The Republicans of this County have nom-
mated Legislative ticket that should be sup
ported by every member of their party.
All their nominees are truly "loyal," and
were very sound during the war, in their op-
position to coppsrhsads. No cry can Be rails
cd agains. any of them that they threw of or
exhibited any rebellious tendencies during the
military necessisy." They have made q
representative ticket for all the radical recon
structionists, and for the Fifteenth Coustitu.
tional Amendment, as put up by the Internal
Revenue and Judicial departments of this
District. Their nominee for Senator is Capt.
Stephen Wing, of Columbia, he is a quiet.
peaceable and orderly gentleman, strictly rad.
ical in his politics, is said to have been iden-
tilted with the so-called "whisky bead" por-
ton Of his party. we have known him as
Captain OF the "Tuolumne Home Guards, "
than which company, none braver. ssaid at
home during the "onpleasantness."
The next is Sergeant, Frank York, for
member Of Assembly. Frank is O modest
man IN most things, but he is very heavy in
his speeches on "loyalty," the "boys in
blue" and Grant. He was steadfast during
the war, showing his patriotism as First Sar-
geant of Company B, Sigel Guards. If We
remember rightly, this company was not
brought into action during Franks connec-
tiou With it. The next nominee for the Is
sembly, is another old soldier, who fought,
bled and died. Inyo County, nominated
Capt. Ferdinand X. Miller. which nomination
was ratified by tho Republicans of this coun-
ty, who put the name of this "pie eater" on
their ticket. Capt. Miller, formerly lived at
Shaw's Flat in this county, where he COM
manded Company &, Grant Guards, be be-
haved himself well throughout the war, al
ways retreating in good order. When he left,
the company had nothing left, but it has been
left to Inyo to dig up and place this valiant
soldier before his Shaw Flat friends for them
to send him to the Legislature. What funny
things happen. 1t was informally reported
to the Convention. that Mono had nominated
Seth G. Sneden, for Assembly. Now, Seth
once on a time was domicied in this county
where he is we'll known, and although be hes
not made as brilliant military record as the
other gentlemen associated with him on the
ticket he is entitled to high considerations
from bis party, he was as sound as the sound
est boy in blue, and did oil he could to save
the "best government the sun ever shops
on" He probably would have been a Cap
tain il there had been men enough in his
county to form company.
Judging these men by their past record,
what other conclusion can be arrived at, 9th
er than that they will support any and oil
measures that are proposed by their party.
If elected. there can be no doubt that they
will sustain all the radical measures of recon
struction, and that they will vote. for the ad-
option of the Fifteenth Constitutional Amend
ment. The resolution passed by their Nomi-
mating Convention is as meaningless as it is
shallow, and will not cause any voter who is
opposed to negroes and other inferior races
being clothed with the elective franchise to
vote for them.
These nominations we're made through the
manipulations of the Internal Revenue and
Judicial, Departments of this District, and in
their interest. They favor every thing radi-
cal, will their dependents dare to disobey
their bidding, should such miracle trans.
pire as their election. Home Guards know
how to obey orders better than that.
