Stabbing Attray.
The Daily Transeript
NEVADA CITY, CAL.
On Tuesday evening, about eight
o'clock, our usually quiet town was
startled by the report of an affray on
Commercial street, which resulted in
the fatal stabbing of Thgmas Stewartson, a miner employed by the
Manzavita Mining Company. The.
name of the party who did the cutting is Mathew Young, who worked.
inthe Manzanita last Winter, but
who has since been in Virginia City
and other places, but returned. here
day, before yesterday. It appears
that on the evehing in question,
Stewartson was in the store of Mrs.
Black, on. Commercial street, in conea
Thursday, June 17, 1875 .
Proxies,
We concur with the Bulletin in the
Jbelief that men elected to attend a
\eonvention have no right to delegate
to others the right to represent them.
It is through this practice that the
wishes of the people are thwarted.
"A man elected to the Legislature bas
as mach right to give a proxy s one
a good deat of feeling manifested,
and it was probably well that the
party doing the deed was safely
lodged in a secure place. About 2
o’clock Wednesday morning, it being-consideted that recovery was im. .
possible; Justice Davenport took the
statement of the wounded man,
which we believe corresponds with .
theabove facts. Last evening the
wounded man was doing well, and
some hopes were entertained of his
recovery. :
Lecal Brevities.
. Another heavy shower visited this
place on Tuesday night, and there
were + howers daring the day yester—
“elected to attend a convention, It is
folly to talk about the people purifyer _-dng-parties by attending primaries
-. nd electing staunch men to repre~
gent their wishes in nomivating con~yentions, when delegates can—tarn
around and ‘authorize others to attend such conventions who would
° not have received a single yote for
~guch a purpose. In this county the:
late Republican Convention was very
a . careful in the selection of delegates.
But when the State Convention met,
ome whom it was sought to keep
‘out bad seats, and did mot represent
the interests of the people. No wonder honest voters are disgusted aud
disposed to reject all that was. done
by tricksters. If thedate convention
at Sacramento had been run by those
‘who were properly elected, all wouia
now be well. Thera wasa growiby
versution with-another gentleman.
Young, in passing the store,—recogbands cordially, and Stewartson ask-.
¢d-some questions about what Young ee
had been doing since he-teft, and. — Tbhere-was_a eave at the North

the
feeling of ‘confidence among the
friends of the, Republican party of
this county, after the County Con~~ wention-had done its work. The .
ynembers of that body were caretu: in
E the selection. of their delegates to
the State Convention. They cume
from all partsof the county and
knew the seutiments of their constituents. ‘They came determined
to select men who had no favors. to
ask, or combinations to put up, but
who would act only for the best in teresis of the party. It was sought
te throw overbeard old leaders whose
" course heretofore had been objectiouable to one wing of the party and elect
new ones who would try to heal the
differences existing init. They carried
out the wishes of a majority of the
party, and had the State Convention been run on the same principle,
there would to-day, we believe, bea
mento. Proxies let men into’ that
body who did not represent the wish.¢3 of the people, and the result is the
party is worse divided than ever, and
