The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-03-11

The Citizens Protective Union OF
San Francisco. have issued prOclama-
ton which is published in the Call,
Chronicle and Alta, in which they de-
clare the objects and purposes OF the
organization to be:
"FSrst-The preservation of the pub
lie peace.
"Second-The protection OF life and
property.
"Thrd-The restoration of conf
dence in the security of life and prop
erty from all violence.
Fourth-The resuscitation of legiti-
mate commerce, industries and the bus
mess of the people"
This they announce their intention to
accomplish within the law and by
peaceful methods. The organization,
they say, is for the public good, and is
formed without regard to party politics.
All good citizens, who approve of the
objects and purposes of the organiza-
ton, are invited to sign the roll.
The Bulletin approves the manifesto,
and the Post refers to the matter as
follows: eve have a municipal and
State government, quite able and will
ing to suppress any unlawful assem-
blage, whether its headquarters are at
the sand lots or in secret chambers.
The Workingmen have not yet been
heard FROM"
Meantime Kearney is defiant and
looks on the present excitement as
furnishing him with new weapons. He
says the workingmen are peaceable and
law-abiding; that the city is entirely
safe in their hands, and that it is only
the Chinese employers and stock gam
blers who threaten to make any trouble.

ASSOCIATED PRESS STRATEGY.

W. ]. Hill, formerly editor of the
Silver City, Idaho, Avalanche, is now
publishing paper az Salinas, Califor-
mia. Last September Mr.. Hill, or cold
Hill'' as he was Familiarity called in
Idaho, was elected member of the Cali
fornia Assembly, and is classified as a
Republican in that body. The other
day municipal election was held at
Salinas, and Old Hill was a candidate
for Mayor. He was defeated by ll9
majority by H. S. Ball, the Citizens
nominee for Mayor. As the Associated
Press is not given to reporting Republi-
can defeats at this season of the year,
when Presidential booms are the order
OF the day, the news gatherer reported
the defeat of Hill, as victory for the
Citizens and Republicans, over the
Democrats and Workingmen. This is
Associated Press strategy, but the fact
that w. J. Hill is Republican MEM
Ter of the California Legisture, remains
uncontradicted, nevertheless. When
facts are perverted in that manner to
make the returns from elections appear
as favorable as possible for favorite
party, it reminds one of the celebrated
hunter who saw what he believed to be
deer in the woods one day, and fired
at it. The supposed deer proved to be
cali, and escaped .pninjured. What, !"
said man who saw the crack shot"
draw bead on the animal, 'How is it
that you missed that calf:" "Well, :"
said the hunter. II fired to kin it If It
was a deer, and miss it If it was calf. :"
This is the way with the Associated
Press news gatherers. When candidates
are defeated they call them Democrats
or Workingmen, but when they are
elected they are almost invariably re-
ported as Republicans.

TELEGRAPglC ITEMS.

The news Of horrible cutting affair
at the Penitentiary in Salem, Oregon,
is received. A convict named Jerry
Weston received severe and perhaps
fatal injuries at the hands OF his cell
mate, John McComb. They were con-
fined In the same cell, and had been
accustomed TO shaving themselves. On
Tuesday, their razor having been passed
in 10 them, and while Weston was
standing with his back toward Me-
Comb, the latter, without a word Of
warning, suddenly reached around and
drew the razor across Westo1's throat,
cutting frightful cash and barely
missing the jugular vein. He then in
ficted another wound few inches
lower, when Weston grappled with
him and raised cry of murder War
den Osbon rushed into the cell, and
after severe struggle McComb was
brought under subsection and cast into
cell. No cause can be assigned for
the act save insanity, McComb having
acted queerly for several days past.
About sixty Chinese arrived at st.
Louis yesterday, from San Francisco,
and all but ten or twelve OF them
passed through, en- route to New Yori,
and other Eastern cities, where they
will seek employment in the shoe and
cigar factories, laundries, etc. Large
numbers of these people are said to be
preparing to leave the Pacific Coast,
and will scatter throughout the North
ern and Eastern States. They say that
while they expect to compete with
white labor, they do not intend to cut
down prices, but will demand full
wages for their labor.
A letter from Lord Beaconsfeld to
the Duke of Marlborough is published.
1t announces the dissolution of Parlia-
ment and declares that the Govern.
ment, so far from being Indifferent to
Ireland's affairs, has been deeply con-
cerned therein; sets forth that the
Home Rule agitation threatens the in
tegrity of the Empire, and expresses
the belief than an appeal to the people
will result in an approval of the Gov
ernment's policy. The main points of
the letter are opposition to Home Rule
and a plea for the maintenance of
English influence in foreign affairs.

