FOR TREASURER.

The political announcement of S.
G. Spagnoli. present county treas
urer, appears III this issue. He is a
candidate for denomination on the
republican ticket. Mr.. Spagnoli has
filed the Office for the past eight
years, with credit to himself, and
entire satisfaction to the people.
We have never heard murmur OF
dissatisfaction as to his official con
duct. He is always the same affable,
obliging gentlemen; ever present
during Office hours to attend to busi-
ness, and month after month, with
clockwork regularity, the official
count has shown the exact amount
in the treasury that the books called
for. Amador county has never had
more genial, whole-souled, and at
the same time, faithful custodian of
the county funds than the present
official, So far we have heard of no
other aspirant for the place on the
republican side
Amador ledger., 1902-07-25
HOW is THIS9

On motion it is ordered that the
price for printing the index to the sup
Elemental index to be used at the COM
Ing special election be fixed at five
cents per name.
We take the above from the pro-
ceedings of the board of supervisors
in Santa Clara county, the special
election therein referred to being
the election to decide whether the
primary election law shall be adopt
ed in that county. We have before
called attention to the outrageous
price established in this county for
the printing of the great register
index, and to bring this little scheme
for the fattening of the Dispatch
man at the expense of the taxpayers
into stronger relief is the object of
this article. The rate fixed in this
county in 1900 for the printing of
the great register index was 10
cents per name, and this rate was
unwittingly re-established this year,
without any effort whatever to find
out whether the established rates
were reasonable or otherwise. No
doubt the parties in interest were
consulted in the first place when the
conclusion was reached that 10
cents was fair price. But now
comes the Santa Clara supervisors,
and for the supplemental register,
to be used at the special election-a
register intended only to include
such names as are not on the old
printed register, and therefore much
smaller than a complete index of all
registered voters-and say five cents
per name is a just price for such
work. Why should Amador paw
twice as much for the same work
that is being paid in other coun ties?
Why should the taxpayers be called
upon to make a bonus of $50 to the
democratic paper for this job alone?
What hope can be entertained of
any material reduction in the tax
rate when exorbitant prices like this
prevail? We hope the board of sup.
ervisors will reconsider this printing
rate proposition, and re-establish
the prices on just and equitable
basis7

Monday, August 4. is the last day
for naturalization as far as voting
at the forthcoming election is con-
cerned. Those naturalized after
that date will be barred from taking
part in the coming election. Only
one week remains to get natural
lied, if you desire to vote in Novem-
Der. Applications for naturalization
are slow in coming in. Only twelve
have applied this month, up to the
23d. There has been less activity in
this line than in any campaign for
many years. Let every republican
remind an acquaintance entitled to
be naturalized, of his duty in this
respect, and use every effort to get
him lined-up for the ballot box for
the coming election.

WAILING RINGSTERs.

hlcnaro Weoo (Who wants the
county printing. Dispatch.
The article in the Ledger two
weeks ago, showing the causes which
have contributed to the forma tion
of the existing ruling clique in coun-
ty affairs, and their banding them
selves together in an offensive and
defensive alliance for the purpose of
perpetuating themselves in power,
has stirred the realm of oficialdom.
We expected this result. The article
was not written for their edifcation,
however. We did not expect that
the benefciaries of the alliance
would follow an example which has
been elevated to unworthy notoriety
in this county, by plea of guilty
as charged. The article was ad-
dressed not to the servants, but to
their masters-the people. We are
not insane enough to dream that
they are open to conviction that a
change in governmental affairs is de-
sirable in Amador county. They
are satisfied with things ar they are.
Four men, all belonging to the same
political party, are drawing from
the taxpayers at the rate of fourteen
thousand per year. 1t is a good
thing to them. They are so enamor-
ed with the situation that they want
to conduct business on the same
basis forever. But the people are not
so enthusiastic over the matter as
they are themselves.
In the Dispatch of last week ap-
peared a column article, purporti ting
to be a reply to the Ledger's presen-
tation. The phrase quoted at the
head of this column appears no less
than 10 times. Talk of paucity of
ideas and hackneyed phrases after
such nauseating reiterationD The
article was contributed, although it
bears no signature and purports to
have been written by the editor.
The earmarks are too plain for the de-
ception to pass unnoticed; and the
vulgarity, bordering on obscenity,
together with the self-laudation, will
not lift the gang" in public estima.
tion. Neither will the personal at.
tack upon the editor of the Ledger
divert this journal to a defensive
attitude. Let it be admitted that
we do want the county printing.
What of it? We want all that we
can get. but we do not propose to
stoop to dishonorable methods to
secure it. Per contra, are we to
understand that our esteemed CO.
temporary does not want the county
prin ting; that the dwellers in official
dom want to remain in the public
service solely for the peoples good,
and not for the monetary considera-
tions attached to their respective
berths. Just think of it, citizens of
Amador county, a voice from the
court house proclaims that there is
not county in the state that pos
sesses superior set of officers than
those which grace the big salary list
In little Amador." Self praise is
not much of passport to the good
opinion of voters. The Ledger
deems it proper TO refer the question
from the interested tax-eaters to
the final arbitration of interested
taxpayers and citizens at the
ballot-box.
Amador ledger., 1902-07-25
FOR THE OFFICES"

