The argus, good moral paper as it would
have people believe it is, adapted 10 little
children. and suitable as texts for the moral
discourses Of grand mammals, says the

In reply, we say ~c tell nothing but what

THEIR POSITION EAPUsEB.

The Sacramento Union in its issue OF
Saturday last says, ahat if tnoue eh Repub-
lcans shall he elected to 20 iuso caucus 70.
United States Senator, lLoy will of course
Immediately unite with the Independents
"nd Tax Payers; otherwise, that Hey will
20 with the Gorham- Gar. Railroad crowd
thus exposing Tie deception ard presenting
in e|earest terms the only question in the
canvass Gorlmm and the Railroad, or the
Independents and Tax Paycrs-'hat there
will he no other caucus ,llnn that of one OF
the other Of these parties, and no other place
to 90 10, and that all vi ho are not 90 II. Will
the Independents and Tax Payers, are going
ON The railroad train. From this he co,l-
eluson is irresistible, that the Ring Ticket
in this county is ii Goiham- Railroad ticket
and fraud upon the people in any event,
all lying, cursing and swearing 10 the con-
'rary Notwithstanding, for nothing on earl,
or within human reach can overcome this
plain fact; that that ticket stands opposed
TO every independent voter in the county G
Placer, in his efforts against the Railroad
Company.

NAIL THEM AGAIN.

We are occasionally called upon by duty
to ourselves, ito our candidates, and to the
great cause IF restitution and reform in which
we feel ploud in devo'ing our time, oW
means and our aLiliiy'to maintain, TO expose
few Larefaced lies, henped upon rs, our
candidates or our cause 10y an unprncipled
ppositon, whose only hope of success de-
pends Oh misrepresentation Of facts. In
regar TO our Candidates, the Argus asserts
that there-is not one Republican on The whole
ticket. In the cause we are fighting itmakes
no difference whether they have all been
Democrats or all Republicans, so lon5 as
they are men known 10 be peri; city ueliaLle
on Hl'e pending issues. which they are, and
the Argas does not and dare not attempt to
deny it. But they are not nor have been ali
one'or ale'osl'er; but like their supporters,
might be expected in . greatrciorm move
ment like this they are from both The old
part es-a fair proportion of each. ID. II.
Long is, has been, and yet declares the Ut
most confidence in the true principles Of Re-
puL'cunism; bat mcdem Republicansm, in
auenced hy monopolies, sue! as that of PlA.
Ger county, lie denounces as worse than an
archy, and he is right in doing so. VIC.
Norton is, also, and for long years has been
Republican. That berwas a Democrat ny
TO 1867, is false, and The argus editor
knew so whenhe pinned il. Mr.. Morton
thinks as much of Rerublicanism in lis rur-
ity to-day ashe ever did, and claims that
the principles on which the Independer tGgl
are based are the very essence of Reputli-
canism in its purity, 20 far as regards our
local issues. 10 til: be t of our knowl ledge
we never knew that G. S. Van Emon was
or ever had teen any thing else than Re
publican, and because lie has been one Of the
good and true ones, lie has been selected as
Il suitable candidate for county honors aud
trust on the reform ticket. As for Mr.. G..
j. Brown, in the same article that the Argus
asst rts there is not Republican on the
ticket, it acknowledges that lie has recently
cast his lot with ys. But, as our CORES
pondent says, the Argus editor has taken
back, while at Dutch d'lat. what he said Of
Mr.. Brown, and is to retract in this week s
paper. That is sufficient. We will say to
The argus in conclusion that it had better,
try apd. stick to tie truth, tor, though you
ART on the wrong side, ard have bad
cause to contend for, it will only tend to
make it worse by persisting in fasehoods
that all know are fa.se.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

Every cne Of our readers will admit tlt
fact that the Senatorial contest has nothing
to do in our present local fight, further than
this: That siuce there il q United States
Senator to bc elected hy the next Legisla
ture, and since the fight is eonst 81 betwetr
the people and mopopo)ies, it becomes
essential that our Legislative candidates
should be men whom VIC can rely on tt
carry out the same principles in voting for
United STATS Senator, that they are elected
on by the people. Our candidates arc
pledged 10 tic support of the people, and
against monopoly or oppression in any 'o::"'
and we are satisfied they have the principles
of those pledges at heart, and will cai;.y
them out, and that is and ought 10 be
enough. AS ftr pledging them to any par
ticular candidate, is absurd, and would
show weakness in the move and II lack Of
confidence in The candidstes. Booth is a
prominent candidate. he, az shown from HE
very able speech in San Francisco. last week.
is with us in our'eilors for independence and
freedom from tle tyranny we have suffered,
heart and soul, and such efforts for a noble
cause as lie rendered On that occasion, must
resultin bringing the people near TO Linn.
Booth undoubtedly at present is the cl dice
Of our candidates, and decided ma ajoriy
of their constituents. Booh will lie can
didaie before the Independent or Tax Payer
caucus, of which our candidates if elected
will he members, and, Judging from 'Ireselri
Indications, lie viii certainly lie the Independ
ent caucus nominee, and we believe i,herc
will he Tax Payers and Independent, voters
enough in joint ballot 10 elect him. This If
lie way the matter stands with us AT pres
ent. Let Booths friends see 10 it that the
Independent ticket is elected, and Booll
viii he all right, ior,tlat is ,liislicket. Bul
suprose ihei Republican Ticket should 1t
elected, how can they assist in elecine
Rooh lie will rot lie their candidate, he
has denounced them in deserving terms; and
that they should keep preaching ~ Booth
ard anl-monoroly is the most ridiculous
thing ever known in rolilcf-a dodge for
effect tha, all understand.

PAP SUCKERS.

and is determined to keep it if possible.
O.'W. Holleubeck, has only been dipping
out and pouring in the Shiny milk Of The
county, for six ~'sl,ort years, and to deprive
him of such handsome and agreeable posi-
tisn would really reeem shame. B. +.
Burt has only had the office Of Clerk two
years. He was adopted into the ring at once
on stepping into his position, hut, personally

mysterious councils of these designing men.
But at last lie fell. A convention was
about to come eff. They had job that
none could do so well as he. II he did it he

WHAT THE PEOPLE OBJECT TO.

The Central Pacific Railroad Company,

tortionate exactions, cxlorbitant charges, ,un-

q invoked the public Indignation. Now, no
= one objects to the compaiys using their mon-
!, ey like, any one else in their own waypin a

CLEAR as ouNsHiNL. Hon. Henry Long,
Of Bath, the only Republican Assemblyman
in the last Legislature from tl's county, who
WAS true to hs pledges, and who has been
slued by the so-called Rern bliean party IN
this county because he was true TO what he
had promised, acted as vice President of the
Independent meeting at Forest Hill on the
= 10Th inss. Our correspondent Gays Mr..
Long came forward with spirit indicative
Of The man, and showed by every move that
his proud and noLle mind was yet free and
f, imbuedi with independence. None under.
stand the condition of off irs better than Mr..
Long. None have proven truer to the peo-
pie than he; and when such men leave the
rotten hulk of Republicanism in Placer
county, the fact should lie as clear as sun
light 70 the most obtuse miud that Republi-
canisn in this county will not dc to trust.
