AN UxExCEPTroNABLE TICKET.

The Republican County Convention,
which met and adjourned last Tuesday,
surprised friends and opponents alike by
the wisdom and harmony of its action.
A more earnest, unselfsh body of men
never assembled in convention in Trinity
county. One and all were animated by
a desire TO seek the best men in the Re-
publican ranks for the various county Of
fees. The ticket nominated by the Con-
vention never was excelled in this county
at any time by any party. The nomin-
nees are all picked men, fit representa-
tives of the bone and sinew, welfare and
intelligence of Trinity county.
4. d. DRAPER, for Assembly, resides
at Trinity Center, and is miner by oc-
cupation. Mr.. Draper is a gentleman of
excellent information, fluent talker and
fully up to the Jetfersonian standard
He is honest, capable, industrious, and
his character is unimpeachable. He is
identified with the county, and the only
objection which can possibly be urged is
that he is not a capitalist and is only
a miner. We do not doubt the verdict
Of the people.
A. L. CORPUS, nominee for Clerk, is
one amongst thousand. He has been
merchandising in Trinity and Shasta
counties for many years. Andy Corbus
never had a customer who is not friend
TO him to-day. A large majority Of the
people of Trinity county support Mr.,
Corbus for Clerk in preference to any
one else. 1t will be honor enough for
anybody to give Corbus close race.
For Sheriff j. w. PHILBRooK is put
forward, and everybody knows the man.
Scores of men are sorry they did not vote
for him two years ago and will more
than make it up this time. Phlbrook is
the man the people want for Sheriff.
Ii. NJ. PERHAM, nominee for Assessor,
is as competent and trustworthy candi-
date as could have been selected. The
Office of Assessor is an important one, and
Mr. Perham can be depended upon to
perform the duties of the office.
A. r. EARL, of Douglas City, is again
the candidate for District Attorney. Mr..
Earl received good many votes two years
ago and did no clectioneering on New
River. He is certain of a few more votes
this year, because he is better known.
Earl could always run well at home, but
will beat himself little as well as his op-
poncnl this time.
f.. 7. MCCAUsLAND, candidate for re-
election as Treasurer, is one OF Natures
noblemen. 1t is unnecessary for us to
set forth his merits. The people of Doug
las City and Weaverville in particular,
and the inhabitants Of the county in gen.
eral, know him well, and no more need
be said. He has not an enemy among
man, woman, chick, or child in Trinity
county.
For Superintendent of Public Schools
w. B. LovETT, of Hay Fork, was re-
nominated. He received "a handsome
majority two years ago, and no COM
plants have come to our ears since. He
has shown himself to be competent and
attentive. What more does the public
ask?
w. II. BACHELOR was nominated for
the third time for Coroner, without any
solicitation on his part. The Convention
endorsed him as a good and faithful pub
lie servant. Mr.. Bachelor will get more
votes than anybody else for that office.
The nominee of the convention for
County Surveyor deserves special men
ton. Mr.. o. NJ. LoyERIDGE is probably
generally known throughout the county
by reputation, and at the same time is but
little acquainted individually. Mr.. Love
ridge is frst-class surveyor and mining
engineer. We have had many strangers
to look at our mines during the past
eighteen months. Nearly all Of these
parties have been induced to visit lis
through the efforts of Mr.. Loveridge. In
few years Trinity will be one Of the
foremost counties in the State. We shall
not 60 into particulars now, but when the
prosperous era has arrived, above all
others we will ascribe the credit to O. NJ
Loveridge.
These names compose the Republican
nominees. 1t will already be understood
that we regard the ticket as strong one
in fact, the very strongest that could
be put forward. We think it would puz-
zle any one to suggest better man for
any place on the ticket. We do not ex-
press this opinion as partisan. 1t is the
opinion of the friends and neighbors ot
the various nominees, and they will make
it publicly known next Septem Der at the
ballot box. The men nominated last
Tuesday are liked by their party, are
known to the people to be trustworthy
and competent and can always rely upon
their friends and neighbors. Where
they are best known they will get tho
most votes. 1t is an unexeeptionablC
ticket, strong ticket, and a winning
ticket. Mark what we say.
