WHAT DOES 1T MEAN7


temptible silence acted out by that paper on
the all important subject OF Judicial nomn-
ations, speaks loudly. and tells every voter
in Placer that it is now, ne we have held it
has leen all along, losi'ively determined to
deceive The people OH every point of vital
interest to them. We have examined ev-
cry article in the argus for some time, but
have failed to zee a word in reference 10 che
Republican judicial Cos, enion prior TO it's
session. or a word showing any action Of hts
party in sending delegates to said ''conven-
ton. How did those delegates come to 60
there? Did the Central Committee meet
and appoint them? Ifso, why did not the
argus mention the fact +? Did they 60 there
on their own account? If 60, Why did not
the Argus uepudiho their unauthorized ac-
ton? But no, not word. We wo,hd
never have known, PERHAPS. had we rot
seen in the Cmton the names Of nine of
Placer's Republicans, one Of them acting
| proxy for the tenth, recorded ne delegates
from Placer to The Republican State Judi
cul Convention, that this s,rongt Booth, an-
ti-monopoly (D'Republican party Of: Placer
had assisted in the nomination of thoec
especial favcrites of Stanford, Gorhass,
Carr 4 Co., Dwinellc and Bronson. But
they did. they were there. A. C. Scott,
A. Laswcll, j. d. Redfer, A. j. Web
ser, II. L. Van Emon, 81. h. Crsndall,
proxy, L. 6. Spencer, j Il. Crandall,
r. Hoskin, J. R.Wis, B. r. Wells were
there, according to the Uaion. And what
did they do? Mingling their voices in one
accord with such confirmed railroad tools
as Sears, Boruck, Page (,he argus spe-
:ial favori'e, and stakeholder in the irstitu-
,ion), Coshan, Sahderson, FELTON,, Robinson,
Duffy, Mcfarland, Kent and numerous
others Of like ilk. they voted unanimously
in 10th cases in favor Of nominating candi-
dates known 40 be in sympathy with the
n onopoly, for The Supreme Court. And
by this action where are you, anti monopoly
Republicans Of Placer County? You are
bound by the action Of your representatives
1--WE don know how they came to repre- ent
you, but have reason to believe they were
sent there by the Argus-Court House Ring
TO support men for most important posi-
ton whom ro sensible man pretends TO deny
ere what are commonly called railroad candi-
dates. And what did the rrgus say last
week on this subject? Under the head of
Supreme Judges" it says the Dcmocra tic
and Republican Judicial Conven,'ns met a,

place and did 90 and so, what every rcade-
naturally knew, and never gave 'sHwoid or
lion of either, tut concludcd"wNh the apser-
ton that the Independents would make nc
nominations, and in saying So i, either must
confess to giving vent to lie Or its editor
must cknowledse most dep'oraLle degree
Of ignorance. The Truth is, it is in a lad
Fix and knows it, and is eudeayorng TO dis
guise its POSITION and deceive its readers Ly
silence. The fact is, Mr. reader-Mr. RI
publican reader, it made such bold face
during the recent short but impcrtant local
campaign in endeavoring TO 'nAke you be-
lieve that it was opposed to monopoly, to
subsidy, and, in fact, to all the things that
most of you re opposed t., that it is be-
wdered to know how to get back in its old
tracks where it belongs. 1t really has not
brains enough TO fix up an article showing
a plausible reason for the Republicans Of
Placer to endorse these railroad candidates
after the deceitful course it has been pur-
suing. The candidates are of course the
choice Of the 4rgus and the ring that con-
trolls it, but, poor, deceitful, political Eum-
bugs, they are ashamed to own them and
that, too, after assisting 20 nominate them,
is, indeed. rich its good-il's 20 good
that VIC can not find words to express tie
action in deserving terms, and must leave It
to the people to draw their own differences.
All know where the Argus and it's support
ers were year ago. and though it
changed is tactics and deceived some voters
by its two-faced course in the recent cleo
ton, it must row come out. return to it's
vomt, and renew hs arguments Of year
ago for the candidates of Stanford nd the
monopoly. Aud this is what we have al
ways claimed it must and would do when,
with any show Of success, it could, anG
what we are glad it now is forced TO do
The question now must lie fairly met.
There can be no lodging it. The Demo
Gratis and the Independents have nominated
anti monopoly candidates. End tie oify
