THE HARVEST IS RIPE AND LABORERS
ARE PLENTY.

shall we fight this year?"' "The HERALD, -
say they, "preaches our doctrine exactly, and
we are with you in your anti-ring and anti
monopoly principles; but must we join the
Liberal Republican and Democratic organ
ization, or cannot we form new organiza-
ton that will embrace all the anti-ring and
monopoly elements in one grand party and
sweep the county?" To these men we say,
you can have no hope in the old Republican
organization; it has been creased and swal-
lowed, head, ring, tail and all by the
monopolsts. They, the monopolists, own
the the Republican organs, officers and or
ganizatons all over the coast. Last yeai
Placer county had candidate in the person
of Hon. G. A. Tuttle, an old and esteemed
citizen, and the Republican County Central
Committee--dared not trust primaries, or
clear fighting delegation would have battled
for Tuitle-appointed milk-and-water dele
CATION one Of whom was known to be polt-
ical enemy of Tuttle from the start. This
delegation did the work of the committee
well. 1t "damned him with faint praise,
bound his hands and beat him, just what it
was sent for. The committee is the creature
of the Court House Ring, and the ring and
its organ the Argus, is the creature of the
monopoly, and all around is the whole Ca
Doodle, "like master like man." Tutte was
beaten and Page was nominated, and these
violent, anti-monopoly, (!D Tuttle (?) men
came back and said. "Oh we done all We
could for Tuttle, but he was beaten. Page
amt a monopoly man, and the man that
says he is, is a liar" The then Republican
paper, with Grants name for President
floating at its head, saw through the traitor
ism, said he would hoist Pages name, but
it was bitter pill and he would not take
his coat off and work personally for Stan
ford's man. Tuttle pocketed the insult from
his professed traitor friends. Then an at
tempt was made to buy Selkirk and the
Stripes, it failed, and these violant, indig-
nant ant-monopoly (D, in horn, fellows
pungled the cash and started Page, Stan
ford, ring organ, the argus. These are the
fellows that constitute the Auburn Court
House Ring and are now laying the wires to
give Stanford every Office in the county and
The members of the Legislature. Talk to
these fellows and they will tell you why we
are all against the monopoly, why even we
are going to instruct our candidates to go
into caucus and vote for Booth. Oh! yes,
put them in caucus which will tie their
hands and bind them to vote for Gorham or
some other railroad hunky, like hm-there
to be skinned, bled and gutted, and hung on
monopoly hook. Will you believe the
protestations of these fellows, that they have
drop of monopoly blood in their veins?
if you do.you should buy Gulliver's Travels,
read it through and swear by every word OF
it. There is no oath that could be invented
that member Of the ring could take that
would make us believe bin an ant i-monopo-
list, or that he ever would openly work
against that party. When the question OF
raising the railroad assessment was up, not
man in the ring would make complaint
or 90 on the stand and swear that the road
was worth over $12 900 per mile, though
they would all say, ooh! yes, it is worth
800, 900 per mile; and, finally, these fel-
lows who were fattening on county spoil all
failing, Democrat had to make the com
plant, and another be the witness upon
which the assessment was raised to S25 ,OOO
per mile. Who is your neighbor, ant-mo-
nopoly Republicans? The men of this ring
that sees you wounded in property and bleed
ng in purse and passes by on the other side Of
the road, or he that flies to your relief, replen-
ishes your purse and opens the way to save
you from the robbers? But to return to the
subject The Liberal Republican and Dem
ocratic organization, at its Congressional con-
vention at Sacramento, last FALL adopted
an anti-monopoly platform, which is now the
basis of the party and the grounds upon
which the people of Placer county have got
to fight and vanquish the ring monopolists in
the coming election in this county. We
carried this county last Fall on these resolu-
tions by over hundred majority, 4S9 Dem
ocrats not voting, which, if added, and they
will all vote this Fall, you can bet your life
on that, will make clean majority for the
anti-monopoly ticket this year, of 597 votes.
From this it may be seen that we feel very
easy whether we gain any more accessons
to the ranks of the Liberal Democrats or
not, and it might naturally be inferred that
a party this strong would decline to abandon
its organization. OF this we cannot yet give
our monopoly friends positive answer.
