heartlessly but respectfully declined to

Mr. Weed in the editorial columns of the

There is one thing that should not be
forgotten: The very same me in this
State who were opposed to the adoption
of the Cincinnati platform and the NOM
ination of Greeley and Brown by the
Baltimore Convention, are opposed to
the Liberal movement i'm this State.
They cannot succeed themselves, and
they do not want anybody else to sue
eeed. They intend to rule OF ruin. They
were oveTruled in national politics, and
they now fall back to their last ditch in
State politics. Previous to the Balti-
more Convention, they expressed IA
preference Of Grant TO Greeley audit
is to be feared that their eleventh hour
lukewarm support of Greeleyis a snare.
Tic they are honest and sincere init, why
do they not take part in the Liberal
movement in the State, since the State
Reform party is q myth and the Demo
cratic State ticket, nominated by the
Convention, d confessed failure If the
few individuals who have constituted
themselves the aespotic rulers of the
Democrats and Reformers, would with
draw their bogus ticket, the success Of
the Liberal ticket would be assured
beyond d doubt. We believe IT viii suc-
coed anyhow, over all opposition; but
if ii should fail, tie Taxpayers will have
TO blame only the rlIinp Democratic and
Reform Committees.

whyq Because this ticket will not be
supported by the Pinchback wingof the

people at all, and will therefore ensure

The COMMITTEES TICKET.-Ina card
explaininghow Messrs. Jumel and Boar
man were showed overheard, Mr.. LaSere
chairman of the Democratic Committee,
says:
1t may be well to add in this connec-
ton, that the other candidates, Colonel
McEnery included, were subjected to
the same test. and held their places
only after a thorough discussion of
their strength and availability.
So, the Committee paid no attention
to the ticket as nominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention, but assumed the res
possibility of revising the action of
that Convention, and rejected all the
Conventions candidates that a few in
dividual members of the Committee did
not think strong and available enough
for their own purposes. Some think they
threw overheard the two strongest mer
on the ticket. Theticket as ~emasculated
and revised is in no sense a Democratic
or peoples ticket, and has no claims
upon any class of voters. A ticketnomi.
mated by any individual or set of indivi.
duals, would have equal claims for pop
ular support.

FCN AHEAD.-Two well known citizens
OF Shasta, were few Gays since, discussing
the probabilities Of the election in the dif.
ferent States. One was born on the sacred
soil of The State of Pike, and having laud-
able feeling of State pride that "Old Miss
onry" could not be out done in anything,
ccntended that the Democratic stomach
Of that State could stand an unlimited
amount of that noble fowl rye crow" and
that as logical consequence Missouri would
so for Greeley. The other was born near
the home of the "Sage of Chappaqua," and
knowing that llosace would be repudiated
blythe az "Kuickerbockers" felt sanguine that
he would be throwed by the ''Pukes' also.
A bet was thea made, conditioned that tie
loser pay the winner pair Of slippers, and
that lie walk bare footed up the middle cf
the street lrom Knox's place to McGary's,
delivlr the slippers, take drink ard re-
turn as he came. Present indications are
that Old Pike has justified the faith placed
in her by her devoted son, that Gratz Brown
has drawn Horace through, and that the
last scion of the Knickerbockers will have
soon to make the pilgrimage. VerJum

The ELECTIoN.-The election on Tues.
day passed of the most quietly of any cleo
tlon We have ever seen. The Democrats
took thcir. dose of "crow" in funeral silence,
and walked away from the polls as though
ashamed II having been seen there, while
the Peprblieans felt as though it was only
going through form, the contest being in
fact aiready settled. Elsewhere, we give
the returns of the different precincts re-
ceived up to the hour of going to press 1t
viii be seen that while the vote Of the op-
position was divided between Greeley and
OConnor for President, Luttrell has re-
ceived the full vote of both wings. If he
is eleeted as the returns at present indicate,
it will afford a most magnificent example of
the sublime power of "cheek," when it is
assisted by shameless mendacity and per-
sistNnt Misrepresentation.
