Nevada County picayune., 1886-08-04
Thompson and Anslsy Discussed

Editor P1CAYUNE:-In the last issue of the Dispatch read the following:
 IfJudse Thompson, the peoples candidate for state senator, IS m truth and fact q "carpct bagSer, ballot.box s.uffrl" and "black Re publican." az wiltul!y published by the PICAYUNE of last week. now an1 why i, it that over 200 ot the best men and Democrats ot Hope 1 township. where Judge Thamp'on has lived for long time, voted Tor him for county jniEe against the rcga|dy aomiare Gf thc Democratic parry.
 While l am not n citizen of Hope and. if it were true that lover 200 of the best men and Democrats of Hope" voted for Judge Thomp' son when he ran for judge of that county, never want to live there Il know something of Hempstead county politics, and l deny that 200 or any number of the best men of Hope voted for Thompson. There were, perhaps, some good men in Hope who voted for lim; but the Dispatch knows that local prciudices ill .hat county caused | it. The county is divided into Hope and Washington factions; they are forever quarrelling about the county cite, and at that time the Dispatch and other papers were prcying upon the prejudices ot the people around Hope for poiitl- cal purposes, inst as the Dispatch is now doing for it's own agSrand izcment. This was carried on, and the local prcjudices aroused to such an extent, that some very good people at Hope would have voted for '.yaller dorg" at that election rather than a Washington man. know they would have done so, for they couldn't have come nearer voting for one. unless they had done so ia fact, when they cast their ballots for Frank M. Thomp- son. And I believe just as much as l believe there ia n God, and inst as much IS the editor of the Dispatch believes he is his second son, that those good people are ashamed of themselves for ever having voted for him. And when the September election comes around, those same Democrats will vote for a man who has a record that he is not ashamed of. That man will wipe Frank M. Thompson etcrnallv from the political arena, and hope when he goes to the legislature he will eypuSn from tue records of that body the vote of thanks to Gen. Cotterson for the generous Q manner in which he robbed the people of Ark ansas. I wonder if the Hon. (9 Frank M. knows of such vote ofthanks?
 But, I want 10 know right here If the Grcenback party of Nevada county propose to put up such 9 man as Thompson to carry ont pure unadulterated Democracy. ls this the kind of stone you give to the people who are crying tor bread! May the God of IleaN en deliver us from any such Democra' cy.
 AS well might you expect the devil to convert sinners to Chris tianity, as to look for Democratic Legislation by such men as Frank M Thompson, or through a politl- cal party that would put him up as standard bearer.
 In the same issue Of the Dispatch is a sQuib from Warren's paper en- dorsing Thompson. Which side is Warren on now! A few weeks ago you accused him of having sold out to Jay Gould. Is he still for Jaw or has he gone radical. Now, l don't want to say anything about Warren, but know he is a terrible ] fellow 10 stick tO the man with the money, regardless of his past damnablc record as carpetbag radical. And he said Humphreys was an honest gentleman, and he is in the 'pen' for robbiug the ex. press.
 Bnt isn't it little strange that the Dispatch man who despiscs Gould so mnch (' would clip from one of his organs endorsing can. didate for the legislature. Of course he would carry out Demo.
