citizen Of Missouri, whence he emigrated to
the then Mexican province of California, in
1915, and again became a citizen of the Unit
ed States, under the stipulations of the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Although a large
landholder, and having it in his power to
have been very oppressive to settlers, Mr..
Covillaud has always exhibited kind, lib
eral and forbearing spirit in all questions
affecting bis rights as landed proprietor,
and has won by his justice and liberality
many warm and true friends. lie has al
ways been thoroughly Democratic in princi-
Pile, and cannot fail of an election. Mr..
Covillaud has his family and his all in our
midst, and is of course permanent resident
of our city.

and emgrated to Ohio in 1888 In the |

to wit l am for Douglas IN 1860, against
the ,corld the flesh and the DeyH" In 1852,
Mr. Ellison has made California his perma-
nent home. He is as good blacksmith,
and as strict a Democrat as California can
show, and will, when elected this year to the
position Of Alderman, as he will be, and as he
has been twice before act for the best inter-
ests of his immediate constituents. He can
not be defeated.

and has been in Marysville steadily for two
years, as well as having been a resident here
more or less before. lie is man of family
and is a permanent resident. His politics
were formerly those of an oldline Wing, but
he is now thoroughly identified in principle

lie is a gentleman we'll worthy of the sup
port of his fellow citizens.

Rev Mr.. Blain and Rev. Mr.. Walsworth, are

case in Boston last week. where Mr.. Ammi-
