NEVADA CITY, CALIFORAIA.
aa
~~ Saturday, October 30, 1880.
——
A Democratic Opinicn,
The New York Sun, which has
carefully noted the Garfield forgery,
said in Wednesday morning’s issue:
“Garfield is not at least as vile oF
detestable as he who in order to de~
feat Garfield, forges a “letter in. bis
name. The heaven-born principles
of Democracy, the doctrines of liberty, of equal rights, of exact justice,
freed no leprous support ftom falsi* fiers and forgers. True Democrats
pant for victory ior the sake of their
own countryinen and not for the
ygkce-of oppressed humanity throughefit. the world; butte be glorious it
must be a victory nobly won, with
God aud not the devil at its right
hand.” ss
The same paper of Thursday con~
“Forgery,
technically, the manufacture of the
letter falsely attributed to Garfield,
may not be. The bare actmay not
exactly constitute that crime, and
the-vilest of eriminals.must_not be
puni-hed illegally. But we do not.
see why the chargeof criminal lib.}
against the maker, who afterward
called Gartield a liar because he de~
nied the authership, cannot be maintained. If he can. be punished legally, no person more richly deserves to pay the severest of penalties.”
“Wr HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO
PROTECT OURSELVES FROM bEING
OVERGUN BY ALIKN HORDES }RoM
ASIA As AGAINST GRASSHOPPERS OR
ANY OTHER THREATENEL DANGER.”
—James A. Garfield’s opinion ou the
Chinese question.

A Democratic Confession.
Most people interested ia mines
* hereabouts know who I. M, Ho’comb
of New York city is: For the bene~
fit of those who do not, we will say
that he visited this city recently,and
spent some time examining various
mines and secured aninterest in severe
al properties. He is a man of means,
intelligence and honesty, and made
many warm friends during his Stay.
His principal. fault consists in the
fact that he is an uncompromising
Democrat, and has always been one
so far.as his record’ can be traced.
During the past twenty years of Democratic disaster he has universally
‘been hopeful, and no matter how
gloomy the outlook he always protested that his party was just on
the eve of victory. This year, in
common with other honest Democrats-for there are some honest{Demleft—Mr, Holcomb sees the handwriting on the wall, In a private
letter to a friend here, received yesterday, he says:
“Hancock stock is very low here
{in New York] at present, but we
hope to raise it some by Tuesday.”

——
A recent issue of the Meriden,
Miss., Mercury contains the following extracts: ‘‘Make no miore cowardly concessions that Sedession was
revolution and folly; ne more selfaccusations of having committed
treason, The people of the North
refuse to believe us and affect to believe, if we could control the Government to any extent, to such extent we would impair it, Then let
us cease to concern ourselves -about
the National credit, neither upholding or pulling it down ;so if it can
stand without our active concern
about it, let it stand, and welcome,
and if it can’t, let it fall and be
damaed. Discourage the idea that a
# position in the Federal Govetnment
is higher than in the State Governmest. LKlevate the State pride ua-—
til one feels it more honorable to be
a Mississippian than a.citizen of. the
United States,”
-Tuere ARK hundreds of good,
honest Democrats in-the State who
have been voting the party ticket as
au matter of course, and who don’t
know what has been going on in the
inside, One by one these are ascertainitig the facts, and the more they
see the more are they surprised that
shey have remained members of the
apostate Democratic party. ‘It is
not the same party that they joined,
aud they are giad to get out of it.
**He [Hancock] is a very weak and
very ambitious man.”—Gen. Grant.

