Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-10-01
THE CONVENTION YESTERDAY.

which met in the Courthouse yester-
day, passed off tremendously, and, al
though, as in the Democratic Conven-
ton, several of the nominations were
warmly contested, there was but little
acrimonious feeling displayed between
the adherents Of the different candi
dates, all appearing to submit grace
fully to the will of the majority; and
although some soreness was cvinced at
a few of the nominations by some out
siders, as a general rule the defeated
candidates and disappointed delegates,
if they entertained any O feel
ings. managed to suppress them with
sufficient skill to prevent their being
observed by the lookers-on in the con
vention. The ticket nominated is, in
the main, a good one, and we know of
40 reason why most of the candidates
upon it should not run up with the
presidential ticket in the county at Che
election.
The warnlest contest was for the
nomination for Sheriff, and resulted in
favor of J.. Sias. The successful
nominee has for several years past
been engaged in the blacksmithing
business in this town. His circle of
acquaintances is large, and those with
whom he has had business relations
unanimously represent him as an hon
orable and fair dealing man. He is in.
dustrious and energetic and will doubt
less make a lively fight for the cleo
ton, as he did for the nomination.
Andrew d. Haskell, the nominee for
County Clerk, is an employe of w. p.
Haskell IL Co., the we'll known furni-
ture men. He is a gentleman of I'M
exceptionable character, and will prob
ABLY make as good a run against old
Rufus as any person that could have
been selected by the convention for
that nomination.
r. l.. Chase, the present Recorder,
was re- nominated Tor that office. MIR.
Chase has filed the position with credit
to himself and we believe to the salts
faction of the public generally. His
books are neatly kept and the affairs of
his Office conducted in a systematic
and business-like manner
Hank knight was nominated by ac-
clamation for Assessor. The fact OF
his having no opposition in the con-
vention for one of the best offices in
the county indicates his popularity in
his party.
d. B. Immel, after a hard CO infested
fight, received the nomination for
Treasurer. Mr.. Iinmel conducts an
extensive banking business; is a good
business man, and ii he can get away
with Dick Ryland at the election will
prove a safe custodian of the county
funds.
The nomination for District Attorney
was given by reclamation to w. II.
Davenport, Of the law firm of Hill
house & Davenport. He is a good
lawyer and consequently we'll qualified
for the position for which he is NOM
mated.
DR. A. c. Bishop is the nominee for
Public Administrator. He is a physi-
clan with q good practice, and well
known in the community. If he ad-
ministers upon the effects of the dead
as successfully as he ministers to the
ills of the living, he is undoubtedly ths
man for Galway.
The nomination OF Hiram Johnson
for Superintendent of Public Schools,
Is q good one. He is one of our
most respected citizens, and we'll
qualified for the position. In the event
of either his or Mr.. Lansing's election.
the educational interests of the county
will be in competent hands.
We are u~nacquainted with Mr..
Conklin. the nominee for Surveyor,
but are informed that he is a good
man and well qualified to fill the posi-
ton.
Il. ID. Page, the nominee for Commits
sioner for the long term, is a rancher
residing at Fish Creek. He is a quiet,
unassuming man, but possessed OF
good sense and business qualities, and,
if elected, will serve the county faith
fully. His colleague, Harry Beadle,
the nominee for the short term, is a
resident of Ruby Hill and is well
spoken of by those who know him.
L. w. Cromer, the nominee for JUS
of the Peace, has for several years
been engaged in the hardware business
in this town. He is a good citizen, and
will, if elected, conscientiously dis
charge the duties of his office.
Alex. Mckay, the conventions
choice for Constable, is q resident of
Ruby Hill, and is represented as a
man for the position OF
High Bailiff.
