OUR NOMINEES.

result OF It's action may DE seen IN the tlcket
we place at the head Of our columns The
ticket is one we shall most cheertuIy and
heartily supp''i, knowing that the nominees
are men of great worth, intelligence, and
reliable upon the issues now before the coun'
try.
From a Convention co tanning he bright
array of talent So universally conceded TO it,
it WAS to haze been expecte hat the selec-
tons for candidates would be made with
excellent Judgment; and we d'uh: if a ticket
has ever before been chosen in the State that
has been accepted with SO much satisfaction
by the party it represents.
The nominee FIR Governor, John R. Nc
Council, Of Nevada, is lawyer, eminent in
his profession, highly respe, ted in all the
relations of life a d enjoys al amount Of
personal popularity at his own home that
speaks volumes in bis favor. He was at one
time Attorney General of the State, and for
years has been favorie with many for a
sea, upon the Supreme Bench. Mr. McCon-
nell supported Douglas in' the last Presiden
tial election, and canvassed actively in his
behalf. In common with the Brec kinrdge
Democracy of California, he indorses the
speech made by Mr. Douglas in the Senate
on the 10th of March last, in opposition to
istrat:on. The nomination of Mr.. Mcconnell
had been spoken of for some time previous
to The Convention, and evervw here his name
gave satisfaction.
Jasper O'Farrvll, of Marin county, the
nominee for Lieutenant Governor is one of
the substantial men Of the State. He is
an lrishman by BIRTH and one of the old
pioneers Of the S,ate-having been in Cali
tornia, we understand, as early as 1915
Mr.. O'Farrel was lately a State Senator
from the district comprising the counties Of
Marin, Mendocno, and Sonoma While in
the Senate he was considered one of the
ablest men in that body. We know him
personally, and can say with ut reserve that
his nomination is a strong one for the ticket.
Fer Sdpreme Judge W. G.. Wallace, of Ma
pa, comes well recommended lie is rep,
resented rs an able lawyer, and was so con
siLered during his residence in Sacramento
II. p. Barbo"r, of TuoIumne, a man no
ted in his own section of country for brill
liant talent, and Judge Sha,tuck, of San
Francisco, than whom there are none more
worthy, respected. or admired in the State,
are the nominees for Congress. These nom
nations hit the mark exactly.
Samuel II. Brooks, for Controller, is the
present incumbent. He has made An eff
cent officer, is a worthy gentleman, and
has gained great personal popu arity.
The candidate for State Treasurer, Thomas
Findey, is known by everybody to be the
present honest, capable and true man who
now fills the office. lie is now serving his
second term, and the people of the State if
they understand their true int, rests, will re
elect HIM. He has rescued the State Treas
ure's office from the disgrace it hal fallen
into under his predecessors, and to day no
man in the State enjoys IA brighter fame
than he. A better nomination couli not
possibly have been made.
Tod Robinson, CT Sacramento, for Attorney
General, is second to no man in the State in
point of ability. He could I'll! any otfice
within the gift Of our people with credit.
Charles S. Fairfax, was re.nominated for
Clerk of the Supreme Court. lie has AS
many personal friends as any man in Cali
foraia, and will make a strong run.
Horace a. HigIey. the candidate for Sur
veyor General, now holds the Office. The
best evidence Of his fitness for the position
is, that he be has pc: ormed his duties salts
factorily.
NJ. ID. Carr one of the proprieors OF the
Marysvile Express, is the nominee for State
Printer He is the best man now before the
people for the office, as lie is practical
printer, while neither OF his opponents are
arqua nted with the trade farther than their
positions as editors brings them near the
composing stick and press room. The State
printer should be printer, and Mr.. Carr S
An honored member o.. the craft
This is our ticket. The best one in the
field, and the one to which the Democratic
masses will rally to support. 1t is the one
representing the true principles of Govern
ment and striving for an administration Of
national affairs that will again, to our dis
tracted and unfortunate country, bring peace
happiness, and the smiles of prosperity.
Who was Right?
Immediately after Horace Smith was ar
rested, charged with homicide, most of the
newspapers in this city prejudiced his cast
in spirit that plainly showed he could moi
have "a fair and impartial trial" here. The
case was sent to Placer county for trial, and
there he WAS acquitted, to the great joy o
those who were intima e y acquainted with
