Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1888-09-29
OUR TICKET.


Republicans can find little or no fault with
SENATOR.
For State Senator, J B. Gallagher has beer
chosen. Mr.. Gallagher is one of our mos
prominent citizens. He has had experience
as a Senator, having served two terms in tina
Office while resident of Esmeralda county
He is good business man, can see as Ia
into a stone wall as anyone, and will make
as good Senator as any county IN the State
will send to Carson this Winter.
AssEMBLyMEN.
Mr.. Z. Pierce, of Smiths Valley, is a gen.
tleman whom all may depend upon to fill
the Office to which he asPires with honor to
himself and credit to the county. He is a
thorough Republican, has irst-class edu.
cation, and is very apt in Legislative matters.
We believe the Convention made good Sc
lection in Mr.. Pierce and feel assured that he
will be elected. The people Of the county,
irrespective Of party could not do better than
to send Mr.. Pierce to Carson this Winter.
Your humble servant, if elected to the Of
fee, will do the best he can to see that Lyon
county is sat down upon entirely.
SHERIFF.
Mr.. Brann, the nominee for Sheriff, will
undoubtedly be elected again. He has filled
the Office for the past two years with general
satisfaction. He is Republican all the
time, and if again elected will fulfil the
duties of his Office better the next two years
than ever, as he has become thoroughly &C.
quainted with his duties.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
M. c. Tilden, the nominee for District At.
torney, is a new conner in the county. He is
evidently man of ability sufficient to fill
the Offices of District Attorney and Superin.
tendent of Public Schools. He formerly
practiced law in Sacramento, where he met
with much success. His education has not
been neglected as he was for some time apro-
fessor of mathematics in one Of the leading
colleges in California. AS there is good
Republican majority in the county this year
Mr.. Tilden will no doubt be elected.
CLERK.
Walter J. Harris, the choice by acclama-
for Clerk, has made the best Clerk the county
ever had. He is a young man of intelligence
and integrity. For the past two years he has
filled the Office of Clerk to the satisfaction Of
all who have had business with that officer.
Nothing can stop his running in this Fall with
larger majority than he received two years
ago.
TREASURER.
]. A. Huntoon, the present incumbent, is
the nominee for reelection to the important
Office Of Treasurer. julie has not sqandered
a cent of the county's money during the four
years he has had the office, and it is safe to
say he will not squander any Of it in the next
two years. He has made good officer and
will so continue to do for another two years.
RECORDER.
T. P. Mack, the nominee for Recorder, is
one of Lyon county's old citizens. He is al
so a statesman, having once represented the
county in the Assembly. He is thoroughly
competent to fill the Office to which he as
ipres as he is an experienced book keeper and
accountant. Mr.. Mack will no doubt be
elected to do the book keeping for the coun
ty for the next two years.
COMMISSIONERS.
Mr.. T. C. Ford, the nominee for long term
Commissioner, is another old resident Of Ly.
on county. He is miner by profession and
has held responsible positions number Of
times. All who know him like him, and the
miners who have worked under him and with
him speak in high terms of his manhood.
He was at one time foreman of the Sutro
Tunnel. His health is at present not very
good and he is entitled to the position on the
ground that he needs it as we'll as on the
ground that he is competent to fill the bill.
]. NJ Hous ton, the nominee for long term
Commissioner, halls from Mason Valley. Mr..
Houston is a man who is quite we'll read in
law and also we'll posted as to the needs Of
the county generally. He is the choice Of
the Mason Valley people for the position, If.
respective of politics. Mr.. Houston is an
old resident of the county, heavy taxpayer,
agood business man, and the people canno,
do better than elect him.
Taking everything into consideration We
believe the Republicans have put ticket in
the field this year that will win. There is
Republican majority of about 100 in til,
county and the Democrat who gets ava,
with trick will have to be not only thor
oughly competent man but mighty popula
one. We believe that Republicans will vot
their tickets straight this year as they did i
quite large numbers two years ago. In thi
case the ticket will. win, all of it,