WI have once or twice published the

of General Garfeld's constituents. We

Arthur was unquestionably the result of

perhaps dictated by a desire to conCiliate
the naughty spirit Of the New York
Achilles, 80 that he will not sulk in his

bl0nder. For Arthur represents precisely
all that the nomination of Garfield was
intended to condemn, He is the EN-.

AYES LAST

HAYES in the closing paragraph of his
last veto message says mo objection
would be made to appointment of cleo
ton officers by United States Courts"
and that he is "in favor of appointing
officers to supervise and protect the
elections without regard to party" This
after he had vetoed a law for the very
purpose. The inconsistency draws from
the Philadelphia Telegraph Republican,
these comments:
The rather unfortunate postscript, how.
ever, places the President in the attitude
of acknowledging the obvious correctness
of a principle, while showing a determi-
nation to prevent, 30 far as in his power
lies, any practical application of the prin-
ciple until after the next e%lection-an
election, by-the.way, which, except so
far as it involves the choice of Congress.
men, does not come within the operation
Of the Federal election laws.
The Telegraph is in error here, for the
election for President and Congressman
occurring on the same day, brings the
choice of President within the opera
ton of the Federal election laws" That
accounts for the veto. 1t is desirable to
have an army Of hummer deputies about
the polls in the interest of Garfield.
The Telegraph makes these further
com ! ents:
1t cannot be said that Mr.. Hayes has
done himself much credit or his party
much service by his veto. The fact that
the present Federal election laws, while
they are undoubtedly constitutional, are
radically defective, andi in their practical
application have wrought injustice quite
as often as they have the contrary, is

make the best possible showing for itself
as a party which has the good of the
whole nation at heart, and which is not

Republican party cannot afford at this
time, to assume a factious attitude, and
by so doing stand a good chance of los.

its opposition to the factiousness of the

ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE.

FELLOw-C ITIzENs-We who address
you were appointed a com nittee for this
purpose by an independent convention
of Republicans, assembled for the pur.
pose Of putting in nomination a suitable
person as candidate for Congress in OPP.
position to James A. Garfield.
The u which impelled the calling
of that convention and inspired its &C.
ton, are set forth in the resolutions by
it adopted and printed herewith. To
the indictment contained in those reso-
l%utions, ard the evidence submitted in
support thereof, we respectfully call your
attention and ask your candid consider.
alton.
We have no grievances. We never
sought favors at Mr.. Garfeld's hands,
and have no personal quarrel with him.
On the contrary we have been among
his warlnest political friends and sup.
porters, and now only attack his acts and
conduct in public life, and the character
he has thereby attained.
1t is easier to float with the tide than
to row against it, and we regret the ne.
cessity that Compels us to ~denounce him.
The Republican party to which we be.
long has triumphantly carried the nation
through the great ordeal of its existence,
Peace and union are established from
the Lakes to the Gulf and from Ocean
to Ocean. 1t has demonstrated the
problem Of self-government. 1t has vim.
Dictated the principles of personal liber.
ty, and the equality of all men before
the law. 1t is glorious in history and
achievement. But it cannot long live
upon history alone. 1t must meet the
issues of to-day. These are not the
blood stirring ines Of National existence
and personal liberty those are settled
and past. The issues now are finance.
personal integrity and the means of pro.
curing bread. Over US is a national debt
of vast proportions.
We review with pride u party his
tory u a~chleVements, but we now see
fraud in high places eating at its vitals.
Its Revenue officers are found stealing
and dividing with whisky rings. Its
Secretaries sell post traderships; its Con.
gressmen raise their own salaries and
make them retroactive; take great fees
for argument on pavement Jobs before
boards of their own creation, and pocket
the dividends of great frauds like the
Credit Mobilier; corruption rides in 81.
800 landaulets, purchased at government
expense, and Congressman build palaces

