UNION REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The action Of the delegates chosen by the
members Of the Union party to express their
will and preference has placed in the field
the ticket which we hoist to-day. The Con-
venton which presented this ticket was large
and full representing all portions of the
county, and mainly composed of substantial,
reliable, and intelligent men. That they
acted as they conscientiousy thought best
for the success of the Union cause. we ear
nestly believe; that they acted wisely and
well, we freely leave their fellow citizens to
determine at the ballot box.
As far as we have been able to learn, and our
facilities are good, the result Of the Cenven
ton has been generally we'll received, and
the opinion is universal among reliable
Union men that it will be elected from top
to bottom by handsome majority.
As to the personnel of the ticket. we
have. fret, JOHN S. Follansbee, a gentleman
we'll known to our people, he having been
resident of Shasta before and ever since the
County was organized Having at various
times been chosen to FIJI responsible official
positions. he has always succeeded in giving
satisfaction wherever placed, and the plaudit
of well done. good and faithful servant of
the people," has always been accorded him
by his admirng constituents. just in the
prime of life, with mind we'll cultured and
stored with information gained by study and
experience, he is well fitted to adorn pc
sitions far above any to which he has ever
yet aspired. His familiarity with parlia-
mentary rules, and his forcible, logical and
engaging style of address, will always en-
sure him hearing. and enable him to make
his mark in our State Legislature. As an
early pioneer-as good and useful citizen
-as man of moral worth stainless rep
