Butte record. (Bidwell, Butte County, Cal.) 1853-1858, 1857-07-11
w. w. Hobart.

notice OF who he is and what his qualification:
are, IS perhaps superfuous in this article
onfhce 1t to say, that after the Withdrawal
of his only competitor, Nj. Brown, he wa:
declared as by one voice, the nominee Of
the Convention. Mr. Hobart deserves thi:
confidence from the people of this county
having proved SO amply by his industry
and energy to be SO perfectly fitted for the
office, and so capable of filling it as it should
be filled. He has resided in the county since
so, has married and settled here, and is as
much part and parcel of the county as the
name she bears. 1t would be folly for any
man to contend with him for the office, and
he and the party may rest assured of his
election. 1t is by the nomination of men
like Mr.. Hobart that the Democratic tickst
is to triumph in September next.
James Hitchings.
The gentleman above named is the candidate
of the Democracy of Butte County for the
State Assembly. He is young man Of
most excellent habits, and affable, pleasing
manners. His choice was almost an unan-
imous one of the delegates assembled in
Convention, and has been very favorably
received by the party at large. Mr. Hit
chens is an old resident of Batte County
has been in the State several years and is
thoroughly identified with the interests of
the county, and viii ever use the best means
in his power to aid in her advancement We
are pleased to be assured that the county
is TO be represented by democrat of such
unimpeachable honesty and so much devoted
to her welfare. The position is n most res
ponsible one, and one which reflects honor
on its incumbent, being as H. is, the sole
representative of one of the greatest, most
populous, and prosperous counties in the
State, embracing as it does such vast area
of rich mineral and agricultural lands
The popularity of Mr.. Hitchins cannot fail
to ensure his election, and we take pleasure
in congratulating him upon the nomi nation
aud in commenting him to the people of this
county, as an upright, reliable. gentleman,
and one who, as a member of the Assembly
will faithfully represent the interests of his
constituents We shall be gratifed to chron
icle his election b. the people, and dou bt
not we shall have the pleasure of doing SO.
p, III. Harris,
Everybody that has ever heard Of Butte
County has heard of Pat. garris, and every
body who has been here knows him, and
knowing him, respects and admires him.
Perhaps there is no man in the State who
has more personal friends than he He has
been a resident of this county since the
good old days of 40 and 90 and has grown
up with her, and stands identified with her
very history His extensive practice and
his uniform success, as legal practitioner
pronounce him just the man for the Office
for which he has been nominated.
Joined to the democracy as to the only
party, he is one of the ''od
line whigs' whose patriotism dictates his
political course, ard directs him to shun the
various isms of the day as the most dan
gerous assailants of those glorious prin-
ciples upon which orr success as a nation
is based and which have been so long the
preservers of our unity AM prosperity
Mr. Harris needs none of these encomiums
at our hands. we are bat repeating the
voice of the people Of this county Ne but
mention him and others we have allued to.
to satisfy the democracy Of the State at
large, that as party we are united upon
rs strong and thoroughly democratic ticket
as has ever been offered for the suffrages of
the people That Pat Harris viii be the
next District Attorney of Butte County
none Gun doubt, and no man could be more
incumbent of the Office than he.
II. U. Jennings,
The Office OF County Treasurer is the one
ID which Mr. Jennings has been nominated
by the Democrats of Butte county. A bet
ter selection could not possibly have been
made. An old resident of Butte, tho
identified with her best interests,
aud known to be enc of the most faithful and
reliable business men of the county, he is
singular fortunate nomination, and sure as
he is Of election, we foretell his term of
office will beth result to the advancement of
the couutys welfare and rebound to his own
honor. Mr. Jennings is in fact one of the
most substantial. permanent men in this por-
ton of the State.
Such men as this are the proper kind to
select for our Offices, and so long as our pub
lie affairs are conducted by them, matters
will prosper and the county continue to
maintain her present fOnrisbipg condition.
Mr.. Jennings is not only ea;irely qualified,
but is rigidly and scrupulously honest in all
his dealings. and man in whom the conf
munity at large has the most implicit con-
fdence.
David Weaver.
Mr.. Weaver is the Democratic candidate
for Assessor. He hears high reputation
for honesty and capability, and is one of
the oldest and most worthy residents of the
valley portion of Butte county. His MAORI
ty over his competitors In convention Is out
a forerunner Of his success before the peo-
pie, as it is that of the success of
William Coffey,
Who, declared by reclamation to be the
nominee of the Convention for the Office of
Public Administrator, is by thorough ed
ucation as book keeper and accountant,
and early acquired habits Of industry, fully
fitted for the position. Mr.. Coffey's election
is beyond peradventure.
