SHAME, WHERE IS THY BLUsH7

and very true adage. The truth Of the aj.

an article in The last issue Of the Stripes

Is this the article that was written by a
lawyer while Mcfarland sat esids him die

through the quasi order of this same Judge

yet over in the Cour. House Clique. as Judge
Mcfarland insists upon having his "pound

hand. The idea Of asking may, begging
decent Democrats to vote for Mcfarland is
90 stupid and self debasing as to lead US to
doub, the sanity Of the writer, whoever he
may be. A respectable Democrat vote for
the man that said, one short year ago, 81 1t
were better that onr daughters were given

next idea we find in the article is, that as
men who had oncs acted with Republicans
and became disgus,ed with the ringism tia,

their coarse abuse Of respectable men, their

through gratitude, turn in and vote for the
man who has done more than all Others to
break down his own party. is go extremely
new, novel and nonsensical, as TO convince
all that it could not have found a place 10
the columns Of any other than a drowning

ing 10 admit that Judge McFarland's course
since he bas been on the bench has done
more to disgust and drive respectable Re-
counties Of Nevada and Placer-aye, more
to build up. consolidate and ill up tho ranks
of our party and make the District Demo
cratie than all other causes combined but
while this should and wi i induce good men
everywhere, formerly Republicans. to vote
against him, it is no reason why Democrats
should hefoul their record tarnsb their hon
or and disgrace their party by voting for
such candidate. No, no. That is "ousge.

man that its own party won't support, it
must not call upon the opposition to come
to The rescue, simply because he is distasle-
ful to the more respectable members of his
own party. The people Of this dislric. have
had upon the bench for years, a Judge who
is notoriousy mere politician one whose
every idea and act has been secondary and
sutservient TO the mere political dogmas Of
the day one who has stadled 10 coin SEN
tences dsgraceiul alike to the high toned
party man and the Judge. and one who has
descended to the petty primary pool OF poll
tics in which to soil the Judicial ermine !;
and now that they have chance TO vote
for man Of legal mind f long and emf
neut practice, - one who is not and has not
been mere politician, thev Will vote Tor
this man T. B. REARpAN, and elect him, too,
on the 20ih day Of this month.
CoLFAx Town SITE. We have published
two communications bearing upon this ques.
ton, in late numbers Of the HERALD, and
are now in receipt of another long one. In
tares,al parties in Coifax must by this time
be familiar with the matter, and as the
question in dispute is now pending before
the Register and Receiver OF the U. S.
Land Office al Sacramento, We can see no
real good that can result TO any one in a
continued newspaper controversy, which has
a leaning to be personal. We like to have
correspondence from different portions of
