The REASON WHY.-Some complaint is
made by Republican aspirants for Office that
the Republican Convention is called at q
date SO early as to give too long campaign.
These candidates, basing their conclusions
upon former experience. say that the cam
paign involves large expenditure of money
upon the part OF all aspirants to serve the
people in an official capacity that from the
date OF nomination to the date Of election
the candidate Is expected 10 treat with spirit
uous and Intoxicating liquors, wire and
cider, tho Independent voters of the Repu5.
lie, and that the expense for these multitu-
dinous drinks is, in the aggregate, the most
extensive item by far in the gross expenses Of
campaign. Between the nomination of
every candidate and the day OF his election
there IS rapid, running, rhyming, rythmic,
rill of dimes into the till Of the bars. and the
length of this tributary to the great river of
money absorbed by the liquor traffic is deter
mined by the length Of the campaign. Short
campsign-short rill of drinks long cam
paign--long stream Of high.priced treats.
Hence the wall from the lips Of those who
are anxious to serve the people, and who seek
the opportunity for performing such service
at the minimum cost.
THAT "TwENTr.sEvEs." The maddest
man in the city just now is Chief of Police
Matt Karcher. His force arrested twenty
seven suspicious characters the other night
young men without visible means of sup
port, and who are believed to be guilty of
yagrancy; young men who, in most cases,
live upon the wages of shame. For reasons
IN furtherancs of justice the Chief has not
as yet made known the names Of these pris-
oners. A publication Of the TACT of the ar
rests was made in the RECORD UNION. The
next day, with brazen effrontery born Of
The sublimity OF cheek. an enyious publica-
ton declared the statement to be utterly void
OF the truth. The RECORD. UNION yesterday
gave the Chief as its authority and his re,
iteration Of the truth of the statement. A
second time it is charged that the arrests
have not been made, and now the Chief is
simply boiling over with wrath about it, and
again asserts the correctness Of the original
statement. The RECORD UNION, having pub.
lished the simple facts, has nothing more TO
do with it. and leaves the Chief and the other
party TO fight it out on that line.
To BE INQUIRED ISTo.-On Tuesday last
VIM. Connolly conducted a special train from
Rocklin to Sacramento, and was to return
with it. Joseph Day was the engineer. Con-
molly did not return to the depot in time and
Day got orders and left for Roclllin without

TO Rocklin. When the two men met an al
tsrcation ensued, leading to blows, and Day,
it is said, threw Connolly. Yesterday Com
molly died, and whether from injuries re-
ceiyed at the hands of Day or of natural
causes is 60 be determined at an inquest to be
held OF Rocklin. Day last night had not
come back from his usual duty trip up the
read but is expeete there this morning, and
his friends claim that he acted only in self.
defense in the trouble with Connolly and that
the latter died from cholera morbus or come
other sudden cause.
