The Daily Transcript, ‘NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. Saturday, August, 16th 1879. sites A Dog in the Manger Policy. Some.years-agothe Murchie quartz dtfine wiistionded by its locators to a wealthy company of capitalists_ who were not long in making up their minds that it was a good piece of property and worth developing after an extensive fashion. The trade.was ov the verge of being closed when -certain residents of this locality,some ‘business men. and some—whr— call } themselves miners, and who feign an interest in the community’s welfare, got wind of the proposed transfer.— BITS OF BLARNEY. Enthusiasm. present between thousand people. evem excepting Stockton. this city was.ctowded to its utmost souls, The meeting waS~ organized by the selection of the following offi.cers: President—J. T. Wickes; Vice Presidents—Felix Gillet, ©. Bendorf W. Adams, M. Provine, A. Hendersun, J. McCabe, D. Murphy, Jno. no personal eitds to serve—let drop * present. . transfers took place had from out~ "They came across the intending pur-y chasers in some-way and ina ‘pute spirit of devilishness—for they had insinuations that the claim’ was a worthless one and advised the capitalists toteke heed lest a job that was alleged to have been put up to swindle them be carried out. Thus the sale of the mine was deterred for about a year, There are like cases im point of recent happening, and we want to cull attention to them in a qnanner that is notatall ambiguous, as most of our citizens will at once reeognize the mines and men referred to. Within a very short time four of the principal quartz claims in this locality have been bonded by reliable men, alkof whom ad fally jnade up their mind to vomply with the stipulated terms and hand over the coin. \ These sales were considered as yood as effected by all parties eencerned, when presto, the expect” ant purchasers suddenly announced that upon mature deliberation they had concluded not to purchase -at Thus between four hundred and five hundred men who ‘would otherwise have found émployimeut are deprived of it. A little inquiry as to the cause of this change in their tactics revealed that persons whe had nothing to lose in case the right malice gone tothe gentlemen and-poisoned their minds with unfounded lies. The listeners were toolish enough to accept the mutterings of tle vindictive croakers as_reliable. Itis a. pity that these ac* cursed busy-bodies cannot legally be they already are in losing the respect of decent people. Some artificial means ought to be invented to penetrate their brains—if they have any— and infuse into’them an appreciation of the fact that every time a sale of a mine to men of mieansis interfered with, the reputation of this asa mining locality is not only unjustly injured, but the business interests of all sectedinl are hurt. > _ "2 *—e Page as the People’s Friend, To-night Hon, H. F.

Burrows, extent similar to those! he nade in Nevada City, and in some extended references he used precisely the same words, — Hesaid that Grass Valley was the home of moral men and pretty women, and although being advertised to speak thete last Sunday. night had learned that it was _a_relipowtponed his appearance. This was no cut-and-dried . gathering of the old-fashioned kind. Heaven was. to be thanked that there were no H. b.’s or other political bummers. to disgrace the platforms as had failed to be the case in some places where he had spoken. Chinese employers and land thieves have raised a _railroad cry to mislead the people. Geo. Coolie Gorham, who .is making the most noise, is an unscrupulous, blatant blatherskite. He haslong been owned by Stanford and Crocker. If he,had been hohest in the past he would not have waited till now to eome out-for-the people, The. railroad is not a live issue with the Workingmen. They have three honest men [evidently Railroad Commissioners] and these will report as to what reductions should be made in freights and fares. High Josh} Glenn is put up by land monopolists and Chinese slave owners. «By casting votes for Honest-Farmer White. the country will be saved. The three men who were here . last night are well fed and well clothed political tramps traveling through the State with prepared speeches in their _pockets. They steal.the people’s intelligence andtake away their rights. -Ab Glenn is supported by a leprous newspaper of San Francisco once known as: the Chronicle, but now characterized by all honest men and virtuous women as’ an assignation sheet. The working-classes by interesting themselves in this fight are voting for their wives, their hones, and their families, and for the first dime in the history of California are voting directly against land monopoly and: Chinese cheap cabor. The political thieves who are opposing you are bound*to be swept into hell where they belong. You can do it on the 3d of September.I don’t want you to vote ferme.» Jam appealing to you for the sake of the now ths time will come when your questions The result of his past: services in the Congress of the nation . have demanstrated his thorough un. derstanding of the public’s necessi. ties and his ability to obtain-a recog. nition of his constituents’ reasonable demands. He stands forth to-day . in the front°rank of those Pacitic . Coast statesmen who*have deyoted . their time and talents not to advanc. but . as indefatigable and influential workers for the natural: and legal rights ing selfish personal interests, . of all residents, especially those of . the lumbermen and miners. It is . fact . ofa people’s champion. The that he springs:from vlasses is not so powerful a Quarantzs for them, of his sympathy however, as his subsequent efforts in their behalf. Hon. H. F. Page ge, than wvhom no other man—vexcepting Sargont—ever .sent to the seat ‘of Goverament has a greater influence with Jegislators from all Ps arts of the United States, is the the honest voters of this District. When the 3d day of September rolls around they will go to the -poljs, and those of rhem who can trample upon petty prejudices and estimate the valiahiity of such villainous slandering sheets as the San Jfrancisco Chronicle, will cast their baliot® for him. And there will be enough ef this choice of _vlass to elect him by an overwhelining majority.

