ton he has invariably manifested while hold
ing the position of Deputy, will make votes
for him from all parties on the 4th day OF
November next. lie has made many and
fast friends, who will stand by him in this
contest. lie is known to be most worthy
young man, who haspasscd through the trials
and temptations of California life unscathed;
a young man who, with pick ald shovel, la
bored in vain to make the earth give forth
her golden treasures, until impaired health
and strength drove him from the feld
young man who, in all the walks of life, has
so conducted himself that not one word Of
reproach nay be uttered against him. To
know Harry Hatch is to love him; and as
majority of the people Of Amador do know
him, we do not doubt that they will express
their love for him at the ballot box. We
will not undertake to estimate the majority
he will receive.
SHERIFF. For this Office, W. J. PAUGH, of
Clinton, is the Democratic candidate He
is well known as one of our Oldest and most
substantial citizens, and is highly respectfully
a very large circle of friends and acquaintan-
ces. DR.. Paugh may be truly classed as the
peculiar favorite Of the miners. For six years
he has resided in the territory that now com
poses Amador county, and during the whole
of this time has been engaged as practical
miner in the neighborhood of Clinton--wed-
ing the pick and shovel with strong arm and
willing heart. Unlike manyin California who
have sought Office from the people, DR.. Paugh
has earned his bread by the sweat of his
brow; not one dollar has found its way to
his purse, except through .he channel of hon
est industry and od-iashoned, hard knocks;
and that he has not stored away ''pile" is
attributable to his generous, benevolent dis
position, and, oftentimes that species Of adj
verse fortune with which thousands of old
miners are so intimately acquainted-months
of labor on expensive claims, without even
the color" in return DR.. Paugh's char
acter for stern integrity, sobriety ard good
morals is without blcmish, and no man viii
think for one mcmcnt Of questioning his ca
pacity to fulfil the duties Of the Office. He
is a man Of good requirements, and has re-
ceiyed an excellent business education The
Sheriff's Office is a responsible position; and
Dr. Paugh is Just the man TO fill it to the
satisfaction Of the people. That he will be
chosen, is very generally conceded 10y the
candid Of all parties. His success in a word,
is a matter about which there is no reasona-
BILE question 1t would have been impossible
for the Convention to have improved upon its
choice for Sheriff, and the people, at the
polls, will trumphautly ratify the nomination
DIsTRIcT ATroRNEY.-W feel that it is
quite unnecessary to say much concerning the
nomination of s. B. AxTELL. Ills best re
commendation is that he has already held the
position of District Attorney for two years,
and we have yet to hear the first word of
complaint concerning his official career, from
friend or foe lie has ably, impartally, and
industriously transacted the business pertain
ing to the Office; he has, in a word made an
excellent District Attorney, rejecting credit
upon himself and the county and we doubt
not that the people will continue him in their
service. The Office Of District Attorney is
one that should be tcel FILED, without refer
ence to party; and now that the people Of
Amador have a good one, and By far the best
ia,cyer of the thres candidates, they will retain
him. Mr.. Axtel's election is one of the GER
tain things.
AssEssoR-As in the case of Mr.. Axtell,
ii. A. EIcHEBERGER, our candidate for As
SCISSOR, has already held the Office for two
years and has proved himself an industrious,
competent and faithful officer His business
has always been attended to at the proper
time, in the proper manner and to the salts
faction of all concerned What better re-
commentator could be required or given?
Mr. Eichelberger has been tried, and the YER
dict is in bis favor; this we conceive to be the
very strongest endorsement he or any other
man could have. The people of Amador
are satisfied that they have a good Assessor,
and on the 4th of November they will decide
to retain him in service for two years longer.
