OfaciaI Paper of Placer County
ACCIVNS SPEAK LUUDLK IHAN WUhDs.

We asked the argus a few questions il
our issue of the 31st ult., and under til,
caption of "Our Position, 1T w,iggles through
whole column, leaving scarcely a gimme,
Of its tail. Indirectly, the answer censures
and condemns the Republican representative,
from this county, and may have as well said
our Senators, Messrs. Bradley. Tweed and
Nef, and Representatives Waldron, Tuttle.
Spencer, Cslderwood, Power, Welty, Lee
and Long, whom we Republicans honored
with seats in The Legislature, you sat in your
seats, drew your pay, and only answered
yea and nay when your names were
called. We are done with your kind, and
this year we, the Areus, "want men sent
who are capable and honest, and have the
ability and understanding to make themselves
heard upon any matter of interest that may
come before the Legislature affecting, no'
only Placer county, but the whcle State. !"
But the A,gus and these gentlemen whom
It indirectly says lack al these virtues and
abilities must settle these matters between
themselves, sthey were then links Of the
same sausage. But the Argus says, we
want men that will reduce the rates of fares
and freighis (all these old represen tatives
were sent under just such 'hstructions). How
'nuci, would you have them reduced. the
fraction of mill or two-thirds of the present
rates? But why talk Of this when the argus
itself has just told us that all the men the
railroadized Republican party Of Placer has
sent to the Legislature has lacked the will
r and ability to do anything Of the k nd, and
have you the unparalleled mpudence to ask
the peopleto vote for the men your ring
would again nominate? Bat tie Argus
wants the Contract and Finance Company s
stealings investigated. Why then did the
argus columns teem with puffs and defens-
es Of Page last Fall, to the exclusion Of near
" everything else, and its editor 60 and
work all day at the polls 70 him, when Stan
ford had ordered every man TO be crushed

ous that he was to he sent to Congress TO stoI
and oppose this very Contract and Finance
investigation Tell this to the Indians: your
acts give your words fat contradiction.
Ostrich like, your head may be buried Ill
the sand, but your whole body is exposed
to public view But we are for Booth, say s
! the argus man. Who can believe you, whel
Booth left the State TO keep from supporting
Page, while you were doing your very dirty
best for him. But Booth has boled youl
party, has by his friends repudiaIed your or
.ganization, and his name will not be present
ed for Senator in the legislative caucus where
your members will GO. if your party cleo
any. Every Booth Republican knows, O.
ought to know, that any vote he casts for !
nominee for the Legislature of rai'roadize'
Republican Convention, will co for Corham
and. chat the only way lie can aid Booth, /
to vote for candidates who will pledge them
selves not TO 60 into a Republican caucus
The cooperative proposition brings
mind what an old Republican said to us tn
other day. Said he, referring to the Cour

that has one of the old dirty cards in it.
There is danger of catching some of the rim
diseases, such as Mober, back salary, per

you have denounced as unworthy all you
old Senators and Assemblymen, and that al
ter they had made the big fees for the pres
