TOR CONGRESS.
ASCIAL COGGINs-.

Lay FoR THIM.-lt is said that Stanford
Pagc-railroad money has been brought into
this county to purchase votes fer Page We
know that some of these parties have con-
trbuted literally to a newspaper here, and
that ii is trying to earn its money. The
principle is the same, ard those who will
buy or sell newspaper support will not stop
TO buy votes This informotion comes TO us
20 directly and from so many sources that
We cannot doubt its truth We know the
class Of men that will be approached here,
and so do Democrats in every precinct in
the county, and now we haze this to say:
1t is as imperatively the duty of every Lib
eral and Democrat to set bail for these vote
purchasers, as il is t set traps for Chinese
chicken thieves or put out poison for
cayotes. The Governor has offered n
reward of 500 each for the arrest and
conviction of these vote purchasers, or any
other violation of the election law, and all
YOU have to do is to set your bait-men, get
The testimony, and furnish the evidence, as
the officers of tie law must do the balance.
Let few good, discreet men in each precinct
at once arrange for this thing, so we can make
an example of 40 or so Of these criminal
vote purchasers and monopoly dirt workers.
In doing this You will be doing your country
service, rid the country of these rascals,
and make money out of rewards. The or
CARNATIONS for this purpose should consist of
four or five of the most discreet and deter
mined men in each precinct. Here the mat
ter will be attended to, and we ask that our
friends do the same without fail in all the
other precincts.

TIE BoURBoNs. We have neither heart
nor patience to speak Of these fellows as
they deserve. The leaders are a lot of
fcoundrels like Brick Pomeroy who are
bought by Grant and his thieves, and the
devil is now gaping to receive them. Others
may mean well and are only acting wrong
for want of clear view Of the situation.
These, when they see that it is only Grant
men and Grant papers that encourage them,
drop the thing like hot potatoes. On the
whole, this straight Democratic movement is
the most complete fizz,e that ever occurred
in America, and now all respectable men are
ashamed of it, In this emergency of our
country we regret to see one man throw his
vote away. Greeley OR Grant will be cleo
ted. Either we must endure Grants tyran-
ny, taxation and robbing for four years longer
or elect Greeley and have genuine reform,
an honest government and a pure President.
1t is now the right and absolute duty of every
man in the land, who is in favor of reform, to
work and vote for Greeley and Brown. 1t
is time now that all growing ceased and
work commenced, that the women and chill
dren be sent to the rear for the battle is upon
us, and work ncessent, courageous work
must now be done. Are we degenerate enough
to give this country to plunder, tyranny and
destruction by Grant and his hoard of
thieves? The 9th day Of November must
answer.

GRANT AND STANFORD.

Though Stanford was nothing but coun-
try sour -four merchant, money seems TO have
enabled him to buy the President of the
United States. The proofs Of this hnmat.
ing truihare piled mountains high, but a few
home facts will serve TO con"incc the most
doubling Californian. Grant is commander
in-chief of the army ard navy and civil ser
vice, and, through his Secretaries, fills all the
Offices in the country. BY Stanford's and
1iunting,on's dictation Grant has filed every
Office in California with the tools and friends
of the monopoly, from Tom Shannon down
to the lowest Federal officer. Show us Or
namo to us single Federal oAicerin this State
that dare proclaim openly that he VII vote
against one of Stanford tools for Congress,
and we will show you man that will lose
his official head as soon as Sanford's minions
can communicate with Grant. Coz hlan is
Stanford's tool, and Grant is permitting the
robbery Of the Government by packing Mare
Island with hundreds and hundreds Of men
who have nothing to do, and can do dono,l.ing,
and are yet pail by Government to stay and
swear and vote for Coghlan, Stantord's can
didate for Congress. Eighteen hundred men
are now at Mare Island, eco Of whom are
idle, and all that apply and swear in the
club-room that they are legal voters and WI
vote for Cosblan, are yet being quartcred On
the Government. These men could vote for
Grant anywhere, but Grant and his tools are
packing them at the navy yard to vote for
Stanfords tool, Coghlan. Grant knows
they voted l 400 tapeworm tickets at the
seine place last year. lie could discharge
all the leaders in this nasty business in
day, but he won't do it, because he belongs
to Stanford & Co. v hat man of sense dare
deny in the face Of these facts that Grant il
so far as California is concerned, the creature
and tool Of the Central Pacific Railroad mo-
nopoly. And has it come to this, that the
President of the United States is the tool f
a local monopoly in California Not only
this, but Grant is the tool and chattel Of
every local monopoly in every section of the
Union, and they in combination nominated,
ard by money and ffauds unparalleled in
enormity, are trying to force his election on
the American people. Shame on the Demo
crat Or Liberal who will lounge in letharqy
while all that is sacred TO our honor, people
and country is in this danger.

