The Men Who Won and Lost at the Polls on Tuesday. Retiring Officials Who H ave [lade Records to Be Proud Of. It is a pity that there are not enough offices in the country to go around so that every citizen who wanted and deserved the honors and emol and keep it just as long as he uments of one might have it pleased. _Jubilant.as the TRANSCRIPT is as a staunch and uncompromosing Republican newspaper over the glorious and almost complete victory that the Republican party won at thie polls day before yesterday—rejoicing as it rejoices ‘at the signal triumph of the principles and men it supported with all its might and main, this p aper is filled with regret at the thought of the gallant fellows on the other side who went down in honorable defeat, as well as for the fate of those in its own ranks who fell with them. It seems like the irony of ’ fate that ina Republican year like this such stalwarts as _ Ryan, Wilhelm, Cooke and Young should have been left upon the field; but we must remember that opposed to them as well as to those our party bore to victory, were a host of other as good citizens as the State can boast; as honorable, capable and sincere men as ever marched under any political banner or anybody ever had the friendship of. The losers as:well as the be to their everlasting glory, winners made a fight that will and to those who did lose in this county at léast we are sure n6 pangs of conscience will ever come in thinking back over the story of the campaign. In reviewing our fight here at home, we are indeed proud of the men selected to look beginning next January. As for Marion De Vries, Nevada county seems to have adopted him as one of her own favorite sons, judging from her expression of sentiment at the last two Congressionalelections. That he has been faithful to her has never been disputed, and there is no reason to suspect that he will in the future prove recreant to the trust she has for the second time reposed in him. Like Frank D. Ryan, he has a long record of pledges kept, a record that is untainted by aught that sullies a man’s name. No Republican in all the canvass this talleven hinted at incapacity or insincerity so far as Mr. De Vries was concerned; 2nd We.sAY WEA eUR tory to say of Mr Ryan. That partisanship was sunk in this contest goes without saying. It seemed to be with a majority of the people of the county, as well as of the district, a mere matter of rewarding the former with another term of offiee for past services well performed. Mr. Ryan was not defeated for any lack of regard the people had forhim. His failure appears to have been solely due to the fact that an impression prevailed that if he were honored at the expense of his opponent it would be an undeserved display of ingratitude toward the latter. Another equally notable instance of the people’s gratitude to a public servaut who has been tried and not found W. S. Robinson. wanting was the re-election of Hon, Ww. 8. Robinson as Assemblyman. For two years past he has represented us in the legislative halls at Sacramento. At all times and under all circumstances he had an eye single. to the welfare of his constituents. For himself he sought no aggrandizement, no glory. His constant aim was to protect and advance the substantial interests of those who had called him to their service. He did it unostentatiously, but always effectively. His straightforwardness, his independence of character, won for him the co-opération of the best element in the Assembly. He will go back there next year even better prepared than before to accomplish for us such measures as may redound to our continued pros. ’ perity. If the Legislature of California had in the past. been composed in a greater measure of such men as Mr. Robinson it would never have gone down to history as“The Legislature of . a Thousand Scandals.” The people of Nevada county accentuated by their vote on Tuesday their desire to have the laws upon the statute books rigidly enforced. Mr. Getchell had in°’the performance of his duties “hewed to the line,” and the issue raised against him in many quarters after Nevada county’s interests . The splendid majority that he received ; demonstrated in no uncertain way that the official who performs his duty without fear or favor is the one above all others that the people most desire to have serve them. It is such loyalty to prineiple, such earnestness and promptDana B. Getchell. ness as Mr. Getchell has manifested in the past, that win the confidence and endorsement of every good man when he stops to consider the subject: in all its phases. , It isan aphorism among those who know him that whatever Fred Arbogast hasto do he does well. Although yet a young man, he has for a number of years been one of our county’s most successful school-teichers. The education to equip him for this profession was a thorough one, and he obtained it througb his own efforts. Ever since the day when he left the paternal’ farm near -this city where he first saw the light of day his course has been up: ward and onward. Of course he has at times encountered obstacles, but his rugged character has led him ‘to persist in his ambitions and he has each time as he pressed forward found those sseming obstacles to be mere shadows The citizens of the county have now called on him to fill one of their most important offices—tbat of County Clerk. They will find that in this position in life, as in. all others he has been cailed upon to fill, he will meet ali the requirements in an eminently satisfactory way. One of the few “brands plucked from the burning” by the Democrats, as it were, is Henry Schroeder of Rough and Ready. -A_ worthier man to serve as County Assessor could be presented by no.party. As a deputy under the capable administration of Assessor Martin he displeyed in an eminent degree his capabilities for that class of work. He is naturally a keen judge of property values and the practical training he has enjoyed has served to familiarize him with every detail of thé duties that will Fred L, Arbogast. ee devolve upon him as the head of the office.

