RI over who should be the nominees of our
party this year. For this act all good
Democrats, and all lovers of honesty and
justice in the State Of all parties should
honor and reward him. The fourteen Sena-
tors who stood by him in that struggle for
the people and aided him in throttliug and
strangling the vile subsidy horde who sought
to rob the people Of both their rights and
property should not be, and are not, by US,
forgotten. Here are the names Of these
faithful fourteen Senators:
Messrs Burnett, Conn, Fowler, Hager, Hunt
or, Irwin, Larkin, Lewis, Vaudeville, Minis,
o O'Connor Pende Jast, Perkins and Wand.
Without all anf-subsidy, ami-plunder-
ing plank in our platform, and a ticket of the
same good material, our party will be beaten
in the next State election if our enemies
have half the sense we credit them with.

PosTPoNEMxNT.- A letter from the Tr,s-
tees of the Ball and Concert to be given for
the benefit of the Rattlernake Bar School
District, under date of February 18th, says:
"We are sorry to say we have not been
successful in selling enough of the tickets for
the benefit Of the Rattlesnake School go as
to get the Concert and Ball off at the time
published. The very dry season-there be-
ING no water for the miners to work, has
been the greatest obstruction in the way Of
selling our tickets. Also the other Concerts
advertised to come off about the same time
interferes a little. We will say to the agents
and ticket holders that it will certainly come
off on the 22d day of March. We pass ST.
Patrick's day, for the reason it might inter-
fere with some other dances Or charitable
Concerts. Hoping this will be satisfactory,
we remain yours truly,

A Refreshing Contemplation.

It is refreshing to contemplate the wane OF fan
atcism in America from scientific standpoint,
in this day Of ventilated rights To any sober
thinker it will be accepted as evident that it is a
law Of nature to exact hostages for every comfort
and pleasure that accrues to mankind All true
workers bow to the majesty Of that indestructe-
bic operation of law, and without fruitless muir
mur pursue the even tenure OF their way. But
those who do not are the very thorns in the side
OF society-over goading! They arc simply ta,'-
cs. These chqft under that exaction, and per-
meate the atmosphere with their discordant and
voracious rawlings. Such sew the wind, in the

whirl-wind of their own creating; and when the
storm is over and the lull cometh, behold they
are not the winners that fancy had painted up,

atoms They again yearn for some unusual ex-

DEATH OF AN AGED GENTLEsIAN. Francis
McTarnahan died at the residence of George
Ferguson in Santa Clara county on the Both
of January last. Deceased must have
been about so years old at the time of his
death. We believe Francis McTamahsn
was native of Ireland, but had resided in
Piqua, Ohio, from our earliest recollection
say from 1880 until 1850, when he come
with his family across the plains and settled
in Nevada City, and subsequently removed
to Santa Clara Valley in this State where he
remained until death. An aged wife and
married daughter died in this State some
years ago. Three sons, middle aged men,
yet live on this coast. Two of them, John
and Isaac, in Carson City, Nevada, and
Samuel in San Francisco.
Francis McTanahan was for all the long
years of his existence noble, worthy true
and bonored man IN I'll he rel& .;ons Of liic.

Gorham and his pimps from robbing the

county is in the Railroad and Supervisors,
but our neighbor dare not whimper on that
subject, nor dare type in the Stripes office
be used to print the truth on that Company
or it's Supervisors. We are i'll favor of max
