We have no doubt that this ticket is composed
tions, the Know Nothing party could pro-
duce. j. Nicely Johnson, is an old resident of
the State having arrived in California in 1919
And while he has attained the position of
first-rate lawyer, among The members of the
Sacramento bar, yet he is a OF some con-
siderable ability, and is said to be very excel
lent speaker. Ii is thought, however, that his
nomination will certainly secure for Bigler the
great majority of the settler vote. II is n na-
tive of the State of Indiana and has twice re-
presented Sacramento County in tue State Lee
gisature. Mr.. }. has heret ofore acted with the
Wing party.
For the Supreme Bench, the nominees are
men of ability, although Judge Murray is no.
toriously one OF the most dissolute men i'll Cali
forna. His nomination in face of the resolution
that none but those favorable TO the temperance
movement should be nominated. looks rather
funny. OF Mr.. Terry we know nothing, except
thai he is Know Nothing. The S. T. CAroni-
cle whose leading editor is one of the promi-
nent Wings of lhe State. in speaking of the
nomination of Judge Murray, says:
1--WE have no personal antipathy to Judge
Murray. But we say, as Webster said,
other occasion, "a The nomination was not fit to
be made That is the feeling here, where he
is best known-where his decisions are best un-
derstood. The Convention pledges itself to the
Union of the States and turns about from that
resolution and nomlnates man, In several of
whose decisions there appears more Nullifca-
tion than even John c. Calhoun ever promul-
gated He is said TO be very popular
with the miners, very popular with the Settlers
favorable to them. From this cause undoubted-
ly came much of his strength in the Convention
1t is reported that these classes in that body de-
manded his nomination as right, and conse-
quently it may be reasonably calculated that
they will go for him enthusiastically. But in
this city, with the merchants, whose circulars
against his nomination may be considered re-
monstrance, not even the oaths and obligations
of Order make thousands belonging to it.
60 up to the polls and vote for him."
OF DR.. Henry Bates, of this County, nomin-
ated for State Treasurer, we are prepared to
speak. We do not hesitate to say that more
honest man or clever gentleman, could not have
been found in the Know Nothing party The
Alta says:
DR.. Henry Bates, the candidate for Trea-
surer, was a member of the last Legislature
and regarded as rather a leading man, and
We have no doubt is fully competent for the po-
siton.
Of the remainder of the ticket we know but
little, with the exception OF Gen. Allen, nominee
for State Printer The General was nominated
in accordance with an agreement between the
proprietors OF the Marysville Herald the Sacra-
mento Tribune and the S. F. Citi-en, that the
profits of the office TO be equally divided
is worthy man and high minded gentleman
Speaking of the ticket, the Cui1en, the X. N.
organ, says:
:" The last hope of the Phalanxers is DESTROY
ed; the last plank TO which they clung is shiver-
ed; they had hoped that discordant elements
would interfere with the harmony of our Con-
veniion, but they have been bitterly disappoint-
ed, and IN the dim distance they see fading

spoils of office obtained by an abuse of power
After censuring the system of trading which
obtained so generally in the Convention, the
Alta remarks:
. 1t has been game of dishonesty, and will
hardly win. The Governor may be elected.

In speaking of the Convention. The Sacra-
mento Union, ultra Know Nothing, says ait
was composed of better men than are usually
sent TO nominating conventions" but that their
calculations were overturned by the thousand

nection it observes:
