DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

Sb0AAAV NAYAA =
The first name upon the demo
cratic ticket of this county is that of
our honored citizen. Isaac l. Lewis.
The nomination of Judge Lewis
for the territorial council, although
unsought, was made without sim
gle dissenting voice, as was also that
of Mr.. Vineyard. The Judge is
pioneer of Wood River, than whom
no man is more thoroughly identi-
fed with the interests Of the coun-
try, more cognizant of the necessi-
ties of judicious legislation nor
more capable Of an intelligent,
earnest and diligent performance
of the duties that will devolve upon
him should he be elected to that
honorable body. BY his past ex-
perience in legislative bodies in the
State of Minnesota and the Terri
tory of Montana, the Judge is emf
nently fitted for the positi n. From
his wide acquaintance anu me UNI
versal esteem in which he is held
on Wood River there can be little
question of his election.
LYcuRGUs VINEYARD, who was
nominated for the territorial coun-
Gil. justly deserves the honor thus
conferred upon him by the dcmoc.
racy of Alturas county, and If
elected will do honor to his con-
stituents. Mr.. Vineyards qualifi-
cations are unquestionable. His
name and character are above re-
proach. He is an able attorney. a
respected citizen AMI Il thorough
democrat. His labors in the inter-
ests of his party from the earllies
campaign on Wood River to the
present time have been Jealous, i'm,
partial and unremitting, and when
defeated upon several occasions
he has taken his medicine" like
true democrat. Mr.. Vineyard did
not seek the honor shown him III
this instance and it therefore comes
with the more betting grace and
timely recognition of his devotion
to the democracy. Mr.. Vineyard
will carry Wood River by rous-
ing majority and will receive the
united democratic vote elsewhere
in the county.
JUDGE ABBOTT, of Soldier, is a
democrat universally honored 10y
his fellow citizens. The great and
growing section of Camas Prairie
could not have selected bette
representative in the territorial leg
islature. He is thoroughly acqualn-
ted with his people and will work
in their interest with an honesi
heart and willing hands. H is il
man of sound Judgment and incl
lectual capacity; a man that can
neither be bought nor sold, and
one that will exercise an independ
ent mind for the welfare of his
country.
E. J. CoADY, Of Glenn's Ferry,
is a strong anti-divisionist, and will
go to the Legislature, if elected, pre-
pared to stand by his constituents
tooth and toenail in the cause of
the empire of Alturas. Mr.. Coady
is an ald-time friend of Patrick Nc
Mahan of this place.
PATsEY H. KINNEY has made a
record as sheriff of this county that
Of itself is sufficient recommended
ton to the voters of whom he asks
a reelection. Mr.. Kinney's public
service in the county will bear in
vestigation in every detail 1t has
been satisfactory to every unbiased
citizen. It has shown him to be an
honorable and efficient officer, and
should, therefore, entitle him to the
united support of the people, ire
spective of party, at the polls next
November. Mr.. Kinney is too vel
ana favorably known in Alturas to
need further comment here.
ORLANDO B. BATrEN. of this place
is a candidate upon the democratic
ticket for district attorney. Mr.
Batten's residence in Ketchum fol
several years past has resulted thus
far, in only the best of opinion as
to his honorable character, abilit,
as lawyer, and general qualifica
tons for the high public Office t,
which he aspires. He is gentle
man of good birth and education
BY his happy methods of the bust
ness of his vocation he has made
few if any enemies but many friend
on Wood River, all of whom vii
concede his adaptability to the pc
sition for which he is nominated
This is the only important count,
office ever sought by Ketchumit'
atthe hands of the democratic part,
and we think Mr.. Batten is justly
entitled to the election.
Col. W. II. BRoADHEAD, who re
ceived the nomination for Probat,
Judge, is an old resident Of III,
county, and a member Of the ba
of this district. He is an honora
bic citizen and a good democrat
