The first named are the People’s nominee – The next Democratic and independents last: District Attorney Charles N. FOX …. 549 – Maj. 44 H.A. SCOFILED 504 County Clerk B.G. LATHROP 526 – Maj 9 T.H. NOBLE 517 Robert BREET 51 Sheriff Silas H. Bowman 644 – Maj 138 John D. HAVENS 456 Tax Collector William A. CLARK 483 – 10 John AMES 473 John G. MOORE 141 W.H. SHREVE 1 Assessor Solomon H. SNYDER 586 – Maj 10 )Transcriber Note – numbers as printed but obviously not accurate – math or printing error) J.J. HILL 144 Treasurer Burns JOHN 590 Maj 120 W.C. CROOK 470 Surveyor A.S. EASTON 795 – Maj 558 S.B. Gilbert (not a candidate) 237 CORONER S.S. STAMBAUGH 676 – Maj 297 W.D. Church 379 M.B. ANGLE (not a candidate) 25 Public Administrator Charles LIVINGSTON 674 – Maj 277 D.W. ALDRICH 397 On township officers we were less successful. In the first township James BYRNES was elected. Mr. BYRNES is much of a politician, but as a business man is a good one. He is a man of strong prejudices, but of honest purposes and a faithful worker in whatever he undertakes. We have never seem him in any official position, but from our personal acquaintance with him are inclined to think that the fortunes of war have not thrown that office into bad hands. Mr. SWEENEY and Mr. RICE were tied for Road master, and yesterday the Board of Supervisors appointed A. SMITH to that position. In the second township we are also beaten on Supervisor and Road Master. Mr. AMES the successful candidate has had some experience in the office – is an active energetic man, and if he could separate politics from official duty, and personal from public ends, he would make an excellent officer. In the third township we made a clean sweep, except J. W. TURNER for Justice of the Peace, who was beaten by Wm. DURHAM. Geo. HARRINGTON was elected Supervisor by 224 majority. ASSEMBLY For this office there was a beautiful four cornered fight. The vote stood Stephen TILTON, Republican …. 408 – 44 A.T. SWART, Democrat 364 R.O. TRIPP, Independent 223 B.J. WHITTIER, Independent 109 FIRE COMPANY – We see a call out for a meeting to be held at the Court House on Wednesday evening next for the purpose of organizing a fire company. This move is certainly a commendable one, such a company being more needed here than any other place we know of. RESPONSIBLE – For the gratification of some of our friends who express a determination to hold somebody responsible for articles which have appeared in the GAZETTE during the canvass, we would say that C.N. FOX is the senior member of the firm of David DOWNER & Co. DOCTOR PERCY & CO., who’s advertisement appears in our columns, are said to be very scientific and practical Physicians and Surgeons, and have performed operations successfully requiring skill of no common order, which have been noticed in several of the San Francisco newspapers. Dr. PERCY & Co., are fast establishing an enviable reputation in the State of California, in their profession, which could only be obtained by well deserved merit. We call particular attention to their advertisement, which will enlighten our readers concerning the cures that they can effect, and even by simply corresponding with them, giving the symptoms of their diseases. Address Dr. PERCY & Co, 514 Dupont Street, San Francisco. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
