THE TICKET.
For the legislature.

/ Charles Mcpherson of Shoshone
and w. Y. Perkins of Soldier are the
candidates for the Council; and John
H. Van Schaick Of Rocky Bar, II. H.
Clay of Bellevue, Fl. z. Burkhart of
HALEY, and d. r. Munroe of Sho-
shone,. are the candidates for the AS
sembly.
Mr.. Mcpherson is past middle age,
FIRST class machinist, and thor.
oughly well-informed, and conscien-
tious gentleman. The fact that he Is
a devont Christian is being widely ad
vertised by the Dem ocra,s, who evil
IDENTIFY consider this fatal defect;
but the day when religious principles
were held to be disqualification in a
frontier legislator have passed away.
He is All honest, hard working man.
and, the head Of family whose per
manent home is at the Junction. he
will be elected.
Mr.. Perkins is a resident of Camas
Prairie, but a miner and prospector
who is interested in the Gold Belt,
near the Alaska and West Camas
mines, and some Is miles further to
the west. A native of the Old Do
minion, Mr.. Perkins deserves credit
for having accepted the result OF the
war as final arbitrament, and joined
the ranks of the party which believed,
aud still believes, that "The Union
Must and Shall be Preserved" The
report that he was removed from
office in North Carolina by Presi-
dent Cleveland is falsehood circu.
lated by interested parties. Prior to
coming here Mr.. Perkins was for
years manager of coal mines in Ten.
nessee. He has family which he
has had with him on the Prairie dur.
ing the past two years, and has es-
tablished his home there.
John H. Van Setback is none other
than "Honest John Van" A pioneer
of Alturas county who has kept
abreast of the worlds progress by
close reading of books and newspa-
pers, Mr. Van Schaick will be an or
nament to this county at Boise. This
mans integrity is Of that scrupulous
character that il even leads him tc
avoid any appearance Of wrong. A
few years ago, while he was on the
Board of County Commissioners, he
was petltioned, importuned and re-
$ pea,edy urged to make road to Hal
, ley from Rocky Bar and Atlanta via
the South Boise. Major Frank P.
Cavanah and Major Petit of Atlanta,
we're among those who urged this.
But, although limiting that the road
would be advantageous to the county,
Mr.. Van Schaick refused to order it,
although the Board was quite willing
! and even anxious to have it done.
His reason was that, as tie road would
treble the value of his ranch on the
Boise, some people might charge him
with interested motives! When such
/ man as John Van accepts nomina
ton for such an office as this the PEG
i pie should elect him, regardless of pc
: litical leanings.
H. H. Clay OF Bellevue is the junior
n of the firm Of DeLano & Clay. He is
5 an active, honorable, capable young
& man, and as about everything which
he has in the world is right here, in
r Alturas county, we do not see how the
people could better themselves in this
;, line. He will he elected.
s H. z. Burkhart OF Haley is so vel
i known that our readers require no in
PRODUCTION to him. A former news
j. paper man, postmaster, express agent
). and book and stationery dealer, Mr.
Burkhart has always been equal t,
5 the varied requirements of those occu
= pations and will make a competen
IS and creditable legislator. At presen
: he is lumber dealer in HALEY, ant
:, lessee of the old Rowe saw-mill il
J. Croy gulch.
