THE PEOFLE A LERT.
The Union Antisnew Constitution
Meeting at Grass Walley a Demobsirvation that shows, which Way
the Wind Blows. . Sh cei
Nearly half a thousand ofthe merchants and ainers, mechanics and
professional iBeD,
pyd— mothers —and—sisters,went. to
‘Grass Valley by special train Tuesday
evetag to attend the anti-new Constitution «meeting. The Military
Hrass Band of this city accompavied
them. . A delegation of young boys
frou the pubdli¢ schools comprised a
part O° the excursionists. The little
‘fellows bore aloft trau~pare neies, up
on some of which were the fullowing Be nteuces:
“Dr OD caat can't make laws for us,’
ve e . ‘are ‘t » be your Future Ci tizens.’
es The New Constitution is the Enemy of’ Our
Schools.”
—+pon't Broak up Oar High Schools,”
‘No Shyster Laws for us.”
“Not too much Constitution for us.”
“No Class Leyis'ation Wanted."
f‘The New Constition Deprives us of Liberty.
“Free Excurision to Grass Valley —Chinamen aud Other Indians Excepted.”
**Let us Inherit the Liberty of our Fathers,”
“We don't take O’Donnell’s Medicine.”
On one of the transparaucies was
_the head ofa donkey, 1. sbelled ‘*Modern Cupstitution Maker,” and anotbef presyated the ugly mug of Denis
Kearney, bis tacea yard“ Jong, and
liis hair standing straight to such an
extent that the ends of it projected
above his long drawn out ears, the
written déecription © of this artistic
production ‘explaining that it repreponte nA Kearneyite Atter E lection.’
The Speaker’ 8 stand on Mill street
Grass Valley, was elegantly de curats
ed with bunting atid flowers. ‘It
stood on ‘the upposivs ‘s.de of the
pirest froni the Masonic and Odd
Fellows Hail) the front of which wag
bruliantly ifluminated with a series
of gas jets. ‘lie street was packs
with people ‘for a long distance
either side’ of the stand, the crowd
being variously estima el to nun
per from’ ,500"to 2,000.
JJ. Dorsey waa elected Chairman,
and after making a few remarks he
introduced Hua. E, C. Marshal who
delivered one ‘of the most effective
addresses of ‘tlie campaign. “Years
ago this gentivinda withdrew ‘rom’
the’ political arena, and settled down
to hiv law business. He had foresworn discussing public m stters, he
o gaid, but this occasion demanded especially that he should lend his «aid
in averting the dread calamity that
threatened the Sta e's welfare. He
did not d: viate from a line of plain,
substantial argument during his entire remarks, uoless it was to occasivaully direct at the ‘new Constitation one of his irresistible shafts of
tarcasm, As a thinker “he has no
poet ou'thé ‘Pacific Coast. ‘He has a
remarkable facility of making intelligible'to hie hearurs the ‘Bubject ‘of
taxation, ingo: pdratious, Chinese immigration,’ and’ all otber matters
treated upon #0 ‘absurdly by the new
“novel.” It has been characterized by
old residents of both sides ag one of
the most logical speeches vver deliv.
ered in Nevada county, “
Ata late hour the meeting adjourned, As the train iu returning
was passing the Idaho mine, :the
niédh employed there yreeted it with
cheer after cheer, and ignited a monster fire-ball that lighted up the
scene for a great distance. The excursionists ackuowledyed the token
of sympathy with enthusiastic
shouts.’ “ °

addressing for a delegation ‘from the
‘sandlots, and gauged his expressions
accordingly. The result was that the
intelligent portion of them were disgusted, and wrote the speaker down

says ‘Judge Niles Searls of Nevada

any other way, living in such a county and being’ An intelligent and repFesentative man. Nevada county
by the destruction of its many industries, would be ruined by the adoption of the new Constitutien. The

a handsome majority against the

If the election had taken place two

What it Will Cure.
There is but little, if any doubt,
that the new Constitution will cure
the smallpox in men, and the glanders in horses,
ally raised Howard and Terry from
their political graves, and it will
deubtless do several other fabulous
things. Unfortunately, it does not
propuse to do anything really useful
to the State.
Flocking Like Sheep.
The voters of Nevada county whe
Nave been with the new Constitution
previously are now flocking like
sheep to the ranks of order ‘ahd intelligence and justice. The Kearneyite leaders are avhining piteously,

Dennis Kearney, the hope of cemmunism, socialism, nihilism ard anarchy may become the Jaw of this
fair land. These men are frightened, and well they may be, and
sure, they have no time to talk
about anything else save the guestion that is holding every dear interest in peril. It is nolittle matter,

Fhe Idahe Mige Employes.
It has been stated Py certain ad-!
the employes of the idaho Mining
Company will many of them vpke in
favor of the Thing. We feel confident that the asserAqnis a barefaced
falsehood. The Idaho, under the
managewent of the Coleman Brothers, is one of the best mines in tke
State to work in. Their workmen
are treated like men, and not brutes.
ft is the very hight of folly for the
Kearneyites to attempt to make the
public believe that the Idaho: boys
will take any step calculated to inause * the men thay work for.
Me Took It.
Fhe Postmaster yesterday notified
a gentleman that he had a registered
letter dor him. ‘It was delivered to
him. Qn the outside of it the words
$35 were written. The letter was
partially opened and he was undecided about taking “it fearing it was
short of the amount which it called
for. He mustered up his courage
however, and finished the opening
of the letter and found. it contained
$45. He took it without grumbling

There will be s 3 rousing meeting at

about all the conveyances owned
from North Bilgamfield ta French

tolisten to Hon. A. B. Dibble and

An ‘Expensive Method.
Is D. 8. Terry of 1 so much importance to California that we must
