ticket, one that will challenge the very
best there is in the Democratic party of
the county to meet it on level.


best there is in the Democratic party of
the county to meet it on a level.
The unanimous and enthusiastic nomi-
nation for reelection of Judge W. C. Van
Fleet to the Superior bench was grace
full and patriotic tribute to competent,
faithful and upright Judicial officer Oc-
cupying, as he does, position on the
bench he could not we'll come before the
Convention and enter into contest for the
place. But it was not needed the place
sought him-the Convention, echoing the
will of the people, took up the nomination
of Judge Van Fleet before doing any
other business, and made it with a spirit
and with an earnestness that was compli-
mentary to the young jurist in the high
est sense, and constituted a recognition of
his worth and ability of which he will be
proud to his latest day. In the selection
of Hon. A. p. Catlin for the other Judg-
ship of the Superior Court, the Conyen-
tion did itself honor and recognized the
high legal attainments and eminent serv-
ices of one of the foremost citizens of the
State. His nomination is tower of strength
to the ticket, and but small reward to
one of the first of pioneer Republicans and
citizen who has done so much for his
State
The Legislative nominees, Messrs. Bru-
ner and Brusie; the nominees for District
Attorney, Clerk, Recorder, Administrator
Superintendent of Schools and Surveyor
Messrs. Ryan, Rhoads, johnson, Harlow,
Howard and Boyd, respectively, are well
known to the people, have held official
stations with credit to the county and
State and honor to themselves, and give
the ticket material elements of strength.
The denomination of Sheriff McMullen
was certificate OF approval of faithful
and thoroughly competent officer.
Mr.. Sims was nominated for Assessor
and Mr.. Lyon for Treasurer. The former
nomination was in response to the respect
ful and proper request of the country to
have given to that section certain of the
nominations. Mr.. Sims has aspired before
to this station. but not until now has his
effort met with success He is a widely
known agriculturist, a representative citi-
zen, and has the confidence and esteem of
the people of the county, and is most
important factor Of strength on the ticket.
Mr.. Lyon is one of the old-time merchants
of Sacramento. A man of irreproachable
character, one universally esteemed, whose
name and business and social standing are
synonymous with honesty, capacity and
manliness. These two have not held Office
and they will therefore go before the peo-
pie with the strength that attaches to
the first presentation of citizens name
upon ticket as the choice of his party.
For Coroner, a young man of business
skill and wide popularity, George H.
Clark, has been chosen as the nominee.
He has had experience as Deputy Coro.
ner, and is everywhere in the county ad-
mired for his energy and young manly
vigor and capacity. Add to these strong
nominations that of A. J. Senate, an old
and sterling citizen, who has served the
people well and faithfully as a School
Director, and of Thomas Jenkins, a we'll
known and respected business man, as
nominees for Supervisors, and it will be
realized how strong and complete a
ticket the Republican party has put up.
We cannot conceive of an opposing ticket
possible to the local Democracy that can
stand before it. The nominations related
to this ticket are of minor importance,
but that for Police Judge of the city and
for Justices, Messrs. Davis, Derine and
Starr, respectively, are representative, able,
personally strong, and will command the
support, not only of the men of the party,
but of a great number outside Of it and of
other political faiths.
Now that the party cohorts are in the
field and the line of battle is determined,
let US hope that all past divisions will
be put aside not again to be resumed
that but one end will be had in view
the success of the whole ticket, and that
every Republican, who has any faith
whatever in the virtue of party organiz-
alton will labor to secure for Sacramento
county an old time Republican majority
for the whole ticket presented for indorse-
ment by the electors of the county
