Our County Candidates.

At the head of our columns to-day
appears our County Ticket, and we hon
estlv believe that no better one could
nossiblv have been selected. Each man
upon it is ready and willing to rest his
case upon the issue sis he honest, is he
capable;" ard feels confident that the
yerdics must lie in his favor.
First upon the Legislative ticket
comes the name Of A. A. Sargent, can
didate for the State Senate. OF this
gentleman it is necessary for us to say
hut little. One of the oldest residents
of this County, he is known to every
person in it, and sustains high reputa-
ton throughout the entire State, His
connection with the American party
commenced with its earliest history IN
Nevada County, and up to the present
time-through its bright and its dark
hours-he has always been its able,
earnest and steadfast advocate and sup
norter No man in the northern mines,
during the last campaign, contributed
more Of labor, time and ability to the
American cause than did A. a. Sargent.
His private character is pure, his talents
are admitted, even by his political oppo-
pents, to be of an exceedingly high Or
der. and if elected to seat in the Sem
ate, as we confidently expect he will be,
he will, at once, take position among
the very first public men in the State.
Mr.. Anderson, of Grass Valley, is ao-
knowledged, by all who know him, to
he gentleman of much finer acquire
mcnts. and more force of character, than
has usually been found among our Leg
islators. He is now engaged in the oc-
cupation of mining, and is not only pos
sessed of fine collegiate education, but
is an able and effective public speaker
and dcbater. He will make dignltied
and influential member Of the Assembly,
and will represent the County honorably
and ably. His private character is e1-
cellent and unsullied.
Frank Woodward, of San Juan, made
an exceedingly favorable impression up
ON the Convention. His appearance,
his manners, his conversation, and Ill
fact the striking evidences of good sense,
shat stick out all over the man, made
MIN a host of friends, and won tie con-
fdence Of all. To simply see him, is all
that IS necessary to convince every one
that he * eminently qualified for the po-
sition Of an Assemblyman.
j. NJ. Cunna,d Of Eureka. The very
great enthusiasm With which the Eure-
ka delegation pressed the claims of Mr.
Cunnard, is conclusive evidence of his
high standing among thosn who best
know him. He has been a miner in Ne
vada County since 1851, and is a young
gentleman of excellent education, sue

ter. 1t would be difficult to find mar
who would be fairer representative o.
the intelligent mining population of thi.
County.
E.J. Pike of Little York. This gen
tleman will add much to the strength O
the ticket in his part of the County
Bold, generous, enthusiastic, and tho.
oughly American, he will do much t'
arouse the luke-waIm, and set the IN
dolent to work. OF fine acquirements-
a son of old Yale-and decided talent
he will make splendid campaigner an,
an efficient legislator.
Joseph Heritage, of Rough and Rea
dy. is so well acquainted throughout the
County, that all we could write OF hin
: known already. Suffice 1t to say
that no better nomination could possibly
have been made, aud that there is not a
,atter. truer, or more whoie-souieo
