1t does our neghuor so much good to have
us take notice Of him and his sayings, thai
we would ndee be hard hearted were W,
to treat his utterances, with that senc
which their true merit deserves. Besides
these little notices have the effect of drawin,
him out, and giving the public a chance 20
know where he stands, thus resulting III

of Placer county. We might work for tin
same result in another way--for instance b,
telling what we know about this chckadc

OF this county twenty times over that thu
offspring of the great railroad lord of the
Pacific, was not only unequivocall, plcdgco
to say good words for him and his, whenever

is one of the very few Republican sheets
that still blindly attempt TO hold the rotten
remnants of the Republic n party up as
great party still, and one of unalloyed
purity, honesty and portenlious philanthro

other things, but they would have been re-

Rise up brother. Throw off the railroad
shackes, and be free. You don't know h w
