RED BLUFF, Oct. 70, 1900.
EDITOR COURIER THE Judicial Election
passed off quietly. Sanderson received Lou
votes in Red Bluff, and Hartley ~. lie
Democracy did their best to rally tneir 0.v, no
ken forces, and after hard days worA ~
were all they could muster. On the o'n''
hand. the Union men did not turn OUT
believing there was no use-that 'n'
country was safe"-dozed away tne ua' -
perfect security. There were no Uni0H ".I M
to watch the polls as usual; no one d. 'nT
polls with tickets the Democracy hau II a,
their own way SO far as the Nv ringing IL
was concerned. However, the county DO
far as heard from. has gone about - mo
jority for Sanderson. -.
There was no little rejoicing last nlsh'
at the success of Fonda over Gage, for jus
tice of the Peace. At the late county eie0
ton Fonda voted for the regular nominees oi
the Union party, and at this judicial election
ran as an independent candidate cage was
the nominee of the bolters. The latter has
been a Justice of the Peace here for about
four wears. and was one of the principal
boilers at the late county election, and be
lopped to the head, tail and body Of the
late Union party of Tehama county. There
were four candidates in the field for Justice
of the Peace in Red Bluff: D. j. Calvin, the
regular Union candidate, got lie votes A.
H. Stout, Dem, 20; J. Davis Gage, bolter,
46; Fonda, independent, 7S. Mr.. Fonda, of
course, ran upon his own personal popular
ity; not being supported by any body ''po-
little" or corporate" it shows that he has
great personal popularity, which most polit-
ical candidates might well envy, particularly
a bolter. Neither the regular Union nor
Democratic party made any effort for Justice
of the Peace; the only contest was between
Fonda and Gage.
The bolters and their organ are sick, and
will soon send for Magnnis. The ''organ, y
heretofore an evenieg paper, came out early
on the morning of election day, advocating
the claims of both Sanderson and Hartley
for the position of Supreme Judge. 1t as
tenished many of the Democracy, who sup
posed that 'Artley was the only candidate
they were running for that office.
The bolter organ had also an important
reproduction on the subject of slander. Your
correspondent recognizes it as the same arti-
Gle that appeared about three years ago, for
the first time, in the Independent, copied
from some religious paper. Since then, it
has made its appearance about six times,
appearing as original since the first publica
ton, and is sure to make its appearance just
after Chalmers has taken offense at some
one of his neighbors.
1t is whispered around town that the
bolter organ will remove to Surprise Valley,
which they say is not far from Fort Crook,
on the nearest road to the Owvhee mines
from Red Bluff. We regret to part with SC
valuable a newspaper. bat as we all wish ii
prosperity, we must, in these hard times,
sacrifice affection for the interest of those
who ought to prosper. 1t is hard to part
and we part with sigh and many tear
1t is hard, but we must yield to cruel destiny
However, we feel resigned to our fate, and
hope the independent will find more bolters
in Surprise Valley than in Red Bluff
SOLITAIRE.
