in order that further proof may not be
wanting to show how utterly groundlsss
is the pretext of the self-styled Armo-
Try Hall Convention" We submit the
following editorial from the Sonora Her
aid, of June "a:
1.-THE NoMrNArroNs.--At the head
of our editorial columns to-day our read
ers will perceive the nominees Of the
Democratic County Convention, held
at jamestown on the 18th inst. They
are men, we have no doubt, fully capa-
BILE OF transaoting the duties which may
be required of them. if elected, in a
manner creditable to themselves and
their constituency. They are the choice
Gas will be seen BY the report Of the
proceedings in another soiumn) Of a
large majority ofthe delegates to the
Convention At which they were nomina-
ted, and are therefore fully entitled to
the support of every Democrat.
"With the nominee for the State Sen
ate, Mr.. Vaudeville, nearly all our read
ers must be acquainted, and therefore
any explanation from us would be super
duious. He appears to have given sat
isfaction to the Democracy of the coun-
ty, and is considered worthy Of higher
position than he had before attained.
"The nominees for the Assembly are
not very we'll known to US. Those,
however, with whom We are acquainted
we believe to be well qualified for the
position to which they aspire. One Of
the gentlemen, Capt. Amyx, is very
we'll known over the whole county, hav-
ing acted for some time as deputy for
Sheriff Solomon.
"The nominations for Supervisors are
good. Messrs. Parker, Conway, Oar
den, Dean and Staples will We are con-
6dent, not be found lacking whsu their
services are needed by the county.
"The ticket nominated should receive
the united support Of the Democracy Of
Tuolumne. Some have had preference
for other men as candidates for some OF
the Offices, but disappointment in their
preferences should not lead them to
Withdraw either their influence or vote
from tho support of the ticket. If il
does not suit every one, it is the Demo
cratic ticket, representing Democratic
principles, which should be sufficient to
ensure for it the support of all Demo.
Gratis. We have thus urged the necessi-
ty Of acting in unity for the support Of
the ticket, because We think that such
unity is necessary to ensure its success. y
Now after all this, (and We have t.
ken every particle Of evidence from the
Sonora Herald, the accredited organ Of
the gentlemen who met at Armory
Hall. we ask if any candid mind can
avoid the conclusion that the assumed
grievances Of the Armory Hall sCon-
vention" were pretext to create dis
sension and i'll feeling in the Democratic
party for some other purpose far remov-
cd from that patriotic feeling which
should ever characterize "True Democ
raey," and which was so happily express.
