INNING Ticket.
The democratic state convention nomi-
mated a magnificent ticket, and one that
cannot fail Of election.
Col MATsox, the nominee for governor,
and Capt. MYERs, the nominee for lieuten-
aut-yovernor, were both brave soldiers in
The Union army. They fought gallartly
and heroicallv 20 put down the rebellion
and preserve the Union, but when the war
was ended they devoted themselves to the
Patriotic task OF reuniting the so-long
eStranged sections. and their services III
peace have been no less valuable and merit
orious than they were in war. The NOM
inatiun OF these tried and true veterans by
TIC democratic party Of Indiana for the
two most honorable positions in the gilt
of the state Is an evidence OF the respect
and gratitude which that party feels for
the men WHO served their country faith
fully in the time Of its deepest peril. The
soldiers OF Indiana will recognize this
token OF appreciation so gracefully be-
slowed upon two of their most esteemed
comrades by giving them a hearty sup
port at the polls.
As between Col. MATsoN and Capt. My
EEs the convention was naturally embar-
raised IN making selection. Both are
men OF fine abilities, of excellent rec
ords in public and private life, OF
large experience in political affairs,
and OF great skill and popularity
as campaign orators. Capt. MYERS
would have made. as Col. IATsoN will
make, magnificent canvass. For the
cheerfulness and hearty good will with
which Capt. MYERS accepted the post to
which the convention assigned him, he is
entitled 10 and viii receive the warmest
thanks of the democracy of the state. He
will give his best efforts TO the success OF
the entire ticket, and will come in for his
full share of the credit for the splendid
victory which is assured by the work done
yesterday.
OF the other candidates on the ticket il
is not necessary to speak at length on
this occasion. Judges NIBLACK, HowK
and COLLARS were renominated for the
positions on the supreme bench
which they have filled with such
signal ability. All are Surists OF
fine attainments, and have brought
TO the discharge Of their judicial duties
those qualifications of learning, industry
and integrity which entitle them in pre-
eminent degree to the appellation of wise
and upright judges The nominees for
secretary, auditor and treasurer, Messrs.
ROBERT w. MIEEs, CHARLES \. MUNsoN
and THOMAS b. BYRNEs. are well known to
the people of Indiana by reason OF their
gallant, though unsuccessful, canvass for
these positions two years ago. They are
capable men and sound democrats, and
will make faithful and efficient public
servants. Mr.. JONI r. WILSON of this
city, the nominee for attOrney-gen-
eral, is a lawyer of fine ability,
a clever orator, a thorough demo-
ocrat and an irreproachable gentleman.
Prof. GRIFFITH, the nominee Tor super
intendent of public instruction, is prac
teal educator Of long experience, and of
the highest qualifications for the inpOr
tant and responsible Office for which he
has been named. OF Mr.. JOIN W. KERN,
who was unanimously renOminated for
reporter of the supreme court, what but
good can even his most resOlute party OPP
ponent say? Clever, brilliant, genial, elO-
quent and honest, he is universal favor
tie, and his name on the ticket adds ma
terially to its strength.
All in all it is a superb ticket-without
a weak spot anywhere-and will be re-
ceived with enthusiastic approval by every
democrat in Indiana. We think there
can be no doubt Of its triumphant olec-
ton.
