BOYCOTT ROUTE

guide in the framing of one for their
own affair.
In an unfortunate moment, but
prompted by the best of motives, they
contided the giving out of the printing
to l.. F. Stinson, of the Amador Rec
ord, with instructions to recognize all
printing Offices in the county in the
distribution of work. Now this amia-
BILE individual is man after "silly's"
own heart. He exemplifies the truth
of the old saw, "birds of a feather "
etc. His upper deck seems to be over
loaded with hatred, and he splutters
his cargo in generous measure over
every issue of his sheet. We have
paid no attention to his weekly rawlings
Notwithstanding the Ledger man, for
some unknown reason, seems to occupy
the storm center of his brain. He
imagines he is doing a great work by
his disordered ramblings, aud is alone
in that opinion, but as it pleases him
and hurts no one else, it were a pity to
disturb his pleasant dream.
Personally we have no acquaintance
with this man; we know him only by
sight; we have never had business
dealings with him to the extent of DC;
and have never had to our knowledge
even formal Introduction.
How did he carry out Instructions
J regarding the celebration printing? By
absolutely ignoring the Ledger. The
advertising was placed in every paper
in the county, except the Oldest, most
Influential, and widest circulated of the
bunch--the Ledger. 1t was contem-
plated sending advertising outside the
county, thereby emphasizing the in
tended boycott of the Ledger. And
the poster was whitfield in size so as to
bring it within the capacity of the Dis
patch-Record alliance.
The Ledger was non-plussed at the
nOn-recOgnitiOn treatment, and the
committee in Sutter Creek were equally
surprised at the appearance OF any
announcement of the celebration in the
advertising columns of the Ledger. A
representative of this paper went over
to Sutter Creek to investigate, and
was not long in finding out from the
lad les committee that the full respon-
sibility of this wretchedly concocted
plot lay at the door of l.. f. Stinson, of
the AmadOr Record. His action was
repudiated by them, as contrary to
their wishes and against their positive
Instructions. They expressed their re-
gret at what had been done, and recti-
fed the wrong by ordering the adver-
tisement and other work to this
office.
The Ledger reporter, armed with the
facts, went to Stinson, and wanted an
explanation of this betrayal of conf
dence. The main facts as herein stated
were not disputed, the only explana-
tion being that Penry of the Dispatch
was a personal friend of his, while he
entertained a feeling of hostility toward
the Ledger editor, based on absolute
non-acquaintance. Trapped in his own
net, and faced with the promise of ex-
pOsure, he fumed, and fused. and
cursed. abused the Ledger and all per-
tanning thereto, and threatened the re-
porter in the event of dragging the
matter into the sunlight, and in this
lOvefeast mood the interview closed.
We apologize for having to waste so
much time on so small subject.
The Record of this week tries to
squirm out of the fix after the ungallant
example of Adam of old, to wit: Two
ladies having the celebration In charge
called at our Office nearly three weeks
ago and req uested that we send an ad.
to the lone Echo and to one of the
Jackson papers, and we sent ii 10 the
Dispatch. a" The same old story of add
ing insult to injury--"The women be-
guiled me. "
The management of the Jackson
baseball team has been conducted along
similar stultifed lines, and we propose,
il this spirit be continued, to bring this
question into daylight shortly, which
will form another chapter OF paltrv
