Platform Of the MonopoiIsts.

We have shown that the Van
couver Convention, nominally
Democratic, was organized sim
ply and solely in the interest Of
chartered monopollsts, and that
it's democratic pretenslons are
false and fraudulent. OF this,
the personel of the Convention
afforded abundant proof, but the
platform is conclusive. The first
plank in that platform is:
"That we are unalterably op-
posed to a dismcmberment Of
the Territory, and are in favor
of a State government at the
earliest moment our population
and wealth will justify the
same"
If this means any thing, it
means unalterable opposition to
the admission Of the State into
the Union upon the Constitution
now presented for popular ratifi-
cation. 1t is identically the po-
sition of every organ Of the mo-
nopolists which has expressed
opposition to those provisions Of
the Constitution which limits
the special privileges and powers
Of corporate monopoly. The
authors of this expression dare
not make an open issue before
the people, in favor of corporate
privileges against popular rights,
but seek the same end by delay
and evasion; else why not an
open avowal of position upon the
simple question presented to the
people at the pending election,
whether they will opprove or
reject the Constitution prepared
under their authority by dele
gates of their own election. No
instrument or advocate of spe-
cial privileges dares to declare
opposition to estate government
at the earliest moment our pop
ulation and wealth will justify
the same" but every one of them
is deadly hostile to State gov
crnment upon the Constitution
presented, and hence thls plank
, 1878-09-14

of the platform, like the balance
Of the same instrument, suits all
such exactly.
The second plank Of the plat
form IS a more clear and emphat-
ic declaration in favor of corpo-
rate monopoly, as follows:
"That we are unquallfiedly in
favor of the extension Of time
for the completion Of the main
line and branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and that we re-
cognize as enemies of the pros
perity Of our people all whe op-
pose such extension"
This is properly construed and
emphatically endorsed by the
organs Of the monopolists, as in
direct opposition to, and repudi-
alton of "thc Mitchell-Jacobs
policy" and as such we are
bound to accept it. Both the
gentlemen denounced, as is well
known, labored as earnestly for
the success of a bill for the ex-
tension of time for the compile
tion of the railroad as any men
in or out of Congress; and that
their efforts were defeated in the
interest of monopoly and land
speculation, the records clearly
prove. All that Mitchell and
Jacobs sought was to protect
the rights Of the people against
such rascaily combinations as
were formed by Directors to
turn the Government subsidy to
account in their own personal
account, which all know was the
cause of the bankruptcy of the
old company. They proposed
to appropriate the proceeds of
the sales of the public lands to
the construction of the railroad,
instead Of turning the lands over
to the managers for speculation.
That is all.

Nash-in both of which he is far
superior to Caton-we are bound
to say that he no more repre-
sents the popular sentiment Of

assumed to act than does Frank
Clark, who was permitted to
act for another county in which
he had no residence. Col. Nash
is an old law partner and warn.
personal friend of Mr.. Cation, and
for the past year or more he has
been an outspoken and pronoun-
ced friend Of the N. P. railroad
and advocate of the interests of
Tacoma in opposition to those
of Seattle. No man upon our
streets has more persistently rid
iculcd the pretensions and dis
paraged the efforts of this town
to maintain its commercial su-
premacy. Many months ago he
closed his law Office in this place
with a view Of removing to Ia
coma whenever the growth Of
that town would appear to war
rant it, and his practice since
has been peripatetic and divided
between the two towns. There
has been nothing underhanded
in the Colonel's action; he acted
IN the convention just as he talk
ed, and his vote for Cation and
his resolution to surrender a
large portion of our territory un-
conditionally, to be held in per-
petuity by a corporate monopoly
is exactly why he sought and
obtained his position in the con-
vention, and the delegates who
came with Cation and proxies, on
passes furnished by DR.. Baker
and the o. S. N. Co., were man
ifestly there for the same pur-
pose, But the question is: BY
what authority do they claim to
bind the people to their bargain?
Judge Jacobs sought to aid the
railroad by appropriating the
proceeds OF the public lands to
that purpose; Cation 4 Nash
would give the land to the rail
road managers for monopoly
and speculation, as heretofore.

The Oregonian, the openly
avowed organ of the o. S. N.
Co. and the n. 2. r. r. Co., and
the uniform advocate of corpo-
rate power against the rights Of
the people, raises its pean over
the triumph of its cause in the
so-called Democratic Convention,
as follows:
We have no doubt that the reso
luton adopted by the Democratic
Territorial Convention at Vancouver
relative to the Northern Pacific
Railroad fairly expresses the views
of a vast majority of the people of
Washington Territory. irrespective
of party. The policy of the resolu :
ton is in direct opposition to the
course which delegate Jacobs has
pursued. If the Republican Con-
vention do not pledge its candidate
in favor of railroad as strongly and
unequiyocally as the Democratic
Convention has done, he will have
small chance of an election. Wash
ington will repudiate the Mitchell>
Jacobs policy as signally as Oregon
has done.
The special organ Of the Ia
coma Land Ring, announces in
display letters, under its tele-
graphic head, the result of the
Convention:
IN. T. CATION FOR CONGRESS-
+" Satisfactory ertension resolutions
passed :"
Both of the papers above quo
ted from are edited by professed
Republicans, and their notes OF
triumph at the action OF De-
mocratlc convention have sig
niticance that does not belong to
party politics; that so far as that
Convention had the power to do
it, the people Of this Territory,
and the Democratic party cspe-
cially, have been sold to the
railroad monopoly and the river
monopoly, Internationally, with
out any reservation of rights
whatever. And when we con-
sidtr the manner in which that
Convention was packed and or
ganized, we could not expect any
other result. OF the 40 votes
cast IN convention only 10 dele
gates held seats in that body
under the authority of any pop
ular constituency, and those did
not have the endorsement Of one
tenth of the people whom they
assumed TO represent. The lead
ing spirit of the Convention was

small mass meeting held in this
city, Col. Nash was elected as
one of eight delegates from this
county. Under no other legiti-
mate authority, the Convention
assigned him four votes from
this county and the full repre-
sentation of Island and Snoho-

