In order to show to what oItent tue IL
uancisring operations Of the Democracy
were carried, aud the underground
means used by them to make the hard
working miner pay the expenses AFTER
failing to carry the recent uolu M,
town election by fraud, bullying, d
all sorts of desperate and disgracetui
means, we will make mention OF one
nice little joke in that line which camo
! 10 light Yesterday afternoon. me
monthly payroll of the kentuck mine
was left at the California Bank as
usual, where the mon could go n
draw the respective amounts due them,
as set down on the roll opposite tue
name of each. Against the names OF
several, however, were little marginal
entries made in red lux, Of sums vary
ing from So so to SIS, amounting in all
to S34, which was directed to be
reserved from the pay Of the men so
designated, for what purpose, was not
stated, but the miner was to re-
ceipt for the full amount including the
deducted sum. This having been done
before on occasions Of presentations,
charitable contributions, etc., nothing
was suspected until the aforesaid de-
ductiou had been made in four cases.
| The fifth man, however, couldn't see
it, but asked for an explanation. He
was referred to the Secretary at tho
| Yellow Jacket office. He went there
and o o returned, saying that it was n
levy made on the Democratic miners for
the purpose Of carrying the election OF
Stone-the Democratic candidate Tor
Town Marshal. He did not like the idea
a, all, but said he would have to stand
the shave, or lose his place-quite a
consideration for II miner, dependent
upon his daily labor for his daily bread
so he took his pay, minus the deduct
ed levy. The matter being now ex-
planned, the officers Of the Bank
indignantly refused to allow that
American institution to be made
any further the collector Of electioaeer-
ing funds for the Democratic party, the
more especially as it never had beer
made so for the Republicans. The
whole thing became ventilated d.
rec,ly, and this little levy appears to
have been merely a balance due and
uncolleeted on a general one levied on
all the Democratic miners employed 10
that mino. How far this cute 6nancier-
| ing operation extended to other mines is
probably best known to the Democracy,
but similar marginal entries were found
made upon the pay roll Of the Yellow
Jacket mine, with n lead pencil. This,
however, had not yet been placed at the
Bank, and as soon as the Superintend-
emit was made aware Of the little joke,
he caused those pencil marks to be
erased forthwith. II is but justice to
the Superintendent Of the Kentuck to
say that he was entirely ignorant OF this
Democratic financial operation until he
WAS informed Of it after its ventilation.
This may all be legitimate enough in the
eyes Of the Copperhead chiefs, and If
| the Woodworking miners OF the party
| choose to foot the bills, they can do so
of course. every one to their taste,
as the old woman said when she kissed
| the COW. We merely revert to this little
episode by way Of illustrating the man
ner in which designing political WIRE
workers and Office seekers can make
tools of those whom they look upon
as the lower classes, and how finely
they can dance, and make some
body else pay the fiddler. Thank God
the Republican party does not have
to resort to such means Let US hear
no more about the Democracy not using
money to surrsptitiously carry their
ends, or Of their not influencing votes
among the miners through fear OF dis
charge. workingmen, reflect
