The Republican Ticket.

The Republican candidate for Governor
Leland Standford-is a man Of good size, and
considerable property. He is engaged in the
oil business. He is not popular with the
masses Of those who voted for Lincoln last
November for the reason that he rendered
the Buchanan party of 1869 signal service by
| persisting in running for Governor. thereby
dividing the opposition. Besides, he went
on to Washington. on the strength OF having
beer the party candidate for Governor, and
tried to he Collector. The popular impress
s:on ia that when he found he could not get
the fat appointment he Immediately COM
menced (at Washington the fight for Gov
ernor OF this State; and that he helped all
Federal applicants who would agree to go
for him. That he even went SO far as to
help more than one man for the same Office,
has been intimated by some, but that may be
unjust. Stanford is no speaker has no legis-
lative or executive experience go far as we
can ascel tain, but is, as q citizen, SO far as we
know, very respectable man. We doubt if
a more intense partizan draws breath. This
is not to be mentioned, however, for the Re-
publicans some time ago abandoned all pre-
tensions 50 loudly made at one time, that
they wanted party ignored. and confessed
that it was the Democrats they wished to see
ignore party, and not their own people.
J. p. Chills, the nominee for Lieut. Gov
ernor is unknown to fame. He made use Of
the following extraordinary language in the
course of brief speech in response to his
nomination:
Allow me to retarn to you the thanks of
mountain people. We will come into this
campnign with a modest, unassuming air !;
we will ride through it with destruction to
any one who dares name the dissertation OF
that banner pointing TO the flag behind the
Presidents chair
We sincerely hope that the modest and
unassuming" Destroycrs will get after the
desecraters of the flag, at all times, with the
very sharpest sort of stick.
The nominees for Congress, Phelps and
Sargent, are highly respectable. Phelps was
the leader of the Republican party in the
Legislature, last winter, and is a plain. sub
stantial, careful man. lie has consderab ble
legislative experience, and though not bril-
liant orator. he has ready use of plain Eng
lish, and when he has anything to say talks
with great energy and to the point.
Sargent is prominent in his party, and is a
fair speaker.
Ashley, of Monterey, the nominee for
Treasurer, is man who enjoys good repu-
tation for honesty. He is man of more
ability than any other of the nominees, and
was the choice of some of the party for Gov
ernor.
The candidate for Comptroller. Dr. Warren,

Norton, is not now in the State. Doubts are

The nomination of F. NJ. Pixley, Esq, for
Attorney General is broad practical joke.
lie will be warmly supported by portion of
his party, but how Avery, Of the Appeal.
and he can be voted for by the same persons
we do not plainly see. If Avery is Repub-
lican, is not Pixley an Abolitonist But we
beg pardon, we have nothing to do with
this. If Pixley suits the Republican party he
will get its votes. We will at some future
time refresh the public with extracts from a
speech delivered by Pixley in Sacramento in
1859. in which the late Senator Brodelick
was more outrageously abused than he ever
was by any other man in existence.
j. H. Houghton, of Solano, the nominee
for Surveyor General, is unknown to US.
Last, though not least, the nomination of
b. P. Avery, for State Printer, is q strong
one. Avery is thorough going Republican,
and, to our mind, the most able, Industrious
and conscientious writer the party has on
this coast. The Marysville Appeal is, under
his editorial conduct, model of dignified
courtesy, and partzan zeal.
The Republicans feel very sangune, but
when the Fourth of July Convention snail
have put forth it's platform and ticket, n
change will come over the spirit of their
dream. With a sound platform and none
but staunch and undouLted men upon the
ticket, the Union Democracy will receive the
support of clear majority in the State.
