THE TWO COUNTY TICKETs.

1
support of the Union voters.
We have for Senate, J. B. johnson and Joseph
Kutz, both residents of North San Juan. The
former is engaged with ]. F. Clark in the milling
and lumber business; has family, owns a
homestead, and is fully identified. for good or
eril, with the future destiny of the place. He is
good citizen, man of enlarged information,
and beyond doubt well qualified to reflect honor
upon the Senatorial position. Mr.. Kutz is
lawyer and single man. He has been devoted
to the Republican cause almost from its incep-
ton, and is recognized in this region, as one of
its ablest advocates and defenders. He has fine
| talents as public speaker, investigates SUBJ
ject well before committing himself to it, and is
firm even to stabborness, in maintaining point.
The party could not, perhaps, have made better
| selection.
| The Assembly ticket of the Douglas Democ-
racv is composed of ]. C. Eastman, John Web
Der, w. w. Wixom and A. j. Enders. That of
the Republicans comprises the names of j. NJ.
Avery, VIM. H. Sears, Reuben Leach and James
Collins.
| Messrs. Eastman and Avery have served one
term in the Legislature. Their record is excel
lent and we think they can be trusted. Mr..
Weber is abundantly recommended as the right
sort of man, and the same can be said of Mr..
Enders, who is ambitious to represent the coun-
ty; and that ambition, as in his case, held in
! check by high moral restraints, is an eminently
proper qualification for legislator.
| With Messrs- Wixom and Leach we have no
acquaintance. On the contrary, Messrs. Collins
and Sears well known to us as clever and
worthy gentlemen. The former served in the
Mexican war, with the rank of Colonel was pre-
sented gold-mounted sword by the Illinois
Legislature for his bravery; has used his best
efforts since the advent of secession, for the pro-
motion of the Union cause is man of strong,
clear intellect-honest in aim, incorruptble in
integrity, and has, we believe, had some legisla-
tive experience
VIM. II. Sears, or "Harry," as his familiar
friends term him, is one of our most active, en-
ergetic, enterprising, straightforward citizens.
He has a hand in nearly all local projects and
public benefactions, besides possessing family
and real estate interest, which attach him in
special degree to the future prosperity of the
place. He has also fine business talents, is fair
public speaker, and if elected to the Assembly,
would rake useful working member-just
what his constituents desire. We San Juaners,
without distinction OF paItyy must roll up big
majority for Harry. He is decidedly the right
kind of man to cling to.
The candidates for District Judge are, John l.
Caldwell and T. B. Mcfarland. A personal
1pfo If fb 1otto
to assert positively, that he is qualified in every
respect, and worthy to don the judicial ermine.
No disparagement to Mr. Caldwell is to be con-
strued from these remarks. The mere fact of
his nomination to such position, in the absence
of other proofs, is presumptive evidence of his
merit and capablity to discharge its duties.
The Douglas men have got Charley Kent up
for Sheriff; the Republicans name n. w. Knowl-
ton Charley has the advantage of wider ac-
quaintance than Knowlton. He is known all
over the county-and very favorably known
having once before been candidate (though an
unsuccessful one) for the same Office. But with
all his elements of popularity, Knowlton will
prove to be formidable opponent. He is quiet,
unobtrusire, not much of talker, but, withal,
better the better he is known.
For Collector the candidates are John Hussey
and ]. N. Turner. Mr.. Turner is said to be an
excellent selection. So is John Hussey, of whom
we have personal knowledge. The county will
suffer nothing, let which Of these gentlemen may
be elected.
B. B. Layton and R. H. Farquhar are put for
hv heir for
County Clerk. Mr.. Layton is worthy gen.
tleman-so his friends say. We have the power
to apply the same term and amplify it, in Squire
Farquhar's case. He is among our honored and
best citizens. He has already on two or three
distinct occasions been selected Justice of the
Peace by such decided majorities all COM
petitors, as to afford an idea of his popularity
among those to whom he is most intimately
known. There is only one serious charge,
believe, that can be brought against him. He is
a bachelor! It may be. if elected, he will re-
form this great sin. On all other points, we
would be willing to indorse him clean through.
Hugh B. Thompson and John I. Sykes, both
good men, are rivals for the Office of Recorder.
Mr.. Thompson is an accomplished pensman,
which is among the chief recommendations of
such an officer. Mr.. Sykes was the unsuccessful
Republican candidate last year for the Senate.
| E. G. Waite, editor of the Nevada Journal, is
| pitted against our strong man, Henry Everett,
for County Treasurer. Here is pickle for us
Before Henry had an opponent, or we
aware he would have one, we said he was as good
man as the voters could get, and that it was
useless to inquire any further for their man.
That was a true sentiment. But we have
liking for, Waite. Waite is all right.
Iago-like, hencefcrth we shall have nothing to
say as between Everett and Waite.
| Thomas P. Hawley is young man of talents
and promise. The Douglas men have nominat-
ed him for District Attorney. E. H. Gaylord is
on the opposing ticket. He is unknown to us.
| Fergus Leary and Geo. B. MCGEE are named
t. TD-xl
