LoNG BAR No, ., Oct. Goth.
EDrroR NATIONAL DEMocRATt-I perceive
bv your paper Of the 18Th, that the sapient
members, Messrs Lowrey and Whiteomb,
of the Board Of Supervisors, have ruled that
this place henceforth shall not be a precinct.
The reason of this is obvious. Here does the
spirit Of true Democracy reign in signal su.
premacy. In this ighborhood--on the
banks and bars Of the turbulent Yuba-there
cannot a solitary voter be found who would
be willing to encourage by his vote the trea-
sonable Breckinridge-Y ancey party. This
precinct, sir, has always been the banner pre-
ciuct Of old Yuba, fi"st, last and all the time.
The highest vote the Bread and Butter
party ever got was tco out of fify-four votes.
It's people always have been in favor Of those
time honored principles of Democracy, nom
Intervention by Congress and by the Federal
Government. The solons Of the Board of
Supervisors undoubtedly were aware of this
hence this piece of chicanery. They but
followed the precept Of the great autocrat of
all the shan Democracy yesms They knew
they had not the ghost of chance to obtain
tain a solitary vote for their ayoritc, Gwin
hence this unjust ruling out by the G whites
If they thought that by taking away the polls
from this place it would prevent Us from
voting, they are greatly deceived in US. l
assure them we will avail ourselves of the
the most glorious privilege of an American
citizen-the right Of voting if we had to lose
two days instead Of one by so doing
do not know, nor do l care about the
political notions of Mr.. Lowrey. One thing
is certain, at least to my mind, that his no.
tions about right or wrong are very much
like the big boys when he took an apple from
a smaller one-"might makes right" In thus
interfering with our vested rights he ubjeets
himself to the odirm of every right think
ing person.
AS for Byron W, the least said about him
the better. 1t would be filing up valuable
space in your esteemed journal, whereas you
can find better subjects than he is at any
time. People who have a vivid remembrance
of his fuming operation in 1896, don't won.
der at his depriving hard working men of
days work.
In leaving to the scourge of public opinion
these two distingae gentlemen, hope, should
they ever again offer themselves for office,
the voters of Yuba will remember this small
act of theirs.
Quite number of men went down to-day
in order to take out their final papers, and
they are trUe Democrats, every one of them
You will have the pleasure of shaking
hands with our esteemed nominee for the
Assembly, John Collins. He has been up
amongst the unterrifed and.reports good pro-
gress am truly glad of it. Truth must
prevail. l hear John has made hosts of
friends wherever he has gone. | am not sur
prised at it. Here where he has been living
for years. we admire him for the unwavering
irmness Of his consistency as a Democrat Of
unimpeached and unimpeachable character;
all of which he will adhere to in times to
come His constituents will find in him
working legislature, and one who will take
good care of their interests.
Perhaps you know that Chas. L. De Long
is special iavorite with the people of this
section lie al,oays runs ahead of the ticket
whenever his name was presented for their
suffrage. All agreed with him when he said
that he would sooner vote for the Evil One
or gentleman With negro wool in bis eyes
and of the "irrepressible conflict" squad,
than for that old political hack, Gwin, who
has done nothing in the U. S. Senate but
misrepresent California. Vale,
GFRNTANrrrrs
