Mevccutis Post loms sag “OAILY TRANSCRIPT 2 calted to order by Ti W> Sigourney, RE Seuiecratic ¢ Conversion. RRR SERRE The Democratic Conseation met -at Court House at 1] a. M. and was {Chairmag of the County Cential . } Committee. gC, H Mitchell, of Grass: Valley, The fact that Hon. A was ou the platform at Gorhain’s meeting in Platt’s Hall last saturday evening has caused much excited comment all over the State during the past two or thiee days. Certain . . A. Sargent _.joumalists opposed tothe H,.BJ/s% aud heretotore entertaming the kindliest feelings toward Mr. Sarmember from each township. gent have without waiting to be fully . advised in the premises scored that — _gentlemau most uninercifully for his supposed. apostacy. By the time “—“they-come-to-a therough-understand-. ing of the.circumstances they will no"’ duubt deeply repeat their rashness, and hereafter be more guarded. Our ex-Senator is a Republican of a lifetime’s standing. ‘During the poiitical tempests that have swept over the country with unbridled fury he has always steod true to his colors, and swayed neither-to the right nor the left." When dangers such as Chinese immigration threaten the peop'e he is always found on the side of his. countrymen, With a clear where thé “path of justice lies, and a sturdy ‘und honest manliness that no evil.influences can pervert, the Republivan party ought to know just where it can always find him. When. we heard it insinuated that his presence at Gorham’s meeting meant a betrayal of his party to the extent that his mighty imfluence could, prevail, we . -knew that false deductions were be-. ing'drawu by his enemies for evil purposes that did not appear-on the face, Firm in this-belicf, we were pleased tv refrain from referring to the subject, in spite of the triumphant ‘‘\Vo tule you so” of the local politicians on the ether side who gloated over the supposition that they had captured one of our strongest states anea, : And now comes the sequel, Mark it. There has returned from San Francisoa one of Nevada county’s Democratic leaders. He waa_there Saturday, and with Mr. Sargent and . a la¥ge number of other uncompro. ~ mising enemies of the Chronicle party, received from George ©, Gorham, as personal acquaintances, an invitation to attend the meeting in Platt’s Hail. Gorham explained. to them . that he had hired the hall of his own aceord, and desired these specially myited individuals to occupy seats on the platform that they might be more comfortable in the crowd of the large audience that was. expected.— All invited aceepted the proffered mark of respect, without regard to theirfaith in the subject under diseuasion. The Democrat from Nevade. countyrititended to have sat there . with Mr. Sargent, but arriving at the Hall rather late was unable to force his way through the crowd and on > te.the platform. Hence what else are,.we to believe than that Mr. Sargeut is still true to’ Republicanism in the fullest sense of the word. Those . who know his past record best will! Since writing the above, we see from the San Francisco papers thmt . by,.erder of the Republican State @. Central Committeo ‘a Republican . meetin? will be held in Platt's. Hall this (‘Thursday) evening ; and that. it will Be addre4sed by Hon. Aaron A, . Sargent. ~ > More Trouble. It is stated openly that an effort will ‘be made shortly to yet a major-. ity of tae Workingmen’s County Central’ Committes tugethor .at an es ly, date aud call a Convention to ‘pomimate, a straight Workingmen’s ticket. Certain members of the Coinmittee make no secret, oftheir intentions iu this direction, and it is dvemed highly probable that they will speceed in ‘their’ revolutionary plans. The lenger this trouble draws out the worse it seems to get fox or the few H. B's who are. keeping # stiff upper lip inaremarkably heroic man-. ner. —— es Not Uaauimows.