TIE Contest IN THE EAST. The late cleo
tons have rot discouraged the Greeley and
Brown reform party in the Eastern and
Western States, but the frauds and rascali-
ties have disgusted all decent men. The
National and State Central Committees, both
Liberal and Democratic, have been holding
meetings and issuing addresses showing that
with one united and determined effort Gree
lev aud Brown lcW be elected and Grant and
his plunderer3 sent into retirement. The
Democracy and Liberals of Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New
jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Mary
land, New York, Deleware and the whole
South, are now inspired with an enthusiasm
that is sweeping all opposition out of the
way. The frauds and briberes in Pennsyl-
yania that are now coming to light are driv-.
ing respectable Republicans over to the re-
form party by hundreds and thousands 1t
wanted some such demonstration of rascalitv
as that of Cameron, Hartranft and Grant in
Pennsylvania to open the peoples eyes and
send them into the reform party. Our ex-
changes frcm the East are all confident of
victory. The only hope the Grant-railroad
monopoly have of carrying this State is
that Democrats will fail to turn out and vote.
Gorham now claims this State on the basis
that Is out of every 100 Democrats will
stay at home on election day. How is that,
Democrats ? Prove him a liar by voting,
every one of you.

APPROPRIATE Elcrdtor (colorcd
mans paper) of San Francisco, says on the
occasion of little Tom Shannon making a
ward speech; "'The stage horse never for
gets the crack of the whip or the hunting
horse the sound of the horn" Grant has
footed his born of distress and Stanford has
cracked his whip and little Tom Shannon,
Stanford Grant Collector, dives into ward
wigwam and makes one of his suffering
speeches.
The Placer herald., 1872-10-26

THATs THE Pluck. The Cincinnati
VoIksblaH, edited by the veteran patriot, NJ.
Hassaurek, one of the most influential papers
in the West, says of Ohio:
If the Grant party of Ohio carried the State by
$1,000 majority, only $500 votes are necessary
to neutralize this majority. Hamilton county
alone will furnish 5000 toward it, and in the
other parts of the State there will certainly be as
much done, if not more.
The VolksblaH is the great German paper
of the Mississippi valley, and knows of that
of which it speaks.

IT seems by the Codes that now when a
voter gets a transfer from one county to
another that he must appear before the
County Clerk in person and swear that he
is legal voter in the latter county. This
change is a nuisance and an outrage on the
voter, and what the Commissioners were
thinking Of when they made it is more than
we can imagine. They must have thought
that men had nothing to do but travel from
30 to 100 miles to the county seat every time
they change from one county 70 another. We
think the Code Commissioners ought to be
poor working men while; obliged to live
wherever they could get labor, and be dis
franchsed few times by this amendment of
theirs. This amendment makes the law
even nastier than Old Crazy Hawcs had it.

BLACK FRIDW.-This day will be long re-
membered by the monetary and com
mercial world Grant, his relations and
officials had been for long time holding
$100, GOO, 600 in gold in the Treasury and
selling it to importers, who must have it to
pay duties, at from $l2 to 500 profit on the
500, through private agents. The Dents,
Grants wife, Corbet, Grants hrother-in-law,
Boutwell, and Grants other official ring had
been making millions a year by selling gold
that was the Governments, and ro6bing both
importers and consumers. The greed Of
this ring became so great they formed a
league with Jim Fisk and other gold spccu-
lators, and determined to send gold w to
double its face, and thus make $100, coo, =
600 at grab. TO save appearances they
gave Grant and his wife $25 eco to leave
and 60 to the Pennsy ylvania State Fair The
game then commenced, and worked until "A
mighty, devastating monetary crash was
dUOUt 10 ONcTW UClil Tue WIOlt country, ana
not until the maddened masses threatened
the lives of Grants ring did they slack their
hold on the national goli bags. Boutwell,
has and is holding almost $1,000 coo in
gold in the Treasury all the time, while he is
making the people pay $4,000, geo year
interest on the bonds it would redeem Why
is this done? Simply that the Grant
Boutwell, Dent-Porer. Babcock ring can make
$25, GOO eco a year by loaning and specu-
laling on the gold that belongs to the people.
Tl.is is a nice band of thieves to ask the
people to keep them in power for four years
longer. With Greeley as President, liberty,
peace and prosperity will again bless The
whole country. Think of these things before
you vote ON the fifth day of next month.
Remember "Black Friday" and the long
chain of robbcries hat has followed Grant
rule for nearly four years and impoverished
the people and cursed the country, and then
vote for Greeley.

