From the Union Democrat.
Shall the Administration be En-
dnrSad 2


Every true democrat will respond in
the affirmative to tie above interrogato-
ry. Why should not the Administra-
ton o. Mr.. Buchanan be endorsed !;
Has his domestic or foreign policy not
been in accordance with democratic
principlcs' Has he not supported the
Constitution of the United States, and
seen that the laws are faithfully execu-
ted Certainly. No sane individual
will attempt 20 assert anything TO the
contrary Then why should the Cali
fornia democracy not endorse his acts :
Is it because David G. Broderick directs
his lieutenants not to let it be done !;
Will democrats be led astray by the
false professions Of shose 7rotass
with the lips to be good democrats, but
are in serNs LEAGUE with Broderick to
carry thet7btate Convention in opposi
ton to Mr.. Buchanan. Br. Broderick
was elected by democratic Legisla-
ture-was profsssed democrat where
is he now' With the opposition, OPP
posing the President with all his might,
leagued with Seward, the black repub-
lican leader. He has no further claims
on the democracy he is no longer with
them, neither is he one Of them.
1t is now the duty Of the party to sit
in Judgment as between this deserter
and Mr.. Buchanan, and pass such sem
tence as will be an example and warn
ing to all political traitors that may fol>
low in his footsteps hereafter. Then,
to the primary meetings, and see to that
none others than good and true Admin
stration men are sent to the Comfy
Couvention-men who are not afraid to
do their duty those who will sustain
she Administration regardless of the
false cry of those who sag they are Ad-
u;nistration democrats, but are in favor
Of keeping it secret-a profound Sc
cret-by no means letting it come to
tie ears Of Mr.. Broderick. Out Oh
such democrats Democrats of the
right stamp are not so cowardly as to
fear to speak out, and make known en-
which side they stand as between the
reviler and the President of their choice.

How. C. l.. Scorr.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the San Francisco
Globe, under date of May 10, 1888,
thus fat,eringly alludes to the efforts of
our iavorite young Congressman: On
Monday your Representative Scott in
troduced in the House, concurred reso-
lutions of your Legislature, asking Con-
gress for a donation of five per cent.
from the sale of public lands, for school
purposes-another, relative to establish
lug break-water at San Luis Obispo ;
also the resolution in regard to the re-
lease of young Ainsa, with one Of
Turner ct al asking for indemnify foI
losses sustained by Indian hostiiities-
All of which were referred to the proper
committees. II must be indeed crafty
ing to bis constituents to notice how
zealously he labors for the good OF hls
State He has indeed built up gooo
reputation for SO young member.

1895 Opposition Voters.

BY the order Of the County Central
Committee four Of the largest towns in
the county will have an opposition repre-
sentation in democratic convention, of
twen:y-three delegates, representing
1885 opposition votes. Is this democ-
racy' In plain common sense, is this
placing the basis Of representation on
the true democratic principal of the
"highess democratic rote cast for any
State oOIeer." 1t is not, and is one OF
the plainest barefaced frauds ever at.
tempted to be palmed off on any party
A correction ha9 been called for
Almost the entire party, all over the
county, protests against the order of the
committee. The masses in Columbia,
Sonora, Springfield and Shaw's Flat,
seeing the injustice done to their domo-
cratic brethren of the smaller precincts,
are opposed to this tyranicaI order Of
the Central Committee The increase
in Columbia is eight delegates, repre-
scnting an opposition vote Of 425. The
Increase in Sonora is seven delegates,
representing an opposition vote of 32S.
in Springfield it is four delegates, rep
resening an opposition vote Of 1873. In
Shaw's Flat it is four delegates, repre-,
senting an opposition vote Of 20e,
making twcnty-,hreo delegates repre-
seniing 1885 votes, or over one sixth Of
the democratic vote Of Tuolumue county

Gratis submit to be ruled in any such
way. do not believe they will If
such is to be the order Of things, then
has the better days Of the party depart
ed, and cliques, frauds, and political
wire pullers, are the order and rulers of
the day Let every democrat that de-
sires the union and harmony Of the
party, join in, and demand this matter
to be righted, and the ratio of represen-
tation placed on the true democratic
basis No good and true man of the
party drsires to see such a wrong carried
out Will not the committee reassemble,
and place the basis Of representation in

usage !? SHAw's FLAT.

Frazer River Mining.

