if such thing is possible
OF the manner in which Nels p
Haugen manages the railroad de
partment, no complaint has ever
been heard. He fails in no duty:
keeps everything in order, protects
the people against abuses, and i'm
poses no useless burdens upon the
railroad companies. Phil. L. Spoon
er, Jr., is familiar with insurance in
all its intricacies, and never permits
wrong doing in his department. The
people have an immense interest IL
this department, and their interests
are safe in charge of Mr.. Spooner.
If the people exercise a proper
amount of wisdom, and use proper
exertions, on the 4th of November
this selection Of candidates will bC
ratified by their votes, and the pres
ent state officers will serve another
term, backed by majority of no
less than thirty thousaud.-St at
