REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

In Q former article We referred t.
the importance of electing good and
| able men to the Legislature, and it j.
Of equal importance that those who
seek for official positions in this
county should be men known to b.
honest, capable and conversant with
the necessities of our citizens. The
finances demand an economical ad.
miniatration, and the experience Of
the past two years shows that our
county officials have been fully alive
to the responsibilities Of their posi-
tions; that they have, in the main,
performed their duties to the salts
faction of the people. And, unless
we'll assured of . material improve
ment, a change would be not only
unwise, but dangerous. The taxpay-
ers Of the county have q special in
terest in placing good men in county
offices, and they should lose no op-
portunity to inform themselves of
the qualifications of the aspirants.
With these few remarks we will pro-
coed with our mention of the candi-
dates.
j. 8. JAMESON,
OF Esmeralda, is the candidate for
Judge of the Third Judicial District,
which is composed of the counties
of Lyon aud Esmeralda. Mr.. Jami-
son is a pioneer of Esmeralda county,
having resided there for the past
fifteen years. He is. however, partly
incapacitated from active duty by
serious infirmity of the eyes, and he
was put on the ticket more as a
matter of form than otherwise. His
defeat would therefore not surprise
himself or his friends.
WILLIAM C. DOvEY,
The candidate for District Attorney,
has been a resident of Silver City
since 1858; was a member of the
Assembly from Lyon county in 1870,
and reelected in the fall Of 1874.
At the session of 1878 he was chosen
Speaker of the House. He filled the
position of Principal Of the Silver
City Public School from 1855 to
1869, and recommended teaching in
the Same school in May, 1877. This
position he now holds. Although
reputed to be close in his business
Transactions, he has never yet failed
to fulfill his just obligations or pay
his honest debts. In 1869 he was
admitted to practice law in the Dis
!rict Court of Storey county, and
IAN be admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court upon presentation of
his certificate from Judge Rising.
Thus, there can be no doubt about
his being fully qualified to perform
The duties of the Office, and, if
he will add integrity Of pur-
pose to sound business sense and
Iegal ability.

years. BE is an old resident of Day
ton, and as a business man and neigh
Dor has the confidence and esteem Of

over.