The Recorder of Nevada county has no sinecure. If he attends to business as faithfully as John Werry has in the past he earns twice over every cent’s pay he gets. It was because of his efficiency, as well as the fact that everybody who ever called at that office got a warm welcomeand acheerv word —---p vaeu wuu poupie announced & the polls this week they did not want a change in the administration. . There is a sort of half-feeling prevalent that if anything should bappen to genial John Werry we would have to do without a Recorder’s office. While this would not probably be so, at the same time it wdirid be no slight undertaking to find another man who would be both so efficient and popular in that -capacity. Nevada county has at various times Josiah J. Jackson. bad some excellent talent in the office of District Attorney; but it is no disparagement to those who have gone before to say that none of them were more eminently qualified for the place than will be the next incumbent. E, B. Power is one of the brightest and best adapted men yet selected for the position since the county’s organization. He is thoroughly grounded in the science of law and has. had a number of years’ successful experinence in its practice. He is an indomitable worker and has the knack of applying his knowledge to the right case at_ the. right time. As the public prosecutor he canbe depended upon to exercise the most profound discretion and the viser of the couuty he can always be trusted. That the parents and other friends of the public schools of the county desire to have their present bigh standard of excellence maintained, and improvements made wherever and whenever possible, was uamistakably manifested by them Tuesday when they re-elected W.J. Rogers as County -‘Superintendent of Schools. Mr: \Rogers’~ several administrations have been a_ series of successes that have earned and maintained the approval of teachers, patrons and pupils. He is an enthusiast in his work—a clean, dignified gentleman of ability and up-to-date ideas. His re-election is the strongest imaginable indorsement that could be bestowed upon him, and he cannot well do otherwise than be highly gratified over it. x, Thomas J. Torpie, one of the only two Democrats ‘on the county ticket that succeeded in getting elected, was for some years a well-known miner of strictest impartiality. As the legal aac upon the county ticket is that of County Surveyor, it isa position. that should be filled by the best available talent. The voters so regarded the matter when they chose Waldo W. Waggoner, who is not only a civil engineer of long experience and great success, but who has for years made a study of the important subject. of the constuction of wagon roads. The county will profit to an inestimable extent by reason of obtaining Mr. Waggoner’s services. Those Who Retire. Those of our present county officers who are shortly to retire to private’ life have served the people faithfully and well, and it would be ungracious and ungrateful on our part to dismiss them without a public expression showing John Werry. that their services have been of a character to entitle them to the highest honors. As County Clerk John J. Greany has made a record of which he may well feel proud. Thorough, accommodating and untiring in the performance of the muititudinous duties attached to that position, both Mr. Greany and Deputy Nilon have won golden opinions. William H. Martin’s administration of the County Assessor’s office has been a model one in every respect. He and the corps of faithful and compe-’ . tent deputies with which he surrounded himself have given their best efforts to the county with the result that their work will be referred to for all time to come as among the most ef. fective and satisfactory done in that. department of the local government. It will be like Paley old friend to see B. F. Snell out ofthe County Treasurer’s office. No man in Nevada coun. ty has more warm personal friends, no . county officer has ever enjoyed more widespread esteem. He has been faithfui to the trust reposed in him by the — T. J. Torpie. voters years ago, and has so sérved them from first to last_as to win their approbation. In the office of District Attorney, which Captain P. T. Riley quit a few months ago to lead his brave—boys in blue to other scénes where his country called, Captain Riley did not fail-to his faithfulness as a public official. ’ By his business-like methods and the integrity that marked all his transactions, E. W. Schmidt has as Public Administrator earned a reputation as one of the very best. officers that ever John J. Greany. served the county in any capacity. It is a place of trust rather than of profit, and Mr. Schmidt’s every act in connection with it has demonstrated in no uncertain way that he is worthy the confidence of his fellow citizens. The minor offices of Coroner and of Surveyor have been admirably filled by John Hocking and by Lieut. Fred M. Miller. They have _ illustrated that whatever duty one has to perform, no matter how slight that duty may be,» a man honors himself when he succeeds in performing it well, oe Henry Daniels. Drank For Neuralgia. Last night Constable Scott arrested a man for being drunk. He gave his name as George Miller and said he came here from Marysville because he could not get work there. His excuse for being drunk was that he had neuralgia, took two or three pretty stiff horns to ease the pain, and the “medicine” went to his head. Justice Holbrook sent him to the county jail for ten days in order. that his neuralgia might subside: Nearly All Nevada Cityans. With the exception of the Assemblyman, County Superintendent and Coroner, who live at Grass Valley, all the ‘county officers elected in this county last Tuesday are residents of Nevada City. The matter of locality does not seem to cut any figure with the voters — cod Will Build Here. County Assessor-elect Schroeder has concluded to build a house at. this city and make his future home here. / Chop Your Mince Meat .

