SENATOR.
The nomination Of DR.. J. c. Hazlett
on the eighth ballot is the best that
could have been made in the county.
The doctor was the leading Senator in
the session Of 1871, and the legislation
then secured by him has saved the State
many thousands of dollars annually.
Democrats as well as Republicans con-
cede this. The doctor will be elected
this Fall no matter who the Democrats
pit against him.
AssEMBLYMEN.
G. |. Leavitt and James Blackburn,
the nominees by reclamation for the
Assembly, will poll more than their
party vote. Both are wideawake, intel
ligent gentlemen and are ardent Repub.
licans. They will make first. class leg
islators, and their election is foregone
conclusion.
SHERIFF.
Samuel WATSON, the nominee for
Sheriff, is an old resident of Mason
Valley, and is we'll known all over the
county. His Repubhcnnism, integrity
and fearlessness are unquestloned. lie
will make it exceedingly warm for his
opponent.

clamation for Treasurer, is well quail

doubt be elected by large majority.
ASSESSOR.
H. J. CARING, the nominee for Asses.
sor. and the present incumbent, may
safely count upon reelection. Hugh
has made as good an Assessor as Lyon
county ever had, and the people can de
no better than keep him in Office.
RECORDER.
George Wilson. the nominee for Re.
corder, is young man who has every
qualification necessary for No. I Re-
corder. He will no doubt carry the
full strength of his party. and in Mason
Valley. his home, will receive many
vote from his Democratic friends.
DISTRICT NTToRNEy.

Geo. W. keith, will have walk over.

county, is thoroughly identified with
its interests, an able lawyer and has
acceptably filled the position several
terms heretofore.
CLERK.
T. S. Dallas, the nominee for County
Clerk, and the present incumbent, will
have little or no opposition. Mr.. Dali

the strongest man the Republicans
could have named for that position.
