claims of any one candidate, to the injury
Of another, while it is the organ Of the whole

and whether in or out Of official position
All these facts are known to all old residents
Of the county, and need at this time TO fur
ther comment from us.


B. ID. Dunnam our present Democratic Sheriff
is also announced as a candidate for re-nom-
ination to the office of Sheriff. Mr.. Dunnam
is an old-time citizen and Democrat of Pa
Ger who has never faltered in the party faith
or failed to be prompt, efficient, competent,

campaign he run ahead of his ticket and was
elected when most of the ticket was beaten
As Sheriff of the county for the past four
teen months he has made most faithful,
prompt, correct and efficient officer In a
word, with either Mr.. Crutcher or Dunnam
or Mr.. Carder, whose name will be found in
the same column, and to whom we referred
editorally, on the 22d ult, as candidate
for Sheriff, the party and people of the coun-
ty will have a man that commands the res
psct and deserves the support CT all who be
lieve in good, faithful, efficient and honest
officers.


In our announcements Of candidates will
also be found the name of Major NJ. SWEET
of Yankee Jims, for Public Administrator
and Coroner. Major SWEET has been a citi-
zen of Placer on the Forest Hill Divide for
the past fifteen years, engaged in mining and
carpentering. lie is, in every sense of the
word, working, reading, active, honest,
good citizen, always faithful to the true
principles of the party and the great inter
ests of the county and country. His quail
tications for the duties of the offices are good
and he would make faithful and honest
officer and lend strength to the ticket.


In the same column will be found the
name of j. E. Campbell announced as a can
didate for District Attorney Mr.. Campbell
" young lawyer, admitted TO the bar some
two years ago. He has grown to manhood
in the county, studied law with General

he was even voter, Mr.. Campbell has been
firm, active and true Democrat. j. L.
Campbell is well known in the Central and
Southern half of Placer where lie has occas-
ionally canvassed for the party.


There is now but little doubt but the can
didates placed in the field this Fall by the
Democracy will be elected, and we urge our
taxpayers of the county to make themselves
familiar with the qualifications of each can
didate as announced that we may select those
who will be honest and an honor to the coun-
ty when elected, and not such as have been
curse and shame to our people for years.


STATE CENTRAL CoMMTrEE MEETING. At
at the head Of these columns will be found
the call for meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee to be held at San Fran
cisco on Thursday evening next. The Com
mittee should, and doubtless will call a State
Convention to assemble in Sacramento at an
early day in June, TO nominate a full Sta.e
ticket We may possibly be able to an
nounce the day and place of meeting of the
Convention i'll our next issue. The contest
this year is one that involves the most vital
interests Of the great mass of the people of
the State, and especially in this county
where they have been swindled and robbed
for years by monopoly and its official tools
There is no longer hope for the taxpayers Of
Placer through the Republican organization.
1t is ruled by clicque that robs friend and
foe alike outside of its own pets and pap
suckers 1t is to the Democracy that all
good tax-paying Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats must look for relief. In this view we
ask the people to wake up and be ready
ruch delegates as will nominate only good
and true men for Office on our ticket
