A Full TIcKEr.-The San Jose Telegraph,
n Republican paper-the first in the State
that raised the name of Fremont for Pres-
dent in lS56-comes to us now with the fol-
lowing ticket at its mast head:
For President - Stephen A. Douglas, OF
Illinois.
For Vice President David c. Broderick,
of California.
Thus there is but one Republican paper
left in the State, and that is the True ne
publican, published at Coloma, El Dorado
county Sacramento Bee.
" But one left in the Statc!"-that as rich,
especially when we reflect that the Bee Is
itself among the blacklist of the black. The
"ace of spades" is nowhere in comparson.-
Then that the San Jose Telegraph, "the first
in the State that raised the name of FIRE.
mont" should become mel Republican, but
Democratic we suppose the Bee would have
it, by raising the names of Douglas and
Broderick, is proposition so far out Of the
question that it will only cause those who
read it to smile Convert a dwarf mouse in
to full grown elephant and then perhaps
the time will come when Republicans, dyed
in the ,eoOl like the Telegraph. can be trans
mografed into Democrats--but not a minute
sooner. 1t is the game Of the Republicans
now TO steal into the Democratic camp-cre-

Shade of the immortal Jeffersonl Demo
Gratis will not be swindled in this way; these
Black Republican papers protesting Democ-
racy is too shallow a pretcxt. 1t isn't thar.
The Telegraph, for instance, hoists the name
of Douglas because it has long been tower
of strength in the Democratic party, and
therefore expects that thousands Of good,
honest Democrats will fall iuto the Rpublican
trap thus set and baited; but who so silly as
not to see through the scheme? and who so
silly as not to know that the Telegraph aud
all the Republicans would drop Douglas
" like a hot potatoe" before making their
for 1902 He is not their kind,
and never can or viii be. They certainly do
not expect to entrap Douglas; they know
they can't. 1t is a very mean thing in the
Telegraph to hoist his name; but cannot in
iure him on any side. Lecompton and anti
Lecompton Democrats alike defend him
against all such petty trfing with his name.

b. d. it will be seen, is informed
by "Sam" that there is a X n Lodge in full
blast in Volcano, composed of Republicans,
with a very few original X. Ms. II so, is
this branch or rather Lodge of a Repub-
lican Secret Society reported to have an ex-
istence and spoken of by number Of Dem
ocratc newspapers some months ago? Verify,
it looks very much that way.

Jackson, is probably the finest field of wheat
ever grown this high up in the mountains.
1t does a man good to look at it. 1t is very
thick on the ground, the straws are very
heavy and tall and the heads of extraordi-
nary length and correspondingy heavy.
