The Shasta courier., 1859-09-10
The Result I'm this County.

Renegadism and treachery stalked abroad at
night, morning and MONDAY of Wednesday
last Cheatery, in invisible mask, worked in
defetigably.-The spirit CT Lying few over the
County as with eagles wings. Men whose words
of honor were pledged to support the entire
ticket, bolted it outright Others, meaner than
they, because more cowardly, worked against
portions of the ticket, in a sneaking and under
handed way and then vauntingly voted an open
straight ticket. Such all honorable men will
despse. Exceeding bravery exhibited even in
an act of treachery, will elicit some sort of ad-
miration but treason committed in a cowardly
manner, by a sneaking political poltroon, is too
contemplate for the finger of scorn to point at,
too mean for the tongue ofhonesty to lash, too.
vile for the Democratic foot to kick. Such Dem
ocrats no true Democrats dog would bark at.
But notwithstanding this treachery which
doubtless lessened the majority for the State
Ticket, we are happy to say that the Democracy
Of Shasta have gained glorious trump. Never
before has our majority been so large. OF the
1900 votes cast Latham has undoubtedly re-
ceived some l40O-making his majority ap-
proach leee or about 500 more than that given
Weller two years ago This is a tribute worthy
of the ability and worth of our fearless, elo-
quent and chivalrous young standard bearer
Three cheers for Milton S. Latham. Grow,
Rooster, crow.
Judging by the figures now in our possession,
Latham has run ahead of his ticket, probably
over four hundred in the County. We feel safe
therefore in saying that the whole of the regular
State Ticket, except Cope and Bolts, have
majority rising 100. Mr.. Sprague's personal
strength will carry him ahead of his ticket
That O'Meara has run ahead of his, we infer
from the returns and reports from precincts
where the foreign vote greatly predominates.
John S. Follansbee is elected Sheriff over
Capt Sohn Hale, independent, by perhaps 500
votes.
John Anderson is elected County Clerk over
Mr.. West Opposition, by majority of but little
short of 900.
James D. Mix is elected over J. c. Hinckley, for
District Attorney.
j. R. Durick is elected Recorder over the Op-
position candidates, Messrs. Kittridge, Van Horn
and Tuttle.
Dennis Dunn, for Public Administrator is
doubtless elected
B. Garland, for Assessor, is also successful,
it is thought
The remaining portion of the County Ticket,
having no opposition, is elected, of course

the track He has proved short-winded ring
boned and spawned, and hence broke down
quick. Every vote he got a Democratic
vote, and would have gone for Skillman had he
not entered the field Those miserable, lying
traitors, who duped him by false hopes, and
were the carse of his spending large amount
of money in this " wild goose chase" are the
men TO be held responsible. If they had
been men of honor, Spatz would never have run
for Tax Collector, and would to-day have been
In possession of sundry hundreds of scads now in
the pockets of liquor dealers and political bum
mers.
Poor Spatz, we pity him from the bottom of
our heart He is an object of commisseration.
This beautiful official golden apple has turned
to ashes just as he was grasping it, But what
must he think of those miserable, dshonored
traitors who fooled him into the political ring,
and, by ingenious lying, induced him to remain
therein, all the while scattering his money about
with liberal hand
We time ami time again told him that he was
being used as a tool by the Opposition, by the
friends of Alex. Andrews, by such Democrats as
rule the Herald office, by John A. Dreibelbis
and other dishonored Democrats We told him
that they did not expect to elect him-that they
kne,c they could not elect him. Moreover we
told him that their sole object was to defeat
Skillman, and that their purpose in persuading
him to run was to accomplish that object by
the election of Andrews. But Spatz would not
believe this. He thought he was nearly h-r'
that all the Germans and Irish in the county
would vote for him. He did get upwards of four
hundred, many of whom, apprehend voted

the United States. We ask such adopted citi-
zens as acted from such a motive, if it is to be
by them considered political crime to be born
on American soil? This banding together of
Germans and Irishmen to elect simply
because he was foreigner, is indefensible. 1t is
aggravated Know Nothingism. Doubtless some
who voted for him were not actuated by this
motive. That others were, however, we have
not doubt
