The managers having in charge the Shasta
Democratic -Mongre-Co bination ticket are
beginning to look mighty blue as the election
approaches. Things are not panning out to
suit them, and they are beginning to see that
they cannot drive Democrats to endorse what
ever they choose to put up. and worst of all.
the Republicans don't bolt worth cent
The few sorehead Republicans who have gone
over under promise of deputvships or future
nominations on the Democratic ticket, carry
precious little influence with them, and are a
feeble help to any party. The fact is the
men who claim to pack the Democratic party
of this County in their pockets have under
taken bigger job than they are able to per-
form and their knees are growing very weak.

Georgia is as practically aud completely under

other worklnen to undertake the work which
the parties combining have refused, and
that no obstruction be placed in the way of
the employer resOrting elsewhere in search

Justice or of policy for withholding such a
right from toe workmen. II cannot BE-
doubted that a demand. backed by the reso-
