TO THE BREACH.

Republicans of Trinity county, the decisive
day is drawing nigh. There is victory to be
won, and the prize is within your grasp. Sue
cess is surely yours, but you must pay the price.
1t is necessary that you enter into the contest
with all the energy you possess, and fail not
now until election day. Looking over the field
the prospect is indeed encouraging. lou have
an innate consciousness that you are fighting for
the right that your political course is controlled
by an earnest desire for the welfare of the ma.
ton. You realize in your nnfost hearts that
when you cease TO be devoted lovers Of your
| country you cease TO be Republicans. The
Republican party, in this county, has no camp
followers. Party dissensions have done their
worst. Those Who joined our organization sim
! ply to obtain Office, are wallowing 10 the
mire Of Democracy. The Democracy of this
| county have profusely spread molasses to catch
Republican flies. They have entrapped few OF
the weak-minded and unwary. High taxation
and the reaction inevitably following upon the
long continuance in power of the same party,
has been against u.s. We are like prize-6ghter
trained for the contest there is no superfuous
flesh TO cucumber our exertions. The state
ment has been industriously circulated by Dem
ocrats that the county was Democratic. Not
Republicans who knew the facts were no doubt
willing they should deceive themselves. The
Democracy always make the mistake of leaving
all moral Influences out of their calculations.
In this county these causes control the elections.
Look at the facts From every precinct we hear
mutterings Of discomfort because of the arbi-
trary, high-handed proceedings ofthe Democratic
County Convention. Say what you like, Dem
ocrats will rebel against clique domination as
quick as Republicans. If there is a difference,
the movement won't be as general. Every now
and then we come across Democrat who in
tends voting for Booth. This is significant, and
when we remember that no Democratic speaker
or paper has had word to say against Booth,
and that all Of them at the same time have found
it necessary TO defend Haight at great length,
can we not understand the cause? Republicans,
we say unto you that, unless outworked by the
Democracy, you can elect every your dck-
et Are you disposed to be defeated through
half exertion? We do not believe it. Pass the
word along. We going 10 elect the people s
ticket. The Republican nominees are the peo-
plies ticket Their interests are here and
through their election all parts of the county
will have friend at court The Democracy
can rely on on nothing but party feeling The
odds are with us. Republicans of Trinity coun-
ty, you have been lying on your arms long
enough. The Democracy are advancing boast.
ful and full of bravado. Up, and at them

OUTSIDE QUESTIONS.

At the approaching election the voters are
called upon to decide whether the Legislature
shall have power TO appropriate money for more
than two years or not. The proposed amend-
ment will operate as check upon 4 reckless and
extravagant Legislature, and might possibly en-
barass an honest, public spirited one. While
the Legislature might perhaps be limited to ex-
penditures for specified purposes, the prohibi-
tiou will be better than none at all. Following
is the amendment referred to:
Article One, Section Twenty-two-The Leg
islature shall have no power to make an appro-
priation of money for any purpose whatever for
longer period than two years"
There will also be submitted to the people for
their ratification or rejection: "An Act enti-
tied an Act to provide for the payment of the
funded Indebtedness of the State of California
and to contract a funded debt for that purpose.
The act provides that for the purposes above men

that the bonds shall not be sold at less than
ninety-one cents on the dollar par value. The
proceeds of the bonds are to be applied to the
payment of The present funded Indebtedness Of
the State in the order of the issuance of bonds

b. which the State will profit.

"THE TRIMMERs."

We read in English history that once there
was q party in the British Parliament led by
Lord Halifax and called The Trimmers. This
club or clique were not identified closely with
either the wings or tories, who constituted the
political parties in England. These Trimm ers
held the balance of power between the two par
ties, and bad a way of their own of support ng
the best men and the best measures without re-
gard to party notions. Under these crcumstan-
ces, neither wings nor tories could put up any
thing, but were compelled to appeal to the good
sense and consciences of The Trimmers In this
State there are good many Trimmers. In 1867
the Republicans met with disastrous defeat in
the State. "ring' manipulated the State
nominations, and The Trimmers, the men whose
political ideas rose above mere partisan prejud-
ces, defeated Gorham and the whole Republican
State ticket The men who nominated Gorha m
left The Trmmers out of their calculations.
That's what the Democrats have done. In the
face of the record of Governor IIaight and the
Democratic party in this State for the last four
years, they have renominated his Excellency,
and Endorsed the proceedings of the two last
Democratic Legislatures. This is an insult to
the Intelligence of The Trimmers which they
will not fail to resent at the polls. 1t is the in
dependent thinkers for themselves who will not
bow down to party dctation, who preserve the
Liberties of this country. Whenever the time
arrives that the voters blindly follow party lead
ers, the last hour of the Republic has come. 1t
is the independence of thought and action char
acterstic of Calfornians that will elect Booth
next Governor of this State. The same is true
of this county. The Democracy have been loud
in their boasts that they had fifty or sixty major
ity. They never have dared TO stake coin on
this proposition, and will not now. If they ever
had reason TO expect q majority, their nomiua-
ting convention dispelled all reasonable calcula-
tions of that sort. The same causes produce the
same effects, and in a county as in State W h en-
few men selfshly dictate and manipulate nom
nations in their own interest, then The Trim
mers have word to say. The people are unal-
terably opposed to political rings and cIques
The voters of this county have already made up
their minds concerning the late Democratic Con
vention. If the Democracy had a majority in
this county, right there it was lost through the
iutrigues Of a few men.

DO anything for this county or the people thereof,
in his high official position? Now a great deal
has been said about the Democratic nominee for
the Assembly. l would like to ask him to tell
the pc ople of this county whether he ever expects
10 return to them after his election if such
should be, and if he should return, how long he
will remain? Does he expect to improve his lot
in Santa Rosa, or does he expect to reside for
any length of time in this comfy? The people
would like to hear from Mr.. Tnnn concerning
the subject of his future residence. Let him
purpose of future reference at least, for there
should be no doubt in regard to this matter in
the public mind The ailirmatons of journalists
pro and con, will not satisfy the people, while
Mr.. Tinnin is present and can speak for himself
If he is going to leave the county as others have
done who have been trusted and honore1 by

to consider whether our representative should
not be a man whose interests are identified with
ours, and who will live and die am ing us.

RAIGHT VS. HAIGHT.

sixteen special subsidy bills giving to railroad
corporations more than three millions of dol
lars to be taken from the pockets of the people
Next, be favored, if be did not propose, gener.
al law surrondering within certain limits the
constitutional guardianship which the Governor
and Legislature have over taxation. The So
called five per cent. act approved by Governor
Haight, if carried into execution, would impose
. tax upon the people of San Francisco alone OF
more than S., ,OOo, 900, and upon the people OF
the State more THAI $50, 900 600. Public senti.
ment became aroused and his Excellency hast.
ened to trim his sails to the breeze of popular
opinion. Right on the heels OF his subsidy ac
| ton we behold him going into the newspaper:
with lengthy comm unications, arguing that al
subsidy legislation was unconstitutional. In this
matter it was IIaight against Haight What
ever verdict was reached, Haight was sure to be
wrong. A Democratic Supreme Court have de.
cided that his Excellency as an anti.subsdy
man reasoned badly. Democratic speakers and
papers cannot defend his subsidy record. They
only ask the voters to overlook it and accept bis
professions. Now were this all, it might have
some effect, but when we look further we find
that Mr.. Haight has been on every side of every
political question - everything by turns but
nothing long. He is Democrat to-day-he was
