The Democratic Nominees.

The Democratic Nominees.
1t is with feelings Of pride that, to-day, ve
place at the head Of our columns the Demo
cratic State Ticket nominated this week at
Sacramento. 1t is one that will meet the
appreciation Of the people, and already,
they are manifesting their satisfaction and
10y over the nomination of this, the best
ticket ever presented for the support Of the
ncople Of California. The great Democratic
masses lndorse it from the bottom OF theil
hearts; and enthusiastic ratification meeting:
and the thunder tones Of cannon are the pre-
paration. notes OF victory.
Oaliiornia's favorite, JoES B WELLER
beads the column. With him are associated
men who are honest patriotic, and worthy
our full support; and with whom we are des-
tined to win a glorious victory. The "moun-
tains are bowling" for Weller, Walkup, and
the whole ticket.
We are indebted to the columns of the
State Journal for brief sketch of the nom-
necs.
Our nominee for Governor, who has made
known his fitness for the Office by Il series of
public services rendered during the past
twenty yeara-who whether in Congress or
on the Rio, Grande, whether on the frontier
or in the y. S. Senate, has maintained the
same deserved popularity, and displayed the
same ability to serve the interests OF lis
country.
No man could better command the suf-
frages of the people for the office of Lieut..
Governor than Joseph Walkup His known
honesty and integrity, his knowledge of par
liamentary rules gained by experience in our
own halls of legislation, fit him to preside
over a body with whose past and recent his
tory he is SO perfectly familiar. His cool
Judgment and sagacious in elect have often
been observed in our State councils and
whc we'll calculated for an adviser, he is no
less prompt and useful in action. The man
ner in which he has fulfilled other official
stations affords him full, Recommendation
for the position which he now seeks and to
which the people by their votes will call him.
The selection Of Stephen ]. Field as our
candidate for the Supreme Court, is most
fortunate. He is a man we'll known to the
people of this State, and his talent, legal
ability, and character for integrity of pur-
pose, are fully commensurate with the duties
Of the position. His cminence as jurist
honorable course and strict integrity, have
rendered him worthy the honor which the
Democracy have been pleased to show him
in this nomination. The paople will ratify
the same in the rendering Of their judgment
in September. He holds. by common con,
sent, front rank in tho legal profession, and
bis ambition desires nothing beyond the op-
portunity which will now DO afforded him
He will confer honor and dignity upon the
position for which he is SO cminently fitted
and his selection may, as we stated at the
beginning, be considered as most fortunate
for the party and the State.
We do not believe there is man in the
State who will pretend to deny to j. w
Vaudeville, all the qualities necessary to the
office Of State Controller. No man is bet
tor acquainted with State affairs, and no pub.
lie man has ever exhibited moro untirine
zeal in carrying out the views which he en-
terests of the people. He is untiring, watch

long continued services, which form a large
portion Of the history Of our State tho De-
mocracy recognize tho acts Of a faithful pub
lie servant, whom they arc determined to
reward. His personal character is above
suspicion, and his tried integrity will recon-.
mend hiln to the full confidence Of his party.
Thos. II. Williams, nominee for Attorney
General, has, during his residence in this
State, devoted himself entirely to the duties
Of his profession, and has won for himself a
prominent position as q lawyer. lie has
filled with much credit to himself, and to
the satisfaction of his constituents, the ian
portant office of District Attorney and is
well prepared TO enter upon the duties which
pertain to the position for which he has re-
ceiyed the nomination. lie is an able speak
cr, u. close thinker, aud will render himself
Of incalculable service to the State in the
capacity oflegal adviser and advocate.
