RED BLUR, Aug. "a.
our TICKET.
The name of HIRAM A. RAwsoN is this
week placed at the head of the Union ticket
of Tehama county, as the nominee of the
Union Legislative Convention, TO represent
| Tehama and Colusa counties in the next
Assembly. Mr.. Rawson is well and favor.
ably known in both counties. He is far
mer and wool grower, and senior partner
of the firms of Rawson & Bro. and Rawson
& Grayson. Success seems to have crowned
his efforts in private life, and there is not a
doubt Of his being equally successful as a
candidate of the Union party for the position
his fellows citizens have induced him to seek.
No man in the county is better qualified to
represent the people of this district than
Hiram A. Rawson, and no man in the dis
trict is more deserving the honor and con-
fdence of the people. Accompanied by
morning to talk with the farmers of Colusa
county, and it will be something strange if
that county does not send up heavy ballot
The name of w. I. CREssLER has also
been added to the ticket, for Superintendent
of Common Schools. Mr.. Cressler is a
young man of excellent education, varied in
formation, good character, and has been
cessful in whatever he has undertaken. He
not only understands the theory of teaching,
but com prehends the practical part OF in
structing the young, having himself taught
school several terms in Tehama county. tie
resides in Red Bluff-whch fact should win
to his support men of all parties, because
teachers should not be compelled to expend
from three to ten dollars of each months
salary, in order to obtain warrant from
Superintendent of Common Schools.
OUR ASSESSOR.
Mr.. j. W. Phillips, of Trinity, we'll
known Union man, being in town a few DAYS
ago, was looking over the names of the reg
ular Union nominees for county officers of
Tehama county, and among the others
observed that of B. N. Scribner. candidate
for Assessor. Hearing report to the effect
that Mr.. Scribner was not qualified for the
Office. and having a business engagement
with Mr.. Scrbner, involving a trade of sew
eral hundred dollars. the subject was brought
up by Mr.. Phillips, when Mr. Scriber sub.
mitted his Journal, ledger. and other books
and documents for inspection. Mr.. Scribner
has been Justice of the Peace and clerk of
the Board Of Trustees, has kept private
accounts with his neighbors, and minute
record of his income and expenditures. Mr..
Phillips tells us that he found all these books
and papers neatly and correctly kept. Let
me add that Mr.. Scrbner intends to perform
the duties of Assessor without the assistance
of deputy, for he is one of those self reliant
farmers who does not believe in employing
others to do that which he can do himself
Mr.. Scribner is a good judge of property
man of answering fidelity, and is well in
formed on the leading questions of the day.
He is y credit to any community, whether
engaged in the public or private walks of
life.
THE PURITY CANDIDATES AND TIE REFORM
ORGAN.
While was making small purchase in
dry goods store this morning. Mr.. c. +.
Fisher, formerly of the Red Bluff Beacon,
came in, and engaged in conversation with
the writer hereof; during the course of
which I asked him this question: "Mr
Fisher, how much did you pay Messrs.
Chalmers & Bishop. of the Independent,
for declining to bid for the county printing
in 1868 ?" lie replied g Three or four
hundred dollars-think it was three hun
dred" What has the boilers candidate for
District Attorney to say about baits, bribery,
corruption and codes =? What has the
boilers reform organ to say al out . sold''
CT about buying?" Pure reformers? The
Union party is well rid of your kind.
THE CARPET BAG.
1t has been said by enemies of the Union
ticket, and particularly by the bol:er's organ,
that this is "carpet bag ticket" that is,
the men on it were possessed of no property
of permanent interest in the country. The
assessment roll shows that the candidates on
the Union county ticket are assessed for $751;
593-the lowest being 81 ,030 and the high
est S4,075 Rawson is assessed for SlS,475.
The forty one delegates composing the Union
County Convention are assessed for over
two hundred thousand dollars, or about five
thousand dollars to each delegate. The car.
pet bag. therefore, falls to the ground. 1t is
for the interest of all sensible men to see that
good and faithful officers elected. Moth
ing else will insure faithful administration
of the affairs of the county. Look over our
| ticket. and be convinced that the gentlemen
nominated by the Union Convention are the
very best that could be obtained for the sew
eral Offices to be filled. Work for them
elect them-and let men who declare that
they have no principles remain where un-
principled men ought to remain-in the back
ground. Let no man who is sufficiently
thin. skinned to be a sore-head bolter either
obtain an Office or influence a VOTE Such
men cannot be trusted. They would sell
their souls for Office. The people should
not be sold out by them.
