The Democratic Nominations.

presented by the Centerville GOnyentioD, and
fills the full measure of that honesty and ca
pacity required by the old Jefersonian test.
The nominees are all men who have resided
for years in this community who have thei.
homes here, their interests here, and who, in
all the relations Of life, hold an honored po-
sition among their neighbors. It is an old
saying, "If you wish to find out all the evil
about a man, run, him for Office" This ticket
will stand that test, too, as we'll as any ever
nominated by any Convention. Like the i'm
perishable pyramid or Egypt's plains, it de-
6es the destructive ingenuity Of the most ma
lcious invention, and the merciless assault
of the BIO dest of its enemies. 1t gives to the
County list of officers whom the public
knows it can trust. They are just such men
as are wanted to administer the public affairs
of Boise County. Politically, they are old
and staunch in the true Democratic faith
In the times that tried mems souls they fought
the good fight, standing up. boldly along the
.serried, Broken line, unawed by domestic
treachery, unappalled by the 6ercest storms.
Fhey are such men as brave men love to see
rewarded. They fought gallantly for others
in the dark days when hope was almost ex-
tinguished;. and as brave soldiers in Ahe good
cause, they are entitled to all the support
which true and tried Democra: deserves
from the Democratic party.
For Councilman, Hon. E. A. Stevenson
was unanimously nominated. He is an old
Democratic veteran, an experienced legisla-
tor, an able parliamentarian, an active and
prompt business man, and citizen respected
by all parties. He represented the county of
Tehama, Call, at one time, 10. the Legislature
of that State, and is well known by hundreds
here from that quarter. He has resided in
this County, near Pioneer, for three years,
engaged in mining. His practical knowledge
as legislator, and as a miner, will give him
great influence in the place which be will

The nominees. Ton the House were chosen
from. every portion of the County, and from
different pursuits. They are all men who
exercise.a large influence in their respective
precincts. In their private capacttics, as cit
izens, they stand we'll. They are public
spirited citizens, foremost in all efforts to
promote the public welfare, and are all de-
servedly popular men, who will gain many
votes from. even those who differ from, them
politically.
Or. Crutcher, the nominee for Sheriff, is
well known here, and we have never seen
a man yet who did not yield to him the merit
of having filled, the Office during the past
year with credit to himself and the County.
He was appointed to the Office and took
it incHmbered with some endorsements,
through which he has struggled successfully
in manner that has won the approval of all.
The Republicans have had much to say about
County affairs, but not one of them can point
his finger to a transaction of Mr.. Crutcher's
which is not creditable to him. His record
is. clear. The most inveterate of political
enemies are compelled to admit it. He has
discharged the duty of Sheriff honestly and
The times have been occasionally
during his administration, but the
blended 6rmness and prudence with which
he has acted soon restored peace, and COM
PEELED even his foes to give him the credit of
being good officer.
Mr. Wickershan, the candidate for County
Auditor and Recorder, is emineutly adapted
for the position. A clear-headed account
ant, prompt and precise in his records, with
an unblemished character and an indomita-
BILE energy, guided by the. light Of a large ez-
perience in an adjoining State, he will make
a splendid officer.
The same may truthfully be said of Frank
Britten. Everybody in his part of the county
knows him, and likes him. He will represent
the unterrified Democracy of Pioneer City
or the ticket, and ably in the office
to which he will be elected. The Office of
Assessor is an important one, and Mr.. Britten
will ill it efficiently.
OF Mr.. J. W. Wood, the present incumbent
of the Office of County Treasurer, who was
nominated for that Office, we will only say
that the entire community, composing all