SHOW TIE BOOKS.

For four long years the people of the
United States have been robbed to an extent
that no civilized people in the world have
ever yet suffered, and now these plunderers
ask for an extention of time to rob US four
years more. Russia, one of The most popu-
lous and dcspotic empires in Europe, with
out the aid Of State and local governments,
taxes its people but $3.50, 900, 900 a year,
while Grant and his thieves tax our people
$3.50, 900, 600 year. Our expenses shonld
not be half that of Russia, and yet VIC are
made to pay $40, 0,000,0 900 more year
than even the Gar Of Russia can find it in
his heart to demand from bis serfs. $3.50
coo 600 a year Grant squeezes out of the
people; what does lie do with it? 5000, ,000,-
600 is ample to pay the interest ON the debt
and defray all expenses of the general gov
crnment, and the other $3.50 coo, 600 is
surely stolen each year. This is stealing
$36 from each voter each year, or $144 for
the Presidential term. Is it not time The
the government books were shown, TO the
American people? Vote for Greeley and
elect him and the books will be shown and
we will then know where all this stolen
money has gone and who has got it. Thev-
ing corporations rob the common stockhold
ers; Of this the people of California know,
but they have no conception Of tie amount
this great government ring corporation OF
Grants robs and plumbers them Of When
Greeley is elected and these robbers Of the
people arc exposed, they will startle the
world and cause the American people to say
as God said of the antideluyians: 'It
never entered into our hearts to conceive the
wickedness of men," Tammany is a pigmy
beside Grants thieves, the millions they
stole is petty larceny beside Grants hundreds
Of millions Show the books-elect Greeley
and you shall show them.

RULED Our OF TEE COUNTY If report is
true the Grant County Central Committee
of this county peremptorily ordered George
&. Gorham not to visit or attempt TO make
speech in Placer during this campaign.
While this committee gives Page its support,
who is with Gorham in everything, why
should Gorham be thus disgraced? The
organization of the Republican party in this
county is controlled by the monopoly, and it
only controls Gorham and Page in the same
way. This is like the pot calling the kettle
black; it looks like trying to steal march
on the people, but it wont work. Page as
well as the committee and Gorham has the
mark of the beast on him. Grant also stands
ready to sign the Goat Island bill, and is as
much tool of the plunderers as is poor
Page. Safety requires that the Grant cleo
tors should be voted against as well as Page.

Cor YoUR FooT In IT-Our neighbor Of
the A,'gas in lis zeal to aid his patron Page,
Stanfords candidate fer Congress, both in
omission and commission has gotten bis foot
deeply ''in it" The AJguS, in its attempt
to screen Page for not answering a letter
sent him by twelve Grant Republicans of
Nevada, charges that the same letter was
also sent to Coggins at the same time. We
have seen letter from Felix Cilct, the wri
ter Of the letter to Page, in which he says of
the 1rg1tS statement: "Ihis will emphat-
cally call barelaced lie We did not send
any such a letter TO Mr.. Coggns, for the
reason that Mr.. Page was the candidate Of
our party, and we canddly expected that &c
as our candidate would answer promptly our
questions" Now, neighbor, Gillct has got
you, and how are you going to get out Of it p?
The Ayyus knows that at first Page got
but one vote from this county, and that was
from a delegate who's business was in the
power of the Il. R. company. We are will
ing that Stanford should run Page, that The
A1gas should support him, and that our
"Giends at tie Court House," as Judge
Fellows terms them, should also support
him. BY the way, who did Judge Fellows
mean, when he had to "assure our friends
at the Court llouse" that the Stripes would
be all right for Page ? 1t was not the. .Supcrvi-
sors or Sheriti-thca who was it? We pity
that mans ignorance, want of perception and
obuseness, that will at this late day contend
that Page is rot the fast friend and willing
insirument Of llo grinding monopoly. The
man that will support Page would support
Stanford if he was the candidate instead of
Page.
