Reform.
By the lasty manner in which ‘the
ery of refarm is Made by Democrats,
one would imagine the word was a
new coinage, and was made on purpose to apply to the present condi-.
tion of the country.We believe in
reform. We believe it necessary in
every Yelatlon of life as it always has
beep, and always will be as. long a
_ But that
the present is’ more in need of re~ form, or that the Republican party .
_is the only organization in need of itwe dont believe,
mocracy. is not immaculate in its purity; «venjn-_our own State. The
Oakland Transcriptin the following
apparently is of the same opinion.
It says: ‘‘How is it about Democratic reform right here in California?
Under the administration of Goverp.
~ or Booth, and a Republican Legislature in 1873, the State tax was
‘ only fifty cents on the one hundred
dollars. Under Govertor. Irwin,
and a Democratic administration, it
has been raised to seventy cents on
the one hurdred dollars. ,
is a taste of the Democratic reform,
now bawled so lustily in our ears.
‘ Tax payers and voters, what kind of
reform is this? A Democratic Legislature creating-athousand and one
Commissions at good round salaries,
to make placés for impecunions
Democrats—-under the. name of reform! ergating useless Courts, with
a Judge at a high salary, and all the
Court supernumeraries, that goed

_ Page, was most enthusiastic.
%
meet the extra expense, the State
tax is raised from: fifty to seventy
cents, or just forty per cent. This
is the Democratio reform which we
hear so mach bawling about. They
have experienced the same kind of
reform in New York, where the debt
ofthe city was increased one hundred millious of dollars in six years,
under Democratic reform, with Sam.
Tilden, Boss Tweed and the other
ring thieves in control. A sweet
party to fit of reform! The word
should~stick in their throats and
choke the rascals to death. We
want no more of this kind of reform.
Lying Dispatches.
Our Democratic cotemporaries
feel fearfully bad because the Associated Press is under the control of
Republicans, und say that good Dem-¢
‘ocrats must remember that most of
the dispatches which come over the
wires between now and: November
will be Republican campaign. lies.”
Their talk on this question is just
about as reliable and consistent as it
generally is on other subjects. In
‘one paper making just that charge,
we noticed a grape vine telegram announcing with all soberness, that
Colorado had gone largely Deme. oratic, and that dispatch, in the face
of its improbability, was honesily believed by scores of innocent readers.
Our friends should not cry stop,
thief, until they empty their arms of
stolen plunder. ‘The talk about Republican campaign lies, sounds firstrate.

Congressman Page.
A press dispatch from Sonora,
stration last night in honor of Frank
The
mountain men came from all direc.
tions and gave Mr. Page an ovation
to be proud of. He was escorted from
Columbia in the afternoon, after
speaking to the citizens there, by a
procession and a band of music, acoompanied by Hon. Geo. CG. Gorham and Hon. Rienzi Hopkins, of
Calaveras: ‘The speaker’s stand was
elegantly decorated, and seats on the
streets in front were filled with hun‘dreds ot ladies. Mr. Page was received with cheers and delivered an
eloquent and convincing speech.
Mr. Hopkins followed with a sharp
address, and Mr. Gorham closed with
a keen and cutting speech.
Dr. Wm. A. Mublenberg, the
founder of St. Luke’s Hospita!, New
York, and the author of the beauti» fulbymo, “I would not live always

Tweep’s Retorn.—A Washington
‘*The appropriation made at the last
session of Congress for bringing home
from foreign couniries persons charged with, crimes, and expenses _ineidental thereto, was ouly $5000; but
it will be unnecessary to expend any
of this sum to bring Tweed and
Haunt from ‘Spain, as the -United
Statés steamer Franklin bad been
ordered home from the European
squadron just previous to_their arrest, and not having sailed when tbe
information of the arrest was received by the State Department, ahe was
ordered to proceed to Vigo and take
them on board, by the.Acting Secretary of the Navy, at the request of
the Secretary of State. Had no Government vessel been under orders to
return to the United States, it would
have keen necessary to send officers
for Tweed and his.companion, and
some expense, as wellas delay, would . .
have been incurred in having them
wane home.

Going to Fill Up.
We understand that the Central
Pacific Railroad’ Company has about
concluded to make a fill at Long Ravine, where their bridge crosses the
same, about one mile this side of
Colfax. ‘The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad crosses under
that Long Ravine bridge, and if the
Céntral Company makes a fill of the
ravine instead of constructing an
iron bridge; the Narrow Gauge Company will have to build an extensive
archway. The Central is compelled
by law to construct an iron bridge or
to make a fillat the place mentioned.—G@, V.Union,

a strict Democratic vote. In the

was loyal to the Union. Of his opponent Goode, in a speech just delivered, suid: ‘‘Can you cast your

in 1861, and voted men and. money

In urging him upon the Democrats
there, the Petersburg Jndewand Appeal tells the following anecdote:
“In 1864, just after the battle of the
Wilderness, a party of gentlemen
were assembled in a room at Willard’s
and in the course of an animated
conversation one of them used the
following language: ‘Gentlemen,
the mistake we made was. that we
did not turn McClellan with his fine
army on Washington and clean out
the wholething,’ meaning the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, He
who gave utterance to this patriotic
remark was Samuel J; ‘filden, for
which in fature ages he will ever be
held in respect and veneration by
the patriots of the couutry.”’
Wuart has the. Democratic House
of Representatives accomplished? It
hes accomplished the return of the
following-pamed prominent gentlemen to the Republican party: Géneral Banks, Representative Seelyee,
‘Senator Booth, Carl Shurz, Senator
. Fenton, Dewitt C. Littlejohn, Chauncey M. Depew, Stanley Mathews,
General Cox of Ohio, General Tuttlé, of Iowa, and thousands of others
of equal influence. q
Rorsrsrrorp B. Hares is a pat‘menced, Rutherford B. Hayes said,
“I would rather go inte this war and
be killed in the course of it than
live through it and have taken no
part init.’’ Compare that with Mr.
Tilden’s refusal to sigu the call for
tbe Union meeting in New York.
All the Democratic snakes, with
their forked and poisonous tongues
stuck out, have not found in the
reputation of Gov. Hayes a crevice
in which to deposit the poison of their
malignity. Imagine a man so pure
that the Democratic party cannot
lie about him!—Ingersoll’s speech
