REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

LII SGlecUlHS tile ICS lSldttNC ticket the county convention dis played rare judgment and fore sight in placing before the peo- pie r. L. Ewing for the council and Capt. F. $. Ingalls, for the assembly.
 F. l.. Ewing has lived in this county for many years and has served the people in several positions of>trust and confidence, in each of which he has given entire satisfaction. He is one of our leading business men and is known by all us a man of in tegrity and ability. Politically he has always been republican and while he is always counted a good party man, he Is never a radical but ranks among the conservative class and as a pub lie servant he will represent the whole people. It is a source of much qualification to us to say that he is not an office seeker In his case the office sought the man. The party with one voice demanded his nomination and when the convention unanimous ly declared the will of an united party by placing him at the head of the ticket the vast audience in attendance shouted their ap- proval in thunderous applause.
 Captain F. s. Ingalls, is a man whose reputation is not confined within the boundary limits of our county. Years ago he served as assistant to the secretary of the territory and later was twice superintendent of the territorial prison, since which time he has been a valuable citizen of Yuma county. After his term as sup. erintendent of the prison he set tied in the Yuma valley and for years devoted his time and en- ergy in securing the develop ment of that magnificent terri tory. He has served as treas urer of Yuma county, mayor of the town of Yuma and school trustee of this district and in every position in which his peo- pie have placed him he has al ways been true blue. He IS one of those broad minded men whose every desire is to be of service to his home and country. In the legislative halls he will be a representative of the true American type.
 Two better men than Ewing and Ingalls could not have been chosen to head the ticket.
 JOHN M. SPEESE.
 It would be a difficult task in deed for us to say something new about John Speese. Every miner and farmer in the county knows him and every one is proud to call John a friend. As sheriff of the county he made an enviable record. The affairs of the office were administered in business-like manner and at a minimum of cost to tho tax payer. John is no office seeker and when his successful term of office expired two years ago he went to work heroically to do his country great service by constructing canal to irrigate a portion of our arid lands. His project is we'll under way and the canal an assured fact. When 1 1t is completed and forty or fifty thousand acres of land, which is now worthless, is reclaimed and converted into prosperous homes the people will realize more fully the value of this good man. His nomination was demanded by the people-democrats as wellas republicans-and, in answering this demand, the convention nominated a sure winner. John 1 will be the next sheriff of Yuma 1 county.
 SMITH AND CLARK.
 In no instance did the conven- tion show the good sense of the delegates than in their selection ! of our candidates for supervis- OTIS. Unlike the democratic del l egates, they recognized and | acted upon the principle
