The Republican County Conyen-
ton.

4 The candidates who failed to get a
nomination at the Republican County
Convention which met at Silver City
last Wednesday, have no reasons for
feeling sore over the results because
they were all beaten by good men. The
toute ensemble Of the ticket nominated
/ is not only good, but taken in detail, it's
features will bear the closest scrutiny.
1t was very harmonious convention,
and no defeated candidate can feel that
be was not given fair showing at
least. If defeat has carried with it
any feeling against the successful can
didstes, we have failed to note it.
The principal struggles were made
over the nominations for sheriff and
clerk OF the district court, for zach of
which places there were four candidates.
any one of whom would have been salts
factory to the party, and the nominees
will doubtless receive the hearty sup
port oftheir party friends.
Mr.. George O. Sam pson, the candi-
date who heads the county ticket, that
position by custom being always con-
cedsd to the candidate for sheriff, is
man whose intregity is too well known
to require a mention. That be will
make good and efficient officer who
will show no partiality, fear or favor,
everyone who knows the sterling quali-
ties of the man will concede.
Mr. Charles n. Crete, W ho carried off
the honors of the clerkship nomination.
was born in the county, and belongs to
one of Owyhees most respected and es-
eemed families, is an excellent busi
ness man and in every way fitted for
the position to which he aspres. The
most important county Office, most inn
portant in the sense, that the courts
and the people have more business with
it than any other, will be in good hands
if Charley gets there.
The nominees for county com mmission-
ers with William Nichols in the first
district, Robert Noble in the second
and William J. Cook, in the third,
insures a safe and conservative admins
tration of county affairs if these gentle
men carry their respective districts.
A. B. Crecheron has served one term
as assessor of the county with such en-
tire satisfaction to the people, that nc
one had the hardihood to run against
him for the nomination. Bibb's cleo
ton ought to be made unanimous.
The minor Offices generally go beg
ying in Owyhee, but the convention
succre eded i'll putting good names on the
ticke ct for all positions. S. t. N. Smith,
FOR treasurer, to succeed himself E.
Lewis, to continue in the Office of Pro-
bate Judge; Dr. ]. N. Weston, for
coroner and F. W. Hnlett for surveyor
vent without saying, and these nomi-
nations were spontaneously unanimous.
aturs the selection made was a most
excellent one in the person of Mr.. ]. ].
B. nnett, young DeLamar miner. Out
ide of DeLar'ar, Mr.. Bennett is a com
,arative stranger to the citizens of
)wyhee, and for this reason the NUGGET
nay be excused in saying for him more
han il would otherwise be called upon {
o do. Mr.. Bennett hae been working
lere for the past two years, and is
Iuiet, unabtrusive gentleman, temper
te, industrious and reliable. He is q
natural born and accomplished orator,
nd man in whom the workingmen of |
he county and state can safely place |
heir interests. We hope before the
is over that he will give the
ounty an opportunity to hear him and
make his acquaintance.
With all the foregoing remarks upon
he ticket, the NUGGET wishes it to be
that it is not party paper,
nd If the other parties bring out equal
y good men, mention will be made of
hem without partiality and quite as
airly.