The Speeches of Senators Sears and
Conger — Some Pewertul Arge*
thents Eleqaently Presented.
The Republican meeting in’ this
city Thursday evening was called to
order by. E. Bond, . The following
officers Were elected:' Chas E. Mulloy, Chairman; J. B. Patterson, AY
A. Smith, Joseph Thomas, and
‘Joseph Worrel, Vice Presidents;
Leonard §. Calkins, Secretary.
Hon. W. H. Sears, who. previous
to 1865 was a resident of Nevada
county and represented out people
in the -fegistature, -was the first
speaker He said he was-glad to see
the Republicans still supporting the
noble principles of their party with
the. same earnestness. and prospects
of success that they did in early
days. The approaching election was
one of great importance for local as
‘well as national reasons. ‘Three Assemblymen were to_be elected to assist in legislating on the debris question, which would surely come up
It is the understanding that the General Government will heféafter proers and farmers from the resul's of
the evil. Republicanadministrations
naturally favored the doctrines of internal improvements. A Republican
United Senator, whose election depends on ‘our sending Republican Assemblymen to Sacramento, would
have gentiine influence with the adniinistration, which would surely be
of this grave prob'em, Mr. Sears
‘further pointed out the fact that
General Miller commanded the Union
forces at the battle of Stone River,
and that Terry, who won his repntation in this State by murdering
Broderick, commanded a portion of
the Rebels. Now one was an elector on the Republican ticket, the
other on the Democratic. Broderick [
was ostracised from the Democratic
party because he proclaimed that he
could not vote for anything but freedom and free labor in the territories,
and he was murdered because he entertained those views. “Terry’s fellow. candidates were of the same
stripe that he was, while the Republican nominees were all loyal
men. In joint discussion with Judge
Wallace the other night Mr. Sears .
had, charged the Democracy with extravagance in administrating public
affairs; with being responsible for
the presence of the Chinese, and
with endeavoring to break up the
Union. Mr. Wallace made a lame
reply on the point regarding the
Chinese, and failed to. refer to any
of the others. The speaker went on
at considerable length to ably discuss
these various points, and plainly
demonstrated the Democratic party
to be anything but the friend of free
labor, white or black. He coneluded by saying it looked as though the
Republicans had bought Ohio and
Indiana for $329, and that all the
Northern States were to be thrown
in. ~ Sectional animosity should be
‘stopped; but the bleudy shirt, which
is the symbol of national integrity
must not be buried till there is free
speech and a fair ballot in the South.
Hon. C. C, Conger, Workingmen’s
Senator from San Francisco, was the
next-epeaker. He said he was here
as-a representative of the best interests of the Worki: gmen’s Party of
California. The Nation was at
stake now, however, and it behooved
him and every other loyal citizen to
unite with the party of freedom that
was striving to preserve the Union.
He had vote! the National Republican ticket for twenty years past, and
would continne to vote it fill this
main issue was settled. He claimed
the same right to be with the Republicaus in. this fight that other
Workingmen did to be with the Democracy which latter party first, last
and all the time opposed the welfare ani independence of the laboring classes, °Mauy of the principles
proclaimed by Hancock for campaign
purposes wete directly against those
of the party that nominated him.
Bat no man could deny tat if elected the Democracy would run Han=
cock instead of vice versa. Gartield
said he was opposed to the Chinese,
. Hancovk said nothing. State legislation had been tried“in this matter
and failed, and unless the commission now in China succeeded, Congress must break the treaty. Mr.
Conger gave many substantial reasous why the Democratic party had
no cluims on the Workingmen, and
made a brief but powerful argument
in favor of Republicanism,
The meeting adjourned with nine
enthusiastic cheers. ‘Aa attempt
was made while. the meeting was
closing to get up three cheers for
Hancock, but the hurrahs were stillborn,
Accessories After the Fact.
The New York Tribune of Thureday says: ™ og
The arrest of the s@called journalisf'connected with the mewspaper
which published the forged Chinese
letter is the result of some days of
excellent.deteetive work. The evidence that this man forged the letter
there seems to be reason to hope
that he will pay the penalty of his
crime im composing a malicious libel
‘pon Garfield. This much should
be done in the interest of public de¢ency. . But after all, how inade~
quate such punishment will be when
contrasted with the offense. ‘The im:
prisonment of an obscure newspaper
writer will atone for his crime, but]
what shall be said of his accessuries
after the fact, who are to be numbered by thousands, and some of
whom stand high in, the community?
Tie Democratic National Committee
participated in this man’s crime.
‘Knowing that Garfield denounced
the letter as a forgery, they persist—
ed in publishing it broadcast, even’
‘after it had been proved by every evidenee which would have been competent in a Court of law that Garfield could not have written it. .

me explain, Last year the newConatitutionists and Workingmen combined, some of whom were Workingmen and some of whom wWere new
Constitutionists, ‘‘bilks” as Kearney
called them, Among these new
Constitutionists were Conaway for
Senator and Sweetland.for Assemblyman. After getting the nomination Conaway fought like a man for
the ticket, but Sweetland went to
work to put upa ‘‘trade combination” of several candidates on different tickets, the result of which was
the defeat of A. R. Lord and others
of the Workingmen’s candidates. It
is notorious that Sweetland did nothing for the success of the party who
nominated him last Fall, and repu.
diated them in Sacramento.
As to his advocacy of the debris
settlement, those who ksow him
best consider that he did nothing
more than to come near making the
debris bill ridiculous by using it to
advertise himself. TRUTH.

The South Wants: Chinese Immigration,
‘The project’of at once bringing ten
thousand Chinese coolies from Cuba
to Louisiana is n> longer a secret. It
is now openlydiscussed and admitted to be true. The solid South
wants Chinese labor ; it also wants
the votes of th: workingmen of Califo-nia to enable its Congressmen and
Senators to change the naturalization law and enable coolies to vote
their employers’ ticket. When this
has been accomplished there will be
no greater respect paid to the. “‘poor
whites” of the Pacific slope. than
there was to the “poor whites” of
the ou slave States. The Chinese
vote will more than counterbalance
their political influence, which, in @
short time, would cease to exist, be~
cause they would be starved out.—
Bearing in mind the silence of Hanthe contracts for coolies by Southern 1
planters, it is the manifest purpose
of the Democratie party to encourage
Chinese immigration, give the Chimudsills of creation.

The Virginia City Enterprise of
Wednesday says: _ es
“The Nevada ‘Transcript has for
some time been advocating the purSd
highwaymen—of that county. As
Wells, Fargo & €o.-are the greatest
losers by the highwaymen, perhaps
it would be well for. that firm to
tion. . It might be money made by
them to purchase thirty or forty
bloodhounds and have them stationed on the routes most-frequently attacked by these road agents, whose
depredations often defy the skill of
and frequently for all time. If that
firm should see fit to adopt this suggestion, it would not be necessary
to advertise the fact. A few A
tures in this way, however, would
be a warning to the highwaymen
that the business had ceased to be
a paying one because of the certainty
of capture. ae
