MORE TROUBLE.

Each day nearly, brings the news Of
come county issuing call for primaries, Of
holding its nominating convention. In nearly
every case 60 far the actions of Republi.
cans are producing dissatisfaction. They
promise the people that they will amend
their past acts, by henceforth advocating
the nomination of good men opposed to the
peoples enemy, and devoted to the peoples
interest Under these promises the people
remain quiet, and Republicans proudly
cleave to their party organization hoping yet
through it to obtain redress for past griev-
ances. This is the case until action begins.
A cal for primaries is issued the day for the
convention is set, politicians begin to stir,
lectioneering commences, the same old tricks
are playted, and good people bolt.
Or, using figure, the match is struck, the
fire begnsto blaze, the pot begins to boil,
the old scum rises to the surface odorous
with impur ties, reveals the same ingredi-
ents which had proven so nauseating be-
fore; the people are asked to partake, they
behold the dish prepared for them, grow
sick at the stomach, turn away in disgust,
and declare they have supped long enough
of an ingredient which has proved injurious
to their characters, and brought upon them
so many nights of restlessaiess, and hence
forth forever they shall swallow nothing but
what is pure and agreeable to their health
if they know it. This result is foreshad-
owed by the action of the Republicans in
San Francisco their committee met few days
ago for the purpose of calling primary. A
disturbance arose, division ensued, one
party called a primary election for the 1st
of July, and the other party called meet
ing for the next night to do something else.
Last Saturday the primaries were held in
Solano. 'The obnoxious pot of Navy Yard
corruptbn' was again placed under the noses
of the people; they grew sick at the stomach.
On Tuesday the Convention met, and asked
them to swallow the contents of the pot at
which they rebeed. Thus failing in their
endeavors, the convention was postponed
until the Sth of next month, hoping in the
mean time to make the people believe the
dose they are asked to swallow is good for
them. This they can never do and if bolt
does not take place on that day we shall
know that the honest men of the party have
had a twist applied to their noses, their
heads held hp and dose of the rotten stuff
potred down ttBir tlroats. And believing
honest delegates Of Solaho county will not
submit to being thus gagged, we shall ex-
pect an uprising of the people in that county
which will result in puri6cation of their
political atmosphere

IMPOSSIBLE.

Under this caption the argus of last
week, after stating that'we'h had wopounded
certain questions for its reply, says of these
questions: "We, in good faith, in our next
issue, answered" Now, to begin with, we
must inform the Argus that it never d.
rectly answered single question which we
propounded to it. The questions were di-
rect, to the point, and expressed in few
words, and of nature which naturally re-
CURED direct answers. But instead of this
tine .Argus went away around Robinhood's
barn, and never found the door at last and
of course we were left where we began
The Argus editor had better read those
questions again. Some people have to'read
things over and over before they can under
stand them. The argus further On in last
weeks article says:
1.-The statement of our position was made
honestly and in good faith, and if differing from
the views held by the HERALD, we were desirous
.of entering into the discussion in order that the
rpAolic might be informed and enlightened as to
,erning the actions of each party, and the foun-
dation upon which such principles were based. y
If is so des;rous of entering into discus
sion with the HERALD, why don't it pitch in
There is the Hospital question, the High
School question, the monopoly tax question,
the Court House Ring question, tie county
printing contract question, and all the con-
.ceivable questions involved in the ensuing
political contest which the HERALD is and
has been discussing, and which are open for
discussion by the Argus, besides numerous
.other points of less importance; but to all
these the Arg,es has never given vent to
scarcely single paragraph, editorially; and
to 60 further, we might say that, Judging
from what it contains, it either lacks the ability
Or disposition to discuss anything.

WORSE THAN III.

