Tho State Tickets. County Senatorial
and Assembly Candidates, and Candidates
for County Superintendent and District
Supervisors are before the people for cleo
ton or rejection, on Tuesday the 5th No
vember. OF the State Tickets we have
nothing more to say. We are pleased with
All the candidates So far nominated in the
county. The utmost caution has been Ia
ken BY the conventions which nominated
them, for the reason that nomination in
Grant County is certain to result in election
Or confirmation by the people, especially
when good men are nominated.
Scarcely any party bias, we think none,
was observed at the County Convention
which dominated candidates for Senator,
Superintendent ard Supervisors. This
was right. Party bias may have swayed
at the Assembly District Conventions, for
the reason that democrats failed TO take
part or manifest willingness to come III
and help.
MmAs K. YOU'VE, the candidate forSen-
ator, was in the Assembly some years ago,
and, we believe made very good member.
lie is a firm, fixed, faithful, man, rather
grabbed at times, and set in his notions;
not so bigotted but that reason and persua-
sion may have just weight upon his mind;
not contrary but rather firm in the right,
perhaps dangerous, should his conceived
notions Of right happen 10 be wrong. As
a legislator he will do what he conceives to
be right and duty-therefore, he will he
seldom wrong and never vary from the
strictest rules Of morality. His naturtl
abilities are Of 4 superior order, his ednca-
ton thorough, and mind well stored with
general information. acquired in the school
Of experience and from books. He is prone
to criticise and doubt, therefore, rejects too
freely, often appearing illiberl AMI cold
towards the many lights that tighten the
world IN the eyes Of those who less doubt
and criticse. Hespeaks freely and with
out concealments, is manly, incapable OF
intrigue or lneanness. All considered, he
has all the essential qualities of good SER
ator, especially when there are to be so
many about him at Madison, ready, wiling
and prayerful to b. seduced with money,
fiattery offers Of glory, office, DC.
Dawn PARSONS, candidate for Super
intendent, is qualified for the station. He
possesses great energy, is devotedto educa-
ton and schools, aud has had a score Of
years Of experience, l.. the school ROOM
Like most teachers however that have been
lords Of the school-Pedagogues for half
a life, ha IS impressed with notions which
might Seem vain and airs which might
seem to fix self-esteem as the ruling organ
Of lis righteousness to people VINO have
never observed these pectliaiities of most
living professional school masters. But
these are good, rather thar Objectionable
parts, so We regard them. One thing, he
promises if elected to give his entire time
to the work Of his Office, therefore, will re-
sign his place as Principal Of Tatlon Col.
Seminary.
The supervisors nominated are good
men, all Of them; perhaps they may be
faulty in this. thai they will be such severe
economists as to appropriate for no purpose
except where compelled, and thus allow
bridges and all TO 90 TO ruin in order to
cheaper taxes. Well knowing the men,
we can think Of no other wrong they are
liable to do.
