Stanford controls nearly all the State officer,
of California, and has won the first election
of 1873, in square contest in Sacramento
over the GRAFT Republican party. OF the
Republican vote OF Sacramento he carri led

State; and now, what? Our neighbor says
if Stanford is to rule the Republican party or
it is TO bust, it had better "bust," and we
say, let t'er bust 1t did burst in this county

party and squandered all its brains in putting
The monopoly candidate. No man of brains
and reasonable information pretends to deny
but what the elements that constitute the
political voice Of this country is in fact now
divided into two parties, one the producers
and the other the drones that live and grow
rich off the formers earnings. The schemers
and plunderers must belong to the Dominant
party, hence they all joined the Republican
ranks, and now own and control all its move
ments, actions conventions and candidates.
If rascal politically joins the Liberal Dem
ocracy, he must be regarded insane. In
this State the Republican party is irretreiva
bly, gone, swallowed up by the thieves, ras-
Gals and monopolists. There is scarcely a
precinct in the State that Stanford ct ais
can't control the primaries and name his own
delegates and candidates, if he so wills. The
honest masses of Republicans just begin to
see this, and now what Will they willingly

They have our consent if that is the stuff
they are made of. We have, or had, men

over again this Fall, keep up the old organ
izations, tie up the votes of monopoly Dem
ocrats md anti-monopoly Republicans? That
is cruel if not an actual crime, and we rebe
in spirit against it. We have Liberia

district; it has its nt-monopo'y platform
and we hold up both hands in favor of it.

voice in our councils, and a place on our
ticket if so determined by an open and fan
convention. The issues this Fall are una
voidable; they must be monopoly or anti
monopoly; the sentiments of the people are
now divi2ed on this issue, and we say lie:
the voters also so divide. Either ,he people
or the monopoly must rule this State and
county in the future, and this Fall is the
time to decide it.
