Soldier favored Republican ticket nominated at Illinois convention
The Illinois Republican State convention in Springfield nominated General John A. Logan for State Treasurer General G W Smith for Superintendent of Public Instruction and Non Bateman alongside other soldiers on the ticket.

The ticket is expected to win by a large margin.
