HERICKE, of Milwaukee,
The Republicans Of Wisconsin, in
ftieir state convention at Milwaukee
last week, placed in nomination for
estate offices the ticket named above.
s5d7he work of the convention was we'll
taone, and while it left some disap-
n1ointments from the fact of there be-
ing such multitude of candidates
for the different places, still it is the
general opinion that the selections
are wise ones and in every sense quail
fed to meet the universal and hearty
support of the great body of Repub-
Bicans and others who want to see the
state and country restored to their
-eonce prosperous, happy condition
lander judicious Republican, rule. We
look for a rousing big majority for
Ghe entire ticket in November next, a
victory such as will place Wisconsin
IN line where she by rights belongs
5n the column of states favoring the
sound principles of Republicanism.
For governor, Major VIM. II. Up
ham, of Marshfeld, was named. He
: has all the time been one of the lead
eng candidates and has shown an
enormous popularity which bespeaks
Tor him a most excellent run at the
head of the ticket. This is in reality
Mr. Upham's entrance into politics,
Tor he is essentially a business man,
sand that alone. He is the founder
a9f Marshfield, where he gives employ
snent IN his manufacturing and other
pursuits to over 400 men, and where
a2e has been very successful in bust
ness. Mr.. Upham was born May 3,
IS41, In Massachusetts,, and in 1879
12e organized the town of Marshtield
an the woods OF Wisconsin. The ma
Jor is man OF the people, about
whom perhaps the truest thing can
~sae said in these few words of intro
ductlon spoken by the chairman of
the Milwaukee convention, Eugene S.
Elliott. "a shining example of brav-
eary5In war, discretion in peace and
honesty in everything.'
Judge Emil Baensch, of Manitowoc,
15he nominee for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
was born in Wisconsin, of German
parents, 81 years ago. He completed
lais general education at the State
university, then studied law, and is
now practicing his profession in his
native place. For a number of Years
he was county judge of Manitowoc
county, and, two years ago, was the
Republican candidate for congress
anan in his district. His popularity
was shown by his running about 2, 900
ahead of his ticket in the district.
Wherever known Judge Baensch is
well liked, and it is believed that his
domination, which was a fine recog-
milton OF the poung Republican ele-
ment, will add a deal of strength to
the ticket.
Perhaps as strong and good a
nan as is on the ticket is Colonel
Henry Casson, of Viroqua, the nomi-
nee for secretary of state. Mr..
Casson is extensively known and
has g. perfect knowledge of all
branches ofthe estate government. He
IS most careful and competent man,
one who is sure to give the state
faithful and excellent service. He
was the private secretary of Gen.
Rusk while the latter was governor
and was also chief clerk in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture under Gen. Har-
wisOn's administration. Mr.. Casson
IS newspaper man, formerly owning
and editing The Vernon County Cen
sor
Sewell A. Peterson, who was nomi-
mated for state treasurer, is Norwe-
gan by birth, and a merchant at

IN the affairs of his county, mayor
Of the city where he resides, and pos
asesses the confidence Of all who know
