Township Nominations.

GENTLEMEN The Democracy of Amador
should hereafter make nominations for town
ship officers in the various townships. Had
this course been pursued at the late election,
it is morally certain that we should have saved
the Assemblyman wehave lost Scrub Races
in the townships make room for any amount
of trading on the county ticket, which is al
ways disadyantageous and often disastrous to
the snccess of the dominant party.
Again: After Scrub Races are over, the
defeated candidates, or scrubs, swear ven
geance a. the merit eiection and thus danger
GUS fends and dissentions are produced Go
into Convention and the defeated may swear
vengeance there, but it will only be at the
merit contention aud thus the harmony of the
party at the polls is preserved
| ask leave to make these suggestions now ;
will the Democracy think of them another
year? OBSERVER.

The SAME EvERYwHEREl-It turns out that
the K. Nothings did not use their "tradinp
capital" in Amador alone. 1t was a general
thing all over the State and in many of the
strongest Democratic counties, the Ki Yis
succeeded in trading" one or two of their
pretended semi-independent candidates into
Office. The result has proved conclusively,
to our minds, that the K. n. State Conyen-
ton was called for the purpose of enabling a
few county aspirants to succeed through the
medium of corrupt and corrupting bargain
and sale" The fact, to some surprising, that
Bowie,so far runs behind Stanley is of itself
strong evidence. Another year the Democ-
racy will heed the warnings of the press
against the trading system. In the mean
time, those who have been "sold" for the ben
eft of the few K. n aspirants who have sue
ceed, will be likely to feel that their "eye-
teeth" have been cut

with how much success? Let the unprece-

well wishes Of the whole democratic party of
California, and he goes not only with the
