Year: 1871

Elsewhere We publish a detailed state
ment showing the vilest, most ungrateful
and disgustingly sickening treason on the
part Of some one, calling himself Demo-
crat, connected with the Sacramento Report
er office, which we ever have read Of The
treason of this cold Democrat, (old wretch
is the correct name) embraced hypocrisy, de-
ceit, and downright lying. Under this de-
ceitful lying this oily CANNON wretch made
the owners of majority of the Reporter
stock believe that the purchasers were Dem
ocrats Of San Francisco, and that the paper
would be Democratic all the same, and i'm
mediately d,ew the money from the Aboli-
ton Chinese Railroad firm of Stanford,
Crocker & Co. The Reporter makes no
contradiction of these disgusting details CIV
en- in the Santa Clara Argus statement, and
we and the public must accept them as true.
The argus owes it to itself, the party and
the public to give the name Of this treasona-
BILE wretch who has been passing as an "old
Democrat" that the political anathemas of
every decent Democrat may follow him to
his grave, and be warning to all other vile
creatures in the party. Three or four other
Democratic papers have taken the Reporters
view of the subsidy question, but we hope
and pray and believe their subsidy zsntiment
has not been begotten by subsidizing money,
as in the Reporters case; but all papers who
work for and with the Railroad interests and
Sacramento Record and Reporter cannot,
we are sorry to say, be in the public mind
free from suspicion. Poor Tray was good
dog, but that did not save him when caught
in bad company. 1t is notorious, and this
expose of the Argus only proves what all
before believed, that the Railroad combina-
ton has money to buy newspapers, legisla-
tors, convention delegates and all others who
can aid them in farther robbing tho public,
and that they use it as their interest requires.
This being the case, man or paper must
have reputation rarely attained in these
degenerate days who can advocate the inter-
ests which are Numerically opposed to those
of the people, of this unholy alliance and es-
cape suspicion. That Stanford & Co.. have
the legal right to buy the Reporter and pub
lish it in their interest, or any other paper,
We do not deny; but that such papers can
serve God and the devil, the people and the
Railroad Company or the Democracy and
the Black Republican Chinese firm of Crock
er & Co., at the same time, is denounced as
lie by the Holy Bible and every rational
man on earth. There is no question of the
willingness of the C.P.R.R. folks to buy
men and newspapers if they can get them at
their par value, reconed according to the
amount Of dirty work they can do against
the people and for the schemes of the Com
pany. They got bit" to the tune of 81 900
in this county once in buying newspaper
establishment, as the poor thing has never
been worth a cent to them yet. and only dis
gusts the better part of the Republicans.
And now they are 'bit' again in the Reporter
job for S14, $50, for it can no longer have
any influence with the Democratic party, or
any man who could not be bought cheaper,
with two-bt piece. This same Company
offered James p. Bull 81 900 in full paid
stock to advocate their subsidy scheme in
this county in the Union Adrocdte, in 1863,
but he refused it, and we now have his affi-
davit of the fact in this office. We guess
Uncle Crocker & Co., had better drop the
newsTa aper business; but ifthey don't we shall
see their tracks in the tone Of the papers
they see.


SUBSIDY how the word begins to stink in
