The amount stipulated to get in was satisfac-

bored without reason as has been the case 10

grateful for the kindness that has been shown

to withdraw leaving his party to act free,

The Central Committee of the Democratic

Primaries are to be held on Thursday the Eth
inst, commencing at four clock and to re-

for ambitious aspirants to carry, lose and re-
carry their precincts. Among other duties
assigned to this Convention are those Of nomi-
mating a Senator, and Members of Assembly
for this Senatorial and Legislative District,
composed of Mono. Inyo and this county-we
are sorry to see that the Committee appear to
have taken no action towards suggesting the
propriety of either of those counties taking
part with us in nominating these important
Offices. Without the assistance of the demo
Gratis Of those counties, it will be difficult to
elect the nominees of the coming Conv ention
by all means they should be allowed to have
say so, as to whom they would prefer to sup
port, the time is short now for them to CO.
operate. The test prescribed by the Commit
tee is entirely too narrow for o party that
desires 10 progress, under such tost, how
can it be expected that the Democratic par
ty can carry the State at the next election.
If none but those who voted for Seymour are
to be allowed to vote, the democratic ticket
this year, of necessity we must he beat, for
the reason that more voted for Grant, and
those who may see that they have been in
error, are not allowed to have any voice with
democracy, however much they may wish.
This test prohibits new acceSsions 10 our

Fifteen Years Conc.

To DAYS issue closes the fifteenth volume Of
the UNION DENocRAr. Fifteen years have
rolled around since the publication of the
first number of the DExocRAr. Looking back
upon these past fifteen years we are reminded
of the precarious and uncertain nature of
journalism like an individual it comes to
the surface, shows signs of animation for a
period, then sinks in silence to be heard no
more. How few journals published in Cal
fornia in 1854 are in existence at this time.
Oar contemporaries one after one have drop
ped, leaving US to nlod on and fill the destiny
allotted to as we best may. Among the
California press we claim to be a patriarch,
aud in doing so we are almost overcome with
wonder to think Of the eventful and stirring z
times through which we have struggled,
the difficulties we have had to surmCunt
the abuse and threats we have had to
endure. We are proud of the record the
DEMocRAr has made, in ever being the ear
nest advocate Of the principles of the Demo
cratic party. 1t has always been found on
the side OF law and order, denouncing al. or
CARNATIONS whose tendency led to anarchy
and confusion let il have been Known Nothing
ism. Vigilance Committees, 5, or Republicauism
At The commencement of our publication the
written Constitution of the United States was
the Supreme Law governing our land. during
our publication that constitution has been
abrogated and set aside by The governing
classes who reached to power. and for some
time have controlled the destines of the ma
ton. We have witnessed this change from
peace, order, and venerati"n for healthy
laws, TO war, anarchy and appeals to higher
law, with a recognition of the Constitution
only when it did not interfere with some
perfdious attemptto strike at the liberty ofthe
citizen or the State. We shall not despair to
see these wrongs rghted, and will not be
wanting in effort to bring about the consuma-
ton desired by every lover of American ma
tionality.
In the future as in the past, we will cling
to our cherished principles, conscious that
sooner or later the right must triumph over
fanaticisr and corruption. We shall en-
deavor to be true to the material interests of
our glorious State and to Tuolumne County
we shall also arrogate the right; believing it
to he duty, to cri tcise not only the actions
and conduct of our political opponents, but
those of our own faith or creed, who may
reach official station, should they allow them
selves to be actuated by other than proper
motives in the performance of their official
duties, with the hope that our efforts in the
future may be the cause of some good we bid
kind farewell to the year now passing away,
and stand ready with bright hope to welcome
the commencement Of another to our history.
