The candidate for State Treasurer, Hon.

W.H.

Vasser, was a successful business man who lived in the northern part of the State, while the candidate for Attorney General, Hon.

Joshua S.Morris, was a brilliant member of the bar who lived in the southern part of the State.

The other three, the candidates for Lieutenant-Governor, State Auditor and Superintendent of Education, were Northern men who had settled in the State after the War, called by the Democrats, "Carpet Baggers," but they were admitted to be clean and good men who had lived in the State long enough to become fully identified with its industrial and business interests.
