Year: 1863

This gentleman is an old resident of Placer
and lawyer by profession he has twice served
the people of this county in the State Legislature
with marked and distinguished ability During
| the first session he was a member of that august
body, he made his mark, in successfully aiding in
defeating the " negro testimony bill'-an Act
which was intended to elevate an inferior race to
q political and social equality with the white.
During the session of '62 and '63, being the last
one, Mr.. Dudley was the acknowledged leader in
the House, of the Democratic wing although
wofully in the minority he made himself and par
| ty heard and felt. He opposed with great force
and ability the " negro bill, y" decapitation Act"
and other obnoxious bills. If any man ever was
entitled to hearty support it certainly is Mr..
Dudley. We presume, without doubt, that the
people of this county will have the pleasure of
hearing Mr.. Dudley speak for himself during the
present campaign The next in order is
E. L. BRADLRY, ESQ.,:


This gentleman is resident of Dutch Flat,
| large property owner, an influential citizen and
thoroughly identified with the interests Of Placer
county. He is gentleman of ability-and high
y esteemed by every one who enjoys the pleasure
OF his acquaintance. The Dutch Flat Enquirer
speaks as follows in regard to him
" He is not a politician. He has been resident
OF our county for the last eleven years. and dur
ing this entire time has been Democrat. When
the present difficulties broke out which at present
divide the people of our country, Mr.. Bradley was
|
the Union, and has ever since exerted his influence
and contributed largely from his private means to
aid in sustaining the government and mnsterng
to the relief of the sick and wounded who have
been battling for the Constitution, He attends
strictly TO his business, is entirely honest, and
possesses character for decision and foresight sell
dom met with in persons in the private walks of
life. The people will only have to know him to
give him their cheerful support. II elected, he
will do more for the interests of his constituents
than any man that has preceded him !; for, by his
| straightforward and manly course he will COM
mand the respect which the vasciating ever seek,
but never obtain He is largely interested in our
county and will devote himself to the welfare of
every section.'


| STEPHEN A. Boutwell,:


This gentleman is a candidate for the Assembly,
and received the nomination at the hands of the
Democratic party without dissenting voice. At
| the time he was unanimously ominated the very
earth quaked with the spontaneous rapture of ap-
plause. He will, if elected make no carpet
bag member. as he possesses large property in
terests in the county and is Il man of family. He
is one Of the old pioneers Of the county-and has
already taken great interest in the county's well
fare There is no stauncher Democrat in the land, J.,
and none calculated to better serve the dear peo-
pie than this prince of gentlemen.


ID. W. PERKINS:


Everybody aud everybody's young one knows
Dana Perkins, as he is familarly known. This
gentleman. like the balance of the nominees has
been resident of the county so long that the
| memory of man knOweth not. For many years
he was resident of Pine Grove, and made him
self quite popular as a landlord OF an excellent
kept hotel, and as generous hearted citizen. He
possesses no mean ability, and although no orator
would accomplish rs much as the best in the way
Of good legislation for the people.


J.C BALL:


This long life Democrat was the unanimous
choice of the Convention, and to say one single
word in his praise would be insulting an intelli-
gent people who have been old residents of the
county and know his qualifications to letter. To
those who have come among us recently we will
state, he is an old poneer-a gentleman of more
than ordinary ability-fully identified with the
interests of the county-a true, loyal, cOnstitu
tional loving DemOcrat-a terror to negro wor
shippers, and gentleman who, when he takes his
seat in the halls Of our State council, will WELD
q power second to none.


HENRY GooDING


If there is a man, woman or child in Placer
county that does not know Henry we would like
to procure good look at them any one who
doesn't know him could get big salary from Bar
mum. He has been before the people of this coun-
ty several times, and each time has had the proud
satisfaction of being handsomely indorsed. He
would not again be before the people asking their
support for the Office of Sheriff if the Republi-
cans had not ungenerOusly and without cause or
provocaton ousted him from Office before he had
served out but little more than half Of the term
he was elected for One year ago he was chosen
to fill his present office by large and overwhelm
ing majority and too, in face of Il hard and bitter
struggle. If he was worthy of that endorsement
then, why is he not doubly so now? During the
short time that he served in his present capacity,
without blowing or endeavoring to gain notorie-
ty, he has gone steadily ahead performing his
I,,z a. 81 ~, l,..1
bers, and at times narrowly escaped the jaws of
death. AS the Republicans go u good deal on ex-
cellent detectives they now have a pretty good
opportunity of proving their sincerity. We will
say in conclusion, that we will bet our old boots
that HENRY GoODING is elected by one thousand
majority and we honestly believe there will be
no takers.


A. HUNTLEY:


This gentleman, who received the nomination
for County Clerk. we are not personally acquaint-
ed with He is resident of Forest Hill, and for
many years has been employed as a clerk in some
Mill in that vicinity. He isno politician Office
seeker but is pronounced good sound Democrat.
From all accounts he is one Of the most popular
men OIL the Divide. If the Democracy and the
&" well-wishers' of Placer study their own inter
ests, they will certainly give him good hearty
support and elevate him to the Office Of County
Clerk.


Z. NJ. BANyARD:


Has again been placed before the people fol
their suffrages for the office Of County Treasurer
He is another one of those unfortunate indvidu
ais that comes under the decaptatiOn Act passed
by the Republican Legislature last wiIter, in or
der to secure the place he now holds and is IN as
pirant again for The voters of Placer have goo(
reason to be proud of the choice they made las
fall, and we know they are not particularly thank
full to those who declared that he should not serve
his full term. He is acknowledged by his polfti
cal opponents to be the best and most competen
Treasurer this county ever had. Although
staunch and unwavering Democrat, he is not ont
of that class who goes head-over-heels into poll
tce. He is not only deserving of every Demo
cratic vote in the county, but of those who ditie
with him. He has proved himself honest beyond
q shadow of doubt, and therefore deserves thu
support of men Of all political shades.
