UNION COUNTY CONVENTION

~ AA0 ~
be the promotion of the success OF the
party through their nominating discretion
and authority. The ticket put forward
is, taken as a whole, one of great strength;
and we may say it is of a character which
ensures its election.
Fred. A. Tri,le candidate for State
Senator, is a citizen who is well
known and highly esteemed by all classes
in the community. He is a man Of prac-
teal ideas, of irmness and energy as man
ifested in all his business relations. A
more generally acceptable candidate could
not have been named.
Very properly heading the list Of AS
sembly nominees is E. c. Ingham, late
Lieutenant in the Sd California Infantry,
in which Regiment he served a term Of
three years. He is a young man of fine
abilities, eminently staunch and true on
the main question and of great personal
popularity. He will go in with a rush.
J. w. Woodruff is one of our "solid
men :" a fit and able representative of the
successful pioneers of Nevada.
VIM. NJ. Cutter served in the capacity
of Assemblyman last session. He was
noted as one Of the best committeeman
and shrewdest workers in the Legislature;
and whatever the citizens of Storey county
need and deserve at the hands of the
Legislature will be urged with prudent
but unremitting determination by Mr..
Cutter. When he "goes after the pas
sage Of any particular measure, it will be
pretty sure to make the trip,-even over
his Excellency's head, if need be!
J. Vandewater is q citizen of Gold Hill
whom we all highly prize as a neighbor
and friend ; and from his Legislative
course we expect the interests Of u town
will be duly protected and promoted,
without a place for complaint against him
left for any Of our people. He is sterling
man.
Dunois Wood is an associate Of ours,
in the conducting of the News, and per-
haps it might be expected that we should
speak of him with a fellow feeling Of mod
esty. But no: we can't forbear from
saying that he is a trump Of the first mag
ni,ude; a young man of good manners,
good morals, well educated, well inform
ed in political life. We are quite prepared
to stake the honor Of the News on his
excellent behavior. TThe Foreman will
be careful and not let Mr.. Wood see the
proof Of this !!
Mr.. Glover is a resident Of American
Flat ; a town that has &C votes, of which
number only six are Copperheads. 1t is
enough to say that he is a qualified repre-
sentative, in all respects, Of so loyal and
intelligent a precinct.
John C. James is an old California Leg
%islator ; knows the ropes Of parliamentary
tactics; belongs to a distinguished race Of
radical Union incorrigibles; knows what
legislation the mining interests don't re-
quire, (the important negative matter Of
knowledge; will be a quiet but leading
man in the Delegation.
H. c. McDougal is an active, go-ahead,
never-let-up young man /; a true and dis
eliminating reprcsentative'of the special
interests of the Fire Department. Like
Lieut.. Ingham, he has a host of personal
friends. He will do much to enhance the
Union majorities; and his nomination was
deserved for past services, and was very
e~xpedient in lively appreciation Of the
services he can render in time to come.
o. II. Grey came in a nominee at the
last ballot /; on the established conviction
Of the Convention that the complement,
could not be better made up. His old
acquaintance speak in the highest term:
of him ; and the way he talks "Union
suits our very soul.
A. b. Elliott is an old citizen. Every
body hereabouts knows and respects him
for his integrity and good sense.
Messrs. Lane and Hall are worthy asso.
cia,es on the ticket.
The County Commissioner nominations
were made to guard against the possible
| construction Of the law in favor of thii
years election authority it being gener'
ally believed that County Commissioners
are not to be chosen this Fall. The Con-
vention made judicious selections, tho
same as though the offices were proclaimed
vacant within a month, for the installation
of these candidates.
Our precinct nominations we cordially
endorse. Judge Hall and Billy Began
have our congratulatory ~ on this
memorable occasion. The Judge we have
long held in personal esteem. A Justice:
Court can be made a place Of eNtortior
and revenge. In San Francisco and else.
where such tribunals have been complain
ed of as seats Of wrong. Judge Hall has,
during his term of office. conducted affairs
in his Court with universally approved
honesty and good Judgment. AS fol
Billy. our candidate for Constable, he is
as true blue as was ever begot since time
itself Began.
There is an almost unanimous sentimen,
Of commentator on the labors Of oul
County Convention by the Union folks,
And as long as our folks are satisfied,
who cares for the Copperhead grumblers
They are mad a. the excellence of oul
ucket-that's what's the matter with them
to-day. They are the only ones who
could see an eclipse of the sun on thi:
beautiful Indian summer morning.
How many hundred majority shall We
topple over on the Co~pperheads this Fall
That's the only question in reserve.
