There is the record We ask every voter
Fo-read it. 1t is not a,political squib. 1t is
'herecord Of the proceedings of the Board
Of Supervisors of Yuba county. They gave
the printing TO The Express at the rates pro-
posed by the Appeal utterly ignoring the
DEMOCRATS bid, which was fifty per cent
Iower They dared not give the Express
twice as much as the work could be done for,
ana so they cut it down to rates only fifty
per cent higher than tie IoweSt bid Does such
oplcial misconduct require comment? Was
r'ne Express in May last, SO faithful in repre-
sehting public sentiment, that its weak back
SnoHld be strengthened by this gratmity from
''e public treasury? No. Its opposition to
'ne Government was arousing the indigna-
"hp ACSpSpISN L'iS AuiOi ICt'i
's' una ITS aggravating excuses for treason
""uFeoelIlon made it stink in the nostrils of
'ne people But it had two friends out of
''Dee In the Board. and the plum was be-
slowed upon it, Every cent paid the Express
'ns year by the county over and above what
,"e printing would have cost under the
iHNocRATs bid. will be so much money taken
out Of the Treasury by LOWERY and
"hltcomb, and given to the California Ex-
Press, aiding it to keep alive to scoff at the
American Government, and advocate the
fecognition of the bogus Southern Confede-
racy
If John Lowery, Supervisor did right when
lie moved and voted to give the Express the
county printing under the above circumstan-
VeS then it should not prejudice his claims
asa candidate for Sheriff. If on the other
"Snd he did wrong-if he was guilty of
gross party favoritism at the expense of the
peOple of this county, then he ought not to
''Piaced in another public position. We
''A'e his case to the popular verdict.
