172 AUGUST 14 & 21, 1857 NEVADA JOURNAL
AMERICAN PRIMARY TOWNSHIP ELECTION.—The Americans met at Temperance Hall, on
Saturday last, at 2 P.M., according to notice, for the purpose of electing delegates to the county
convention. .. The following gentlemen were chosen delegates:
John Anderson, N. P. Brown, John Pattison, T. P. Hawley, J. S. Curtis, G. W. Welch, C. C. Green,
H. C. Gardiner, S. W. Grush, L. W. Williams, M. L. Marsh, S. Slusher, Will. N. Rabbits and Harvey
Hunt..
ATTACHED.—We are sorry to learn that the store of Henry and Moses Hirschman was attached
yesterday by the Sheriff and closed up. The Messrs. Hirschman suffered heavily in the fire of a year ago,
losing all their property which was considerable, and leaving a debt in San Francisco, evey dollar of
which they have discharged like honest and honorable gentlemen as they are. They have labored
assiduously to repair their losses, and to meet their engagements which they have always succeeded in
doing, never failing to meet demands against them as they became due. Foul play has been the cause of
their present troubles—the attachment being for goods barely received from San Francisco. The
embarrassment under which the Hirschmans labor is but temporary. Their credit is unimpaired, and they
must succeed. Industry and close attention to business must be eventually rewarded.
ACCIDENT.—A boulder fell on Mr. Harvey Mills while resting in his claims near Selby Hill on
Tuesday last, inflicting severe if not dangerous wounds. The boulder was a large one and came near
crushing Mr. Mills in its fall.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.— Our friends, the Democrats, met in county conclave
on Saturday last. The Plumer wing of the party being vastly in the ascendancy had it all their own way.
Outside of the delegates the soreheads were numerous and complaining. The sole principle known in the
primary elections was carried out in the convention—the defeat of Phil. Moore for the Assembly. This
was thoroughly accomplished. Moore was not only thrown but beaten after being down. He was over
come by the very man who of all others would add most to the poignancy of defeat.. . A large and
respectable minority had no voice in the convention. The ticket is composed of aliens to them—as much
so as that of any other party, and the conduct of the convention was such as to make the minority feel the
foreign nature of the nominations sensitively. . . .
The county convention of the Democracy was largely attended and much spirit as well as ability
evinced in the proceedings. Its nominees in the main are fair men. The following is the ticket: Senator
James Walsh, of Grass Valley; Assemblymen, G. W. Young, of Washington; John Caldwell, of Eureka; Dr.
J. B. Warfield, of Bridgeport; William Hill, of Rough and Ready, and Henry Plumer, of Nevada; Coroner,
John Bazely, of Nevada; Sup. of com. Schools, Dr. Overton, of Nevada; Supervisors, Ist District, A.
Hanson, of Nevada; 2d Dist., B. B. Layton; 3d Dist., J. H. Mitchell. I. N. Dawley takes the place of A. T.
Laird as chairman of the central committee.
