ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IME "CHICK.'

Aop-about, squrm-around, Ay-diddle, soft
soap Lyon, who has the audacity 10 come
out before the people Of Placer county and
ask them 10 send him tothc Legislature, is
one of the most unreliable men in the county
for the position he seeks, on the present :

but we speak from authority which we can
substamiate lie is Railroad mana
monopolist--a deceilful INSCRIPTIONS, un-
prncipled politician; and for no other reason
than that he, possesses. these faculties TO an

as its irick-lorse, is a. fraud .ontiie people,
with a few good'mer only to give it color
In the argus of the 18th ult., Lyon said
The simple pledge of candidates that the,
will do sG-and-so, " is not sufficient; we
want men nominated whom we are satisfied
beyond any question are sound, reliable men,
and in wLom the people have confidence. "
Therefore The pledges of Lyon and his con-
ftderates not being sufficient, we must fall
back on their "known reliability" whicl
is also a minus quantity. They have al.
been tried and found wanting in fidelity to
the interests OF the people. Let lis sec
what the people know of Tins man Lyon.
They know that in 1870 lie tried TO keep a
hotel at lake Tahoe and advertised that yis

there, and whether or not he was in with the
Railroad Company that they should thus

pie know of W. B. Lyon, and they know
that such men the monopoly have use for
and they want them in as high positions as
possible, and for this reason he is on theil
ticket as candidate for the Assembly. They
know there is no chance for them in an open
contest, 70 they endeavor to win the fight
by stealth and deception. We give this as
an instance, and assure our leaders that
they cannot be TOO cautious, for there is
scarcely candidate on the ticket but what

to the issues pending in this contest. Their
