Reply 10 "Hr No. }.

| have heretofore answered, believe,
all of the questions put by al" except
the two following, relating to the finances
and indebtedness of the State.
Was not this State bankrupt al the
"time John :. Barry was first elected
Governor in lS42 p
" Did not the democratic party when
they went out of power in 1854, after
" II years uninterrupted rdle, leave over
q" half million dollars in the Treasury p"
In my article that called out the ques.
tions Of H. ! stated that the democratic
party created the State debt, and that
with surplus in the Treasury, they had
..~ei~-.~a .-r-y 49, :--.----. C----y---. -
year. thereby allowing the debt to increase
by t.ic addition Of the interest, etc.
suppose the above questions were intended
as an answer to that statement.
What is to be understood by the term
bankrupt" in the first question? If it
means simply that the State was, at that
time, owing a much larger amount than
1T had the ready and available means to
pay; then | answer that it was BANKRUPT,
in that sense, in 1912, when Governor
Barry first entered upon the duties of
Governor and not only that, but it had
deen bankrupt in the same way, for about
four years previous to that time, and ha,
bee" crcr since just as bankrupt as it was
in 1912.
Did you mean to convey the impression
that the democrats took the State in 1870
when it was deeply in debt, and that they
were not responsible for that indebted.
ness And that IN twelve years they had
left the State free from debt, with large
surplus in the Treasury? If you did not
mean to convey such an idea, it is diff
cult to see any force TO your questions
and if you did so mean, then you meant
20 convey false impression.
The bonds Of the State for the Five
Million Loan" so-called, were issued in
1888, to the amount of So, 200, 900. And
thus the debt was created while the
State was under democratic rule, and at
that time had never been unGer any other
rule. The amount realized by the State
ON those bonds was between two, and two

talk about my supporting Mr.. Pierce on
the Cincinnati Platform in 1852 ?"
see you are inclined still to be a little
personal, and impugn my motives in leav-
ing the democrats aud uniting with the
Republicans. Now, sir, l do not con-
ceive it to be any part of " Honorable
Combat to impugn the motives Of your
opponent in changing his position, when
you tacitly admit that your own party has
changed since 1s4S, by saying that the
"long string Of resolutions to which b
refers were passed prior to 1885," etc. And
| shall only reply, that if my motives were
as base and selfish as you insiruate, it does
not help you out of your difficulty in the
argument of the questions under discus
sion; and you had better devote your eff
forts to demolishing my arguments, if you
can do so, than to spend them all on me.
You seem to be very much exercised
about attacks made on you, personally,
through the columns of the Northerner /;
and you say that in that paper of July
Odd, "there was SIC columns Of black
guard devoted to your benefit )" and you
complain of me as having filled the col
umns of that paper with I" lies and false
hoods" in regard to your personal char
acter, &C., &c.
Now sir, for your alteration l will say,
that have not the control of the columns
of the Northeraer, except SO far as my
own contributions are concerned. And l
have never written or indicted word re-
fecting upon you personally, or even al
Mdiag to your character or conduct, or
your standing in community, now, or
heretofore. l have not written anything
for that paper since prior to the time that
this discussion commenced, except what
has appeared over the signature "B. -
And if you can find anything in those ar
ticles to justify your complaints about me,
l entreat you to point it ont Though !
cannot conceive what you mean by "siir
columns of black guard devoted 70 your
" benefit I" one paper, unless you mean
to charge my article as blackguard /
have not, thus far, departed from a re-
spcctful department towards you, and
shall not be provoked to do so, by any
thing you hare said. | have II ale this
explanation simply to satisfy you; and
not as an apology for any thing that may
have appeared in the Northerucr You

to honorable combat, to assail the editor

for Juggling it into this discussion with
me.

Mr.. Hart,s Railroad.

IL is well known that the railroad act now
before the people of Butte County. Is not
such an act as was asked for by railroad
men, and consented to by many Of our cit
izens. A draft Of bill for an act, which
would have met the approval Of many Of
our citizens, was forwarded to Sacramento %
la't winter. The present affair was substi-
tuted by Mr.. Hart. When demonstrated
with for the change he had made, we under.
stand that his reply was TO the effect that
he did not care-thst he could force the
present act upon the county aud he would
do so. II Itappears to us TO be designed for
the benefit Of few sharpers who desire to
speculate in the funds Of the county, and tor
this purpose, they have levied tax not only
upon the property Of our citizens, but upon
their heads also. They exempt nothing from
taxation in coosummating their schemes
The fortunes Of these SPECTATORS in the re
sources Of the government are at q low ebb
Having been broken down. burst up, anC

this measure. Let the people Of the count,
repudiatc this act, or they will find them
selves taxed TO pay n debt Of over half

citizens be warned in time, before consent
