A Democratic Scheme Nipped in the Bud.
The Gait Gasette of last Saturday says,
under the above heading:
1t is our purpose to prove conclusively
and without fear of contradiction that by
the removal of the Republican county can
didates from off the Citizens Independent
ticket a grand Democratic scheme was
nipped in the bud, and the whole matter is
so transparent that when once explained it
will be understood by every Republican in
the county. In the first place this so-called
Citizens Independent Convention that con-
vened in Sacramento was purely Demo-
cratic gathering. The purposes of the Con-
yention was to devise some scheme by
which the Democrats could elect two or
three of their county candidates to Offices
1t was movement for the purpose of Sc
curing the election of a Democratic Assess
or, Democratic Treasurer, and an effort was
made to include the Democratic nominee
for Sheriff. A majority of the Republican
nominees were Endorsed by the Citizens
Independent Convention, and was also two
or three on the Democratic ticket-but to
come right down to plain facts it was po-
litical move to electWells for Assessor on the
Democratic ticket. To make the matter
transparent to ALL we will simply state that
four-tifths of the delegates who took part
were the very leaders of the Democratic
party in this county. For instance, the
delegates appointed and who attended the
Convention from this township, who were
they and what is their political faith
The gentlemen who attended this Conven-
ton from this point were James NJ. Short
J. B. Furnish and K. A. Miles. The former
was one of the sagacious " Big Ten on the
Democratic County Central Committee, and
the latter two were delegates to both the
late State and County Democratic Conven-
tons. We might trace up every man of
the thirty-five delegates present at the
Citizens Independent Convention, and
with few exceptions we will find they
are of the same political stripe as the
delegates who were present from Gait |
And right here, let us add, this very
same class of Democrats who took part
in the Convention, hailing from Gait,
were never known to vote for Repub-
lican in their lives, and although they
saw fit to indorse batch of Republican
nominees, they never for a moment in
tended to vote for a single Republican
aspiring for office-it is an undeniable fact
that these men would rather lose a hand |
than deposit vote in ballot-box for a
Republican. Their object was to strengthen
the candidacy of a few men on the Demo-
cratic ticket and thereby secure their cleo
ton. This Citizens Independent Conven-
ton did not stop at the simple indorse-
ment of the Republican nominees. oh,
no. The Independent party, through the
agency of County Central Committee, i'm
prudently levied an assessment on each and !
every Republican Endorsed. This was the
most obnoxious part of the prog anime. 1t
was scheme to fitch money from num-
Der of Republican county candidates TO be
used to defeat a few men on the same
ticket 1t was the boldest piece of political
knavery ever attempted in this county and !
we think the action of the Republican /
County Central Committee most commend
able in the matter, and that there was no
other course left and do justice.
