ments, close student, whose character i:
above rcproach, and without the shadow Of
suspicion. He has been a resident OF
this county since 1S49, ami has occupied
the positions of County Clerk, and District
Attorney. During the past three years, he
has studiously avoided the political arena,
and confined himself to the practice of his
profession. 1t has, we believe, been conced
ed by other counties in the District that
Butte should have the honor of furnishing
candidate for District Judge Their
choice has fallen upon Mr.. Sexton, and as
such we sustain him, and ask for him the
favorable consideration of the counties
composing the District. There were other
candidates in the field for this position, sup
ported by friends as firm and warm as ever
honored men with their preference, but we
nave yet to learn that they object to the
choice of the Democracy of Butte as being
uDjustly or unfairly made. His friends
presented his name for the position and it
was endorsed by the Cow .ntion
Thomas Wells.
The nomination of this gentleman by the
Democratic convention, to the position of

Mr. WELLS is a pioneer of the county and
has filled various positions of honor and
trust since its organization. with honor to
himself and fidelity to his constituents. His
experience in the public affairs of the coun-
ty, has rendered his acquaintance general,
and if the large vote he received may be
taken as an indication, we may safely assert
that no man stands higher in the timation
of the public. He has been engaged in the
practice of the law since the spring of '55,
and his straight forward, open and honora-
BILE course and candor, as a lawyer and as
man, has won for him an enviable reputa-
ton. His election may be regarded as GER
tain. and his former course in the various
public positions which he has been called
upon tc FILL give assurance that he will &C.
cupy the judicial bench of the county with
h nor, dignity and impartiality.
