Since our last issue, we've had consider
able weather in this city 1t has been OF
all kinds, from regular freeze-up to
balmy. On Saturday. the ground was
frozen sufficiently hard to bear up a
wagon; Monday and Tuesday, people
were making gar len; on Wednesday, it
blew gale from every point OF the COM
pass, and then subsidized, and Jupiter
Pluvius wept copious, gushing tears.
Thursday and Friday, Old Sol shone forth
in regal splendor, starting bugs and grass
| hoppers from their dreamy beds by his
genial rays. AS we go to press, it is
from fair to middling;'' but we cannot
venture a prediction in regard to the state
of the weather when our carrier gets
| around. The weather in Oregon, at this
season of the year, changes oftener than
the most fastidious gent changes his shirt,
and if it is pleasant tonight, it is just as
| likely to be cold as Greenland in the MORN
! ing as it is to be raining millstones.

THE LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC.

It is conceded by the San Francisco
Chronicle, the Stockton Independent. aid
other railroad Republican papers that the
ocxt Legislature will be Democratic. Tha,
sueh is true, in priuciple. there can be no
doubt. Between the members elected on
the straight cut Democratic ticket, and
those elected Oh the straight out Republi

little difference; he Democrats, If either,

Is was on these principles that the recent

CMAaAcrsnI.TIc OF TIE Man

CHAaAcrEH1.I1c OF TIRE MAN. Com
plants have come to us from those who
took All interest in the election Of w. S.
Cook, Of Dutch Flat, to the Office of Con-
Static; to tile effect that w. b. Lyon COM
mitted gross act Of injustice to. Mr.. Cook a,
who Vas die regular nomioec Of the same
convention which nominated Lyon, by print
ing large lat Of tickets with the name of a
relative of his on for constable instead of
Mr.. Cooks, whom Lyon in convention had
agreed to support, Tut whom lie thus de-
feated. Cooks friends may term this gross
injustice as long as they propose to treat
such acts with mildness. but We think that q
not the name for it. But treacheroue as it
may appear, it is only little rick which
speaks loudly OF The character Of the man,
sud !ntimatcs 10 the people Of Placer what
would have been the result had they
chsaced to END the Argus boss TO the Leg

BOOTH VS.. OTHERS.


"Touch him where he's tender if you want
him to jump" We touched tender spot Of
the Union last week, when We gave it TO
understand that We thought it was devoted
more to man than to principle. and il,
jumped. 1t acknowledges being welded to
man, but says that is not all. 1t wante
to see reform in lesislation. as we'll as 10
send reformer to the United States Sen
ate. We must remind the Union that
when the people Of Placer County who have
suffered equal with any other county in the
State from the evils which giant monopo-
y had hneultingly hesped vi on them. got
up a reforh, movement TO rid themselves
from these abuses. it took pains TO tell the
people that they would do we'll TO oppose
this move, and advised them to vote for the
same men, or cl ,ss Of men who had been
instruments in tile hands Of the monopoly
for goueing money from the poorer people,
and derriving them Of their just rights.
The U1ion claimed that Booth represented
a principle. Our :eform party pledged
themselves emphatically to that principle;
the others to the man. though it ignored the
very substance Of the issues, viz: local re-
FORM The Union pronounced these prin-
ciples good, Tut when it found, with the re-
form party in Placer they took precedence
to the man, it turned it's back ON the prin-
ciples and stuck to the man. Hence we
accuse the Union of sacrificing principle fo'
the sake of the man; and now that the
election is over, it calls on the very men
whose lection it opposed, and tells them il
they do not stand by it's man they will be
going back on their principle. 1t may be
that they will. If Booth is all the Union
claims Cor him, and if lie is the only man
who does really possess all the essential at
tribut.s which are necessary to enable
man TO faithfully and ably represent the
p ople of California on the present issues,
then should they fail to support him, they
would fail TO support the principles to
which they are pledged But is he !?
Maybe 60. But there is time enough be-
tween this and the meeting e the Leg'fla-
ture to determine all these things. BoolL
is a late acquisition to the Peoples party
Casserly has been fighting the monopoly for
years Booth may have thought the cor
ruptons and tyrannies of the Admnstra-
tion were great evils, but he has never said
so, to our knowledge. We propose to
speak of these two candidates for the SEN
ate, Booth and Casserly, with respect, aud
not do as the Union does, assail the one
that is not our choice and charge him with
being in league with the mo ,opol'sts and
with almost everything that is calculated to
injure him, whether it is true or false. Our
principle is this: The man who can best
represent us in the United States Senate on
the monopoly question and in opposing the
corruplions of Congress, is our man. for we
are emphaticaly and uncompromisngy in
earnest in doing our best to bring about
that reform which the nation in all its de-
parmen's is suffering for, and shall continue
to labor to the extent of our ability, through
the best avenues that may be presen ted,
for that end.

JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

The Democrats and Liberal Republicans
held their Judicial Conventi n in Sacra-
mento on Wednesday last. The conven-
ton adopted an anti-monopoly, anti back
salary-steal, unti-Coolic platform. and
nonina ed Judge Mckee of Alameda for
Supreme Judge to fill out the unexpired
term of Chief Justice Sprague, deceased,
an authorized the Central Committee to
place another candidite on the ticket to Gil
the place of Judge Crockett, should it be
found that Judge was to be elected for
that purpose. there being some dispute
among lawyers on that point. We know
Judge Mckee, personally. and have talked
with him on the monopoly question. and
can recommend him as one that is sound
on all the issues between them and the
railway corporations. Sam. Bell Mckee
is now the District Judge Of the Judicial
District in which he resides. Though he
is a Democrat, lie has been twice elected
70, that position in his district though it is
strongly Republican. thus showing that he
is extremely popular among all classes of
politicians where lie is best known. Judge
Mckee suits us exactly, and we believe
the Independents all over the State Should
endorse him ana make him their candidate
for Supreme Judge. This county was not
rerresen ed in the convention, as we have
an Independent organic ton, and the
County Central Committee of the Peoples
Independent party will be called together
after all the conventions have been held,
and all the candidates have been placed in
the field, and make choice Of the best
anti monopoly candidate presented, and
recommend the Independents to support
him.
