MALICIOUSLY FALSE.

SACRAMENTO, August 10.-An en-
ploye of the state of California by
the name of George Dunlap has been
discharged from position which he
has held for many years because he
made the declaration that he did not
think Henry 7. Gage should be re-
nominated for governor. Dunlap is
a prominent republican of Amador
county, and is a member of the re-
publican county central committee.
Dunlap was in charge of the live
stock at the Preston School at lone.
He was discharged one week ago by
Rev. DR.. Reddick, superintendent
of the school, Rev. DIR. Reddick is
an appointee of Governor Gage aud
a neighbor of his at Downey, id
Southern California. IS. F. Chroni-
Gle, Aug. II.
The above statement as to the
cause of Dunlap's dismissal was first
published in the lone Echo. The
local paper, issued almost under the
shadow of the school, ought to know
whereof it speaks before making a
charge of such serious nature.
Hence the damaging report has been
allowed to pass. unchallenged. On
the eve of the primaries the same
charge is re-vamped in a special dis
patch from Sacramento to the
Chronicle, The evident purpose being
to prejudice the voters against Gage.
The item is held up as a sample OF
the methods resorted to by those
holding appointive offices to pro-
mote the denomination of Gage.
Being suspicious of these tactics the
editor of the Ledger called up Super
intendent Reddick and asked him il
there was any truth in the report sc
far as the cause of Dunlap's dis
charge was concerned. The answer
was decisive denial that Dunlap's
removal had not the remotest bear.

JOHN F. DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR.

Ada B. Campbell, the Copperopolis
correspondent of the Calaveras
Chronicle, mentions our townsman,
Hon. John F. Davis, as an available
candidate for governor in the follow
ing vigorous style:
Voters of this senatorial district
and Of these mountain counties are
you asleep? Why don't you an
nounce your candidate for governor
and stay with him until he is nomi-
mated and elected? You can do it if
you will. Right here among us is a
man who would honor that high Of
fee as it has never been honored
since California became a state: a
lawyer of profound erudition, a
statesman and orator with few equals
and no superior, and more than all
else an honest man. A man who if
elected will keep inviolate his oath
of office and obey the law by making
the capital of the state his residence
during his term of office. The gov
ernorship belongs this time, to
northern California. The state OF
California in general and this section
in particular, owe it to themselves,
and to this peerless native son, tc
make him governor I nominate
Hon. John f. Davis of Calaveras and
Amador for governor. He will
carry the republican standard te

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Not for many years has the prom
Use of republican success in Amador
county been so bright as now. In
the republican ranks there is scarcely
a ripple of discomfort. The masses
of the party are lined up in practi-
cally solid phalanx against the
further dominance of those in power.
The democrats are determined to
foist themselves on the people for
one more term, while mutterings of
dissensiou and rebellion on every
hand reveal deep-seated resolve on
the part of scores of those in their
ranks who deem partyism sub
ordinate to the public veal to pre-
vent such calamity. The efforts of
the ''one-more termers," may be
directed toward trying to foment
strife in the republican ranks; to
dissuade those whom they fear as
competitors from entering the race
for Office. In fact, every scheme
known to the crafty politician will
be tried to Offset the revolt in their
own camp by fomenting discord in
the opposing ranks. But all such
plans will fail The people of ANA
dor county are looking to the re-
publican party to terminate the
reign of ring-rule, bullyism and in
timidation, which has held sway so
long. That controlling element in
all elections-the independent voters
are anxious for relief They love
good government above everything
else in politics. They want men in
Office who will not forget that they
are servants and not masters. We
trust under the circumstances, the
republican party will present a ticket
without a weak point in it. Such a
ticket we believe the voters are pre-
pared to indorse at the polls. They
are tired of existing conditions. For
good and sufficient reasons they
want change. They are alarmed
at the thought of another four years
of the same old worn-out song. II
is discord and not melody to them.
All the republican delegates have tc
do is to give fairly acceptable candi,
dates, avoid strife among them,
selves, act true to themselves ano
their candidates, work with sole
purpose of winning, and the people
will take care of the result.

John F. Clute was in Jackson yes
terday. The republicans have been
locking up an available candidate
for county clerk, and turned to him
to lead them out of the wilderness.
The suggestion took him unprepared,
but after consultation with his
friends, he concluded to travel to
Jackson and look over the situation
for himself. He was accompanied
by Gus Grillo, who carried the pri-
maries in township three as an in
dorsemeut of his aspirations for
supervisor. Both men are fast
friends Notwithstanding their recent
trial of strength at the polls. Young
Clute was not on the look out for
the clerkship, but like a true repub-
lican and patriotic citizen he saws if
the party desires him he will accept
the nomination, and use his utmost
eXertions to win.

An effort was made during the
week to induce L.. Oettinger, of
Knights foundry, to take the nomi-
nation for sheriff on the republican
ticket. The effort proved unavail-
ing, however. Republicans are still
working on the problem, and Fred

mentioned. 1t is hoped that by the

the matter will be Strengthened out,

The result of the primaries
throughout the state has mixed-up
the situation considerably. Neither
the Gage nor the anti-Gage forces
have scored sweeping victory,
Gage has evidently secured more
delegates than either of his oppon-
ents, but not a clear majority By
combinations be may be able to win
the nomination. If the anti-Gage
element will hold together they can
certainly defeat him. 1t is very
doubtful if they can work together
for this end. Gage seems to have
the best of the situation.

plain path of duty and patriotism
When party leaders resort to such
tactics it is about time for right
thinking men to invite them to a
back seat in political counsels.
They are councillors for evil, who
would play the role of wreckers in
order to gain their selfish ends.
Steer clear of them. They have OUT
lived their usefulness.

PLEDGING DELEGATES.

The dire straights to which the
democracy of the county is reduced
is forcibly illustrated by the at
tempt in the Jackson caucus to
gag delegates to the county con-
vention by a pledge to support
the nominees in toto. This is the
most sweeping, high-handed pro-
ceeding ever tried by a political
party in Amador county. 1t has
neither reason nor precedent in its
favor. The object of the move is
apparent. There were probably
some named in the delegations to be
voted for who had particular friends
or relatives who were likely to be
nominated on the republican ticket.
Ties of kindred would naturally bind
them to these more strongly than
the mere ties of party politics would
incline them to support the county
nominees of democracy. So this
scheme to pledge them to the ticket
in its entirety was cunningly de-
vised to either bar these men from
the convention, or cause them to
abandon their friends at the behests
of partyism: 1t failed, as it ought
to failed. The fact is, taking part
in political convention imposes no
moral obligation upon the delegates
to vote a straight party ticket. If
that were true, only the straight
laced, vote-for-a-yellow-dog class of
politicians would be eligible to enter
a nominating convention. A politi-
cal organization that endeavors to
strike at the freedom of the citizens
at the ballot-box must be about at
the bedrock of political degradation.
The game did not work; but all the
same it shows the drift of events
with the rule-or-r element in the
camp of the terrified" The only
pledge that can be legitimately de-
manded by a nominating convention
is pledge from the candidates to
support each other. This is abso-
lutely necessary for mutual con-
tidence and protection, and should
be insisted upon in every instance.
A nominee who plays the traitor to
his comrades on the ticket cannot be
tolerated in any organization. Be-
yond this, however, pledges are only
devices to lure the citizen from the
