Rensselaer Union, Volume 2, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1869 — Treasurer of State. [ARTICLE]

Treasurer of State.

By reference to another article in the Uinox of this issue it will be seen that the Republican Central Committee of our State have decided to call a delegate convention at Indianapolis, on the 22d of next February, for the purpose of nominating a State ticket for the campaign of 1870. Among the officers to bo elected next fall is a State Treasurer. The present efficient incumbent, Gen. N#haa Kimball, is now serving his second term and is not eligible to re-election. As yet, we have seen no one mentioned to fill the vacancy and do not know who will be candidates. We think, however, the convention could not do better than to nominate Gen. Robert 11. Milroy, of Carroll comity, for that position. His services during the war were distinguished by bravery, efficiency and faithfulness. He is well known to the people of the State as an intelligent, high minded and moral citizen. In his private life he is modest, generous, temperate agd honest. No man in Northern Indian* w more popular among the people, and no one is more esteempd by his old comradesin arms. As a recognition of past services to the party, and as a measure of policy, we, in common with his large eircle of personal and political friends, would rejoice in his nomination. being confident that his name would add strength to the ticket, and his election secure an honest and economical officer.
