NOT COMMEMORATE.

An article appeared in the Gala
veras Prospect two weeks ago, pur-
porting to have been written in
Jackson, and signed "a Working
Miner" >" The article is against the
candidacy of G. E. Clinch, a prom
inent resident of Grass Valley, who
is an aspirant for the honor of being
one of the two delegates to which
the first congressional district is en-
titled to in the republican national
coDven ton. The writer claims to
have been a former resident of Grass
Valley, and personally acquainted
with Mr.. Clinch, who is admitted to
be able, intelligent, and above re-
proach. But he happens to be, so
the writer states, the manager of
company's store, and this fact is
trotted out as an unsurmountable
barrier to his candidacy. To send
a man holding a position of that
kind would ALLEVIATE the support of
the miners. 1t would amount to
recognition of an unfair principle,
and would endanger the republican
success in the coming campaign.
The Ledger does not believe the
communication was written by
working miner" of Jackson. An
anonymous communication attack
ing the eligibility of a candidate for
such a place, and published outside
his home" county, can only be
viewed with distrust, and will have
little weight with republicans gen
orally. We do not know Mr.. Clinch,
and would not have known of his
political aspirations had it not been
for this attack from an unknown
source. But the strange part about
1t IS that the article was republished
in full in the Sutter Creek Record,
thereby endorsing the attack, and
making the additional charge that
Clinch is not an available man for a
national delegate because he was
formerly democrat, and is merely
a half-made republican at the pres
ent time. He furthermore supplied
coin to put up building occupied
by the Grass Valley Union-a dem
ocratic paper. But the most sig
nificant part of the Records article
is the statement in conclusion that
Hon. E. G. VOORHEES, of Sutter Creek
is also a candidate for delegate from
this district, and ought to be Sc
lected. The Ledger, from motives
of home pride, and from personal
knowledge of the man extending
over many years, would like to see
Mr.. VOORHEES, receive the honor. We
cannot believe that the mention of
his name in double barreled TRADE
of abuse of a rival candidate has
been made with his knowledge or
consent. Such raw political work,
such petty backbiting tactics, hurt
rather than help the cause they are
intended to serve. Knowing Mr..
VOORHEES, as we do, as lifelong re-
publican, and a man of too much
self-respect to stoop to methods
tainted with unfairness, we sin
cerely hope this ill-advised and in
temperate work will not be held
against his candidacy by the repub-
licans of the first district.

Jury OUT But

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE jury that

saI was out but forty-five minutes.
Yesterday. as stated in these dis
o,ohes briggs, was released from jail,
sovine served his fine OF one day In
nrison and having previously paid the
$4,000.
Ne was found guilty Of accepting
money to procure a contract between
nrivate company and the government
rhua serving as a member OF con-
oross The Jury recommended mercy
Judge Thomas said the recommenda-
zion was eminently fitting as Mr..
1,r,egs had conducted himself with dig
n,tv and because he undoubtedly vio-
lated the statute unwittingly. Judge
Thomas said he believed Mr.. briggs
was only guilty in a technical sense.
In charging the jury Judge Thomas
said:
"Did Mr.. briggs tender services to
the Brandt Ment company In connec-
ton with a government contract. He
had a perfect right to give his services
gratuitously but if he was congress-
man-elect and received compensation
then 1 charge you that he is guilty"
The defense took exception to this
point.
After the jury had been discharged,
the court denied a motion for new
trial and reserved decision on a motion
for a stay of proceedings pending an
appeal Judge Thomas told the coun-
sci they might agree upon day for
sentence. He said: #
Il wish l could inflict a sentence
without Imprisonment but can not un-
der the law. j. shall make the sentence
as light as possibly can. You, briggs,
are free to come and go as you please"
The extreme penalty for the crime
for which briggs was convicted is two
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
In imposing the fine of but one day in
jail, Judge Thomas evidently was gov
erned by the facts above referred to.