The trouble with the democrats is
that, having no principle to intend
for, they are fighting for the Offices.
That is the only question today upon
which they can show united front.
On national issues they are broken
into warning factions. Bryan, Petit
grew and others in the west are at
work to form new party out of the
wreck of the old organization, based
upon that wonderfully framed plat
form adopted at Kansas City. An
other wing, under Cleveland and
others, is industriously at work
widening the cleavage with Bryan
Ism, intent upon restoring the or.
ganization to the position it occupied
before the demoratizing influences
of the man from Nebraska became
paramount, The reunion of these
contending factions is improbable.
They have no common ground to
stand upon, not even the tariff issue.
Naturally, this split-up reflects more
or less upon the local organization.
In Amador county the singular
spectacle is presented that the candl-
dates on the democratic side are
minus single national issue upon
which they can appeal for support.
The republicans, ou the other hand,
are reinforced in their efforts for in.
dorsement at the polls, by the policy
of the national administration, under
whose fostering care this nation has
attained its unparalleled position of
prosperity and grandeur. 1t is true
that no opportunity is afforded for
the display of the vital principles of
a national party in canvass for the
local offices. 1t is no less true, how
ever, that the achievements of the
republican party in national affairs,
by the practical application of it's
policy, constitutes a rallying point
around which all candidates of that
party, from constable to president,
can gather for mutual benefit and
support. Republicans have done
we'll in managing the affairs of the
nation; by analogy it can be urged
they can be safely intrusted with
the smaller affairs of the county.
Democrats are bereft of this plea.
They have no overshadowing issue,
no vital principle to exert cohesive
influence upon them. Blunders are
the monuments scattered along their
administrative trail. Being without
an issue, they lack the essential ele-
ment to hold them together. eve
want the Offices" is the burden of
their song, We have held them in
the past, we want to hold them in
the future; not because the people
are better served, not because the
people demand that we should re-
tain our comfortable berths, but
because we are stuck on our jobs,
and have slated ourselves as our
own successors. We wofully mis-
take the signs of the times if the
voters of Amador county will toll
crate another four years of this
clique domination. Conscious of
their weakness, we expect to see a
scramble on the every-man-for- him
self principle ere the campaign is
fairly inaugurated.

The republican county committee
met in Sutter Creek yesterday, and
issued call for a county convention
to meet in Jackson on Saturday,
August 16, for the nomination of a
full county ticket and the selection
of delegates to the state convention.
Some objection may be urged to such
a long campaign. In favor of the
early naming of the ticket it was
pointed out that registra tion being
tardy, the most effectual work in
this direction might be accomplished
by the candidates themselves, who,
after nomination, will strain every
nerve to see that their friends are
in line to vote. Beside this, the other
ticket is practically made up; the
candidates are working just as hard
as though they were actually nomin-
ated. To counterbalance their efforts
it is deemed expedient to have the
replicans in the field as soou as pos.
sible.
