IONESVILLE.
A DOwney Farmer Gives His Opinion
of Humbug Speculation.

EDITOR HERALD: Having just fin
ished reading the account Of the sale
of lots in the future great Getty by
the sea,n Santa Monica, L hardly
know which feeling it produced in the
greatest degree-astonishment or in
dignation. Astonishment at the eX-
cessive credulity or gullibility of so
many, who, by squandering their
means ON the barren, wind swept
heights of Santa Monica or Jonesville,
offer a rich bonus to the most stupen-
dous humbug in Southern California,
and indignant at the merciless, un-
sparIng swindle that is in this act be-
ing perpetrated on the unwary and
too confiding stranger. 1t would res
dound vastly more to the present and
future interests of our State, il the at
tention of immigrants and those seek
ing profitable investments in South
ern California were directed to the
fertile plains of our own rich and
beautiful Los Nietos. The sight that
would greet the eyes just now, if they
would DuC look upon our DeauCllul
fields Of green corn or our polite po-
tato fields, would be one that would
do more to attach them to our South
ern homes and give confidence as to
our future development than any
other one means employed by the cap
italists for their own advantage or the
future welfare of Southern California.
Let the home-seeker or capitalist just
extend his researches to Downey City
and vicinity, and if he does not see
much to command his admiration and
to induce investment, then his judg-
ment is entirely at variance with that
of the undersigned, who has spent
several years in Southern California,
but who has failed to read the bright
future of the city by the sea.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-25

all of us who were cognizant of the
facts in relation to your attempted
monopoly of Chico creek, to witness
the duplicity of your defence by shift
ing the charge to the waters of Butte
| creek. That stream does not approach
your ranch within five or six miles ;
and you know perfectly well that you
practiced but stupid subterfuge in
trying in that manner to evade the
charge. Now, Sir, 1 repeat the charge,
and l ask you whether or not you did
not serve upon the President of the
Flume Company the notice above al
luded to; and, further, if the writer of
this letter was not himself the Presi-
dent? Try again.
PLATFORM VS.. PRACTICE.
Let US now compare your platform
with your practices. Here is the first
resolution in the platform of the
Independent Convention: "Resolred,
That the Peoples Independent Party
seeks to unite together the honest and
law-abiding citizens of all portions of
California, irrespective of class, local or
of religious or previous political opin-
ions, for the purpose of Sc
curing from the power or possibility
of monopoly, the natural water Of the
rivers, streams and lakes of the State,
and revesting them once more in the
people. u 1t being cardinal
principal with the Peoples Independ-
ent Party that the fresh water of the
rivers and lakes of the State, as we'll
as the rains that descend from the
clouds, belong of right to the whole
people, and that any ownership or
monopoly of it by any corporation or
person, beyond what they shall put to
some beneficial use, is a aOrong to the
entire community
Now, General, how can you go to
bed with that resolution as consort?
How can Demagogism "connubiate I"
with Monopoly? But believe me,
John Bidwell, should not attempt to
expose your Inconsistencies or to op-
pose your candidacy, were I not con-
vinced that all your new fledged en-
thusiasm for "independence" of party,
is but the reflex of disappointed ambi-
tion and the modification of defeat.
AOuA OPPOoAUiOl W VAAC lCS uldl Cduul"
date of the Republican party has no
higher motive than revenge and the
hate of a successful rival. AS you
cannot "rule," you have resolved to
"ruin." You are animated by the
same spirit which distinguished Satan
the spirit of devil.
YOU SENT BAILEY AND OTHERS
down to the Republican Convention
to secure your nomination, if possi-
BILE. Flittle believed that you could turn
traitor to your political opinions with
such precipitation and betray your
friends with such sang .troid.
But permit me to inform you that
the present canvass will be the last of
John Bidwell. You will resemble
Washington in one particular-you
will go back to your plOw; Arnold in
another-you have betrayed your coun-
try; and Judas Iscariotin third--the
consolation of knowing that you have
gained nothing by your recreancy to
principle, except the detestation of
mankind. ISAAC ALLEN.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-25

Our edition of weeklies was ex-
hausted yesterday by o'clock in the
morning, though we had printed an
extra supply. The HERALD is recog-
nized generally as the fearless, in
dependent organ of the people, as
against monopolists and land sharks.
Our citizens recognize this fact and
send it to their friends as the fairest
and best paper for intending immi-
grants. Our presses are kept running
day and night to supply the demand
for the HERALD, and our editions are
sent through the mails to all parts of
Europe, as well as this country. Yer
ily, fearless advocacy of the peoples
rights has paid the HERALDa hundred
fold more than the loss from the mo-
nopolists.

from the same platform; the curren-
cy as it is and a protective tariff:
1t is remarkable specimen of polit-
ical doublefacedness, and is worthy
a Ramsey convention, and worthy
that PatyouSalut Of all the miserable
spawn of ofice-seeking wire-pullers,
who never failed to secure lust
enough votes, every time until last
winter, to secure himself a place in
the Senate, promptly rewarded ev-
cry one who voted for him with an
Office or fat place, and never got
caught in hen roost. He is a sly
old fox and the platform is as foxy
as the Red Wing Boat Club has
proved itself.

and knows all about the platform
and the design of the friends of
Ramsey and of the Pi-Pyess in
adopting these "glittering generali-
ties" to arise and explain, which in
the issue of July 29th it proceeds to
do as follows:
The platform is only $3.50. It has
too much partisan self-laudation and
too little healthy criticism of prevailing
abuses within the party. It is the
same old party tune Of monotonous &C.
quiescence in everything the party does.
Its financial plank is feeble and timor-
Gus. On the whole the Democratic par
ty gave US the better platform, and the
Republican party the better candidates.
