The GubernatOrial Nomination
Mr. Editor: desire, through the col
utnns Jf the Placer Herald, to call the at
tenton of the Democratic Convention
which il il to convene in Auburn on the
4th day of June, to the importance Of
nominating delegates to the Democratic
State Convention who will carry out the
views of the Democracy Of Placer in re-
gard to the Gubernatorial nomination. A.
number of gentlemen of sterling integrity
and unimpeachable Democracy have bren
and among Others our esteemed and val.
liable citizen, Judge FitzSimrnons. | am
glad to see this gentleman's name used in
the above connection, feeling assured
that if the choce of the State Convention
should fall upon him the election of the
whole Democratic State Ticket wOu Il he
ensured beyond doubt
In selecting an individua' to Fl the FIX
ecutive chair of our State, it is desirable
that his political anteredentS should he
both unexreptionahle and POPULAR in
Judge F., | recognise such a man. 1t
.-.:.-h. -, ..ij,.tnd i,si s"nn that he is roo
young man to occupy such an important
positions; but would reply that the time
has arrived when talent and worth is re-
cogniSed when possessed by young men.
The exrlnSiveness of old fogeyism will
not dO in this day and generation, and in
California it is altogether our of p ace
The popu alton of this great State is coin
posed principal of young men, and to
them is due the credit of making it the
"Young Giant" of the Confederary, and
into their hands wi the destnies of our
growing State he committed.
Judge F., is an old resident of Ca flor
MIA, and miner of '49; he has been
largely Identified with the interests of
Placer county since its t"rmation, and is
a thorough "a itorninn in feeling and SEN
tmtnt, beside being Il tried Democrat of
the Progressive stamp. No man is more
popular in Placer county, and none more
de-ervedly 50. Possessing, as he does,
the elements so requisite for popularity,
his nomination would be the signal for the
rallying of the Democracy throughout the
State, and won q enab e us to present an
unbroken front to our opponents IN the
coming election. His LIBERAL attainnentS
and excellent business habits peculiarly
fit him for the station, and wou d render
him an invaluable officer in the present
emergency of our State affairs ! he
very able administrative abilities he has
shown while on the bench in Placer coun
~, has marked him as one eninently quail
fled to fill the highest trusts within the
gitt of the peop Q; and the citizens of this
county would only he willing to have him
leave his present position to occupy
higher one. " hi e the names of other
gentlemen, who are more extensively but
not more tavnrab Y known, are being her
aided throughout the State, his seems APP
parently lost sight of; therefore, it is,
desire 10 say to our coming ounty Cor
ventiOn, 10 nominate delegates tU the State
Convention who will give a talr express
sion of the sentiments of the Democracy
of Placer county upon the nomination for
Governor, and | have no doubt JHdye F.,
will receive the united vote of our dele
CATION.
My opportunities for ascertaining the
views of the Democracy of the county,
are, perhaps, as good as any member OF
the party, and am satisfied | speak the
sentiments of the majority of them.
DEMOCRAT.
