for the election Of fifteen delegates to the
State Convention to be held in Sacramento
on next Tuesday, the nomination of Sena
tor, three Assembymen, Superintendent
of County Schools, County Supervisor for
the lst District, and County Central Com
mittees.
AS this Convention will he composed Of
good, substantial citizens and true men, we
expect their selections for all these posli' ms
California has experienced too frequently The
misfortune of electing incompetent and ex-
travagant Legislators, whose acts have de-
pIeted the Treasury, and caused heavy tax
alton upon the people, without correspond
ing benefits. In the selection of candidates
the Convention should see to it we'll that the
nominees fill the Jeffersonian requirement of
competency and honesty. In nominating
Supervisor, ian officer Of the utmost impor
lance III County sffars,) the selection should
fall upon man Of good business habits, and
known for prudence and economy. Such
man will save the pockets of taxpayers, and
reduce taxation below The present onerous
rates.
Any resolutions the Convention may
adopt, to he faithful to the history OF the
party, will be broad and national and in d.
rect opposition to the tene,s of Republican
ism, which are narrow, sectional, and de
structive Of the perpetuation Of the Govern
ment, the rights Of the States and the people
