DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

IAc IdA-iuuCu PcVPic VI tHio Nouh'y, A"S
great body of the Delegates assembled were
of the most earnest, honest, and intelligent
Of our people-men representing every inter
est in the County, and determined that our
candidates should be Of the people and for
the people, and we'll did they do their work.
1t was apparent to every man present in the
Convention, that the Delegates were here
for the purpose Of giving to the people Of
Placer County ticket that would command
the esteem and respect Of all parties, and
whose names would be guarantee for good
legislation, and a faithful and economical adj
ministra.ion of County affairs. At the head
of our columns will be found the names of
our candidates, and we invite the closest
scrutiny of the public to the character,
standing, qualifications, and past record of
each one of the list Our space this week
will only permit us to refer very briefly to
the personel Of the candidates.
THOMAS B. HARrEn, for State Senator. is
an unexceptionable candidate. He has been
an honored citizen of our County almost for
the whole period since its organization; and +,
as a man, citizen and gentleman, whose
word is as good as his bond, he has no su-
perior in the County. DANIEL STEPHENSON,
for the Assembly, is a farmer living near
Roseville, a man who commands universal
respect, and will run far ahead Of his ticket
in his own section of the County. We can
guarantee that NO rascnlly measure i'll the
Legislature will ever receive the support Of
DANIEL STEPHENSON. B. F. MOORE, ofGold
Run, for the Assembly, from the second dis
trict, is deservedly popular and leading
candidate on the ticket. As man of good
habits, fine business talents, and strict nteg
rity, he has no superior and, when elected,
as he will be, he will be an honor to the
County, and take prominent position in the
next Legislature. A. w. Corr, of Damas-
Gus, s the nominee for the Assembly from
the third district Mr.. Corr has lived in the
County some eighteen years-most Of the
time on the Forest Hill divide, is a thorough
business man, well read, strictly honest and
reliable, and universally popular such,
briefly, is the ticket presented for the Legis
lature, and, taken in all its parts, 10 better
one ever was presented to the people Of this
County.
For County officers we have B. F. MYREs
for District Attorney, who, as lawyer, has
scarcely his equal in the State one whose
decisions as District Judge stood the test Of
the Supreme Court with fewer overrulings
than those Of any other Judge in the State.
The office of District Attorney is the most
important one in the County, and with Judge
MYREs' known ability, we think no voter can
hesitate as to whose name is on his ballot
Of the contrast between him and his compet-
itor we may speak in future numbers Of the
HERALD, but should we do so, it will not be
for the benefit of those who know both men.
B. d. DuNNAM, for Sheriff, is emphatically
the peoples man. Two years ago he was
elected when the party was 200 votes in
minority. A pleasant, honorable, affable,
and competent gentleman, he will be elected
this year without struggle. B.H. McCLURE,
for County Clerk, is the right man in the
right place. He is fine scholar, a young
man Of pure moral character, studious and
industrious habits, and gentleman in all
the relations of life. This nominee holds
claims upon the people Of the County and
the party, Of which we will speak hereafter.
j. b. CnrNS, for County Recorder. will in
troduee himself ere long To see him and
talk with him is all the recommendation ne
cessary. He is fine scholar. splendid
gentleman and whether you find him an
axeman, a writer, or conversationalist he is
the same--one Of Gods noblemen. For
Treasurer, we have f. G. w. ALBRIGHT, Of
Butchers Ranch. Mr.. ALBRIGHT has been
in business in this County for long years,
and has ingratiased himself in the affections,
as an honorable and fair dealing man, of all
with whom he has had dealings, or of whom
he has made the acquaintance. lie will be
elected, and will not only prove a good
officer, but a whole-souled publc-spirited
citizen. EUGENE CALVIN, for County Super
intendent Of Common Schools, is . worthy
nomination. Mr.. CALVIN is a fine scholar,
earnestly devoted to education, having been
teaching the higher branches in series Of
evening schools in this County. Should he
be elected, as he will be, the interest Of our
Common Schools will be looked to with a
care and interest that will prove satisfactory
to all parents and children. Colonel c. w.
FINLEY, for County Surveyor. is known to all
voters Of the County; in fact, Col. FINLEY
has done the business Of that Office for years,
no matter who was elected and this time,
