RUBY HILL, October 8, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL-About thirty Of the
dissatisfied citizens of Ruby Hill assembled
at Miners Union Hall this afternoon tc
express their indignation at the in
which the candidates Of the Hill were
treated by the Republican County Conven-
ton last Thursday.
Mr.. Robert Rawlings was appointed tenn
porary Chairman end Mr.. Charles Curnow
elected Secretary. The Chairman stated
that the object Of the meeting was for
every n to freely and fully express their
views and feelings on the action Of the Re-
publican party. He said: 1--WE presented
two candidates to the Convention, who
were worthy Of being supported by the Re-
publican party; but their claims, and the
claims OF the citizens Of the Hill, were
entirely ignored, The party those candi-
dates represented were found, almost with
out exception, in the Republican ranks
and were firm supporters of the Republic
can cause, not in this county only, but
throughout this State and in every State in
the Union. We asked to take part in the
strife-to work, fight and vote for the Re-
publican party; but when we ask to par
tlcipate in the rewards of Office, we are
politely informed, mo Cornish need ap-
ply"
Mr.. Penrose was the next speaker called
on by the Chairman, and he said that the
Republican Convention having ignored the
claims of the citizens OF Ruby Hill. he
hoped the Ruby Killers would have spunk
enough to ignore the Republican party.
When the election takes place next month
inform them, in q not to be mis-
taken, that ii they can do without us we
can do without them. We have had q slap
in the face by the Republican party, and
we are not men worthy of recognition if we
do not resent it; and the most effectual
way to do it is by voting for the Demo-
cratic ticket. [Cheering.l
Mr.. Bray, being called on, said he was a
Republican, but he considered that the
Republican party had not treated us right,
and he would like to see every voter on the
Hill vote for the Democratic ticket.
Several others addressed the meeting,
among whom were Messrs. Dale, Barnes
and Pearce. They endeavored to explain,
" ooFoi up, w dpolOSlZe, W SuOOtn over
and plaster up the wounded feelings of
those present by saying that the Republic |
cans, as a party, ought not to be blamed,
but that only one or two went from their
word, and they ought to be "cinched."
They hoped they would not kill their
friends to have revenge oil their enemies, |
and if We stood by the Republican party
this time they had promised to do better in
the future. We must overlook those little
things, and learn to forgive and forget.
In fact, we were told to be ours, and turn
and kiss the hand which whipped us.
Your correspondent is mistaken il the
English residents on the Hill are going to
allow anybody to pull the wool over their
eyes and run the whole business. If the
Republicans of Eureka cannot employ
better advocates than the parties named
they are a ''gone goose" Our experience
has taught us that everything which gilt
tiers is not gold. We are too old to be
caught with chat, we tell the Republican
party that
Hopes and promises are the currency Of idiots,
Which gulls the easy creditor.
In November we are going solid on a
good, sound Democratic ticket.
ONE AND ALL.
P. S.-The meeting adjourned to 7
o'clock. / was not able to be present. II
anything particular was done I may hear
Of it, and will inform you in my next
letter.
