fortune to nominate. It is ticket that all
Republicans should support with good
will, and we see no reason why it should not
be elected from top to bottom. There is
fair Republican majority in the county and
Democrats cannot win except with Republi-
can votes. A short review Of the ticket is
here given.
AssEMBLYMEN.
Josiah Moore is gentleman who has been
a resident OF this county for many years.
He is resident of the Mound House, man
of family, and mill man by profession,
having been Foreman Of the Eureka mill for
a number of years and now being employed
in that capacity We believe that If Mr..
Moore Is chosen to represent Lyon county
in the Legislature that he will do the best
he can to see that she gets square deal in
all matters. He favors Jones for the U. S.
Senate.
VIM. Shirley, the other nominee for As
semblyman, is well known throughout the
county. He once before represented Lyon
in the Legislature. This was at the time,
also, when U. S. Senator was to be elected
and VIM. Stewart was chosen to fill the po-
sition. Mr.. Shirley is Foreman Of the Rock
Point mill, he is man of sound sense and
much deliberation and if again elected to
represent US will no doubt make a record
equal to his old one, if not better. He ia
yors Jones for the U. S. Senate.
SHERIFF.
James E. Twaddle, the nominee for Sher-
if, is resident Of Wabuska, where for the
past four years he has been telegraph opera
tor and station agent for the c. q c. railroad
company. Jim is young man who has
host of friends in the county, and who makes
friends wherever he goes. He is thorough
business man and is possessed of sufficient
qualifications to make frst-class officer.
ASSESSOR.
OF A. w. Brann, the nominee for Assessor,
it is not necessary to say much. He has
been resident of Lyon for SO long that every
man, woman and child knows him. For the
past four years he has been our Sheriff, and
he has filed the office well. He has con-
siderable interest IN the county and would
make Just as good an Assessor as he has
boon Sheriff. The Democrats are hunting
for their heaviest stick Of timber to set up
aginst him, well knowing that they have a
hard man to even come anywhere near beat
ing.
RECORDER.
T. P. Mack, the nominee for Recorder, is
the present incumbent. He has performed
the duties OF his Office for the past two years
in a manner which none could excel. Two
years ago he was strong man on the ticket
and this year we predict that he will have
the same strong influence.
CLERK.
R. B. Davis, nominee for Clerk, is one of
the staunchest young Republicans in the
county. He has resided in this county for a
number Of years and is we'll known and
liked. Dick is at present employed at the
Rock Point mill There is not young Re-
publican in the county who will fail to vote
for Dick, and we anticipate that his major
ity will he one Of the largest next Nov.
TREASURER.
l. A. Huntoon received the nomination
for Treasurer by reclamation. julie has
been the watchdog Of the treasury for the
past six years and his accounts have always
been found correct. We can only say that
if he is elected again he will without doubt
make as efficient an officer for the next two
years as he has for the past six, and that is
all that is required.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
The nominee for District Attorney, R. w.
Apsey, is resident of Mason Valley. He
is we'll known throughout that section Of the
country, where he has practiced law for
some years. He is thoroughbred Repub-
lican and will make as good an Attorney
for the county as we have had for years
past.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR.
Levi Lamb, of Sutro, is the nominee for
Public Administrator and Coroner. Mr..
Lamb is the present incumbent, and while
there is very little business to transact in this
Office, what there has been, has always been
done we'll. Mr.. Lamb had no opposition
and was elected by reclamation.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
DR.. G. l. Leavitt, the nominee for long
term County Commissioner, is resident Of
Mason Valley, where he has practced medi-
cine for many years. He is we'll known,
and respected by all who know him, and is
quite heavy taxpayer. Should he be cleo
ted. which there is hardly doubt Of, we be-
lieve Mr.. Leayitt will make a very good
Commissioner.
Theo. Vinson, the nominee for short term
Commissioner from Silver City district, is
