ANTI LEcoMPToN NOMINATIONS
The following are the nominations made
by the recent convention of popular
Sovereignty Democrats at Sacramento.
For Governor, John Currey, of Sola-
no. For Lietunant Governor; John Cor
ness of Ell Dorado. For Judge of Su-
preme Court. Royal t. Sprague of
Shasta.
For Clerk Of the Supreme Court, Jo-
seph Powell, of Sacramento. For Con-
gress. Joseph C. McKibben, of Sierra.
S. A. Booker, of San Joaquin.
For State Treasurer, ID. R. Ashley, of
Monterey. For Controller, George
Pearce of Sonoma.
For Attorney General, E. Steele of Sis
kiyou. For State Printer, John ONE
ara of San Francisco. For Surveyor
General James Long, of Butte.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, A. II. Meyers. of Alameda.
John Currey, is an excellent man in
every respect, rather sound than brilliant
slow but sure, and would make a better
Supreme Judge than GtvelI or. in our
opinion. His proper place on the ticket
is that occupied by Sprague. He is not
bad nominee for Governor, howe yer,
by any means.
Jolr Con, ess sc7e Ct Tie very sharp
est parlianentalians this Or any other
State, and will make if elected thorough
ly competent president of the Senate.
On the floor few can cope with him in
managing skill, or rival him in determin-
alton and energy. He has seen some
service.
Royal L. Sprague we believe to be an
honest man of ability. He is, however,
TOO rrolis in arguemcnt, and we fear a
rise in the price of paper should lie be
elected. Judging from his forensic eff
urts and reports and disquisitions upon
finance, his opinions from the bench upon
an intricate mining question would rival
the brieft thirty column letter of Governor
Wise on popular sovereignty. Sprague
might have been safely nominated for
the Treasury department where his as
siduity in collecting statistics and auth
critics could have been ventured upon
the public once year.
DIR. Powell is fully qualified for the
post of Supreme Court Clerk, and we
may add, few can be turned out to beat
him on the stump. The Doctor is one
of those "whose head 1.-THE part not bald
is siIvered over with age, and long ex-
periencc made him sage"
For Congress Joseph G. McKibbeu
has earned the nomination from the hands
and hearts of his fellow citizens. lie has
scorned the favors of power, slrunk from
no responsibility in maintaining what he
believed to be right, and has come out
ola most trying ordeal from which few
could have come uncontaminated. pure
and unspotted. That nomination is
worthy ofthe better days of the Repub-
lie.
Gen. Booker, the other candidate for
Congress, is a gentleman of intellectual
vigor and polish. His manners are
courteous and winning. is a fine orator,
and under different circumstances his
nomination might have been polite
one. From not very extended ac-
quaintance we hold him in high esteem,
but prefer for public reasons, if for no
other, Colonel Baker in his place:
D r. Ashley, is the best man for any
position on the ticket. His name onght
to be the first OH it, possessing as he does
most ultimate knowledge of State af-
fairs in every department, and invested
with infexible will and executive talents
of the highest order. The gubernatorial
power in his hands would be welded for
the lasting good of the State. 1t is a
source OF regret to many of his friends in
this county that he is assigned to so
unlmportant post as that of State Frea-
surer.
John O'Meara. is a capital printer to
the State. and it is unsafe to make a
change. His nomination we can en-
dorse.
The other nominees of tue Anti Le-
comptons we know little or nothing of
and deem it prudent to say less.
Take it all in all the ticket is good
