Misrepresentation of Grove Johnson Is Sherwood’s Great Forte, From the time Grove L. Johnson was nominated. for Congress, Tom Sherwood, editor of the Marysville Democrat, has misrepresented him on every question. Although claiming to be a Republican, holding office for years under a Republican administration and making many speeches for the Republicans during the last campaign, he openly by chin-music and through his paper advocated the election of Caminetti, “the Democratic opponent of Johnson. This was base treachery enough for;one man, but Sherwood is the single exception to all rules, and therefore must add more infamy to his course in life. Sherwood knows that the dispatch sent by Johnson to.the editor of the TRANSCRIPT was true in every particular, and yet Sherwood pursues his contemptible course by publishing the following base and uncalled for misrepresentation of the true facts, just for the sake of trying to injure Congressman Johnson: In the Democrat of last evening a telegram sent from Washington by Congressman Johnson was published, the language contained in it being far from complimentary to that gentle-. The matter is again referred to that the Democrat can expose, what on the face appears to be an attempt to deceive the friends of the hydraulic mining industry. In the telegram sent Saturday last to Editor Brown of the Nevada City Transcript, he evidently intended to convey the impression that the $250,000 appropriation by Congress is in the interest of hydraulic mining, when it is not true. The wording of the dispatch was plain, being as follows: “River and Harbor Bill ariel peneet, with $250,000 for restraining dams. Had he desired to convey +65 Mr. Brown the true meaning of the appropriation Mr. Johnson would have said the money is to be expended in the betterment of the Yuba and Feather rivers, which he knows to be a fact. When he said the $250,000 was for restraining dams he really conveyed the impression that the money is to be used to rehabilitate hydraulic min. ing, yet he recently has stated. that such is not the case. In a letter to the editor of the Democrat Mr. Johnson said the question had been presented to the Committee on Rivers and Harbors by Senator Ford, when he made an able argument in behalf of the hydraulic mining industry. The committee informed the delegation who were with Mr. Ford that Congress had not the right to appro-. priate money from the public treasury for the purpose of enabling private enterprises of hydraulic mining to be conducted, but that Congress could appropriate money to preserve the = . . .

Sr. Lous, Mo., May 28.—The cyclone which swept over this city about five o’clock last evening left a scene of ruin rivers. It was on this representation that Senator Ford and the delegation abandoned the bill prepared by the . Miners Association and introduced by Cougréssman Johnson, which bill was) known as “an Act to appropriate money ($1,030,000) for the construction of works to impound mining debris.” And it was because of this established precedent of Congress that Senator Ford concurred in the recommendation that the appropriation be passed asa river improvement measure, the basis of work to be the report: of the Biggs Commission. This paper regrets that it has cause to criticize Mr. Johnson relative to this measure, yet it has a duty to perform to its readers which it will not shirk for friend or foe. If any person believes the $250,000 appropriation will be used for any other purpose than the betterment of the Yuba and Feather rivers they will be disappointed, which fact Congressman Johnson knows and should have stated.