Last Saturday the primaries were held in
Solano' County, and in the fight the honest
men of Vallejo rallied all their forces, work
ed with ardent zeal and made determined
effort to defeat the corrupted railroadized
navy yard. Regular Republican ticket, which
has so long held that otherwise prosperous
town within rings of CALLING torture, and
trod upon the working men of the place with
the iron heel Of oppression. But again they
were defeated. They wrestled hard for free
dom, but the strong hand of fate, combined
with the influence of the great chief, Sar-
gent, and the tricky and dnprincipled Mare
lslaml foremen, was too much for them.
We are SORRY for them, but not surprised.
When Navy Yard bosses stand at the polls
threatening vengeance on all over whom
they have any control, should they dare to
vote contrary to the interests of their great
chiefs, what other results can we expect
So far these corrupt Navy Yard'pets of the
great Grant Republican party in the coming
local elections have manifested even worse
|'disposition in the exercise of their power
than was committed by the bullying fore
men in the outrages of II when they, arm
ed with the tape-worm ticket, won the day.
But what has that to do with It's, say the
people of placer. Nothing, more than
further evidence to prove what we have so
oft asserted, that the unprincipled, oppres-
sive. tyrannical spirit of the" Regular Repub-
lcan party is not abating, as its leaders
would fain have the people believe. And
instead of obtaining though it relief from
heavy taxation and monopoly oppression,
which we have to suffer, and which it has
so repeatedly offered and continues to offer,
it is daily becoming more insolent, extrava-
giant, unprincipled and oppressive, and daily
the chances of relief through it are growing
more faint. There must be revolution
The organization of the Republican party is
corrupt; it is in the hands of designing men,
who are using the organization and party
name for fhe accomplishment ofpersonal and
extravagant ends, which, SO far as devel-
oped, are opposed to the interests of the
people, The good of the country and the
welfare Of posterity. A revolution implies
desperate undertaking, and is only justi-
fed under desperate circumstances But
while the Republican party have power,
reckoning from past acts, We consider our
liberties and rights as free men in danger;
and to rescue them from the hands of op-
pressors and place them once more on the
monument Of security, is worthy of desper-
ate work from every good man, and this Fall
is the time for THE work 10 begin

O1aciaI Paper of Placer County
The ISSUE SHAPED.

Meaner politicians than Sacramento can
produce, are not to be found on the Pacific
'Coast. For years it has been evident that
the thieves and monopolists were gradually
getting control of the organizations of both
the Democratic and Republican parties. To
us who stand on the hills, surrounded with
all that is pure in natare and where only
some flien ARE vile, and overlook the capital
city, ,Sthis has been but too apparent as well
as painful. The organizations, as we have
said above, Of both political parties, have
been prostituted by the great libertine, mo-
nopoly; hence the primaries and conven-
tions of both parties were called for the
same days, and both intended to be the
meet Of the great strumpet. Her Ryans,
Burkes and Jolnsons were to do the work
in the Democratic party, while the head of
the federal office-holders was to read the
programme in the Republican convention,
and order it ratified by the funkies of the
corporation. AS to the Republican conven-
tion, all was easy, but with that of the
Democrats it was in doubt. Very many of
the est and purest Democrats believed the
rascals and monopolists would overpower
them, and withdrew and acted with the
Taxpayers movement. The sequel shows
that had they staid with the party the Dem
ocratic would have been the party of all the
honest men in Sacramento County, and that
Nichols, Raymond, Armstrong and their
co-workers would have beaten the monopoly
and its hounds in their stronghold. The
Taxpayers convention was willing and ca
ger to fraternize with the anti-monopoy
members of the Democratic convention, as
was testified by their nomination of men
who were acting and fighting the monopoly
in the Democratic convention. When such
men as Greed Raymond, DR.. Nichols and
Judge Armstrong absolutely and positively
refused to run on the so-called Democratic
ticket, we must accept it as evidence that
that convention was finally captured by the
tools of the monopoly, the Ryans, Burkes
and Johnsons. The Taxpayers convention
was composed of delegates, about one half
,-of.whom were Democrats, and the other
half .anti-monopoy Republicans, and it
made a ticket fairly divided between the
two old parties, and all of the pure anti
monopoly stamp. The following are the
candidates nominated by the Taxpayers
convention for the Legislature, with the for
mer politics of each candidate added: State
Senator, Henry Edgerton, former Dem,
late Rep; Assemblymen, P. Coggins, Rep;
P. II. Russell, Dem, R Kerchival, Rep,
w. +. Ryan, Dem, J. n. Borton, Dem.
The other minor candidates are also about
equally divided in. their former political at
tachments. This seems to us to be the only
.'anti-monopoly ticket that will be run in Sac
ramento this fall, and with the present lights
before us, we think all antimonopoly Dem
ecrats should support it.
