144 JULY 15 & 22, 1857 NEVADA DEMOCRAT
REBUILDING.—Mr. [W. N.] Waite is putting up a large blacksmith shop at the junction of big and
Little Deer creek. His shop, on the site of the present one, was washed off with all its contents last winter
by the rise in the creek occasioned by the breaking of Laird’s dam. Mr. Withington is also erecting a new
paint shop at the foot of Broad street.
[DISSOLUTION of firm of Rogers, Hamilton & Co. J. M. Hamilton alone will settle the business; H. I. Coye,

The Democratic Nominees.
We present to-day the names of the Democratic nominees for State officers. . . The result of the
primary elections held on the 27th of June, indicated plainly that John B. Weller was the choice of a large
majority of the party for Governor, and in obedience to the will of the masses, he has been designated as
the standard-bearer of the California Democracy in the ensuing political contest. . . .
John Walkup, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, has represented the county of Placer for
several years in the State Senate, and by his firmness and force of character has always maintained a
commanding position in that body. He is a man of talent, and his integrity has never been questioned.
The nomination of Stephen J. Field for Justice of the Supreme Court was a compliment to talent and
integrity well deserved. He has long maintained a leading position among the California bar.. .
The nominee for Attorney General, Mr. Williams, is a resident of El Dorado, and is said to be a
lawyer of ability. Mr. Mandeville, the candidate for Controller has represented Tuolumne county in the
State Senate several years, and has been an active and efficient member. Of Mr. [Thomas] Findley, the
candidate for [State] Treasurer, it is unnecessary for us to speak, as he is well known in this county as a
thorough business man. . . . John O’Meara, the nominee for State Printer, is a practical printer, and
thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office he will be called upon to discharge. . . .
DECLINED.—We received a few days ago, a communication signed “Many Democrats,”
announcing a gentleman of Rough & Ready as a candidate for the Senate. We cannot publish such
announcements unless we are paid for it, and we must also have the names of the parties, not for
publication, but as a guaranty of their good faith in making the announcement.
NEVADA SCHOOL.—We call the attention of our citizens to the new and comfortable school
house, erected by the School Trustees, and now finished throughout. It is located on the commanding site
in the rear of the residence of Rev. J. H. Warren. The lot on which it stands is over an acre in extent,
affording ample room for the healthful exercise of the children. The building is forty-eight feet long by
thirty deep, divided into two spacious rooms, each capable of accommodating about fifty scholars. It is
neatly finished, and well plastered. The house having two uniform fronts faces towards the east and west,
and being upon one of the highest elevations within the city, presents from many points an agreeable
appearance. We understand that it is the intention of the Trustees for the present to give the use of the
rooms to competent teachers for the purpose of establishing schools affording opportunities of education
equal in every respect to the wants of the community. The design is to have a female and male
department, in each of which will be taught the usual and also the higher branches. The department for
Misses and young ladies is now under the charge of Mrs. Parton, a lady highly accomplished and
