A Q "A r D.

Under the title of "A Mistake" an article
appeared in the Leader of November 10Th,
which should be answered, i'll justice to the
workingmen of California. The first part of
the article reads well. and to a casual observer
appears to side with the Workingmen But 1t
ends up in the most popular Republican style,
with inslnuations which we Will endravor 10
resent in answer, for the reason that all Work.
ingnen should sympathize with each other;
not only sympathiZe, but band I lgether for
mutual protection against the encroachments
OF INSCRIPTIONS monopolies. The article re-
ferred 10, alter speaking of the determined Cp-
position manifested to seating of the officers
elected by the Workingmen of San Francisco.
goes on to state These men were fairly
elected. and even If they are as bad and inconpe-
tent as their enemies endeayor to make them out,
no attempt should be made to deprive them of
their positions by foolish techniealities. just
so long as such a course Is pursued the Work
ingmen's party will be q power, not only i'll San
Francisco, but ia the State Of California"
Workingmen will please notice this. and take
its true meaning. Who are the enemies Of the
Workinglnenf Who bring the charges of igno-
rance and incoInpeteaey They are Republi-
cans. Democrats and II. BIS. but As long as
their charges are based upon :" foolish techni-
calitiess' we agree with the Leader, that the
common sense view the people will take OF the
situation Will make the W. p. G. g power. The
Republican Central COMMITTEE OF California
she uld tender this OF the Leader q vote Of
thanks for this timely hint. that IL is dangerous
to their interests to spring :" foolish technical
lties upon these ignorant workiaSmen. Agais,
in the language Of our dictator, THAT party IL
an Heterogeneous mass OF conflicting elements
that can never stand success; they promise too
much, aud are not sincere in their promises "
1t Is very singular that this important feature
was not discovered when these elements were
members of the Democratic and Republican
parties respectively. The Workingmen's party
is composed OF the independent thinkers Of
both old parties. Their officers make no more
promises than either Democratic or Republican
candidates. and for truth and veracity they will
bear comparison with candidates OF any party.
The idea sought to be conveyed by hired tools
Of m~onopolies, that because q voter does not
choose TO wallow along in the filthy slime OF
the so-called Democracy, or accede TO the de-
mands OF those In the interest Of vile Republ-
CAN schemes. gotten up to rob the people and
degrade labor. that he must necessarily be ig-
norant and incompetent Is absurd. These same
~vtiihers. represented by such organs as the one
referred to, are always ready and willing to de-
grade their race. The assertion that Working
men are insincere, and cannot stand success, IL
premature. They havnt proven 1t either. not
having held many offices. To accuse Working.
men OF insincerity, comes with d bad race
from q Republican or Democratic standpoint.
M witness the pledges and actions OF our last
selves, before you presume to c~riticise ours.
Trot out your pledge makers of Eureka county;
tell rs Of your Doolin in the senate, and your
worthless In the Assembly.
30 much for the Leader and its covert designs
against the Workingmtn We will always be
glad TO answer all arguments brought against
us, and without fear. for we have justice and
right on our side. [n20l COMMITTEE.
