THE RE-NOMINEES.

The voters of Sacramento County have
every reason to be satisfied with the
ticket the Republican party presents for
their votes.
The Treasurer, County Clerk and Au-
ditor are renominated, because each has
proved efficient, thorough-g going. manly
and incorrupdble in Office. Against
them nothing can be raised by the oppo-
sition. They stand before the people as
departments, clean, economic and indus
trious.
The only shadow of charge laid is
that underlined and irresponsible state
ment that the Register made under super
vision of the County Clerk has been
stuffed. This is the veriest nonsense.
The challenge is made. and unaccepted,
to point out wherein, or how, or when,
single person has been registered whom
the Clerk had any power to reject. If
there is in any single line an illegal reg
istration, it is still time for the opponents
of the Clerk to point it out and have the
correction made.
If there is solitary word upon the
Register that has been illegally placed
there, it is common decency for the oppo-
sition to indicate where and what it is.
The RECoRD-UNIoN will not only gladly
publish any such illegal entries, but will
aid in their discovery, if those who lay
the charge in such general terms will
have the manliness to indicate even SO
much as the direction in which to proceed
to the discovery.
The truth is that all this business is
claptrap concerning registry stufing as a
charge against the Registry Clerks. 1t
may be that some persons have periured
themselves and falsely registered; if so.
and they are known or can be searched
out, the registration can be Cancelled, the
fraud made public and the perpetrators
punished, and our word for it the County
Clerk will be foremost in bringing the
offenders to justice. The truth is that,
excepting this partisan and underlined
charge about the register, from bench, bar,
litigants or the general public there has
not been a single word of complaint
against the Clerk. His administration
has been strong, correct and fawless.
The District Attorney has beer. re-
nominated by the Republican party, and
for the simple reason that we have never
had more successful, fearless and ener-
getic one Competency, youth, vigor, in
tellectual caliber and thorough knowI-
edge of the law, equip him peculiarly for
the position, and make his retention in
the Office matter of economy to the peo-
pie and of general benefit in enforcement
of the laws, the prosecution of offenders,
and in advising the county officers.
The nominee for Coroner is also an in
cumbent. That the county has ever had
or can secure more competent, cour-
teous, humane or energetic official. or one
giving more or as much of dignity and
character to the position, is not contro-
verted by even the bitterest opponent.
The one and only charge advanced against
him is that he has done so well that his
nomination for third term was a matter
of course.
The nominee for Sheriff has once filled
the Office, to his high credit and with
honor and profit to the county. He is one
of the most capable Sheriffs any county
has ever had: firm, exact, punctual, fear
less, he has the respect of all who have
had business with the Office during his
incumbency. Courteous, manly, big
hearted and square to a cent, he has the
esteem of all business and social circles.
The nominee of the Republican party
for Public Administrator has once before
filed the Office. His capacity, good citi-
zenship and public-spirited character are
matters with which all the people are
familiar, and not even the bitterest of the
opposition raise against him a single
breath of reproach. So the ticket stands as
to the county re-nominees unexceptional.
Tt is a ticket standing upon the high
plane of cleanliness, tried capacity and
HIGH character. 1t commands respect
and will receive the majority vote of the
psople of the county. Concerning the
