The weekly union record., 1865-09-02
Who are the Bolting 0flce-seekers.


1t nigh. satisfy muchly the Curiosity of
some to know who the boiling candidates on
the Boilers ticket are. as they are soliciting
the votes of the people to become their agents
and 6nanciers for the next two years. First
on the programme is
Frank W. Day, present Sheriff he is an
old line Republican and was elected in 1863
as such. he was delegate in our late Union
County Convention, and being disappointed 10
getting position and his choice of candidates
be bolted bis old party and is now candidate
for re election to the Office of Sheriff by Cop
perheads and Secessionists.
l. P. Smith, candidate on the Boilers tick
ct, also was an old line Black Republican, and
is DOW candidate for Representative on the
Boilers ticket, to be supported BY Copper
heads and Secessionists. He was candidate
10 the Union Convention for the same position
and took solemn pledge that he would sup
port the Union party and its nominees. White
men are very uncertain. These Black Repub-
Iicau worshippers' loyalty appear to be meas
ured by position.
DR.. Jeems Green, boiling candidate for Rep
resentativa is also an old line Black Repnbli-
can, asking the support of Copperheads aud
Secessionists and always suspicious of the 10y
atty of Douglas Democrats in the Union party.
He gets very patriotic on certain occasions,
from the fact that he was the only man in
town who would post up Black Republican
posters several years ago. Oh, these consist
ent Black Loyalists. "Sore head is no name
for them.
George F. Nourse, boiling candidate for
Senator, is not much known outside of his
neighborhood, where be is personally unpopu-
lar. He is reported TO be great on the
a." steamboat aud it appears impossible to de
termine whether be was Peace Democrat or
Black Republican He will command the
expedition up Salt River on the 9th instant
Charles L. Pond, of Chico, We know but
little, except that he is on the Boilers ticket
asking the support of Copperheads and Seces
sioniss.
The first candidate for Recorder resigned
would not run the Boter gauutlet-the second
one, Brandenburg, was waited on By COM
mitiee aud urged aud forced to take the posi-
ton against his will.
Three of the nominees of the Boilers mass
meeting have resigned being placed upon that
ticket without their consent, and the commit
tee have been fishing ever since to catch bolt
ers to fill the vacancy.
The Boilers candidate for Clerk is a young
man, unknown to the public and but recently
came 10 the State. He will find that be has
followed bad advice and got into very bad
company.
And last, but not least, comes the boiling
candidate for Assessor, R. Davis, well known
to have been a radical Union man, and asking
the support of Copperheads aud Secessionists.
He was before the Union Convention for the
nomination to the offiee of Representative and
failed TO connect. He, like other candidates
before that Convention, before being balloted
for, got up aud pledged himself to support the
Union nominees We understand Mr.. Davis
claims that in making this pledge he left
g loop hole " by which, if he was not houored
with the nomination, be could escape the
pledgei So much the worse for his consistency.
1t was saying be would be Union, Copper
head, White or Black for position.
We ask the candid, honest farmers, me-
chanics, laboring men and tax payers of Butte
county, if they can consistently support such
political schemers and disorganizers. A II they
want is office and power-tbat once in their
possession, you will feel it with their foot upon
your breast, grip upon your throat and your
rights will be trampled under foot by the heel
of oppression.
