forty candidates are in the field for different Off
cos TO be filled in this county next month. Some
are subject to the nomination of conventions
some are running Independent, dscarding party
landmarks, and some, as Holmes, Of Mariposa
say, care floating upon the course Of human
events" Jealousy and bitter feeling is being ex-
hihted to considerable extent, even among
those who profess the same political creed, all of
which is unhealthy and prcjudicial TO communi-

thankful that all cannot be elected, and shall be
glad when election is over. and people generally

The Senatorial Question.

The late Democratic Convention in Humboldt,
as we had reason to expect, deny the right of
Trinity to the Senatorial nomination this year,
and, accordingly, nominated James T. Ryan, a
citizen of Eureka, and one of the pioneers of
Humboldt county. Mr.. Ryan is represented by
those who know him here, as well as by the Hum
boldt press, 10 be man whose Democracy cannot
be questioned. although having taken little part
in politics heretofore, and an active and trust
the action of the Big Flat Convention positive
usurpation of their rights, and assert that Trinity
received the support Of that county in the cleo
tion of the late incumbent, with the express I'M
derstandng that they would be entitled to the
candidate this year. Mr. Jacohy, Of Union, offered
the following resolution, which was adopted
"HcSoiUed That we cannot recognize the action
of the Convention Of the Senatorial delegates Of
Trinity county, held at Big Flat, on the lst Of
July, as of any binding force upon the party ot
this county, it being in direct violation of our
just rights, and we hereby protest against the
ton OF the said Senatorial Convention, and refuse
to support its nominee"
1t is impossible to foresec the result with three
candidates for the Senate in the contest If the
people of Humboldt. as q whole, feel aggrieved
at the action of the Trinity convention, they may
unite on Mr.. Ryan and as that gentleman will
canvass Trinity county sh orty, ard probably re-
ceive a portion of the vote, his election over the
two opposing candidates may be the consequence.
