THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

COLl plctC Dc ~ VII ONf AuShAHS ShiJ
nominations for the offices of sheriff
and recorder. w. Sinclair, who
was one Of the nominees for the as
sembly, has been compelled to retire
owing to pressure of private business
and the vacancy has been filled by
the name Of W. J. Williams, while the
nomination for county clerk has been
accepted by S. S. Williams. In our
last issue reference was made to the
nominations as they then stood, and
the unequivocal endorsement Of the
ticket in general is repeated with
emphasis today. The substitution of
w. j. Williams for w. ]. Sinclair does
not detract one iota from the strength
of this ticket. Mr.. Williams is an
old time resident of Austin, and has
lived in Tonopah for over three and a
half years, and for three years has
worked as a miner in the Mizpah
mine. He is a man Of high intelli-
gence, sound common sense and
strong purpose, holding the respect
of all who know him, and should not
only be acceptable to the labor party
but with r. b. Davis and George
Keough, he will most assuredly com
mand the undivided support of the
Republicans and the votes of many
Democrats. With these three men
in the assembly, and 7. L. Oddie in
the state senate, Nye county in gen
eral and Tonopah in particular could
not possibly be more strongly repre-
scented in the state legislature. They
are the pick Of the sound, solid, level
headed business men of this county,
whose interests can be served only
by the advancement of this district
and the passing of laws compatible
with the dignity and Importance OF
the state at large and of the City of
Tonopah. The nominee for treas
urer, r. f. Gilbert is so well known
as the present incumbent that it is
scarcely necessary to refer to his
sterling qualities. He has filed the
office efficiently and to the satisfac-
ton Of all and no mar can do more.
In w. NJ. Sawle for justice of the
peace, we have one of Tonopah's pic
neers, a man of the people imbueC
with those rare qualities, common
sense, and knowledge of his fellow
men, which eminently fit a man fol
such an office, a lover of law and or
der. welded to justice he is certainl,
entitled to be elected. No bette
man for public administrator coul,
have been found than Charles D
| Wonacott. He is so well known, hi
record so clean, his personality S
acceptable that in every way be
the nan for the Office. The nomine
r for constable, Alex Mckenzie, i
known to all, raised on the Comstock
a pioneer in this camp, a good Re
publican, who believes in the mair
tenance Of the law, and will Oil til
office with credit to himself and hi
friends. With c. b. Coykendall fo
surveyor, w. T. Cuddy and G. 1
Bradley for county commissioner
J the high grade of the ticket is we
maintained. Good business men
the town, of high reputation, though
full and clear-headed, they appear
have been ''made to order"
It is of course unusual for a Repul
: lican ticket to be adopted withol
: nominees for the important Offices
sheriff and recorder, for the formt
" Tom McCabe is running as the Den
Z ocratic candidate and Tom Logan
= Independent. Both are good me
- and both will make good sherifTs an
- in this case the Republican voter ca
weigh in the balance the individu
merits of each man and vote for IL
is best, irrespective of party polite
Of The same may be said Of the cand
g dates for the office of recorder, Y
ir J. Rice the present incumbent can |
m judged by his deeds. "Puddy
he Grimes is another of Tonopah's pi
,e neers whom not to know is to be u
he known, it is another case wheI
