III EVIDENT MISTAKE.

In the San Francisco Chronicle Of
Monday, February Sd, 1872 under the
caption Of "The Next Campaign" is an
able and exhaustive review OF the Politi-
cal Field, its present aspec. aud future
prospects. Referring to the probable
candidates of the Workingmen's (Kcar-
ney) Party, the Chronicle says: Henry
Larkin, OF FL Dorado, and w. c. Tinnin,
of Trinity, have also been hinted at for
She Governorslip in connection with the
same party" OF course Hon. W. J.
Tinnin of Trinity is the party referred to
and we are surprised that the sedate and
usually reliable Ch1 onicic should so far
wander as to connect this gentleman's S
name with the Worlcingmen' organiza-
ton. Does not the Chronicle well know
that Mr.. Tinnin to-day occupies the posi-
ton of Delegate at-large to the Constitu
tional Convention solely 5y reason OF his
avowed AMI pronounced opposition to
that organization, he having been elected
upon the non-partisan ticket, the incep-
ton and success of which was due alone
to such opposition Isnot the ChroRicle
aware of the undeniabe fact that Mr.
Tinnin i. life long and consistent Dem
ccrat who cannot be forced into office
upon any thing bat stTSight Demo-
cratio platform Has the Chronicle
forgotten that plank in the Working
mems Platform which pronounces en-
phsticaily against the nomination Of
profess ional Office seekers and active
politicians? Is the Chronicle so totally
ignorant Of the record Of this hintcd at
nominee for Goyeraor that it docs not
know lie has been candidate at every
election from and including 1871 to the
present time?
a the duly accredited mouth piece Of
Denis kearney, the Chyoatcle should
know these things and We take pleasure
in furnishing the information to our es-
teemcd cotemporary. Yet there are cx-
cuses for the Chronicles apparent igno-
rance. II evidently remembers the open
ing scene OF the Constitutional Convcn-
ton when Mr.. Tinnin received the imam
imous support Of the Kearncy Delegates
for President Of that body, and has there
BY been mislcl into the belief that that
gentleman was member Of the work.
ingman's Party. We are assured that
tlis is all mistake and the support OF
that clement in the Convention was very
much of surprise TO the Honorable
gentleman. Iio coull not keep them
from voting for him. No, 10, M.
chronicle, yon are mistaken you have
been imposed upon it mat have been
some other gentleman from some other
county who has been hintcd at for some
other position. Willie the gentleman
from Trinity might in moments OF alb
stracion, allow his ambition to soar aloft
even to tho hight Of tho Gubornatorial
Chair, We feel satisfied TINT he never far
a moment entertained the idea Of reach
ing that lar-oh' goal by any other than
4 straight Democratic course. By sue.
costing hi; name even MS possible can
didate Of any other party, worthy citi-
zen Of Trinity county has been mcosurea-
bly, misrcpresentod and the JSUENAL
feels it Il dIty to veniiate the matter and
have our honored representative placed
squnrcly on the record. Should the
Chronicic upon investigation find the
facts to be as above set forth, we humby
bescech it TO maka tho necessary cor
rcction and a suitable apology. If, how.
ever, on the other Land, the JOURNAL
has been misled hy it Ger wooning CON
lidence in human nature and has uain-
tentionally mis- stated the case, we will
choerfCly make any roparation in Our
power and do all we can to set the matter
right. TO this end our columns will
ever remain open to ali whom it may
concern.