and act as if they were its owners, seek.
ing to wiring from it the greatest possible
number of dollars for their own base our.
poses.
The Republican party has done much
to purify itself within itself. Its whisky
ring revenue officers are convicted and
imprisoned; Belknap is deposed and i'm.

by Mr.. Garfield? Ayes, sir,
q N.Y. --- L. LII -lL --

Q-That was his idea of what was
coming to him? A-Yes, sir.
Garfield sought to tamper with
and suborn Ames, and the attempt ended
in his claiming a larger share in Credit
Mobiller than had been allowed to him,
after having solemnly sworn a fortnight
previously that he "never owned, %reCeiv.
ed or agreed to receive any stock of the
Credit Mobilier, or any dividend or prof
it's arising" therefrom. Tne climax was
capped when Ames produced his diary
with the original entry against CART I'D,
dated Tuesday, Sept. 80, 1868, setting
forth his account for ten shares of Credit
Mobilier. Garfield did not dare go be,
fore the committee and confront Ames,
because he knew there we're still other
proofs in reserve. He waited until Ames
was dead, and then with Schuyler COL
fax and others who had been bribed, he
attempted to whitewash his iufamy."
"The letter of our Washington corre-
spondent gives the evidence more in
detail, but what is printed ia this con-
neCtion is ample to furnish a clear un.
%derstanding of the Credit Mobilier steal,
and Garfeld's criminal connection with
it. He is as guilty as Colfax, who has
been consigned to the universal and
eternal contempt of the American PEG.
ple."
Now, let the Rep. publish the history
of this dis~graceful affair. Lay the facts
before the readers of the Rep. and let
them judge for themselves. Do not
withhold the truth in a matter so inn
portant. Truth is mighty and will pre-.
vail.
So, do not withhold or suppress, but
print with a view to truth, justice and
fair dealing.

A Good illustration of the "insatiate
lust after Office" Of the Republican brig.
ands in Brooklyn, N. Y, has just been
shown. The city is Democratic by Is.
900. The Republican Legislature took
away from the Democratic Mayor the
power of appointing city officers, and
vested it in the City Comptroller and
Auditor, These officials on Tuesday ap-
pointed Republicans at the head Of ev-
cry department. in the city-removing
Democrats. The Republicans, in their
"~insatiate lust for Office" are equal to
anything, from stealing a President to
getting away with a street sweeper.

The Philadelphia Times, speaking Of
the late James A. Bayard Of Delaware,
says: 1.-THE best remembered incident
of his life, after all, is that connected
with that source of woe to many other
statesmen, the Credit Mobilier business.
OF all whose names were involved in
that scandal, he alone came out with
clean hands. When some of the stock
was offered him as a matter of personal
friendship by an admirer (not Cakes
Ames), the venerable Bayard declined
to receive it, as he "could not consist.
emily, with my views of duty, vote upon
a question in which l had a pecuniary
interest" 1t is a strange coincidence
that the death of this good man should
be nearly simultaneous with the nomi-
nation of one who did accept the stock
under the same circu instances for Presi-
dent Of the United States. James A,
Bayard was a Christian statesman in the
best sense of that abused word"

the privilege. Now they are poor, but
still the male heirs decline to claim it,
agreeing that Mrs. cambridge and Mrs.

President Taylor, shall get the benefit Of
it. Accordingly the Houae last week
voted to pay them the money.
