OUR NOMINEES.


'oncerned. They gave us an excel
ent ticket throughout. We could
hardly ask for a better one.
STATE SENATOR.
We cheerfully support Hon. vii
lam Martindale for State Senator.
We had expected that Lyon coun-
~ man would be nominated, and
would have been greatly pleased to
support either DIR. Wright or ii. F.
Mcmillan. Mr.. Martindale is SO
well thought of, however, in this
and has made SO good a
Senator for two years, that he led
his competitors in the vote of the
Lyon county delegates. lie was
nominated on the first vote, and his
nomination was made unanimous.
This is a well deserved compliment
to good man and q good officer.
AS q man Mr.. Ms character is
above reproach. AS legislator he
is wide awake, industrious, clear
headed, and efficient. His course
for two years is approved by near
ly all his constituents. He is q
practical, sound man, and should be
elected by q heavy majority. as he
undoubtedly will be.
REPREsENTATIvEs.
In the Goth dirtrict the couven-
ton concluded to endorse John w.
10y, who had previously been NOM
mated by the mixed convention OF
some weeks ago. 1t is believed Mr..
10y is as sound a Republican as eV-
er, and as a man he is above re-
proach. In the nomination of such
men the party is certainly purifying
itself. Mr.. 10y has had an exper-
fence of two previous terms in the
house, is a gentleman of good ad.
dress and culture has been a citi
zen of the county many years, and
is one of the leading and active citi
zens of Americas. He will prOba
big have no opposition, and viii
make q useful member of the iegis
lature.
George Johnston was nominated
in this, the GSth district. In ihil
case we have a clear instance of "th'
Office seeking the man." He pro
tested, but still the delegates voted
him through. He has been one o
our best citizens for some years
lie is now one of our county com
missioners, and is a good officer
He is an upright, honest man, jus
the kind the people haYe been long
ing for, and they ought to elect hin
by heavy majority. We feel tina
we can safely say they will not re
greet sending him to Topeka.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
Almerin Gillett received from tn
convention of "a delegates, the com
pliment of a nomination by accla
nation. He has been in this offic
during the last term, and conducted
himself in such a way as to deserve
the compliment of unanimou
endorsement. He is industrious
painstaking, and prompt. Th'
people will endorse the action q
the convention when they come t.
the election.
PROBATE JUDGE.
+. w. Cunningham wa
nominated for this Office
He is the present incumbent
, and has made a good Officer
Without any unfavorable refleC
ton at all on those who have gu
perceded him it may be truthful
said, we think, that he is the bes
Probate Judge the county eve
had. He was nominated by
I majority which shows the conf
dence which the people have i
him.
CLERK OF COURT.
George w. Frederick was tn
| nominee for this office. Mr.. I
is well and favorably know
throughout the county, and ha
, plenty of friends everywhere. II
run against the best men in Lyo
county, and was nominated, whic
is an evidence of his high stand
ing.
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
r Prof. A. d. Chambers, the nom
/ inee for this office, is well know
throughout the county, havini
twice filed it heretofore. He ha
devoted his life to the educationa
work, and is prominently quail
fed for this responsible position
This completes the ticket pres
ented to the Republicans of Lyo
county. Taken altogether it is
: good one. 1t was nominated by
convention composed of nearl,
100 delegates. There was no un
fair means used in securing any O
the offices. In a majority of in
stances the nominees did not seel
the places. Others did not solici
a single vote. There was no us
of the usual appliances. In tn,
matter of reform in the abuse
that usually creep into a conven
ton, this one was commendable
Now let us go to the polls an,
