onr Convention and Nominations,

of Placer county met in Convention at Au
burn and pnt in nomination the ticket
that we place at tie mast head to-day. We
have seen many Conventions in the county,
but never one that could excel it in the char
acter of the de'eeat $ present They were
the old line Democrats-the men who have
fought with and for tie party in victory and
defeat-who have been noted for their strict
adherence to Democratic faith and practice.
They were, also, from the substantial men OF
the county-our old, respected, and intu-
entail citizens This was generally remarked
by the spectators, who did not hesitate to so
express themselves without regard to their
own party predictions.
From such a body of men the nomination
of strong ticket was to be anticipated, and
in this they have met public expectation.
From top to bottom it is strung-the nom-
nees are all old citizens. men of unexception-
able character, a portion of whom have
heretofore, in honorable positions, served the
people Of Placer county and the State, with
ability and fidelity. They are the men to
compose winning ticket, and with them
the genuine Democracy of Placer will
march to certain victory. Already we have
responses from different portions Of The
county from our friends, wEo express their
satisfaction, and give every assurance OF the
perfect triumph Of the ticket.
OF orr nominees it is scarcely necessary
to speak in detail. Most of the names
are familiar to every voter in the county.
1t. Gov. Walkup, the war-horse of Democ-
racv, has been honored before with position
by the Democracy of the county and State.
He is a tower of strength. Messrs Lowell
Beach, and Makins were elected 10y overwhel-
ming rnaiorties last year to the Assembly,
and made Industrious and able Representa-
tives Mr. Vance of Yankee Jim's appears
for the first time before the people To
know him is to like him; and in his own
community is highly respected. Col. s. Is.
Miller is popular everywhere; and hundreds
of bis political opponents are determined to
vote for bm, for the Sheritfally. No man
in the county is so well qualified to fill the
Experience and ability makes him the pop
ular ia, orie for the position. II. W. Starr
of Gold Hill, is the candidate the people
want for Treasurer, because they know his
sterling integrity. Louis S. Motint, Of Bath,
for Recorder although not generally known,
is well recommended, and will make an in
teIigent and dIicent officer. james An
derson for District Attorney, has reputa-
ton far beyond the boundaries of the coun-
tv. As Senator he was among the frs;
and he is the man taxpayers need for the
far, l,.h b., ,c nOp,iDot al Nj II VI !

avery ono, and are generally respected.
With tnis ticket the Democracy will 90
MO the campaign certain of success. Every
nan will peel for the fight and work with y
will knowing that the 9Th Of November
