AUKUM.

June 2-There is but little news
that has transpired here that would
make interesting reading.
Harvesting is now in full blast.
The crops are fair average.
Your correspondent paid Placerville
a visit for few days last week. The
city appears to be in normal condi
tion. While there met my esteemed
friend the editor of the Republican,
who was born, reared and educated
near here. When he took hold of the
Republican, he came from the school
room as a teacher. The paper was
then run by a man named Selkirk,
whom | knew in Auburn in 1870. He
was then editing a paper there, the
name of which has escaped my men,
ory. The Republican when Mr. Rich
ardson took hold of it was practically
run down. Mr. Richardson took
charge of it as an amateur, and has
come out as an expert, and the paper
is on a paying basis. His hair is
turning little silvery,. and time in
its ravages is creeping on to make
him veteran editor. Besides giving
his patrons a clean sheet, he has
prospered financially. lie has fine
home and a prosperous business. So
much for perseverance and push.
In conversation with man who
had previously been a miner Of Ell
Dorado county, he said that in his
tramp in portions of the state that a
great many men we're out of employ
ment. He also said that the railroad
company allowed men out OF employ
ment to ride free upon box and fiat
cars when they desired to leave any
locality. sOf course this applies
principally to what are denominated
tramps, and perhaps those men not
having families hunting work. This
then is a political dodge, which bids
for patronage in the way of votes.
Taft may have a walkover, but L
. doubt it. 1t is a still hunt by COM
bined capital. 1t would not surprise
me to see a general breakup in both
conventions. The unaccountable. may
occur. In 1859 Lincoln would not
have been elected if it had not heen
for the split up generally Of parties.
If Douglas had stayed out of the race
Breckenridge would have been presi
dent. If Breckenridge had stayed out
of the race Douglas would have been
president. There would have been no
chance for either Bill or Lincoln.
So the unexpected occurred and LIN
coin was elected. The discomfort and
defeat of the southern democracy pre-
cipitated the civil war. Results may
be expected both III and out of the
conventions. 1t is a war to the hilt
of combine capital against the admin
istration or its policy.
