The Democratic Nominees.

The Presidential Electors selected by the
State Convention, aud the nemipatons of the
Democratic party of California for Congress
and other Offices, are before the people
The names of the candidates will be found al

our pride to keep them there until the 4th

that on that day the free and Independent
voters of the Eureka State will elevate them
to the positions for which they have been
placed in nomination.

ballots" in the Convention, placed him in bis
present position.
GEORGE FREANoR, Of Siskiyou, is young
man of unblemished character; qualified for
any position within the gift of the sovereign
voice of the State; aud an orator ready and
able to meet any and every man whom the
opposition may dare to pit against him. He
was the choice Of the whole range of north

DAN FRANCISCO, sept. 18TH 1890.
MEssRs. EDiTohs The nominations made
by the Democratic Convention at Sacramento
command the general but not the unanimous
approval of the party. 1t can never be ex.
pected that every one shall have his personal
preference gratilied. Nor is it necessary that
it should be So lie is but a poor Democrat
that bases his attachment to the party upon
persons and not principles We have cause
that commands our energies, our symplthies
and our support. We may prefer this stand
ard bearer to that but if disappointed, in our
personal predictions we can turn to our
principles as inscribed on our banner and in
the consolation which they afford forget our
in the selection of another
than our favorite. We must recollect that.
while 'oe have been disappointed others have
been gratlfled. Let us show, by a noble en-
ulation in the support of the candidates Sc
lected, that we are as ready to give them our
aid as we should have expected theirs, had
our choice prevailed. And let us remember
that the choice on election day will be, not
between Democrats, but between our candi-
dates and those opposingus. If we preferred
other men to those which have been selected.
can we prefer to them the nominees of our
opponents? If not,-since the time for ex-
pressing and enforcing our preferences has
gone by-let us not by lukewarmness and
supineness increase the chances of our Oh
ponents, but on the contrary, by vigorous
and nnfinching support, show our opponents
that principle supports us and that we sup
port men only as exponents of principle
Shall we by indulging in paltry dissensions
among ourselves, weaken our organization,
and repel those who may be on the point of
joining us, whilst our opponents, gathering
strength from our weakness and courage from
our temidity, band together with stronger and
closer ties and wrest from us the victory that
and concert would surely give us
Let wiser counsels prevail We have an en-
emy to conquer and field to win. We have
principles to sustain and constitution to de-
fend. Let us unite, then, with one heart,
one soul and one purpose in support of our
and when success crowns our eff
forts we can look back with satisfaction upon
our course, and our only regret will be that
we had so little to sacrifice upon the altar of
our common country. PATAPSCO.

his speech must have been a good one. Our
