Fcllo,c- Citizens:
Urged b. numerous friends, AMI
feeling in common with very many of
my countrymen, that the late primary
election MAS a farce, | hereby an
nounce myself All independent candi-
date to represent you in the lower
branch Of our next State Legislature.
All primary elections, when many
candidates are voted for, are of course
no evidence that the individual receiv-
ing the plurality vote is the choice of
Il majority even of his own party !;
And it opens wide the door by which
the weakest man or most unpopular
measure may be foisted upon the peo-
pie of the county, especially, since
fewer voters in the rural districts take
part in such elections. If only two or
three candidates arc before the people,
primary elections might bear the sem
blance Of fairness. But even then, a
plurality vote upon a local question,
obnoxious to the sentiments and in
terests of the masses, might be forced
upon US, and the greater the number
OF candidates the more danger. Your
attention is directed to the vote in the
late primary election. Humboldt
with her since ure court and unneces>
sary and expensive offices cast nearly
one-third the entire primary vote, and
Col. Day, the so-called nominee, re-
ceived more votes than the Democrat
ic party ever polled in that place even
in the most holly contested election,
when the most vital question to her
citizens was 1T stake. 1t also places it
in the power of our adversaries to
nominate the weakest man and defeat
him on account of the unpopularity of
the man or the measurse he advocates.

the present payment of either interest

inability of the people to bear even

our taxes to the very lowest figures

State, leaving to a more suspicious
day the payment of our bonded debt
