To-day we proudly place ut the head Of our
columns the nominees of the Democracy Of
Ell Dorado county The ticket is one Of which
the Democratic party may we'll be proud, and
the people confidently rely upon to represent
their will in the next Legislature 1t is the
strongest and by far the most popular ticket
that has beenlpresented to the people for their
SURFACES for long time past. 1t is ticket
of which every true hearted, Union-loving.

ticket that must receive the earnest, enthuSi-
astic, unanimous support Of the gallant De-
mocracy Of Ell Dorado. ticket unobjcction-
able and creditable alike to the county and
the party.
It is true that it may contain the names OF
some who are not universally known through
out the county, but it does not contain the
name of single individual who is not the
most esteemed and respected where he is the
best and most intimately known. They are
all true National Democrats, old citizens, and
fully identified with the interests Of the county
We ask the people to carr fIlly note the stcr-
ling character of each man on the ticket, and
ascertain whether to his hands the cause Of
Democracy and popular sovereignty as we'll

may not safely be entrusted. We ask Of
Democrats who were not present at the Con-
vention, that they will make enquiries and
satisfy themselves of the source from which
these nominees derive the right to claim that
they are the legitimate representatives Of the
party in this county. Fortunately, number
of DISTINGUISHED gentlemen, from various por-
tons of the county, were in Placcrvile during
the Convention, who have personal knowledge
of all that transpirod. Their testimony must
be so conclusive that we suppose no one will
have the hardiheod to question that the tick
ct we..now present is the "REGELARD DEM.
OCRATIC TICKET.
The candidates will engage vigorously i'll
the contest, and have right to expect and
will receive the aid Of their old comrades, and
also of all of other parties who are dctermin'
ed to crush down sectionalism and rebukc
factionalism. The certain endorsement Of the
people by an overwhelming majority such as
has never heretofore been given any ticket
will surely reward the efforts Of such men in
such . cause-a cause dear and sacred to every
man who cherishes the principles and is am
bilious for the success Of the party Of the
Nation.
Again, Democrats of Ell Dorado, the call to
arms has sounded; your banner floats proudly,
defiantly in the faces of those who hope to
lower it only by melting sectional differ
ences among people who should be one
in sentiment and feeling, az they arc one in
name and history. You have seen how, of
late, mere pretenders of your faith have at
tempted to deceive and betray you, and how
slight vigilance has thwarted their unholy
purposes and exposed the real wickedness Of
their designs. Against such gucrrillas you
have but to be on the alert. The contempt
you must have for them may allure you into
mistaken sense of security, and they may
obtain some temporary advantage.
Muster, then, the squadrons Of the Democ-
racy, and force these political freebooters, "who
would steal the livery Of Heaven to serve the
devil in" to an open field and the victory is
yours. That our ticket will be elected by 3
tremendous majority admits Of no doubt. If
we make united and vigorous effort, and VIC
owe it to the Democracy of California, who
regard Ell Dorado as the bulwark Of Democ-
racy, and who look to her with confidence,
VIC owe it to our past victories and future
hopes, to our position and patriotism, to do
it, our whole ticket will succeed by major
ity that will cause the blush of shame to man

King David-who prefers the Boiling Brod-
erick- Republican nominees to the Demo-
cratic? All such men must, to be consistent
and honest, unite with us in putting down
sectionalism and fanaticism.
With such cheering prospects before us
prospects growing daily brighter and more
eneOuraging-with an enemy weakened, dis
hearted, dissatisfied, distrustful of each other,
jealous Of each other, we open the campaign.
Immediately after the adjournment Of the
Democratic County Convention, the District
Conventions organized and proceeded to NOM
