For a faithful dis charge of duty, in both civil nnd military life, aud for what he may do for the State uuder the change of policies, the people will honor themselves by giving Lini sueh a vote as will iusure iho permanent triumph of public policies and ineasurcs of lasting benefit to the State Hon Edwin IÍ. Lothrop, candidate for Lieutenant Grovernor, is one of the oldest and one of the inost estcciücd citizens of the State. His record is ctaar upon the leading qnestions of the day, and his experience omiucntly fits hiin for the duties devolving upon the Lieutenant Governor. Tho duties of this officer are not burdensoine, but the candidate should possess dignity of character and sorue ability and experience for a proper discharge of the duties, and in view of eontingencies that may ariso. Mr. Lothrop possesses the necessary qualifications. George B. Turner, candidate for Sec retary of State, is also an old resident of the State, bas served iu the Legislature as a meuiber from Cass Couuty, and is ccry fctfy competent to discharge the duties of that office.
