HE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
TICKET.

AuC tlCAVs PAoSSA Az
by the Democrats of Lyon county
is one If unusual strength. Even
their opponents admit that 1t is
equal to any they have ever put in
the field before, and were this an "off
year" in politicA when party feeling
does not run very high, some of the
nominees who will undoubtedly be
defeated, would stand good show
of being elected.
The nominee for State Senator is
an honest young rancher of Churchill
precinct, but totally inexperienced
| in politics. This is evinced by the
fact that, throughout the campaign,
he has tried to "carry water on both
shoulders" by pretending to be IA
vorable to the reelection of Senator
Jones, although his party is pledged
to return true-blue Democrat.
The nominees for the Assembly
| are all capable young men, who
stand high in the estimation of citi-
zens of all parties in their respective
| communities. "Billy" Elliott is a
native of Australia, but may be said
to have been raised in this city; W.
N. Battersby has several times been
up for Office before, and is we'll
known; and Caleb J. Crowley is head
blacksmith iu the employ of the Su-
tro Tunnel Company. He came to
San Francisco with his parents when
only a year old, was therefore
raised on this Coast, and is incapa-
BILE of dishonorable, mean, or even
q questionable act. He accepted the
nomination from a sense of party
fealty; his election would be no pro-
motion for him, and his defeat would
not surprise him in the least.
For District Judge William NJ.
Seawell, the present incumbent, is
the nominee. Judge Seawell has
held the Office eight years, and has
consequently thrice come before the
people as a candidate. A more
capable or upright judge il not to
be found in tho world.
John Powell, Jr., is the nominee
for District Attorney. When nomi-
mated Mr.. Powell addressed the Con-
vention and said that, if elected,
he would discharge his duties 'just
as well IS ho did before"-some six
years ago, we believe. By his rec
ord then he must therefore stand or
fall.
James Donovan ID the nominee
for Sheriff. He has lived in this
coutny for some sixteen years, and
has never before been up for Office.
He has held an Office in this county
once before, however. Any further
notice Of him would be superfuous
- be is thoroughly known through.
out the county.
| John Lothrop is the nominee for
Recorder and Auditor. MIR. Lothrop
is now, as ever, q consistent Demo.
crat, but during the slate unpleas-
antness" he was War Democrat,
and therefore sympathized with the
Republican party at that time. A
first-class bookkeeper, a steady, sober
and thoroughly honest man, and q
model father, husband, and citizen,
John Lothrop would do no wrong
for any body, and invariably treats
all with whom he is thrown in con.
tact, rich or poor, alike. He is ad.
mitted by all who know anything
about it, to be the best recorder Ly.
on county ever had, and If be were q
Republican he would be reelected
by an overwhelming majority.
Bart. Derham is the nominee fol
Clerk. Bart. is native of California
but has resided in this county fol-
/ about four years. He is thoroughly
fitted by education for the position
J to which he aspires, and will, il
elected, prove fully competent t.
discharge the duties Of the office.
, G. p. Randall, the nominee fo
T Assessor, is an old resident of Day
ton. He Is man of family ant
some property, and is generally es
teemsd throughout the county.
! j. G. Young, the nominee TO
School Superintendent, is the pres
spt incumbent Of that office. H.
