we take pleasure IN congratulatinS IN


true-hearted, principle-loving Dcmocrac!


Of Ell Dorado county, upon the harmoni


Gus termination Of the labors Of theil


County Convention, and the fairness ant


earnestness Of that body in their selection


Of candidates for Senators and Assembly


men, to be voted for at the next genera


election. The Democracy can point with


pride and pleasure to their ticket. VIZ


have nominated a ticket that has given


universal satisfaction-a ticket that al


parties admit is strong, worthy Of support


and entirely unobjectionable-a ticket


that will be cordially, warmly, cnthusias-


tically supported-a ticket that will draw


out the full strength Of the Democratic


party. Nearly all our nominees are old


settlers, well acquainted with the people,


their views andwants, identified with the


interests Of the county, permanent resi-


dents and having their all in our State.


We make no special designation, as all


are equally entitled to our regard and


hearty support. 1t is probable that we


would have selected different persons, but


the nominees of our party will always find


in US earnest and ardent advocates. A


nomination by Democratic Convention


is, and always has been sufficient en-.


dorsement for us.


The Democracy of Ell Dorado county,


we are proud to say, are delighted with


their nominees, and are prepared to enter


the field Of contest with buoyant hearts


and . bold front. Their candidates are


men whom they delight to support; nor


is there a man who can say aught against |
any one of them which is calculated to
initiate against his integrity y.--Somc of
them we have known long and intimately,
and it affords US pleasure to bear testi.
mOny to their sterling worth, past services
and devotion to principle. They have
been long amongst us, -enjoy the conf
dence and esteem Of the masses, so that
ell their acts are familarly known to all.
The merit ofevcry aspirant was fairly and
honorably canvassed by those who had
the right to vote. None were actuated
by spirit Of personal enmity or jealousy.
The motive which induced the result was
Of a higher nature. The controlling prin-
ciple was the general success of the ticket.
The fairness which characterized the de-
liberations Of the Convention is made
patent by the nominations. That the
Delegates had the success Of the Democ-
racy at heart is an irresistible conclusion,
from a careful examination of their iabors


We ask the masses to examine our
ticket carefully. 1t is q ticket that will
carry the county by storm. 1t is beyond
all odds the strongest and by far the best,
ablest and most popular that has ever been
to the Democracy of FL Dorado
for their support. 1t is a ticket composed
Of the best and purcst and most influen-
tial and intelligent men of our county-of
old and permanent citizens, who have
made this their home. Not man on it
is tinctured with any Of the odous isms
Of the day. They are all National, Union
loving men, standing on the broad, firm,
clearly defined Democratic platform. Not
one of them occupies a doubtful position.
by principle, they are entitled to
and will receive an enthusiastic support.


With bright prospects before US, pros
poets daily growing brighter, with ticket !
We are proud of and principles that have |
been sanctioned by the greatest and purest
statesmen OF our country, with an enemy
weakened by dissensiOn, dsheartencd and
dissatisfied with their nominees, and daily
becoming moro so, We enter upon the
We have everything to en-
courage us-nothing to depress us. Inter-
nal dissensions have sprung up in the
camp Of the enemy, and many faithful old
soldiers refuse longer to be dictated to by
the idol of majority of his party, Mr..
ConneSs. Some Of the most prominent
members of the Douglas faction, have too
much manliness and independence to
tamely submit to the commands of Mfr.
Conness, and they hesitate not to openly
declare they will support our ticket.


And now, Democrats, all we ask of you
is to go to work-wOrk earnestly and un.
until the day Of election, and
you will achieve glorious victory. You
have the enemy in your grasp-allow them |
not to escape. Organize in every precinct |
and be prepared to give your candidates,
when they visit you, a cordial welcome.
Do this, and the result will be most graft
flying.
