EDITOR UNION DExocRAr Now that the
smoke and dust of the late political contest
has cleared away, so that We are able to get
at facts and figures that definitely denote the
actions of men, we are regretfully forced to
the conclusion, after candid aad thorough
review Of the votes, and tie result in the
three counties. that good faith and fair deal
ing on the part Of Layo county. ,cos bit indif-
.terenfly reciprocated By portion Of the DEM
ocrats Of Taolamae. If considered at all.
The total vote of Inyo County on Governor;
at the late election was. SIT, Mono, 221, Tu-
olumne. 1885. II will he seen by this, that
Inyo and Mono cast 77S votes, while Tuol-
umne cast but little over twice as many
and has tico Senator's and three Assemblgmen,
leaving poor Inyo and Mono without any
representation. That the two last named
counties are entitled to Representative bv
every principle of fairness that should obtain
among honorable men in their relation to
each other, and by the common interests of
our constituency, and not as a matter of cour-
tesy, but as matter of equity and Of right,
none who understand the situation will have
the hardihood to deny, Otherwise, the object
is clear, that we were hitched on to Tuol-
umne as some people would prefix an appen-
dage 60 short and shrunken garment to
cover weaknesses and deformities. Have
the fishy Democrats of Sonora and Columbia
noticed how we'll their candidates were used
by tie Inyo Democrats-their candidate for
the Senate, Mr.. Eakin, running t,co ahead of
Haight, and the lowest candidate for the As
sembly only three votes behind while nv
vote in Tuulumne is l63 votes behind Haieht.
Certainly selfish strategy has exhibited
itself in Tuolumne not complimentary to the
parties engaged, or beneficial to the party
to which they claim allegiance. What prom
ises the weakened Democrats of Sonora and
Columbia may have eztorted from the Hon.
Mr.. Bacon | know not. Sufficient for me to
know that he was the regular nominee of the
Republican party, and must stand or fall by
the record Of that party. What is that rec
ord for the past ten years? A party that has
done moro by It's unwarrantable extrava-
ganee, its populations and it's every day de-
faleatons to vitiate and demoralize the pub
lie mind and impoverish the Government
than had been done since its formation.
1t will he observed that Mr.. Bacon runs
ahead OF his ticket exactly the amount l fell
behird r,inc in your county. From this, it
would appear that portion of the Democra-
cy were wheeled into the belief that Mr..
Bacon, alone, is about to overthrow the Re-
publican party. or in other words they con-
>idered him better Democrat than myself
The vote of Inyo, where am known, attests
in unmistakeable proof that they were salts
fled with my Democracy. But how is it with
Bacon Is he in earnest against the onward
infux of Cinnamon and Mongolians to our
shores? Will he favor resolution urging
upon Congress the abrogation of the Burin-
game treaties and an amendment to the Eel
eral Constitution and the enactment of laws
in conformity Herewith that will put an end
to their immigration? Will he do ali in his
power to overturn the subsidy record of the
Republican party for the past ten years?
Will he endeavcr to effect the repeal Of all
obnoxious military Ku-Klux Bills, (which are
fever sores on the body poltic) and oppose
all class and vindictive legislation MS I'M
worthy of great and free people? If not
then his Democratic friends have been
sold-been pleased with
rattle and tickled with a straw? There are
many good reasons for believing that this
county two years hence will have twice the
population it has now, in that case it will be
well for Tuolumne 20 be prepared to show
little more fairness and less bad faith or she
may find herself some fine morning like
Sampson Of old-"shorn IF her strength :"
Let Tuolumne revise her caucus system and
see to it that men adhere to their caucus oh
legations, or else the institution is but snare
a cheat, to vctimize the honest and stransle
the nnsophisticated. In conclusion let the
Democracy profit by the lessons of the lste
defeat which was caused solely by dissensions
in our ranks in various parts of the state and
rally unitedly at the polls on the 18th inst
If they do so there can be no doubt as to who
will have the victory.
Yours Fraternally.
