CITIZENS, WILL YOU PERMIT THIS
OUTRAGE!

Two carloads or more of repeaters-over
two hundred in all-arrived yesterday and
last night by rail, by boat and other
wise, to vote to-day for citizens of Sacra-
mento. We have seen some scores of these
wretches who propose to swear away your
liberties to-day, and a fouler lot of ruff
fans eyes of man never rested on.
We ask Republicans and Democrats
alike, who respect themselves, their homes
and children, and their rights as Ameri-
can citizens, and have regard for free insti-
tutions, whether any one else than vicious
bosses, would perpetrate this outrage :?
Can anyone to-day for a mere partisan
sentiment afford to condone and become a
party to this monstrous wrong? Do any
believe for one moment that good can come
out of a system that resorts to such de-
testable means to maintain hold upon
the throat of the city? VIII citizens by
remaining at home, or by silence, or by
voting for the men who import these re-
peaters and perjurers, permit the ruffians
to answer the roll-call of the dead of the
Great Register at the polls to-day.
Come to the voting booths, and stand
shoulder to shoulder with your challengers
and defend them at all hazards.
1t was outrages of like character with
these importations that preceded the up
heaval IN San Francisco in 1856 This
people are patient aud long-sufiering, but
the hour of endurance is almost spent.
1t must not be that our liberties shall
year after year be sworn away, as the
bosses repeaters have done, and will do
to-day, if they can.
Come to the polls, decent, fair-play low
ing men, law-abiding citizens, home-lover. /;
challenge every strange, and make him proce
has right TO uote, and h any one fails, aid the
officers TO arrest the rascal and hold him for

4 CARD FROM MATT. KARGHER.

DLEASE ALLOW Me THE USE OF A
/ small space in your valuable paper to an
nounce to the voters of thi. city, and my friends
in particular, that have come 70 the concfu-
sion to withdraw from this contest on Tuesday
next for the Office of Chief of Police. Having
had my name submitted to the Committee OF
Twenty six, appointed by large meeting of So
called Indeper dent Republicans, held at the
Old Pavilion on the night of the Sth of March,
and they having seen fit to indorse the entire
Democratic ticket, could not with honor re-
main in this fight as an Independent Candidate,
being Republican at heart have understood
from some of this committee that the only sin ]
have committed is that A. J. Rhoads, usually
called Frank is q friend of mine, and that,
therefore, / could not possibly be Endorsed by
them (the Committee of Twenty six. In other
words, they would punish me on that account.
They say they have nothing against me as an
officer of some twenty-five years standing, and
admit that I am competent to discharge the
duties of the office to which have aspifed.
Some four years ago the so-called Independent
Republicans Of the State of New York did in.

nee for President of these United States, and

THE CRUSADE AGAINST Boss1sM.

The political battle to be fought in Sac
ramento 10 -day is not phenomenal. 1t is
representative of a contest going on be-
tween forss that will not cease until the
right triumphs. In the local example of
it now before US, the friends of reform
have everything to encourage them. They
have been called together suddenly and
have had barely week in which to organ
ize revolt against tyrannous rule of vast
power that robs them of their political
liberties. They have rallied manfully, and
in such n Imbers as to appal the enemy
and excits it to unprecedented efforts to
retain its hold upon power. Let not the
voters protesting against odious bossism be
surprised therefore at any methods en-
ployed to-day to defeat them. The grasp
of the bosses is not to be shaken off easily.
They wil die hard, but their political
funeral is surely appointed, and there will

RIGHT TRIUMPHS.

Elsewhere will be found an account of
proceedings before the Board of
lustees, in which is the record of the
iumph of right.
The people, by their chosen representa-
tfves, went before the Board of Trustees
yesterday and secured the ousting of men
from election boards for to-day whom the
people distrust. In their places citizens
have been installed whose character and
past services are guarantees that there will
be fair dealing.
This triumph is the Ssst gun of the
victory to be achieved to-day. Let
the people who love order, law, homes,
fair play, free ballots and honest counts,
and who believe Sacramentals have some
rights left that even political bosses must
respect, come to the polls today at 6 in
<the morning and stay there all day.
! Quit business for one day for the sake
good government. Cease trade one day
stand off the imported roughs from San
Francisco, and bend your energies to the
uplifting of the standard of reform and
maintaining it in the cause Of fair dealing

SYSTEMS, NOT MEN.

1t should not be necessary to repeat
what we have already said-that princi-
pies, not men, are involved in to-day's po-
litical battle in Sacramento. Where can
didates have taken officious part in detest-
able systems of " running" political par
ties; where they are the direct result OF
crime at which they have connived, they
are deserving of no pity, and ought to be
shown up in their true colors.
Some of the friends of Mr.. Elkus con-
tinue to ask us, through correspondence,
why we oppose him. We have distinctly
disclaimed charging him with any partici-
patton in the frauds that have resulted in
the ticket he heads. He is unfortunate,
as we have said. in having been the victim
OF his amiability. 1t has led him to lend
the strength of his standing to a clique
whose administration of the affairs of the
Republican party in this city has been,
and is, deserving of the severest condemna-
ton that can be visited upon it. There
never has been, is not and never will be,
any sort of excuse for such prostitution
Of power and invasion of the rights
Of citizens; such domination and cowing
such traffic in votes and offices, and such
enslavement of officials as these conscience
less bosses have INDUCED in. 1t must be
broken up, and these autocrats overthrow.
They are thoroughly bad in their methods,
and make political activity the means to
UNANIMOUSLY corrupt ends, at which free men
cannot wink. 1t is, therefore, keenly to
be regretted that the head of their ticket
taken up at the last moment to supply
q place m.de vacant by the original nom
fnee, also good man, who became dis
gasted with his company and con-
WINGED he could not be eected-should be
filed by a citizen who had not himself
taken part in the corruptions of the bosses.
Ills standing and good repute are being
used to shield these vicious bosses, who
must be overthrow, and their power
broken up to the fo1hdation. Behind
him they take shelter, while they continue
their efforts to wreck the Republican
party and plumber the city of Sacramento.
II supporting him, therefore, any who
votes his ticket-as we yesterday took
pains to in reply to correspondents
we esteep2indorse the vicious and demon
-al:z;ng influences that put him forward to
cover their evil designs. His old friends
wish the candidate far better than to see
him elected, bearing the stigma of boss
candidate. They do not assail Mr.. Elkus
in his personality, for his character forbids,
and honest self-respecting men never
strike down character with libel and un-
truth; but in the name of reform that
must attain the fullness of complete
triumph all over the land, il free institu-
tons and bunan rights are to be preserved,
they strike behind him at the conspirators
VINO have availed themselves of his name
to cloak their designs.

