STATE SENATOR.

For this Office II. l. Smith, was The mOSl
prominent and as It proved the most pop.
ular cand idate before the convention. He
is an old resident,-onc who IL thorough.
ly familiar with all that has transpired in
this section politically and otherwise dur.
ing the last ten years. He is regarded by
all classes, as a n,ano ability, Ind pos.
sessed of those special qualifications es.
scntial to the character Of a! !fifst.eless Sena'
tor. Mr.. Smith is radical In nothing ex.
cept his adherence of shams, tricks and
poltroonry. Heis pre:eminently q man
Of his word. Possessed of strong convic.
tions he is'persistent tn the advocacy Of
his own views and is more likely to win
others to the support OF his cause, than to
yield to the power Of his opponents. He
is dignifled in personal appearance, per.
suaslve in manner, full of resources, ready
in debate, aud capable of developing and
maturing measures Of the most vital im.
portance to the industrial and. monetary
interests of the State. He is popularwith
all classes, and will carry larger vote
than any other man that the convention
could have chosen. That he will be elect
ed there is not the slightest doubt, and
that he will be very popular Senator is
admitted by all who know him.
REPRESENTATIVES:
Hon. c. F. Grcening, of Grand Mead.
ow, who served his constituency with
such faithfulness last year, was rc.nomin-
Bted by acclamation. He is one Of those
young men so numerous in this State, who
have come to the surface by reason of
their special qualities. Mr.. Greening's
prominent characteristic-thc one for
which he became noted previously to his
first nomination, was positive integrity OF
character. Nothing sooner establishes a
man in the confidence Of the people, than
an answering adherence to principle.
He was not only prominent, but q use.
full member Of the last Legislature, and
by his consistent and upright course won
the esteem Of all Ills associates. The north
eastern portion Of the county was unani.
nous in asking him to be their candidate
again, and he was accepted with equal
unanimity by the delegates from the 9th.
er sections. He preferred to retire upon
the record which he won last win.
ter, but like good citizen, he yields to
what seems almost the unanimous wish
of the party, and takes his place in the
column, determined to aid in achieveing
q victory this year, to which that of the last
will bear but an insignificant comparison.
His associate on the ticket, H. F. Dem
ing, ESQ.,, Of Nevada, is not 50 generally
known to the public, but he is not less capa.
bic nor deserving. He is farmer, with just
enough of Granger proclivities to make
him an earnest friend Of the produ
clases-enough Of the business man to fit
him for al intelligent consideration Of the
many interests which are to be fostered by
legislation, and enough of technical abili.
ty to render him efficient in watching the
local and general interests Of the State.
He is an old resident, lifelong republi-
can and an honest man, which, taken as
whole, makes a pretty good platform for a
candidate to stand upon. We expect TO
see him elected by strong majority,
since he fairly represents all classes, and
will seek to promote all interests.
FOR TREASURER.
1.1ngmundson, the present incumbent
was nominated by the vote OF fifty dele.
gates-being the full convt n:ion lacking
fifteen. His great popularity is attribute
bic to several facts. He is known to be 4
thoroughly honest man; his management
of the Treasury during his term has been.
satisfactory to every body, and his person.
al intercourse with the people has been of
that kind which never fails to create fa.
vorable impression. Politically. he has
been republican after the straightest
sect. The anti-monopolists nominated him
two years ago, but republicans elected
him, and he accepted the off,ce Just a.
any other republican would have done.
His war record was in al respects honor
able, as has been his career in private
business, and he stands the peer Of any
man in enterprise, benevolence and social
qualities. That he will receive the larg-
est vote ever pollea by any one man in
this county, admits of but little. If any
doubt, and he will be the popular County
Treasurer during the next two years.

This nomination was conferred upon
Charles Smith, ESQ.,, Of Le Roy. It is
we'll known that the perquisites afforded

none but men of excellent character, and
scholarly attainments, to fill the Office, and
