Tho Democratic Ticket.

Inc democratic state convention NOM
mated an exceptionally strong ticket
Thursday. The great popularity OF CLAUDE
MATTHEWS was attested by his selection.
on the first ballot, over such worthy and
formidable competitors as Messrs. SHANK
LIN, NIBLACK and NYE. Mr.. MATTHEWS is
not a professional politician, but a man
whose life has been passed in the voca-
ton of a farmer. He is identified with
the agricultural interests of the state, and
the farmers will rally around him
at the election as they rallied
around him two years ago, aud as they
rallied around "Blue Jeans" WILLIAMS in
1876. He is a man of brains, education
and character. He has made an unex-
ceptionable record az secretary of state.
He will make an aggressive but dignifed
canvass. His candidacy will appeal to the
people with irresistible force because of
what he is and OF what he represents.
The republicans can name no man for
governor of greater personal worth or
possessing more elements of popularity.
Mr.. MORTIMER NYE, the nominee for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS made a creditable
race for governor. He is a gentleman OF
fine ability, Of irreproachable character,
and of the most attractive personal quail
ties. His name brings great strength to
the ticket.
The judicial nominations are uniformly
excellent The convention had a long
list of able jurists to select from, and was
obliged to reject a number of gentlemen of
the highest character and capacity. But
| no sound objection can be urged against
a single one of the nominees either for
the supreme or the appellate bench. OF
the three nominees for the supreme
bench Judge New has made an enviable
| record in the appellate court. His asso-
ciates on the supreme court ticket, JAMES
MCCABE and T. +. HOWARD, are, like
| Judge NEW, able lawyers and up
right citizens. Judge REINHARD, who is
named to succeed himself on the ap-
| pellate bench, has made an admirable
| Judge, and no Indiana jurist stands higher
| for ability, industry and integrity. The
other persons nominated as appellate
| judges, Messrs. FRANK GAVIN, THEODORE
| p. DAVIS, \. J. LORI and GEORGE W. Ross,
are all men of good legal attainments and
the highest personal standing.
Capt. WILLIAM r.. MYERS, who was nom
mated to succeed Mr.. MATTHEWS as secre-
tary of state, is one of the best known and
most popular gentlemen in Indiana. He
numbers his friends by the thousand,
and no person deserves more of
them. He has filed this Office before to
the entire satisfaction of the people, and
has also served with distinction in con-
gress. He was a brave Union soldier and
is a man of whom nothing can truthfully
be said that is not to his credit.
Mr.. SIDNEY r. Moon, who was an intel
ligent and useful representative in the last
two legislatures. was nominated by accla-
nation for reporter of the supreme court.
| Mr.. Moon is a sound democrat. good
citizen and a capable man, and will run"
well up with any of his colleagues on the
ticket.

state Offices were, in accordance with Gus