THE POOR MANS RIGHT.

Memory does not advise us that such a
mean and vulgar assault has ever been made
Epon the sacred right of free men in free
land, endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inSlienable rights, among which are
life; Lib y and the pursuit of happiness" as
that made by the organ of the boss tyrants
OF Sacramento upon Mr.. Wolf. 1t has
overhauled the assessment roll and found
that he owns no real estate, and therefore
Il holds he should not be trusted in office.
Here is revelation of offense that smells
70 heaven. 1t amounts to declaration
something like this: Stand back, men of no
real estate possessions in Sacramento your
lives of toll and probity and devotion to
your home are nothing The new order
has gone forth from the headquarters of
the boss dictator, and we his subservient tool
herald it to the people of Sacramento,
no poor man need apply"
While we have been ready to expect any
eccentricity from the evening paper, and
by experience taught to be surprised at
nothing generally that it utters, we con-
Tess that this expression is amazing,
even from the sheet that has hypocrit-
lcally posed as the friend of the poor and
the toiling; that has stood as the advo-
cate of the Georgeism, that would give
every man of another's landed possessions.
American citizens whose conceptions of
political equality are based upon clear
comprehension of the underlying princi-
pies of free government, will naturally ask
themselves: "Has it come to this that the
f5oss IS to determine the qualification for
flee? Is the property test to be applied
at this late day to determine the sover-
eighty of the American citizen ~
One loses patience, despite the exercise
of cool judgment, when he contemplates
the full meaning, and looks forward to the
logical outcome of the doctrine advanced
in this matter by the apologist for the
bosses, and quite justifes himself in ex-
trine ought to blister the tongue that
utters it and palsy the hand that pens it.
Better are the non-owners of realty whose
lives of probity and uprightness are their
patent of nobility, than the possessors of
newspapers or lands mortgaged knee
deep, whose conception of the scheme of
free Government is so vicious. Better
.housand-fold the honest poor man with
q property, than the rich boss with lands
measurable and treasures OVERCOMING"
- We mistake not greatly, the just and
fair-minded people of Sacramento will to-
day at the polls put their seal of indig
nation upon the scurrilous assault made by
the bosses organ upon the poor men of
Sacramento, among whom are to be num-
bered hundreds of her oldest citizens, most
devoted friends and the brightest of ex-
amples of clean and useful lives

ADDRESS
To the Republican Voters Of
Sacramento
BY the ReOrganized Republican City
Central COmmittee-The RevOl
Against Political Corruption.

To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF SAcRA-
MENTo:
The frauds perpetrated at the recent Re
publican primary in the Fourth Ward, and
Endorsed by the Republican City Conven-
ton, have made it necessary for the party
to purge itself of the shame of such prac-
tees by defeating ticket which could only
have been nominated by reversing the will
Of the majority.
To that end mass meeting of protest
ing Republicans Was held at the Pavilion
on Thursday evening March s, 1888, at
which an Executive Committee of twenty
six was appointed and charged with the
duty of nominating ticket, composed
either of Republicans exclusively, or OF
Republicans and Democrats, which the
citizens of Sacramento might support in
the interests of good government.
Pending action by the committee the
Democratic City Convention met and NOM
mated most excellent ticket, and mani
tested its sympathy with the objects we
have in view, by placing thereon Repub-
lican candidate for Fire Commissioner
whose defeat was the special object of the
frauds that led to the measures we have
been forced to adopt for the publication of
our party politics, and the reorganization
of the local party machinery.
Under these circumstances we have con-
'cluded that our best course is to indorse the
Democratic ticket as a whole and we do
therefore cordially recommend the Repub-
leans of Sacramento to vote for the ticket
headed by H. c. Wolf, and we do this as
citizens and Republicans having at heart
the best interests of our party and the
community at large.
We believe that the election OF the ticket
thus Endorsed will benefit our city and
purify the Republican party by Kidding
both of the political bosses and bossism
that have disgraced us in the past and
threaten at the present time to hand our
party and city over forever to those who
make politics their means of livelihood,
and scruple at no fraud to compass success.
By order of the Republican City Central
Committee, Sacramento, March 9, 1888.
w. II. BEATTY, Chairman.
WALLACE A. BRIGGS, Secretary.

Battle Won.

There is no question whatever but thai
the large majority of voters in the city are
in favor of the coalition ticket, and thai
the battle for honesty in politics and good
city government is WON, if the people will
be faithful and do their full duty by voting
ana helping at the polls to-day. Let every
self-respecting citizen vote early the tickle
that is opposed by the bosses. and which
the bosses have imported roughs to defend
and having voted, assist in seeing tha
others also do their duty, and that iliega
voting is prevented.

Importance to property-owners of Sacra-

Third Trustee, as that officer has control

a most efficient overseer of our Water
Works and a skilled engineer.
On the other hand his opponent, Mr.
