REPuBLICAN NOMINATIONS From the
Shasta Courier OF last week we learn that
the Joint Republican, Convention of Shas-
tn and Trinity counties met ut the Empire
Hhel, Shasta, on Thursday, July 22d.
and unanimously nominated j. j. Rel
for the Assembly. Mr.. Bell, the nomi
nee, is prominent Republican Of Shasta
county, personally popular. we'll qualified
for the position, and will make IN able
representative If elected. BY common
C rnsent the nominees of both parties, for
Assemblyman, were left with Shasta
c'unty, and Republicans here are well
satisfied with the selection on their side.
As to the Democratic feeling we are not
advised, further than that few would
have preferred Klotz as their candidate.

LIST OF LETTERS
TOWN AND COUNTY.

PRIMARIEs.-This Saturday evening is
the time appointed FOR the selection OF
Delegates to the Republican Convention
which will assemble in Weaverville next
Thursday. The character of the ticket Ia
be nominated depends entirely upon the q
Delegates, and therefore care should be
t,ken to select the best representative
men of the party. Among the Repub-
ltans of Trinity there is abundant mate
rial from which to form ticket that will
carry the county in the election. Let
none but the best men be put in nomina-
ton Republicans who can command the
whole strength of their own party and
draw from the ranks of the orp lsitinn.
Such men can be found such men must
be found, if the party hopes for success.
Politics will be laid aside, in the selection
Of County Officers, to n greater extent
than ever before, and the best men for the
positions will be chosen. with but little
regard for their political affiliations. We
trust the Republicans o. Trinity compre-
he d the situation and will select Dele
gates equal to the occasion. We trust the
Delegates selected, when in Convention
as embed, will place before the people II
tick which shall command the respect
and support of all COOL citizens.

The Public Confidence Well Placed.

Although the world has been seeking
specifics for disease for many centuries,
few indeed have been found. Prominent
among these few is Hostcttor's Stomach
Bitters, which years ago received the en-
dorsement of the medical profession, and
was hailed by press and public rs the great
renovant and preventive of the age. And
with good reason, since 10 the weakened
stomach it gives strength and to the torpid
liver activity, to the disoidered bowels
regularity, and to the shaken nervous sys-
TEN firmness and tone. Under its benig-
nant influence healthful vgor returns To
the debiltated and wasted frame, the fac
cid muscles become compact, the wan as
pect of i'll health is replaced by look of
cheeriulncss, the mind ceases to despOnd,
and flesh is developed upon the attenuated
frame. There is no eXaggeration in this
statement. 1T is as true as that the system
is subject TO disease. Were proofs requir-
ed to substantiate the reality of the com
prchensive effects of the Bitters, there is
not probably in existence medicine, IN
favor of which such mass of concurrent
testimony, from the most respectable
sources, could be adduced. But the etfi-
cacy of the nations alternative and invlgor-
ant has been n matter OF universal know
ledge too long to need any such corrobora-
ton. The fact that it has its largest sales
in those portions of the North and South
American Continents, Mexico, and the
West Indies, in which atmospheric infiu-
ences prejudical to health exists, proves
what confidence is felt in its remedial and
protective virtues. In localities where
levers of an Intermittent type prevail, es-
pecially, it has come to be regarded as an
indispensable necessity.

cused the Salem locals Of being "haro
upn While perhaps we are at onr WITS
end to fill our columns, we cannot I'M :
aeine the delinquency to be q fault OF
Ours. for it certainly is a trying task
to write up an interesting local column
for a daily newspaper in a community
where so little respect is shown Tor the
trials, brain-raeking sorrows and exas'
nerating tribnlations of the local repor-
ter None of the Salem men folks are
on the fight. We rushed across the
street yesterday in anticipation OF a

ded in compromise The dogs even
are too peaceable to indulge in an oc'
casional street fight, and we sometimes
think they have been trained to this
perfection on purpose to avoid furnish
sug us with q local. The boys have
stopped flying kites and gone to playing
marbles, and hence no runaway items:
6ix.shooters have been discarded and
tracts substituted. Every night is
"calm and still' enough to satisfy Lii
" Dale" or any other defunct female.
The women folks won't use kerosene to
light fires with, and thus another ave
nue. of information is closed. One OF
orr citizens tied hen to the corner OF
the house and offered chineman half
a dollar to go up and steal it, and let
us shoot at him with blank cartridge,
but he wouldn't do it, and his only re-
DIV was, "Me heep no sable blank car

to wake up some morning and find a

perusal. Last years Almanacs will
soon come in play and unless matters
brighten up somewhat we shall repro

we are able to do that the Aldine need
not insinuate that we are ''hard up
