Legislature composed of niuety-hve Democrats
and twenty-five Republicans, passed subsidy
bills amounting, principle and interest, to more
than thirty million dollars, and this in the face of
an anti-subsdy resolution in the Democratic
platform; and yet the leaders of the party have
the audacitv to claim that their party is entitled
to the support of those who are opposed to sub
sidizing railroad companies. They count too
largely on the gullabilify of the people. The
honest voters of the State will not allow them
selves to be caught twice in the same trap. Sore
experience has taught them that the Republican
party is the only political organization to which
they can confdentially look for reform in the ad-
ministration of the State Government Vallejo

THE PRosPECT IN MARIN.-By reports received
from various parts of the county it appears that
the members of the Republican party are SAN
guine OF rescuing Marin county from Democratic
msrule and will roll up handsome majority
for Booth and the entire Republican ticket.
The Democrats are correspondingly detected.
Four years of Democratic administration have
sufiiced to open the eyes of our citizens to the
fact that the Democratic party is not fit to be
trusted with the reins of government, and they
have accordingly signifed their intention of thus
expressing themselves at the ballot-box on the
9th day of September next. The Republicans
were never so confident as now, and we predict
an overwhelming defeat of that ancient institu-
ton, yclept " Democracy '-Marin Journal.
THE Democratic platform endorses the admin
istration of Governor Haight In so doing, it
endorses, as a matter of course the eighteen
subsidy bills that he signed the creation of
commissions in San Francisco, the annual sala-
ries Of which amount to Sl57 900; the demoral-
izng lottery bill the erection of the Burnett
monument ont OF the public treasury, as well as
subscribing 81 900 to pay for Neuman's flag,
both under the hypocrtical pretense that he was
paying the expense out of his own pocket; his
refusal to either sign veto the Sunday law
and the thousand other wrongs and inconsistent
cies of which Governor Haight is guilty. And
now the party talks " Anti-Subsidy" and g Re-
form. "-AdTgSUWe Appeal.
THE number of subsidy acts on the statute

Democratic administration, is eighteen. While

self against the abuses which were being perpe-
trated. Finally, two years afterwards, Gov.
Haight began to see that if he would save him
self and his party, he must make stand against
further subsidies. Hence be vetoed the last two
acts that were passed, and on the strength of
these vetoes he stands up AS the great ''anti-sub-

WILL BE BEATEN.-The Democratic party will
be beaten, in this State Mt the coming election,
and no one appreciates that fact better than the
Democrats themselves Popular favor is firmly
and decidedly with the Republican organization,
and has been steadily drifting that way ever
since the nominations of the latter were made,
and comparison of the two tickets could be
had. The head of the Republican ticket is with

MORE APPRECIATfvE.-A few nights since Col
Lewis addressed meeting of Democrats at
Dutch Flat, but failed to arouse much feeling
While he was speaking countryman drove up,
and the dogs which followed his vehicle soon
got into a wrangle with other CANNES, and
scene of confusion resulted. Presently Lewis
got an opportunity to make himself heard, and
remarked that there were few Democrats pres
ent and number of dogs, but he thought the
dogs were much the most enthusiastic members
of his audience. Sacramento Union.
The REPUBLICAN PARTY.-All men who really
desire reform know they only obtain it from
the party which has fulfilled thus far all the
magnificent promises of three triumphant cam
pagns. The Republican party has everywhere
within the sphere of constitutional possibilities
carried out those schemes of reform upon which
it came into power. The reforms of the future
lie also in its hands. 1t will accomplish them
as fast as it is safe and lawful Vattejo Recorder
WHILE the Democratic party is distracted and
its members pulling every-which way, the Re-
publican organization is a unit, and will there
fore poll its entire strength, thus insurng its
success. We doubt if single Republican voting
for Haight last year, will repeat the experiments
and in that event, his support will be like lean
ing upon broken reed, as he cannot, under any
circumstances, receive anything like fnll in
dorsement of his party.-Spiru ofthe Tines
IT is stated that Governor Haight has ap-
pointed Commissioners whose salaries in San
Francisco alone, amounted to over $l00. 900 a
year. And Notwithstanding his liberality in the
creation of places, there are Democrats who
complain that the Bread-and-Butter Brigade
needs recruiting. VaNjo Recorder.
