Parade Notes.

The 'Rough Riders" were an in
teresting feature of the parade.
The various transparencies were to
the point, and elected cheers.
The entire programme was carried
out without hitch, and the several
committees have cause for self-con-
graduation.
Not boisterous nor an intoxicated
person was seen or heard during the
parade and meeting.
The banquet at the New National
was sumptuous, rejecting credit on
that justly celebrated hostelry,

EL DORADO COUNTY.

Republican: Considerable work is
going on at the Shaw mine now. The
Huntington mills obtained on the
North Side at the Van mine are to be
set up, the shaft opened for working,
and residence for the superintendent,
W. 1. Smart, is being erected by Phil
eas Cote of this city who has the con-
tract. Several thousand feet of lum Der
were sent down for this structure by
Beach & Co., during the week.
M. J. Williams of Ell Dorado was in
town last Monday. He is still engaged
ON the Pocahontas mine, on which he
and three other miners have a lease.
They are taking out and crushing rock
from near the surface and find it fairly
profitable.

Feel sanguine.

Our Democratic friends appear very
sanguine as to the result OF the coming
election, so far as Assemblyman and
Supervisor are econcerned. The various
candidates and leaders of the party got
into the field early and evidently feel
confident that the pins they set up
cannot be knocked down by their op-
ponents. This 'sure-shOt" feeling
seems to pervade the entire rank and
file of the Democracy of Amador
county. This feeling is born of past
successes, but the turning point has
been reached, and they are fated to 90
down, this time, with dull thud.

The young folks then had their inning
until 2 o'clock in the morning, the hall
being cleared in short order and
Renno's Orchestra installed for bust
ness. 1t was an enjoyable party, and
gave excellent satisfaction to all who
participated. 1t is the custom in min
ing camps to wind up everything with
a dance, except prayer meeting, and
there have been we'll authenticated in
stances where the prayer meeting only
escaped the dance by mere scratch.
Thus ended one of the best political
demonstrations ever held in Amador
county.
Now let us vote the straight Republi-
can ticket and put clincher on our
work.

This year, more than ever before in
political canvass in Vermont. there
has been a prevalence Of boomers
for this candidate or that. for
this office or that. making life
miserable for voters generally in
cracking up" their man and crack
inc down" the other fellow. These
men have travelled all over the dis
trict or county in the interest OF their
candidate. knowing no boundary lines.
There has been no disposition shown
to recognize what have heretofore been
termed the proprieties. Adherents of
the several candidates have actively
canvassed the towns, LAYING down the
law to the natives and even being
present and peddling votes in the eau
cuses. 1t is not strange that we hear
from many towns where the voters
have resented this system and As a re-
suit they have been lost to the parties
making the canvass in this way. Il Is
but natural that the citizens of any
town should conclude that they know
as well how they want TO vote as do
these travelling agents who are doubt
less paid for their time and services.
We believe that each town should set
tie its own preferences without inilu
ence or interference from outside. and
nine times out Of ten. this kind OF
work does more harm than good.

Uncle Sans part in the present Chi
nese disturbances is not at all the re-
suit of his expansion policy. lie has
made no eucroachments whatever on
China, and it was supposed that his
relations with the Celestial empire
were of the most friendly nature. But
for our Philippine forces we should be
in poor condition to give succor to our
prosecuted missionaries and merchants
in China. As it is, we can rush a for
midable detachment and many ships
to the scene sooner than almost any
other nation. 1t is ourd duty to be there
in this emergency. and though it is
not a pleasant one and may be costly.
it should not be lodged. To repress
this Boxer insanity which seems to
have involved the Chinese government
and army, is Joint duty devolving on
the great powers, among whom we
are proud to be counted. 1t will be
thoroughly done, though time and
great effort may be necessary to per-
form it. If it should involve the whole
empire. so that its partition should be
necessary, We will cross that bridge
when we come to it, hoping that some
kind fate may postpone so momentous
and possibly so dreadful a conse-
quence.

der 50. 1t is a big field and the candi-
dates are well punched, but there will
be a great stringing out after the first
ballot. Page claims. and probably
has, more second choices than any
other, so he will be far ahead on the
second ballot while Powers will grow
somewhat and the others will all fall
Oft. This will be the real test. If
Page lacks only a few votes, he will
make these up from the scattering
field during the next few ballots. but
if he lacks a good many and additions
come slowly. the wavering will take
courage and the anti-Page vote will
make a desperate effort to centre on
some man who can command a major /
ity. Page expresses the utmost conf /
dence in his success, and he has in the
past proved a pretty safe political
prophet.
