THE TICKET.

~ - " ~ ~
sion at the Courthouse on Tuesday,
taken as a whole, is almost universally
conceded by both Democrats and Re.
publicans to be the strongest ever
placed before the people of this county.
The conven ion vas mainly composed
of representative men, whose sole de-
sire seems to have been the placing of
a good ticket in the field, regardless of
personal preferences or individual IA
voritism. For the principal offices
there were many aspirants, and, as was
good and true men failed to receive
nominations. We are pleased to state,
however, that the many worthy gem
tlemen who failed in their aspirations
indicate a willingness TO accept their
i'll luck with becoming grace, and to
give to their successful competitors a
a cordial and hearty support.
1t would not be proper in the writer
to say anything more in behalf of the
nominee for the long term Senatorship
than hat he pledges himself, in the
event of his election, to represent the
county earnestly and faithfully.
The choice of the convention for
Baker, a gentleman well and favor
ably known in this community. He is
a lawyer of good attachments aud char
acter, and a fair speaker. He has
served one term as District Attorney
Of The county, and retired from the
office without a single blemish on his
official record. His interests, hopes
and .pirations are all with Eureka
county, and the people thereof may
rest assured that he will serve them
in the State Senate with ability and
fidelity.
The nominees for the Assembly are
Thorn IS Laspeyre, ID. Il. Baily, d.. j.
j. Mclaughlin and NJ. Ct. Cavanaugh.
The two first named are lawyers Of
acknowledged ability and each is fully
conversant with the wants and needs
of the State. Both are ready and flu
en- debaters. As a legislator, Mr..
Laspeyre enjoys "a coast reputation.
He has served several terms in the
California Legislature. and per conse-
quence is entirely familiar with the
routine of legislative business. His
services will be invaluable to the
county; and the people, ii they but con-
suit their best interests, will not fail to
elect him by an overwhelming ma
jority. Judge Baily is just as good as
elected now. He was an early settler
In Eureka, has large property interests
in Jul midst, which, coupled with his
peculiar fitness for the position, ZEN.
ders it absolutely certain that he will
be a member of the incoming Legis-
lature. Having an extensive acquaint-
ance throughout the State, he will
WELD great influence for the good OF
the county and his constituency in
general. Judge Baily ought to be
elected unanimously. Mr.. McI.augh
lin is an %unassuming gentleman, but
possessing great good sense and an in
clination for quiet, effective work thai
will make him a most excellent and
popular member. He, too, is an early
resident of Eureka, and all of his
worldly possessions and interests are
situated in this county. A truer and
more honorable man than ID. j. j. Nc
will serve his constituency honestly
and faithfully, and we say here that
no one will aver have reason to regret
his visit to Carson as a Representative
of the county. Mr.. ~Cavanaugh will
also make a good rustling member.
AS Mining Recorder of this district for
five years, and Assistant Postmaster
for two years, no man, woman or
child ever had cause to offer a sol
itary objection against him. He is
bright and obliging-two qualifications
which will go far toward establishing
for him strength and influence in the
Legislature. He has occupied clerical
positions of one kind and another dur
ing several sessions in this State, and
will go in with a thorough knowledge
of all the ms and outs of legislative
proceedings. His experience in this
line will come in good play and make
him at once an efficient member.
Taken all in all, our legislative dele
CATION, il elected, will prove the equal
of that returned from any county in
the State.
For Sheriff, we have Il. Dewitt, a
competent, cautious and successful
business man. He has served several
terms in California as Under Sheriff,
and knows all about the duties and re-
quirements of the Office for which he
is now a candidate. He is ar honest, ster-
Ill T.