Every body who knows any
thing of the matter, knows that
. we are a Democrat of the strict

cts and usages Of the party
bearing that name in the days
when it dominated and directed
the policy of the country, and
no man can point to a single in
stance or incident where we
have deviated from the doctrines
of the Democratic party as de-
ivered to US by its progenitors;
rwho can name the man who
as sacrificed more or suffered
lore in defence of Democratic
lciples. It is true that more
l eight years ago we eman-
tied ourself from party serf-
upon the adoption in party
vention Of a principle repul
to our sense of public obi

on of the national debt-which
Democrat at the present day
are publicly ahirm; but we had
thought in discovering our
ty ties with one that we
eby became the subject Of
G, ,lher. It was simply a de-
cid ton of independence OF
pa y to which every citizen is
entitled and no man h;s a right
to question. From that day to
the present we have taken no

THE CHARGE RE-AssERTED.


From the virginia FootllghtI
One of the editors of the Enterprise
Judge Gocdwin) endeavors to convince
the people Of our State that, because he
than any miner or mechanic in town." the
journal with which he is connected is not
the organ Of the monopolies and rich cor
porations. And for further proof he re-
f RS to the fact that he himself is 'sas poor
as anybody" This argument simply begs
the question, and fails most decidedly to
disprove the charge made that the Nepub-
lican party Of Nevada represents the shod-
DIV aristocracy of the State. No one for a
moment ever supposed that the Bonanza
firm wrote the many able articles which
have daily appeared in the Enterprise for a
long tire. Not they. They can do better.
They can use the brains of poor men to o
much better purpose. 1t is the practice
of rich corporations when they have a good
man in their employ to keep him poor if
possible, and the able writer referred to
will find that his case will be no excep-
ton to the rule. They never permit a
man who serves them well to become rich.
How long could they retain in thcr employ
the writer Of the a~iticle from which we
quote, If he possessel five hundred shares
OF Sierra Nevada stock. We desire to here
say LOT the DeDeut OF tnc CO.
itor Of the Enterprise that we believe him
to be as good a friend to the deserving
poor as ever used a pen, that his heart is
Overlooking with the milk Of human kind
ness, and that in his inmost heart he as
thoroughly despises pretentious shoddy as
any man living. This, however, is not to
the point. Because a conductor OF a
railroad is a good and able man,
ought that fact to remove the odium
which attaches to the railroad ON
pany because Of excessive high
fares aud extortionate freight charges?
We answer no. And because the hard
worked writer Of the Enterprise does all,
and is all, that he claims. that fact does
not disprove the charge that the Bonanza
Republican party and journals throughout
the State, advocate tie interests Of monop-
olies and rich corporations against the in
forests of the people. We therefore re-
assert the charge just named, and chal-
lenge proof to the contrary. They have
charged that he took with him to the cap
ital 'sthe ways of the vaquero and the odor
Of the corral What party organ would
make these charges if it was not the ex-
poncnt and advocate Of aristocracy?

A shooting affray occurred this evening

Hurlado shot and instantly killed Jack
Denny, who was released q few weeks ago
from the State prison, where he had been
ent for robbery, and Hurlado also shot
his brother Peter through the right Shout

Of some sixty odd dollars, which the three
had won Of a countryman last night.
Hurlado began the shooting, but is con-
sidered justified from the threatening
manner Of the others, who said il he did
not divide he should not leave the saloon /;
they also previously threatened to kill
him. Peters wound is probably fatal.

Rescue.


Iron the Austin "Reveille' of the 2d.l
A private letter from 3 friend in Virginia
City, in reference to THE Rere'ue,s
course towards r.. M. Daggett, says mo
doubt all You have said is true. George
A. King made his boast on the street a lew
days ago that Daggett was their man
meaning the B~onanza's. He said Daggett
could have SIS. 900 or $40, 900 from the Ne
vada Bank TO carry on the canvass, II he
wanted it,, and offered to bet So, ZOO that
he (Daggett) would be elected. Miles
Finlan offered to take the bet, but King
backed down.
Our correspondent, who is one OF the
staunchest Republicans in the State, says
further: "You publish an independent
paper, and owe a duty to the public; you
are also a Republican. The question pre-
sented to you is: Is it better Tor you 10
oppose the acts of a corrupt and soulless
corporation in its interference IN the affairs
of the Republican party and aid IN the de-
feat Of its tools, nominsted for Office through
its corru1t interference, and thus destroy
its power for mischief in the future, or,
for the sake of harmony in the party and
the election of a Republican instead OF a
Democrat to Congress, to forego your OPP
position and aid by your silence, if not
your advocacy, to such men as Daggett
and Mighels to an electionY One thing
about your course is, that it is liable to
start some well-meaning Republicans, I'M
acquainted with the true inwardness of
the case, into an active support of Daggett
at the expense of the rest of the ticket"
The writer of the letter from which the
above extracts arc taken had probably no
expectation of seeing any part OF it, or the
sentiments it contains, in print but as it
presents sqHarely the issue on which the
Rerelie must take sides, we take liberties
with it. The question is fairly stated, and
in answer to it we say that We prefer to OPP
pose the aggressions of a corrupt moneycd
power to winking at them for the sake Of
harmony in the Republican party and to
secure the election Of a Republican to
Congress. That is all there is to it. We
think we are right, and if our friends don't
like it we are sorry, but can't help it.