Turner's Candidacy For the Miners’ '* Assoclation Secretaryship. R. H. Turner, son of the pioneer . hardware dealer at this city, is a candidate for election as Secretary of the Miners’ Association of California which will meet in San Francisco this month. Julian Sonntag, the present very efficient and popular secretary, has expressed his determination to not serve longer, owing to the demands of his private” business affairs. Mr. Turner is especially fitted for the position. He is a young man of broad education in the mining as well as the business world and has a thorough legal training. For years he has been familiar with the workings and progress of the mining industry in all its bearings. He is known to.many of the mining men throughout the State, and has the confidence of them all. He will go into the convention with a strong following and should be given the place. “He will demonstrate his abilityas-atawyerand Tp, the choice of the leading mining county of the State—a county that has heretofore been unrecognized in the make-up of the board of executive officers. We think it would be nothing more than right to confer this place upon Mr. Turner. The only other dspirants are exState Minerologist Crawford of San Francisco and E. M. Benjamin of Alaact on the part of both of these gentlemen to withdraw from the contest and let Nevada county name one of its favorite sons to succeed Mr. Sonntag. oe she Women Teachers. In this country there are almost twice as many women who follow the profession of teaching as there are men, and the disparity is said to be on the increase. In Prussia out of 68,000 teachers only 9,000 are women, and in the German empire there are 135,000 teachers and something like 10,000,000 pupils. There are about 140,000 teachers in France, 10,000 more women than Inen. Great Britain follows with only . 10,000 teachers so far as known, al'though the most ordinary reader of English novels will feel that she can count up half that, many as having been “friendless governesses” in the books she has read, says an observant critic. -2@e To Examine Militiamen. Incident to the intention of the military authorities of this State to rehabilitate the National Guard of Califorjnia, Major Foster L. Atkinson, Surgeon, Second Infantry, N. G.

No man in Nevada coun. ty has more warm personal friends, no . county officer has ever enjoyed more widespread esteem. He has been faithfui to the trust reposed in him by the — T. J. Torpie. voters years ago, and has so sérved them from first to last_as to win their approbation. In the office of District Attorney, which Captain P. T. Riley quit a few months ago to lead his brave—boys in blue to other scénes where his country called, Captain Riley did not fail-to his faithfulness as a public official. ’ By his business-like methods and the integrity that marked all his transactions, E. W. Schmidt has as Public Administrator earned a reputation as one of the very best. officers that ever John J. Greany. served the county in any capacity. It is a place of trust rather than of profit, and Mr. Schmidt’s every act in connection with it has demonstrated in no uncertain way that he is worthy the confidence of his fellow citizens. The minor offices of Coroner and of Surveyor have been admirably filled by John Hocking and by Lieut. Fred M. Miller. They have _ illustrated that whatever duty one has to perform, no matter how slight that duty may be,» a man honors himself when he succeeds in performing it well, oe Henry Daniels. Drank For Neuralgia. Last night Constable Scott arrested a man for being drunk. He gave his name as George Miller and said he came here from Marysville because he could not get work there. His excuse for being drunk was that he had neuralgia, took two or three pretty stiff horns to ease the pain, and the “medicine” went to his head. Justice Holbrook sent him to the county jail for ten days in order. that his neuralgia might subside:

Turner's Candidacy For the Miners’ '* Assoclation Secretaryship. R. H. Turner, son of the pioneer . hardware dealer at this city, is a candidate for election as Secretary of the Miners’ Association of California which will meet in San Francisco this month. Julian Sonntag, the present very efficient and popular secretary, has expressed his determination to not serve longer, owing to the demands of his private” business affairs. Mr. Turner is especially fitted for the position. He is a young man of broad education in the mining as well as the business world and has a thorough legal training. For years he has been familiar with the workings and progress of the mining industry in all its bearings. He is known to.many of the mining men throughout the State, and has the confidence of them all. He will go into the convention with a strong following and should be given the place. “He will demonstrate his abilityas-atawyerand Tp, the choice of the leading mining county of the State—a county that has heretofore been unrecognized in the make-up of the board of executive officers.

Benjamin of Alaact on the part of both of these gentlemen to withdraw from the contest and let Nevada county name one of its favorite sons to succeed Mr. Sonntag. oe she Women Teachers. In this country there are almost twice as many women who follow the profession of teaching as there are men, and the disparity is said to be on the increase. In Prussia out of 68,000 teachers only 9,000 are women, and in the German empire there are 135,000 teachers and something like 10,000,000 pupils. There are about 140,000 teachers in France, 10,000 more women than Inen. Great Britain follows with only . 10,000 teachers so far as known, al'though the most ordinary reader of English novels will feel that she can count up half that, many as having been “friendless governesses” in the books she has read, says an observant critic. -2@e To Examine Militiamen.
