EDITOR DEMGCRAr My attention was
called to a communication in the Express,
dated Forbestown, Aug. 23d, which would
remain unnoticed only that the writer says he
would state for my Information, that there
were seventy-two names enrolled OF this place
and not Douglas man among them. Now
will state for the information of all whom it
may concern, (and my authority is from
Breckenridge man who was present and par
ticipated) that there were between thirty and
forty persons at the meeting and portion of
them were Douglas men who were there as
spectators only. That they enrolled the
names of those who supported the ticket, and
then each one handed in the name of every
one he could think Of The list being com.
pleted seventy-two homes were down. A
large portion of the persons whose names
were usel, were residents of Ynba county
and not of Forbestown. And further that
quite q number of those whose names had
been used without authority had politely Sc





list. l would ask you in all fairness, what
party could not get up seventy two names in
the same way The papers are quoting the
Express and are circulating the statement
(Which is false one) that Breckenridge
club is established at Forbestown with seven
ty-two members | will inform the gentle
men that there are but few Breckenridge
men in this place. They were beaten in this
town last year and'year before, by handsome
majorties. As near as can recolect the
Douglas party polled about two to their one;
and mark the prediction they are beaten
again this fall at this place. l would say to
this Yuba County Forbestown man that we
don't rely upon Clayton's Ranch and Ohio
Flat in Yuba county for our Douglas voters
lie says it is plain tobe seen that we are
doomed to dicgIaceful dfeeat. We claim
that our optics are as good as most persons
are, and that we don't see any such thing
and that we have not been beaten at this
place yet lie says "the writer is evidently
very consistent politician. We should like





Democratic nominations" and eff he has once
in his life time," he "is mistaken in The man"
Now for his information l will say he is ev-
identity mistaken in the man for have sup
ported the regular Democratic nominations,
eince | was old enough to vote, ard haue
never supported any other and further
that am not particularly posted in the price
of exchange or violin music" 1t would APP
pear that he disclaimed that part of their
programme was psalm singing, and then says
if We heard music at all it must have been


"Get out of the way your are all unlueky,


Clear the track for old Kentucky"


l think if he had received the late news
by the Pony Express from Kentucky and AR
kansas that he would not have INDUCED in
an attempt at poetry. Now, sir if am not
mistaken in the man, the same Yuba county
Forbestonan has declared himself Douglas
man and endorsed the Douglas doctrine and
was sent as delegate to the Democratic CON
venton, as such, two years ago. lie lived in
this county then, and it was he who got up
at our primary meeting and stated and franz
ed the instruction to the delegates, which
were simply that the delegates were instruc-
ted to support no one for Office who did not
endorse the doctrine of non-interventon as
laid down in the Kansas Nebraska bill and
advocated by Judge Douglas; and the same
man not two months ago expressed himself
that Douglas his first chocr.
This is the way this retromingent Democ
rAcy Il am indebted to the Butte Record for
this word) are trying to get up a furore and
create false impression, trying to make peo
pie at distance believe there is no body
here but few of the Yancy disorganizers.-
We are willing to let ballots tell the story
In conclusion allow me to say am no poiti-
elan and that this is my last; therefore this
Baeckinridge poet can have tie field.
