Editor Herald:-On Friday night Of las
week, we had one of the finest democrat,
demonstrations Of the campaign. The peo
pie had been notified by posters, and other
wise, that eminent men would address tht II
upon the political questions of the day, and
before the last golden rays of the sun hat
vanished u the western horizon crowds o
men from Damascus. Wisconsin Hill, Pros
pect Hill, Grizzly Flat, and from every ra
vine and canyon, came pouring Tito town
By dark multitude of some four hundred
persons had assembled in front Of the Hote
d'Orleans. Bonfres were lighted, anvils
fierd, and hurrahs given for the Democracy
Moro seats had to be obtained for the many
ladies who were present.
E. Q. Cunningham called the meeting to
order, and J. b. Currier, Esq, was chosen
Chairman, when after appropriate remarks,
by the Chairman, Judge Arnold was called
to the stand. The Judge labored under a
severe cold, but were to give you bis whole
speech on paper, I W. uld be cut short for
want Of space. His language was with the
emblem Of truth ove'lowing." He com.
menced by alludiIg 10 his position he had oc-
cupied during the rebellion. Touched
heavily on Gorbam's doings and the RAIDS
generally. He said the r. r. Co., owned
that great lobbyist, and be was their plant
tool. | ask will the people Of Placer sup
port these monstrous monopolies, whose
motto is: get it honestly if you can; but get
il. Can any sane man for one moment hesi,
tate to believe that the r. R. c., doesn't in
tend to throw dust in the eyes of the people
BY extending these free rides!
Judge M,res who was next greeted with
applause, spoke about the equality of the
negro and the white man. lie also gave
good definition of the lobbyist, and the "cock
eyed old beast" Col. Mcclure and our
worthy townsman, W. d. Lawrence, spoke
in eloquent strains about the candidates on
our ticket At about twelve o'clock the
meeting adjourned with three rousing cheers
for the Democratic party.
BY the way, l heard "Spread Eagle Nor
ton" last night at Wisconsin Hill, who
bIawled to sorry looking crowd, in bis
usual spread eagle" Style 1t is evident
that lie is political blk Of the first water.
You have Col. Tweed ION the hip" this time.
He made out that every man, woman and
child was lobbyist. The Col. made weak
attempt at your Gold Run correspondent
"Old Guard" and the HERALD. But what
teased him most was, the course of the
Sacramento Union. lie admitted that the
Union had made its mark Could not for
the life Of him, see why Germans, 1rishmen
supported the Democracy. 1t strikes me
there are many things the Col. does not see.
Irishmen, Germans and Democrats, look at
the names on our County ticket, from the
head to the foot, and they will speak for
themselves. have lived in Placer for
eleven years, and better ticket has never
been presented to the people. Look at such
men as Lawrence, Mason, Kruger and Nc.
Clure, and you will find them unbemished.
Then let US all unite on the 4th of Septem.
Der, and give the whole ticket such major
ty that will forever make the mongreis
bite the dust. Let no German for moment
think of casting his vote for single man on
the mongrel ticket, if he loves himself and
bis country. The dirty flngs of the Stripes
man, are too well known among them.
see some "ngger" worsbpper has taken
pans 10 post the olaoo'cat le ol oeIk"k
against Geo. A. Keehner around our town.
If Selkirk knew how little the Germans
think Of him, by publishing such statements,
he ought never no more to print German
name in type.
Spread Eagle Norton" will brawl here
TO night. aud so there is fun ahead. lie
will drag the dead of Bull Run and Get
tysburg through the streets of Iowa Hill,
and show US bow many were crippled dur
ing the war. lie says, that's all know"
Heis certainly political fool.
Yours truly, VITAL.
