Oar Nominees.

county upon the harmonious termination
Of the labors Of their county convention,
and the impartiality of that body in their
selection of candidates for tho Offices to
be voted for at our next general election
In their selection Of gentlemen to fill
these Offices, they were controlled 10y
spirit Of concession always cOmnendablc:
nor did they forget the duty they owed
to gcntlemanly propricty as is evidenced
by the selections. We have nominated
q ticket that has given universal satisfac.
tion-a ticket that will be warmly, hear
tily, enthusiastically suppOrted-a ticket
that is unobjcctionable and will draw out
the full strength of the Democratic party.
Nearly all our nominees are old settlers,
identified with the interests of the coun-
ty, permanent citizens and having their
all with us. We make no special dcsig-
nation, as all are equally entitled to our
regard and warm support. 1t is proba-
BILE that we would have selected different
persons butthe nominees Of our party will
Away find in us ardent advocates. A
nomination by a Democratic convention
is and always has been sufficient en-
dorsement for us.
Knowing the political views of nearly
oil the nominees, having seen them in ev-
cry relation Of life, we are prepared to
yield them our support with all the cin-
cerity of honest faith. They have bat
tied for and with the Democracy in ad-
versity and prosperity; they have stood,
and now stand, shoulder to shoulder with
the friends Of the Administration; they
maintain, in all its integrity, the princi-
pie Of the Kansas.NebraSka resolutions
which teaches, that man. In or out Of a
territory, is capable of selEgovevnmcnt;
competent to decide as to the character Of
the domestic institutions which shall ex-
list among them. They have battled
against sedition and the various isms that
have risen with the view Of striking at
the foundation Of our government. They
now are prepared to battle against the
last but most dangerous foe that was ever
organized for the purpose of subverting
the constitution. The Democracy of FL
Dorado county, we are proud to say, arc
delighted with their candidates and are
prepared to enter the field of contest with
buoyant hearts and bold front. Their
officers are men whom they delight to
sustain; nor is there man who can say
ought against any one Of them which is
calculated to initiate against their integ-
.rity.-Some of them have discharged
public duties with credit to themselves
and satisfaction to their constituents
For this they are reaping their reward by
denominations - additional manifesto.

-Upto tho present moment we have
heard but few objections raised against
any of these gentlemen. 1t is true that
our opponents are attempting to create
disscntions, by circulating false and ri
diculous charges, but the Democracy
treat them with supreme contempt. Our
candidates have been long amongst US
have now the confidence and esteem of
the masses, so that everything about them
is familiarly known to all. Some may be
disposed to grumble because they werc
not the favored parties. To these gentle
men we will say that all applicants can
not be selected to fill ono place. The
merits Of every aspirant were fairly can
vasscd by those who had the right to vote.
None were actuated by spirit Of personal
hostility. The motive which induced the
result was Of a higher nature. The con-
trolling principle which produced the
present result was the general success OF
our ticket. In every State in this Union
there are to be found men who imagine
themselves peculiarly qualified, especial
ly picked out for responsible positions,
and suppose that every person must think
with them. AS this world is full Of diff
ferences Of opinion, the people found it
necessary to form primary conventions to
whom is delegated the power Of selecting
such men for Offices as, in their honest
judgment, is best calculated to ensure
success and promote the prosperity of the
community in which they reside. The
fairness which characterized the delibcr-
ations Of our convention is made patent
by the nominations. That they had the
success of the Democracy N heart is an
irresistible conclusion from careful ex.
animation Of their labors.
We are confident that all true Demo
Gratis are satisfied with the nominees; nor
do we know of any who feOl chagrined
because of their aspirations not being
gratiied. We speak in this manner be-
cause some outside Of our county may
feel displeased at the i'll success Of their
ambitious friends. To these NC address
Ourself and say that, in county where
there are few offices and many aspi-
rants, large body must be disappointed,
