WEDNESDAY,, MAY IA, 1879.
Next August will witness one Of
the liveliest campaigns ever held in
Mason county.
The new Constitution of Califor-
MIA has been adopted by 10000 ma
jOrity.
Republicans denounce everything
as revolutionary which Gusts them
from Office.
Ifthe Republicans succeedintrans.
ferring the negroes from the South to
the North what will they do for an
outrage MILF
The Greenback craze is about dy.
ing out in this place. Democrats
are beginning to see through the
trick.
The anxious interest taken by the
bloody shirts papers, in the union or
disdnion ofthe Democrats and Green
hackers, is perfectly distressing.
Importing negroes to vote the Re.
publican ticket and driving Demo.
Gratis from the polls at the point of
the bayonet, is the stalwart idea Of
"pure elections
The "bloody shirt" is to be the
battle-cry of Republicans in the
coming elections. Fair-minded men
of all parties, do you not weary Of
that wall?
The correspondents of the League,
from this place, seem to delight in
throwing dirt. They are informed
if they persist in the course they are
now pursuing, we'll try our hand
too.
The new Constitution of Califor-
mia, adopted last Wednesday, pro-
vides that no "Judge can draw his
monthly salary until he has taken
an oath that no cause remains in his
Court undecided which has been sub.
mitted for decision during period of
ninety days" This would be a good
clause to have inserted in the Con-
stitution Of this State, as it might
put stop,to the unreasonable delay,
people are subjected to in getting, de.
5cisions upon cases submitted to our
Judges.
Fred Douglas, Marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia, is probably the
ablest and best informed colored man
in the country. He is earnest and
active.in opposition to the exodus of
his race from the South and gives ex-
cellent reasons for so doing. On the
other hand, Mr.. Blaine endorses and
encourages this move. Douglas is a
real friend to the negroes and puts
their interests above party consider
alton, while Blaine cares for them
only as they can be put to use in ad-
vancing the interests of the Republi-
can party, and the qualification Of
his own inordinate ambition.
How do the Greenbackers like
".Parlor President Gibbons, Of the
Monitor? When man accepts the
position Of President Of meeting,
he does it under one of two condi-
tions, either he favors the principles
and objects of the meeting, or else he
practices fraud in getting himself
placed in such a position. Gibbons
accepted the position of President of
the Greenback meeting in the "back
parlor," but publicly disclaims any
utilization with their principles. So
of course he practiced fraud on the
meeting, just what we have been
telling the Greenbackers the Repub-
licans would do with them upon all
occasions.
The New York World says: 1.-THE
Presidents veto opens the way, wide
and clear, to popular Democratic
victoryin 1880. The principle con-
tended for by Congress should be pre-.
sented to the president again at once
in form which shall leave him no
