The Placer herald., 1873-08-30
DECEIVED By the COATING.

The slick tongued platform, and soapy
pledges Of the railrosders in this county we're
studiously composed with view Of catching
/ and beguiling gentle honesty and sweet in
nocense into their trap. And to their
credit, be it siia. rhey did sbe work 80 we'll
that even the Onion bit, rolled the moreel
over with its tongue. tried to swallow it,
could not, spit it out. and said it was not
good Next il tsek . tsese of tho Inde-
pendent move, and at oneo pronounced i,
good. Then what. . stir aud furry there
was hereaboutA; chicks. raiSoade,s, ringers
and monopoly epoo,Iies could be seen run
ming hither and yon in every direction. At
last they came together. held council. and
decided to send Lyon down to the Union
with some Of their pills, and instructed him
TO coat them over. if possible. so thick with
such articles a. would be pleasant to the
Union's palate, that the real ingredients
could not be ruspected, much le.s tasted.
Say they, the Union is making a deter
mined fight for Booth, it likes Booth, 60 be
sure and spread plenty Of Booth on our
pills. do that and the Union will swallow
them. Lyon went down, went to the
Uuton, and plastered each pill go dick
with Booth, that naught else could be seen
by the toe eager Union. Lyon said:
"trate:" it tasted. "Do you taste any
Booth in that?" rays Lyon, "Oh, yes, all
Booth; very good, we accept it. You may
go" The Union to be sure, after Lyon
left, picked up the Independent pill, tasted
it again; says, "all good ingredients tut not
enough Booth" With the two lots Of pills
on the shelf, the Union occasionally looks
at them but turns away without saying a
word, for it is at a loss TO know which are
ulle most adapted to its condition. Again
It looks, takes lick Of each, and. i'm
pressed by the favor Of the coating, sits
down and writes, We think. Of the two.
cine Republican pills in Placer County are
'le strongest favored with Booth. and
s!,ereSore are the best. Thus it is and thus
1t will keep licking at these pile. until abou
sle time the Legislature meets, when should
Lyon & Co. be chosen by the people, it will
find to its dsmay and disgust, that all the
Bostl' has disappeared from these Republ
cau pills, ard naught remains but little
lump of corrupt Republicanism. While
the deeper it licks into the Independent
par, the more Booth, honesty aud good
purpose it will find they contain, for it it
sound to the core If it would lay upo,
these pills, it would find the very nucleus
Of the Independent pills are composed Of hon.
est purpose and monopoly, anti corrup
ton principles. While the nucleus Of the
Republican Iils are composed Of corruption
and dccel ton. If the Union wishes TO fird
whether we HI We truthfully represented the
position and reliability Of the parties in this
county on the present issues, We would in
vite it to take trip along tie line Of The
raj road, find out the character of the men,
;nd their relation with Booths and tie
peoples great enemy. the c. p. X. r. cor
psratsn, who are working 30 eagerly for th
so-salled Republican candidates. If it will
do 70, it will be convinced to its sorrow
that II is pursuing courre in direct oppo.
stiou to its own ard Booths interest.