If this fizht is kept up by you as bitter as it has been In the past a feeling will be created in the community ‘that: it w fil take years to overcome. We ask Wor kinginen’s s party. The politicians may also come in if they want to, but they must stay at the tail end, for they have furnished us with brains long enough already. Kearney was received with considerable enthusiasm, and held the audience spell botnd, strange as it may seem, frém first to last. At the conclusion’ of his remarks A. A. Smith, WP. C. candidate for Secretary of State, made a brief but vigorous speech. 1 6@ Denis Kearney’s Meeting at Grass ValHley—A: Big Crowd and Seme Denis Kearney was received at Grass Valley Thursday evening by twice as large a crowd as listened to him at Nevada City, there being three and four It was the biggest meeting held so far on ‘his route, not The free: traimof four cars that went from gious: community and consequently . darling, dimpled little boys and girls, If you do not create reforms. «. wtross Wants No Office. for Attorney General on both the W.

P. tickets, is evidently not in search of official honérs at the hands of the people of Cal+ ifornia., It leaked out yesterday that he has tendered his desire to withdraw from the tickets of both parties. The State Central Committees of the respéctive organizations have his resignation under -consideration. Mr. Cross states that his business : --. interests will not,permit of bis accapacity, having onboard nearly 400 cepting the office in case he should be elected. It is remarked by some -of the leading members of the N. C. P. in this_ county that Mr. Cross in accepting the-~nomination _at the hands of their-Convéntion endorsed. their ticket and platform.—These + same individuals now-claim that—Mr, Kearney’s remarks werg toa, great: Cross accepted the nemination of the Kearneyites, but would not agree to support them. and their. principles. — The nearer we get to bed-rock in this affair, the more mixed a condition of things is found. Mr. Truckee yesterday, else we would have prevailed upon him to sketch a. diagram of ‘‘the situation,” a photoCross was at graphic copy of which we would take pleasure in presenting to each of our enemies. Kearney Changes iis Route. Kearney did not go to North Bloomfield last night, as adv ertised, but left Grass Valley — yesterday morning for Marysville where he was going to take a day’s rest on account of sickness. To-night he speaks at Oroville. There isonly one way in vada county so precipitately. When he walked off the stand at Grass Valley, to go to his hotel, between 50 , and 75 women rushed frantically towards him and ‘grasping his hands made such remarks as, ‘‘God_ bless you, Mr. Kearney . !” May yer soul ristim pace, Dinis !” “You be a bloody nice mon, zur!” etc.; etc. Perhaps the little drayman feared if he stay~ ’ed here any longer some of these female admirers might eat him up as a partial recompense for the pretty compliments he paid them in his speech.

The gravel is astonishingly rich in every direction, and drift No. 1 shows a bodythat he has never before seen equalled in quality by any mine. The channel has already been opened up for over 100 feet across, ‘and the , west rimrock is yet to be developed. Thé average depth of the pay gravel is eight feet.
