The nomination of Ralston for Governor, and the present incumbents, Ellingham for Sec. Statq; O’Brien for Auditor; Vollmer for Treasurer; Honan for Atty .-General, and Brolley for Statistician; Greathouse for Supt. Public Instruction, was conceded from the start, in fact there was no to them, but for Lieut.-Governor, Reporter of the Supreme Court and Supremo- and ''"‘•Appellate Judges there was a lively contest, several ballots being necessary to arrive at a choice. , The ticket is conceded to be a strong one, and that Lt will be a winner is also practically conceded even by the opposition. ‘
