# REPUBLICAN ECONVENTiON'-Al luli re-
hort of the proceedings of the Republican
County Nominating Convention is given
In another column. Twenty six Dele
Rates, representing more than three
fourths of the Republicans of the County
were in attendance and the proceedings
were harmonious and eminently satstac-
story. There was no strife in Convention
over any of the limitations, the gentle
nan presenting themselves being recog-
&nized as the best material in the County
Yor the several pos stions to which they
aspired and the Convention indorsing
sthem UNANIMOUSLY. John w. Philbrook
for Sheriff, has long held that position,
doing credit to himself and homer to the
county. He is one of the most able and
popular Sheriffs in the State and will be
reelected beyoud doubt. For County
y Clerk no better nom nation was possible
than that OF Champ. w. Smith, of Lew
iston, and every one interested in the
welfare Of Trinity County should assist
in his election. Mr.. Smith although an
old resident Of f.Trnity, is new hand in
politics, but well known throughout the
zcounty AS an industrious, enterprising
citizen. On the score Of capsbility, it is
safe to say he is the peer of any gentle
man IN the State, and if elected will
make one of the very best Clerks Trinity
~ l.,I -E.,n
pf Douglas City, for Assessor, is one of
ahe Old Pioneers of Trinity, popular
*~herever known and known in every sec
zion of the county. -Four years ago he
made gallant contest for the same DO,
tition to which he now aspires and fell
only few votes short of his successful
2cpponent, Mr.. j. Paulsen. than whom no
apher man IN the county could have beats
len Marshall at that time. If we read the
igns of the times Alright MARSH" will
be more successful this time. Geo. f.
Noonan, for School Superintendent, is
another Pioneer thoroughly qualified for
ihe duties Of that responsible position.
His election is already conceded. David
Tay ylor, for Coroner and Public Admin
istrator, occupies that Lositlon at present,
bud will doubtless be elected without op-
position. For County Surveyor, Mr.. O.
NJ. Loveridge, of Junction City, has
been placed in romnation. The position
has in the past been almost blank, but
should any business offer during the next
Dear, it will be we'll done by Mr.. Lover
idge. For Superior Judge, District At
torney and County Treasurer tho Convea-
tion made no nominations, but empower
ed the Central Committee to place names
on the ticket for those positions. In the
case of Superior Judge, the Republicans
HwiIl endeaVor to present candidate
whose qualifications, in all respects, will
fecommend him to the people of the
county for this important office. As to
Pie other places left blank no action has
yet been decided upon, but one or both
may be filled before the time for printing
And circulating ballots arrives.
On the nom nations made, we congrat-
plate the citizens of Trinity County and
particularly the Republicans. Should
Pie entire ticket be elected, and we hope
IND predict it will, the County govern
nent will be in good hands and admins
<ered with the best interests OF the county
always in view. Without any intent to
qisparage the ability or claims Of the
gentleman nominate on the Democratic
Ticket all of whom we claim for our per-
sonal friends-we ask the citizens OF Trim
Ay County to decide in favor Of the best
Dan for each of the several positions. No
pan will make a good Sheriff, Clerk, AS
Rssor, or other officer simply because he
Republican or because he is Demo
rat. In this contes! all are conceded to
FIRST class gentleman aud all old resi-
4ents. Capabii.y should therefore be
b standard By which to decide who
nall be elected. Let the Republican
nsminees stand or fall by this test.
