UNION STATE CONVENTION.

UN1ON STATE CONVENTION
Tomorrow the State Convention will
be held at Carson, to nominate Presiden-
tial Electors, and candidates for State
Officers. Every county viii be repre-
sented, and it is to be hoped that harmony
and wisdom will characterize the delibe-
rations of the assemblage. 1t is particu-
LARRY desirable at this time that in making
nominations for candidates, that honest,
competent, and available men should be
brought out If this is done, we do not
fear the result at the polls in November.
The sentiment OF our people are for the
Union, and they are willing to extend all
the aid in their power to sustain the Ad-
ministration in its endeavors to restore the
Union and the laws over the whole coun-
Try; and in order to act consistent to-
wards the Federal Government and the
welfare of our newborn State, they de-
mand at the hands Of the Convention to-
morrow ticket composed of the right
kind of men. We trust that in making
their selections, the delegates will refuse to
listen to any candidate who will presume
to set up claims" for any nomination.
for, as we have time and again remarked,
it is an insolent presumption in any
man, or any set of men, to set up "claims"
to Office upon the grounds of having rem
dered party services. That kind Of dis
elimination among men is the sole prop
erty of the Copperhead party-and its
exercise was fully demonstrated at their
State Convention last week. Let the
Union party entirely ignore it-and repu-
date those who found their prospects
OF nomination thereon.
Without wishing to forestall the free
and the most wise exercise of discretion
on the part of the delegates, because we
have "no friends to reward nor enc
mics to punish" but as a matter of public
information, we publish the following list
of candidates who have been brought out
by their friends.
For Governor-As vet but five names
are announced. John B. Winters, of Gold
Hill. H. G. Blaisdell, $. A. Chaplin, d.
T. Turner, of Virginia and A. Curry, of
Ormsby county. As far rs we know,
these are all most excellent gentlemen,
and whichever one of them is nominated,
or a new man taken up, will certainly re-
ceire our best. support. Either of them
ought to be able to defeat and make bet
ter Governor than David E. Buel.
For Secretary of State-Three names
have been mentioned, DR.. \. S. Peck, of
Esmeralda, R. NJ. Dasget, of Storey, and
Orion Clemens of Ormsby.

For Attorney General-Wm. W. Bish-
op, a most excellent gentleman, has been

County Convention having gobbled him

ton will have good list to select from.

tons will hardly be much in order until
