Our State and County Ticket.

To-day we place the Democratic State and
County nominees at the head of our columns
and point to them with PRIDE as men that
can and will receive the support of every
genuine Democrat, and many Others who
have not heretofore acted with the Democ-
racy.
For Supreme Judge, is presented the name
of Joseph p. Baldwin, of San Francisco, a
gentleman whose legal abilities even our
opponents speak of in terms of high COM
mendation.
The candidate for Controller of State, is
A. R. Meloney, late Senator from San Joa-
quin and Contra Costa counties, who is spo-
ken of by those who know him best, as a
man well fitted for the position.
At the head of the county ticket, for Sen
ate, is James Anderson, ESQ., who so ably
and honestly represented the county last
winter, in the same branch of the Legislature.
He reflected credit upon himself and his
county, and the people have determined to
send him back by large majority.
On the Assembly ticket is VIM. G. STRAIT
ton, Of Dutch Flat, one of the old members.
His nomination is an Endorsement of the
action of the delegates on the engrossing
Kansas issue of last winter. He was a GOOD
member-firm, attentive to his duties, and
| independent. His former experience will
be OF much benefit to him in another session.
Mr.. Barclay is a new man in the political
arena, but comes we'll recommended, as a
young man of ability, integrity, and indus
try. His nomination is regarded as an ex-
cellent one. Mr.. b. is resident of Iowa
Hill, where he is engaged in mining. Philip
Lynch, Of Secret Ravine, is well known
throughout the county. lie is one of the
oldeat residents, throughly identified with
the interests of the county, and an unswerv-
ing emocrat through sunshine and storm
w. T. Wing, of Beal's Bar is a miner and
at present a magistrate in Township No. l.
He Mas brought out by his friends, and re-
ceived a tat'ering vote in Convention.
lie bears the reputation of being practi-
cal man, and of coming up to the Jefferson
ian test-"being honest and capable"
We might speak in detail of the qualifi-
cations of the other candida es, but the peo

we do, as from our test and oldest citizens
and well qualified for the positions to which
they are nominated. There are no weak
men among them.
Altogether it is the best ticket ever nom
mat d in the county, and from all quarters
we hear Of it meeting hearty Endorsement
from the people. And furthermore it is a
winning ticket-there is not a man on it but
will be elected by a large majority. We'd
nesday, the first day Of September, will prove
this.
AS it is a ii, ket that every Democrat can
work for with will, we want 20 see no
agging, but every man a. his post. doing
duty. Democrats work for the ti>k >ket from
now until the election.

can in truth be sal to come as near being
entitle! to the above appelIation as any ever
presented to the voters Of Placer With the
exception of two or three, we look in vain
for the names of men who are sufficiently
identified with the permanent interests and
development OF the county, as to be prevent
ed, at short notice, from going where incli-
nation might take them. number of them
may be considered as mere sojourners, not
men who have made their permanent abodes
among US. From this, we would not argue
that nominees should be large property hol-
ders before entitled to official position in our
county, but do conclude that voters will ask
and require from men who present themselves
for office, that their residence here shall not
be contingent upon getting their living from
the public treasury.
Aside from this wanted requisite in the
ticket we find it weak, decidedly weak, in
point of ability. 1t will be the scrub horse
in the race.
ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR lS5S.-The County
Assessor returned the Assessment Roll for
1853 of the property of this county, on
Monday last. The amount foots up to
$3,l7O693, The full assessment last year
was S2,12l,s36 3s-this makes an increase
for the past year of $S57,S56 so. A sup
Elemental tax roll, yet to be returned will
make this increase more than 81 100000
The above is telling evidence Of the increas-
ing prosperity of Placer county, and the in
dustry and efficiency of our present Assessor,
}. W. Spann, Esq, and his deputies. A few
such returns from the mining counties of
the State, as the above, would leave no op-
portunity to our neighbors of the agrcutu-
raj counties to declare that they pay all the
property tax
