Charles f.. Curry, who for the
past II years has made a most
faithful and efficient Secretary
of State, and who now seeks the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor. has very plain and def
mite platform on which he bases
his request to be named as the
head of the state ticket. The
favor with which his candidacy
is everywhere received. the
many warm friends he has made
and the extent and value of his
services as Secretary of State,
combine to render Mr.. Curry by
far the strongest candidate for
the nomination and there seems
no doubt but that he will re-
