From the Marysville Appeal.
A Good Ticket in Nevada County.

of the very best county tickets ever formed
in the State. Such is always the way to
deserve partisan success, and in this inst
ance it will insure it, for besides the fact
that Republicanism has been gaining in
Nevada on its own merits, the people of that
county always had way of voting for good
men irrespective of politics, as witness the
regular return of honest Ned Burton to the
Legislature year after year, until he went to
the States to escape the inliction
Some of the men on the ticket we pro-
pose TO speak of particularly, because We
know them, and want to give the influence
of the Appeal in their favor. They are such
men as cannot be voted against by their
nolitical opponents without compupctions
of conscience, The nominee for Senator
Joseph Kutz, Esq, is a lawyer of ability,
but sadly lacking in legal brass. He has
one of the clearest and most logical minds
most retentiye ready memory and lis
pleas are remarkable for condensed force,
directness and felicity of language. No
body can make more telling speech on
the stump, for his logic always hits the nail
on the head, his manner is strikingly sim
cere his motives never low Besides all
this Mr.. Kutz is one of the most stubbornly
honest men in the world, equally in law,
politics and business. He is one of the peo-
pie, is popular outside of his party. and will
run ahead of his ticket. He will distinguish
/ himself in the Senate by conscientious and
Jealous discharge of duty, and by stiff op-
/ position to every kind of wrongful legisla-
ton, never trading vote nor selling him
self to the lobby.
Three of the nominees for Assembly, Col.
james Collins, Jno. NJ. Avery and VIM. II.
! Sears, we know to be excellent men. Col
lins has had considerable legislative expe-
rcnce in nlinois-was n member of the
! Constitutional Convention of that great
State, if we remember rightly. and was also
a candidate for Congress, we believe, on the
Wing ticket. He has now in his possession
an elegant sword which was voted to him
by the Illinois Legislature for his gallantry
in the Mexican war Years previously he
did military duty on the western frontier
He is n shrewd, practical, competent man,
and thorough Californian, living with his
family on his own mountain farm. John
VI. Avery WAS in the last Legislature, and
was ono of its most sensible, practical, in
dustrious and useful members, leaving an
unspotted record He is a hardworking
miner by vocation, and came to California
from Maine ahoIt ten years ago. Wm. H.
Sears is one of the pioneers and most solid
men of North San Juan, where his home is
fixed. Tie has never been politician nor
Office seeker, possesses good abilities, is up
right, knows TIE wants of the State, and
will work hard to promote them by practi-
cal, honest legislation.
Mcfarland, candidate for District Judge,
is nm honorable and capable man. formerly
District Attorney, mot quite-ED y and
favorably known TT ughout the county.
J. n. Turner, candidate for collector, is
well known as the liberal mill owner. VINO
ran on the Republican ticket for Congress
in 1856. He is a whole souled, upright and
capable man.
The cand date for Clerk is R. H. Farquhar,
Esq, who is well known and liked in all
parts of :hc county, with whose growth and
| interests he has been identified since 1850.
Although an ardent Republican in the day
when Republicauism was odious, and al
ways very frank in expressing his opinions,
he was regularly elected Justice of the
Peace for Bridgeport township, and has oc-
cupied that position, with the exception of
one year, ever since his first election to it in
1855, winning wide reputation for impair
tiality, conscientiousness faithfulness and
capacity. and doing much by his single in
fucncc to give his township the law abiding
reputation it has acquired. He has been
magistrate of the old school, seeking ever
to allay neighborhood strife, to prevent
spiteful or useless litigation, and 10 shield
the simple from the snares of the designing
and INSCRIPTIONS. lie has thus secured
the affectionate confidence of good men Of
all classes, who will work and vote for him
enthusiastically. He is peculiarly fitted for
the position of County Clerk, having thor
ough knowledge of legal forms and bus-
ness, and of every kind of c!erkly duty
We predict his triumphant election.
Mr. Sykes, nominee for Recorder, is also
gentleman of high and pure character, fine
education and much personal popularity
His friends presented his name before the
Republican State Convention for Clerk of
Supreme Court, and he would probably
have received the nomination had Nevada
not been likely to be represented on the
Congressional ticket, as she really was.
The nominee for Treasurer is 6. G. Waite,
editor of the most independent and vigor-
Gus paper in the mountains-thc Nevada
Journal-and once most honest and eff
cent Senator from the same county. Eve
rybody in the county knows him to be Just
the man for Treasurer. He has always
watched the affairs of that Office, as well as
county affairs generally, with intelligent
vigilance, as the numerous readers of the
Journal know, and will manage them as
Treasurer, with first rate ability.
