With a few notable exceptions. the
ticket is a strong one and we have nc
doubt that 4 majority of it, if not all.
will tie triumphantly elected by the
people. We shall continue to be-
lieve. until the ballots prove the re-
verse, if they do, that the Democracy
made n grave mistake in the nominal
ton of Governor Bradley. His subsi-
dy record, nepotism and 9TH
er blunders are absolutely i'll
defensible. The Mercantile Lottery
scheme defeated IIaight in Cal
isornia. With how much more
force the Nevada Lottery swindle. by
which thou sands of our toiling citizens
were robbed of their hard earnings,
Will operate against Governor Bradley,
remains to be seen. We have been
firmly of the opinion since the inception
of the canvass, that he was not tho
man for the race. We have serious
rmiSgivings in the same direction still.
We know that he is not as available
now as he was in $50. His opponent
then, Mr.. Tritle, was believed 10 be i'll
some way connected with certain
rings and cliqueS, rendering him
especially weak before the peo-
pie, and thus contributing in a
marked sense to the success of the
democratic standard bearer. \ very
different state OF affairs is presented
iii the impending campaign. DR.. IIaz-
lett, the Republican candidate, is one
Of the very strongest and best men in
the whole State. lie is just as honest
rs Governor Bradley, and being a man
of brains, which everybody knows the
former is not, will be very apt to carry
the full strength of his party, if, indeed,
he does no: make ihroads upon the
democratic vote. All through tie
campaign it will he necessary to de-
fcnd the official acts of Governor Brad
ley. 1t is seldom that II man or
party succeeds when placed upon the
defensive. 1t is for these reasons, and
many more not necessary to state
here, that we opposed the re-
nomination of Governor Brad
ley. We opposed him con-
scientiously. and, as We thought,
Cor the best interest of the Democratic
party. The Representative of the par
", however, have deemed it advisable
10 again place him on the track, and
our opposition must here cease, for
we hold the Success of Democratic
principles high above all considera-
tons Of personal preference.
lielknap. the son-in-law of Gov
error Bradley. is, perhaps, the week.
e,: candidate on the ticket. No mat
ter what may be his qualifications, he
/. looked upon throughout the STATE
as 4 mere beginner in the LEGAL profess
sion. lie possesses no single element
of strength, and, 10 our mind, the con-
vention in nominating him committed
Il fatal error. Too much of n family
in i great political battle is never
viewed with favor by the people. 1t is
hardly possible for Belknap to be elect
ed, while it is almost certain tina, his
candidaturc will drive votes from the
head of the ticket.
Adams, for Lieutenant Governor:
Ellis, for Congress; iIillhousc, for the
long term Judgeship; k~ittrell, for At
torney General; Schooling, for Treas
urer; Spires, for Secretary Of State;
Craniev, for Controller of State; Here
ford, for Clerk of the Supreme Court;
Stewart, for Mineralogist; and Hill.
for State Printer, are all wise selec-
lions, and constitute, so far as they 20.
the strongest ticket ever nominated in
this State. HAST, for Surveyor Cen
eral, is also a most excellent man, and
were he generally known throughout
the State we are sanguine that
General Day would be put to his
tfumps to beat him. OF Spencer, the
candidate for Superintendent of Public
instruction, we know absolutely moth
ms. We t'Iin TX iaii> from bOuSia
or Esmeraida, but of this We are not
certain. Taken as a whole, the ticket
averages well, and that a large major
ity of the candidates will succeed at he
polls OH the third day OF November
next hardly admits of a doubt.
