San Mateo County Gazette
Redwood City, San Mateo County, California
Saturday Morning, August 10, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 19
NOTARIAL - The Governor has appointed John JOHNSTON, Esq., our able Justice
of the Peace at Spanishtown, a Notary Public. This is an appointment well
worthy to be made.
REPUCLICAN CONVENTION - Curtis BAIRD, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and D.W.
HELMES, Secretary, Stephen TILTON, B.J. WHITTIER and Joshua LEAVITT, were
proposed as candidates for assembly, and on the second ballot Mr. TILTON
received the nomination. It was resolved not to nominate for local offices.
Messrs. B.F. FOX, A.F. GREEN and Rufus MURPHY were appointed delegates to
the Senatorial Convention and Charles LIVINGSTON named as the first choice
of the convention for Senator.
WILLIAM A. CLARK
The business and location of the People's Candidate for Tax Collector has
perhaps given him a more extended personal acquaintance than many of the
candidates on the ticket, and wherever he is known his personal popularity
is unbounded. This popularity is well deserved. He is a young man of
unblemished reputation and of good business habits. Not only is his
reputation good wherever known in California, but it also good elsewhere.
William A. CLARK has received high endorsements of character from his former
neighbors in Illinois.
SOLOMON SNYDER
This is the name of the People's Nominee for Assessor. Our people have
never appeared to fully realize the importance of this office. The validity
of the entire assessment of the County - the legality of her taxes, and the
ability to collect the whole or any portion of them, all depend upon the
regularity of the acts of this one man.
Mr. Snyder is not a politician, but a working man - not one of
those whose trade it is to make officers, but one of that class who fill an
official position, when by accident they are placed in one, with credit to
themselves, and fidelity to their constituency. He has not sought this
position, but the people have sought him for it. He has long been a
resident of the Redwoods in this County, and has ever earned his bread by
the sweat of his brow. Though the circle of his personal acquaintance is
limited, his reputation is wide spread, and favorable.
THEIR HOPE HAS FLED
..Let him look at the ticket. It is for District Attorney, D.J. MURPHY of
San Francisco; Sheriff, J.D. HAVENS, of Redwood City; Treasurer, W.C. CROOK,
of Redwood City; Collector, John AMES, of Redwood City; Assessor, J.J. HILL
of Woodside, 3d Township; Surveyor, A.S. EASTON (People's candidate) of the
Sand Hills; Public Administrator D.W. ALDRICH, of Redwood City; and Coroner,
W.D. Church, an innocent gentleman on top of the mountain.
They have some hopes of electing their Supervisor from the
Second Township - J. P. AMES. The others don't stand a ghost of a chance.
They are - First Township, James BYRNES, Third Township, W.C.R. SMITH.

ASSEMBLY. - The candidates for Assembly are now both before the people.
The Republicans have placed in nomination, STEPHEN TILTON, one
of the patriarchs of the party, and a man of whom, if elected, the county
need not be ashamed. He is at present one of the Associate Justices of the
Court of Sessions, and as such is probably known to most of our readers. We
do not think that he would be an ardent worker in a political canvass, but
in the Legislative Halls, his good practical sense, sound judgment and
strict integrity of purpose, would be a guaranty that the interests of his
constituency would not be neglected, not their wishes set at naught.
A.T. SWART, the Democratic candidate we have noticed elsewhere.
He is a much younger man, and will be more active in the canvass or at the
capital, than the judge can be. Whether he is more worthy of confidence, we
leave for the people themselves to judge.
The nomination of A.T. SWART by the Democratic Convention on Tuesday last,
is one of the strongest indications we have seen, that the power of the
Highlanders is fading away. Although a Democrat, Mr. SWART has never been
one of the Highland clan, but has been in open hostility to them. His name
is one that will give character to any ticket, and it was placed at the head
of this one to give character to the faction who nominated it.
OUR COUNTY
The County of San Mateo has hitherto been the most fortunate County in the
State. She sprang into existence in the most trying times which California
has ever seen - fraud and dripping corruption gathered around her cradle at
the period of her birth; stuffed ballot boxes and forged election returns
were brought into requisition to fill her offices with shoulder strikers,
rowdies and gamblers, but thanks to a firm and fearless administration of
justice, these vipers were driven from the doors of her offices, and a set
of officials were place to watch over her infancy who well faithfully
executed the high trust reposed in them.
VERDICT IN THE BONNEY CASE. - The jury on July 27th, in the BONNEY case, at
San Leandro, returned a verdict of guilt of murder in the first degree. The
trial of BONNEY for the murder of HIRSCH has been one of the most remarkable
in the annals of crime in the United States. Had it not been for the
indefatigable exertions, industry and fixedness of purpose of Dr. BURKE,
Chief of Police of San Francisco, and officers LEES, JOHNSON, BOVEE,
CHAPPELLE, and others of the police force, the mystery of this foul murder
would never have been discovered. The cause of justice owes much to their
efforts, although the locale of the deed was in an adjoining county. The
attorneys for the defence adopted a peculiar line of denunciation to shake
the belief of the jury in the testimony of the police, and did not avail
themselves of every technical chance to invalidate their statements, but it
seems unavailingly.
