San Mateo County Gazette
Redwood City, San Mateo County, California
Saturday Morning, August 24, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 21
Attention is directed to the advertisement of Messrs. STEINHEISER & Co.,
which appears in the present issue, by which it will be seen that they are
closing out their entire stock of goods, at cost, for the purpose of
quitting business. Give them a call.
ROAD MASTER
At the meeting of the People's Committee on Saturday last, they completed
the ticket by making nominations for these important township offices. The
candidates on the People's Ticket for these offices, are, in the First
Township, W.A. RICE, Second Township, W. BUZZELL, and in the Third Township,
J.O. SHAW. The first two named have been tried upon the road, and found to
be energetic, efficient men. Mr. SHAW is known to be a thorough working
man, and a careful manager.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
It may seem a little singular to most of our readers that we should have
left the first two names on the People's Ticket until the last in our series
of notices of candidates. Two years ago the present nominee for District
Attorney was elected to that office without opposition. He has filled it
for two years. He is again before the people, but not at his solicitation.
He makes no claims to the office - and it is certain that his opponent can
have none, not being a resident of the County.
Whether defeated or elected, Mr. FOX has and will continue to
have the consolation of knowing, that he has performed the duties of the
most laborious and at the same time the most poorly paid position in the
county in a manner which meets the approbation of every court before which
his duties have brought him.
COUNTY CLERK
Mr. LATHROP was once called, in derision, in our hearing the watch dog of
the treasury. There was more truth then irony in the expression. As County
Auditor, he has ever been a faithful guardian of the treasury, and by reason
of his watchfulness over the expenditures of the public funds, and his
careful financial management in the erection of the public buildings, he has
succeeded in keeping down taxation, and keeping the county from debt.
As County Clerk he has no equal in the State and for such a
position we defy the whole State to produce a superior, in office or out.
