dlstrlst attorneys office and beinT in touch with all the litigation ant criminal prosecutions now pend ing, he is the logical successor to the office. For the past two years he has fulfilled the duties of olerl of the board of supervisors, and the familiarity with the affairs ot the county have double fitted him for the office of district attorney This Is in reality the most import ant office within the gift of the people, and their interests will be in safe hands after the election oi Thomas A. Flynn. MT. Flynn's address was along the lines of the national campaign, and his ar raignment of Speaker Cannon and Senator Beveridge, and his eulogy of Wm. J. Bryan evoked prolonged applause. Nor did he fail to oom- ment upon the statehood plank in the Republican national platform, to which a string has lately been affixed making statehood contin- gent on the sending of a republican n delegate to congress. MT. Flynn paid high tribute to Marcus A. Smith and predicted his election by great majority.
 Billy" Dickinson, the unassum- ing candidate for supervisor, was met with a greeting whose sponta- neity was markedly gratifying to his many friends. If brevity is the soul of wit, Billy beat Geary to it., but the fact that this was his maiden speech-shown by his blushes- was sufficient apology, and his ] graceful retirement from the ros- trum with his hand dangerously close to his hip pocket for "pill'' was followed by the applause of the audience. Honest as the day is long, Dickinson will make . su pervisor against whom no suspi- cion will rest.
 A. T. Cornish, Dickinson's run ming mate for supervisor, and for mer incumbent of the office, was next introduced, and the earnest ness of the chairman's words found response in the heart of every ma D who IS at al. familiar with Cernish's record. Ready at all times, he de- voted vastly more time to his duties than the law required; at a per sonal sacrifice he was ever on guard for the peoples good. and his de- termined staad against graft, tho making some enemies, endeared him in the respect of all citizens who look for fidelity in public off cials. His record as supervisor stands unimpeached and unim- peaehable, and in his character as a public official the democratic party takes a deep pride and pre- sents him again for the suffrage oi his fellow citizens.
 As the man whom the office sought. Edgar A. Brown. was pre- sented as the convention's unani nous choice for treasurer. With pleasant words for his opponent Brown in modest words let it be understood that as the nomination had come to him unsolicited. hii time from now till election would be used to show the people tha, the convention's choice would bt endorsed on Nov. 3rd. and those familiar with his reputation as 6 campaigner, know that he vii make good his words. His DO sition and experience as an expert accountant, furnish every assurance of his honesty and competency ano the taxpaysr's money will be saf. in his hands. Accommodating anc popular, he will make an idea treasurer, and his candidacy hal already met with genuine suppor from his many friends.
 Hon. L. 8. WilIia ms was presen ted as the successful aspirant fol the legislative assembly two yeari ago, and the candidate for re. cleo tion to the same office. The houl being late MT. Williams confined himself to brief address, com menting on his former term ir the lower house, and expressing tn, , hope that during the campaign h. would again have the opportunity of meeting all the voters and giv' them an account of his steward 1 ship. MT. Williams will be par ticularly remembered as an earn est advocate of the Scent fare rate f the 7c per ton freight rate and thu , mining tax law. He invites an in } speotion of his record, and such ar inspection will lead to his return to the legislature to continue th 5 good work accomplished by him.
