Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 January 1860 — FOR AUDITOR OF STATE. [ARTICLE]

FOR AUDITOR OF STATE.

On the 22d of next February the Republican party will hold their State Convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary, Auditor, Treasurer, &c. Among the names presented for the Consideration of that body we hear that of Dr. Wm. H. Martin, of Rensselaer, highly spoken of in connection with the office of Itute Auditor. Dr. Martin is a stance Republican—was such in principle before the formation of the party; he has assiduously worked for it with pen and tongue through every campaign; beside, North Western Indiana has strong clabns to a representation in a State office and in the person of a man who would be an honor to his constituents. With such an addition as Dr. Martin to the fearless advocates already before the Convention, we may reasonably look for an overthrow of the corrupt party in power.— Monticello Spectator. It is with feelings of pride that we copy the above well-merited notice ot an honored fellow-townsman. Dr. Martin is a well-in-formed, well-read and well-bred gentleman, whom his neighbors would be delighted to honor. Should the Convention be go fortunate as to put him in nomination f ol - State Auditor, there will not. be the ticket a more thorough-^;,.and consistent Republican; is there in the State a man mor 1 eminently qualified to fill the office, if he gets the nomination it will be a source oi gratitude to his friends and acquaintances and an arm of strength to the ticket, as he is an eloquent and fluent speaker, and would, of course, in such an event, canvass the State.
