The Republican Ticket.

In the proper place is published
the ticket nominated by the Repub-
lican convention last Saturday. 1t
is mostly hnobiectionable. For
Representative we have Judge E.
w. Cunningham, in this, the SD
district, and Hon. John w. 10y, of
Americas, in the SD district. These
nominations we can endorse most
heartily. II would be a hard task
to better them. They are both men
so well known, not only here, but
throughout this region of the State,
that it is unnecessary for THE NEWS
TO say anything of them. For near
ly six years Mr.. Cunningham has
held the position of Probate Judge
in this county, filling the place with
credit to himself and to the entire
satisfaction of the people. He has
filed other positions in the same
way, and his career has been one of
activity and usefulness since he be-
came a resident of our city. He is
lawyer of ability, and man of
unimpeachable integrity, and fully
identified with the interests of the
people. We believe he will make a
number one representative OF our
interests in the legislature, and SO
believing we cheerfUlly render our
support.
John w. 10y is one of the best
men in Lyon county, and has
occupied that distinction for the
last fifteen years. He Is an active
supporter of all our best interests
q man of good abilities, and in
our long acquaintance with him We
have the first time to hear of 6
charge against his integrity or man
hood. He has been three session.
in the legislature, and has acquired
: an acquaintance with Legislative
rules and committee work, IS wei
as with our public men and affairs
, which will render him one of tn,
{ most useful and prominent mem
bers OF the next house. He is q maj
of excellent requirements, polished
{ manners, and a good debAter. w
, do not know whether he is to hav
3 opposition or not, but we do know
, that the SD district cannot do bet
ter than to elect Mr.. 10y as thei
q representative.
George w. Frederick maintain
! his popularity with the people TO
Clerk, and beat several of our bes
q men in the convention. He is to
q well known to need q word of com
1 mendation from our hands. H
: has been long here in business an
official life, and bears an anblemish
ed character.
Messrs Sedgwick, for County Al
J, torney Kellogg, for Probate Judge
Q and Wharton for Superintendent G
: Public Instruction, were SO fortu
: nate as to have no opposition befor
8 the convention, and were nominate
8 by acclaim alton. We are of opiniol
t they will be unanimously elected
8 They have all been tried by the pee
9 pie, and have made efficient an
o popular public servants. Mr.. Kel
r logg has been to the legislator,
g from this district, Mr.. .Sedgwic
y has served one term as county al
8 torney, and Mr.. Wharton one in th
. sffice for which he is again q car
Il didate.
9 A. r. Bancroft carried the da
9 over several good men, for Register
u COMMISSIONER.
VI The most important Office In th
l. county is that of Commissioners, an
# our best men should always be s.
e lected. We are pleased with th
d nomination of j. N. Griffith, whic
10 was made by reclamation, for TIL
b Office. lie has been q business ma
d here for many years, and is wideI
n known for his intelligence, nprigh
