Workingmen’s Mecting, The Workirgmen's Cinb of Nevada City met at their Hall about 9 o'clock Saturday, evening, and remained in session until midnight. There was a fair attendance. The object of the meeting was to take action on a set of resolutions emanating from Plug Hat Brigadier Hamilton and sent a few dayssince to the various representative Workingmen of the county. These resolutions are essentially to the effect that the Workingmen’s State ticket as it now stands shall be razed and one composed principally of H. B.’s Candidates put forward in its place. They constitute nothing more nor less. than a cold-blooded attempt on the part of Hamilton to steal a march on the unsuspecting Kearneyites, Messrs, Martin, McCutchan, Nihel, Smith and others indulged in a lively discussion during the evening, and the result was that the ‘‘give away” was postponed, Auother meeting was called for last evening, when it 's likely some definite steps were pioneers of California.

Workingmen’s Mecting, The Workirgmen's Cinb of Nevada City met at their Hall about 9 o'clock Saturday, evening, and remained in session until midnight. There was a fair attendance. The object of the meeting was to take action on a set of resolutions emanating from Plug Hat Brigadier Hamilton and sent a few dayssince to the various representative Workingmen of the county. These resolutions are essentially to the effect that the Workingmen’s State ticket as it now stands shall be razed and one composed principally of H. B.’s Candidates put forward in its place. They constitute nothing more nor less. than a cold-blooded attempt on the part of Hamilton to steal a march on the unsuspecting Kearneyites, Messrs, Martin, McCutchan, Nihel, Smith and others indulged in a lively discussion during the evening, and the result was that the ‘‘give away” was postponed, Auother meeting was called for last evening, when it 's likely some definite steps were pioneers of California.
