THE PEOPLE STIRRING.
servant

We hear it rumored that the masses of the
people of Storey County, the consumers
whose pockets are made to suffer in order that
the Virginia and Truckee Railroad may pile
up fresh millions of profits, contemplate a
grand demonstration, not only in their own
streets but within and about the Capital
Such things are not without precedent.
Earnest men, many time in the history OF
this country, have formed themselves in ranks
and marched with banners flying and drums
beating and battle cries upon their lips to &C
complish desired and desirable end.
movement has been set on foot in Carson
by the emissaries of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad to have the Legislature memoralized
in their behalf.
Let the people who have the true interests
of Ormsby County at heart-the business men
and rank andile of the people of Carson and
Empire, unite in a respectful prayer to the
Legislature to pass the WOODBURY. bill.
LOOK AT YOUR REASONS.
We warn the people of Ormsby County, by
whose money the construction of the first pay
ing division of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad was made possible, that if the pres
ent Legislature does not pass bill reducing
freights and fares, the Mound House branch
will be built. When it is built, good bye to
every stage coach and prairie schooner, every
wagon makers shop, every smithy and every
corral in the county
NARROW GAUGE TO THE TRUCKER.
Not for any curtailing of the profits going
to swell the vast riches of Mills and Company,
but for the hurt that it will cause to Carson
do we look with apprehension upon the pro-
ject to build narrow gauge railroad from
Virginia to the Truckee We hare the reyy
best reasons for believing that such road ,ciH
be built # the "Loca" roads are not compelled
by statwte to reduce their rates Of treights.
PUBIC MEETING.
We believe that it is essential that
our citizens should come together in
mass meeting to consider what is best to be
done under the circumstances. The feeling
in favor of remedial legislation among mer-
chants ,rho bare not been accorded cut rates is
very strong. Every day we receive letters
and visiters urging strenuous prosecution of
this anti railroad war. The people are tired
OF the petty tyranny of those railroaders who
purchase their home supplies in Sacramento,
and Cypress every local industry with their
done in the name of the Vir-
ginia and Truckee Railroad and its Wood and
Timber Ring
Let the people who are most concerned as
sert themselves and proclaim their purpose in
the presence of this arrogant, avaricious and
monopoly

MIR. EDITOR-SOme time since there
appeared in your columns an article
relative to the necessity of again max
ing nominations, and presenting an
unbrol,cn front to the Republican party
in st. Landry, as was done in 1878. in
the main, l agree with you. We are
now united, and we must keep united ;
for, united we stand, divided we fall
Let the Democratic party in this cam
paign split into two factions, as it did
in 1876, and we may look forward to
seeing almost every office of Importance
in this parish filled by Republicans.
! Whilst the glorious result OF the cam
paign OF 1878 is still fresh in our
memories, yet it will not do to shut our
eyes to the fact that the convention
which met that year, as we'll as the one
which met in March, 1879, gave rise to
no little dissatisfaction in the ranks of
the party. Many contended that tie
towns in the parish eXcrtcd or attempted
to exert too great an influence on the
| action of the convention. In this way
feeling Of rivalry and distrust has been
engendered between town and country,
which may eventually grow until it
leads to a disruption Of the party. Now,
| it seems to the writer that our executive
committee can easily obviate all this by
ordering preliminary elections through
out the parish, directly for the canCli-
dates themselves, instead of for dele
gates. In this way all feeling of
opposition between town and country
could he obviated. The candidates
would he chosen directly by the people
themselves, and not 10y one hundred
and forty delegates who in many in
stances, after reaching the convention,
do not entirely represent the constituent
ces that elected them to the convention.
| The selection in this way would be
perfectly fair and free. There would
be no room left for "cliques, rings, or
combinations ~ and to me it seems the
best of ali means that can possibly he
devised for making the party a unit
and removing every source of dissatis-
faction amongst the people. Hence,
when the executive committee convenes,
let it determine, instead of calling an
election for delegates, to order vote
to bc taken in every ward of the parish,
on day fixed, for candidates for every
office to be filled at the December
election. Let all candidates file with
the committee their promise in writing
to abide the result, and then give the
people Il chance to be heard directly,
and let those receiving the largest vote
be considered the nominees of the party.
AS to the minor dctails-Who shall vote,
how returns are to be made, promulga-
ted, ETC., let these be left with the
executive committee. About the only
objection ! have heard urged to this
plan, is that relative to delegates to the
State convention. There need be no
trouble about that. Either let the
committee appoint them, or let them
he elected by the people at the same
time candidates are elected. These are
the opinions Of the writer, country
man, planter, and a lifelong Demo-
crat, who desires not only to see the
party kept together, but to see it so
soliditied that after this campaign the
Republican party shall be remembered
in st. Landry only as one Of the things
of the past. Rustic.
