The Democratic County Nominees.

Next Wednesday the people of this county
will determine who shall fill the county offices
for the ensuing term. Hence this is the last
opportunity we shall have of speaking to the
Democracy before election.
Let every reader, Democrat or not, go with US
through the list:
VIM. P. Daingerfeld for District Judge, we
have all known since 1851. man of undoubt-
ed political integrity, an honest, upright
Judge"-expounding the law without, "fear fa-
vor or affection" he is entitled to our warm sup
port. Of his opponent, knowing nothing we
say nothing
Jonathan Logan, for Senator, is true Demo-
crat, and, if elected, unlike his opponent, Mr..
Butler, will act with the Democratic party. If
Democrats desire to be represented in the Senate
by Democrat, they must vote for Logan.
John White, for the Assembly, is an honest
miner, sound Democrat, possessed of excellent
talents, and will do credit to the party and coun
ty as Representative in the Assembly.
John S. Folansbee, for Sheriff, has never been
anything but a true Democrat. His character
before this people stands as pure as virgin snow.
His ability is unquestioned His worth as man
no one disputes.
A. Skilman for Tax Collector, since 1855 has
been one of the most earnest hard-working
Democrats in the county-his qualifications are
unquestioned-his claims to the support of the
Democracy are legitimate and strong.
John Anderson, for County Clerk, is nomi-
nation eminently q fit to have been made" Be-
ing perfectly familiar with all of the duties per-
Democracy and citizens generally will be but
serving themselves by eectng him.
Jerry R. Durick, for Recorder, stands forth as
a consistent and hard-working Democrat. Fol-
the performance of the duties of this office, in a
manner agreeable to the people and advanta-
geous to the county, he is admirably qualified
both by disposition and education.
Jas. c. Hayburn, for Treasurer, has no oppo-
sition. The people generally believe that a;
Treasurer he is the proper man in the proper
place. The mentioning of his present position
is the highest eulogium that can be passed on an
official.
James D. Nix, for District Attorney, is a con-
sstent Democrat and faithful officer. When he
came into office the debt of the county reached
the enormous sum of upwards OF $4,000. For
several years previous the debt had been in
creasing at the rate of about $4,000 per an
mum. He at once, with the assistance of the
Board of ofSupervisors puta stop to this great an
nual increase, and commenced reducing the debt
by about that amount The result of the re-
he went into the Office the debt was upwards OF
$4,000, with an annual increase of $4,000
since he has been in Office, the debt has decreas-
ed at the rate of about IS, ,Oe9 or $4,000 This
sholld certainly commend him to the taxpayers
of the county.
Dennis Dunn, for Public Administrator, is a
sound Democrat and strictly honest man. Dead
mems estates will be safe in his hands.
B. Garland, for Assessor, is an unhinching
Democrat, quiet and working citizen, man OF
the strictest integrity, and well qualified for the
Office for which he is a candidate
Dr. DeShields, for Coroner, G. K. Godfrey, for
Superintendent of Common Schools, and An
drew G. Quait, for Surveyor, have no opposi-
ton, and will of course be elected.
Thus we have run through the entire County
Ticket. VIII any one gainsay what we have
said? Are not all Of the candidates worthy of
the support of good men2 Then, we appeal di-
rectly to every Democrat who reads this article,
and ask him to vote the straight ticket. If they
are all worthy, and we know they are, there is
no excuse for any Democrat to scratch cay one
of them.