The steamer Republic, which arrived
at San Francisco on Saturday afternoon,
brought several letters from persons who
are actively engaged in mining on Fra
Ger river. A correspondent Of the S. +.
-TsmS; a pgacfs lh2ner, thus writes
from Sailors l'a~,, nnaer date of j na 4:
II have done but little here for the
last fortnight Some Of the claims high
err on the bar have been worked all the
while. | hear of some making big wa
ges here still One man is reported to
have taken out 500 in his claim last
Saturday | :hink this bar will pay
from 81 to 50 day when the water
goes down. | have been prospecting
the country back of this place, but
without success. 1t is very rough and
mountainous and difficult to get through
| do not think there is much gold here
abouts, except what is on the river. The
miners are coming here thick, and many
cannot get claims, nor can they 90 high
err in the mines at present. Men can
be hired to work here just now quite
low. ! got several last week, when the
river fell so | could work my claim, at
three dollars per day and board Pro-
visions are very high here now bacon,
ham, and all such articles, ST. pound !;
-four, 80 cents and other things in pro-
portion. Quicksilver is worth $50 a
pound 1t is in great demand. as the
gold cannot be saved we'll without it
Although great many are coming in,
large numbers leave every day and re-
turn to Victoria and the places on the
Sound where living is cheaper, as they
find they can do nothing here without
claims, and there is no way of getting
up until the water falls. The noun
tains above this are steep and close on
the river, and it is impossible to pack
an animal over them, besides there are
no animals here, TO speak of. 1t is all
foolishncss for men to be rushing up
here the way they are doing at present.
Two months from this time is full soon
enough. Those who got in first and Sc
cured claims will do well enough when
they can work them, but not the new
comers."
He says, ALSO, that the rockers brought
from San Francisco are too short /; they
should be six sect in length. No slulce
mining has as yet been commenced.

A WORD TO DEMoCRATs.-The fol-
lowing advice should not be passed by
unhceded. We find it in the columns
Of the Bay STATE Democrat:
"L.t no Democrat who is not pre-
pared to say good bye to the Demo
cratic party and give aid and comfort to
its deadiest foes, part company with a
Democratic Administration upon the
question of the immediate admission of
Kansas into the American Union. The
FIST easy step of dissent from the will
of the majority. once taken, a complete
surrender of political integrity is more
probable than a return to Democratic
principles Stand firm! Time and

yindicate the wisdom of the President
course, as the past history of the country
has redeemed all the pledges of the
Democracy to every successful measure
of our national policy"

THE KANSAS IMBRoGLIo-WHAT 1T
TEACHEs.-Tothe bitter rartisans in tie
last great Presidential struggle, the
Kansas question teaches a salutary
lesson which should not be lost in like
contests to come On the one side moth
ing was too bad to be charged against
the Americans and Republicans. They
were enemies of the country and traitors
10 it. They were striving to disfran-
chise, the Americans the Irish, and the
Republicans the South In this TRADE
Douglas and his admirers were not
silent, but loaned all their powe: to in
crease and perpetuate it. Vituperation
characterized the canvas from that po-
liticai side. Nor, on the other hand,
were the same vile weapons discarded.
Douglas escaped no epithet of contempt
or dishonor The shafts of his oppo-
nents were leveled constantly and un-
weariedly at his head. He was branded
as an Arnold, traitor, and deserving Of
a traitors doom.
The fire and the smoke of that contest
having ceased and cleared away, we
see these former malignant opponents
Joined together in leagne to put down
wrong and oppression and secure the
rights Of people. That great Demo
cratic party whose success was to be the
salvation of the country proved impo-
tent for good when the crisis came
The proscriptive Know Nothings loaned

raey to carry out their scheme of sal.
yation. The Republicans, those black
sectional, disturbers of the public peace
and Union dcstroyers, contributed some
hundred Representatives to help thirty
Democrats in preserving the country,
and the greatly lauded AMI pre~eminent-
ly glorious principles of Squatter Sow
ercignty in their purity.
The opposition that was so much de-
nounced and SO greatly to be dreaded
has not only saved the Union, but the
Democratic party from an abandonment
ct its principles, and the Douglas wing
has, Notwithstanding the hard name its
members were once forced to bear, been
found very convenient, useful, honest
and honorable men by their former cne-
mics. The lesson teaches us moderation
and charity in politics-to eoncedc to
others Of different views portion. at
least, of that patriotism and honesty we
claim for ourselves.
