The Placer herald., 1873-08-02

Placer, honest a. any man who ever broke
a cracker, competent in the highest sense OF
the word. His word is better to-day than
eli the bonds of any Treasurer the county
eve, lad. He is, and has been for long
time, carrying on the butcher business, at
Lincoln, and is known and universally pop
ular all over that section Of the county.
We dislike to take him from his business,
and from his friends, in that section Of the
county, but the fiat has gone forth, and
next September the people will say: Erred
youmust come aup to Auburn, count the
county money and see if''itis all right, and
take care ofi for the next two years"
c. J.IBRowN,
of Dutch Flat, is the nominee for District
Attorney. AMr. Brown is an attorney at
law who has been practicing in our courts
for some years, is a fair speaker, and his
friends, from Dutch Flat, cay be is firm
and reliable against all the wiles and temp
tations of monopolies. He will canvass
the county and speak face to face to the
public.
All. GOODRICH,
of Iowa Hill, is the nominee ffor Supern-
tendent of Common Schools. Mr.. Good
rich has been teacher no this county for
eighteen years; standing tfcr"all that time
at the head Of the profession, seeming to
take only delight in the success of our
county schools. For two terms, we be-
lieve, he filled the office Of County Super
intendent to the entire satisfaction of all our
people. He is ripe scholar, moral, cor
rect and polished geatleman, which be
never forgets, and bis whole soul is wrapped
up in ar earnest devotion to the complete sue
cess Of ailecur' county schools The nomina
ton is an eminent)y fit one to be made. Mr.
Goodrich was not present in the convention
and, though members Of different parties
in the past, it was pleasure for us to place
his name before the convention, and vouch
for his complete and entire qualifications for
the position. We hope he will not decline
as it is doubtful if the committee can supply
his place with his equal on the ticket.
COL. C. W. FINLEY,
of Auburn, is the candidate for County
Surveyor. The Col. has done about all
the work of that Office, in the county, for
the last twenty years, no matter who was
elected. 1t was said in the convention
that Col. Finley could go out in the night
and find nearly all the corners of any land
in the county. He is known to nearly all
the people in the county and needs no
special Introduction from us.
MAJOR MERRITT SWEET,
Of Ophr, received the nomination for the
Offices Of Public Administrator and Coro-
ner. He is an old resident of the county;
by occupation, carpenter and can do al
mort anything in woodwork; is honest,
industrious and competent to discharge the
duties of the positions. He is one of those
old Calfornians that can turn his hand to
almost anything, whether it requires legal
or mechan ical skill We wish these Offices
were better ones as we feel sure the Major
will be elected

dnce TO you, briefly, the names of what
