After another tune by the band. Col.
Mills introduced General Clarke Of Car
son, who addressed the asssmblags for
half an bour or so. Ho is a pretty good

declared that Sharon is not q legal voter
or citizen OF this State, yet omitted to
prove il, or show how he knew 1t TO be
80. He stated that taxation was uns-
quail, and that individuals and the people
generally were taxed ten times as much
y. the mines are, yet omitted 10 state
that nine-tsnths OF the people here pay
no taxes at all. and that il is the mines,
and net propsrty-holdsr dependent
upon the success and prosperity OF the
mines, which have paid the srsa, debt
OF the Stat. and placed the Treasury in
its present afflusnt condition. He
neglected to say that it was the great
Crown Point and Belchsr ors-body, dis

tributsd toward this comfortable state Of
affairs. He stultiied himself in dsclar.
ing that Sharon, being a resident Of San
Francisco. had his greatest interests
there. and not in this State, yet blindly
went on to represent Sharon n monop-
olizing the mining. railroad. wood. lnm-
Der and other great interests Of this
State. and trying to induce the thousands
OF man in his employ to vote for him
for United States Senator. He said the
only way to rstsrm the Republican party
was to 10 it at the polls, by voting the
independent ticket, but omitted to men,

A better behaved audience those two
speakers never addressed. Both abused
and vilifsd Sharon as the worst enemy
to the interests of this County, to the
utmost Of their vitupsrativs ability.

Both did their best to induce people
to vote against Sharon. y~sttotally forgot
