HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
toral vote intended for him was cast for various persons.
CAMPAIGN OF 1873-" DOLLY VARDENS."
The election of 1873 was for Legislative, county and district officers. The Legislature would elect a United States Senator to succeed the term of Eugene Casserly, which would expire March 3, 1875. The chief political question was that of opposition to the power and management of the Central Pacific Rail- road Company and the election of Governor Booth to the Senate. For this a party was organized call- ing itself the Independent People's party, with the expressed object of opposing "monopolies, rings. corruption and extravagance in office." This organ- ization bore the common appellation of " Dolly Var- den." The new party held a Convention at Auburn, called by the members of the late Democratie and Liberal Republican County Committee, and nomin- ated a ticket composed of eight Democrats and five Republicans.
The statute for the election of Supervisors had been changed by the last Legislature, and now the county was divided into five districts, electing a Supervisor in each, who were required to draw lots for the length of term each should hold. The sys- tem, however, lasted only through one term, and in 1875 but three Supervisors were elected, taking office in January, 1876.

JUDICIAL ELECTION.
The judicial election for Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed Belcher was held October 15, 1873. The Republicans nominated Samuel II. Dwinelle, of San Francisco: the Independent People's party nom- inated E. W. MeKinstry, of San Francisco, and the Democrats S. B. McKee, of Alameda. The Repub- licans also nominated Anson Brunson to succeed Judge Crockett, who had been elected for an unex- pired or short term; but the Court had decided that there was no short term, and therefore there was but one Judge to be elected at this election. The result in the State was the election of MeKin- stry, receiving 28,901; Dwinelle, 16,189; Brunson, 15,078; McKee, 21,850.
The vote in Placer County was as follows :-
Justice of Supreme Court-E. W. Mckinstry (1 D), 1,052; Samuel II. Dwinelle ( R), 386; Anson Brun- son (Ri, 368: Samuel Bell MeKee ( D), 97.
THE LEGISLATURE-SENATORS ELECTED.
The Legislature met December 1, 1873. and organ- ized by the election of William Irwin, Demoerat, President pro tem. of the Senate and MI. M. Estee, Republican, Speaker, and Win. M. Crutcher, of Placer, Sergeant-at Arms of the Assembly. The parties were represented by 18 Republicans, 14 Democrats and 8 Independents in the Senate; and 19 Republicans, 27 Democrats and 34 Independents in the Assembly. The combinations for organization and the election of a United States Senator were announced to be monopoly and anti-monopoly, or friends and oppo- nents of the railroad company. Soon after the organization of the Legislature the resignation of Eugene Casserly as United States Senator was made known. making it necessary to elect a Senator for the unexpired term. The election of Senator for the full term was effected December 20th, after many ineffectual ballotings, the final vote being: For Newton Booth (Ind), G1; James T. Farley (D), 37; James MeM Shafter (R), 20; and on the 23d John S. Ilager, Democrat, of San Francisco, was elected to serve the unexpired term of Senator

POLITICAL HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY
Casserly. R. O. Cravens, of Placer, was re-elected State Librarian for the term of four years.
CAMPAIGN OF 1875-COMPLICATED PARTIES.
The campaign of 1875 was interesting from the complication of parties, the secrets of political manip- ulation exposed, personal animosities engendered, the power of monopolies in the control of' nomina- tions, and the results. In no campaign in the his- tory of the State were the parties more subordinated to personal and selfish control. There were to be elected a Governor and State officers, Members of Congress, a Legislature, county officers, Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, District and County Judges, and Justices of the Peace. Three State and Congressional tickets were in the field. The Republican State Convention met at Sacramento June 11th, and to the general surprise was organized, under the motion of George C. Gorham, by the elce- tion of A. A. Sargent as Chairman. T. G. Phelps, of San Mateo, was nominated for Governor; J. M. Cavis, of San Joaquin, Lieutenant-Governor; O. Il. Hallett, of Butte, Secretary of State; J. J. Green, of Marin, Controller; W. M. Beckman, of Sacra- mento, Treasurer; E. D. Sawyer, of San Francisco. Attorney-General; Robert Gardner, of Humboldt, Surveyor-General; Grant I. Taggart, of Shasta, Clerk of Supreme Court, and Ezra S. Carr, of Alameda, for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
11. F. Page, of El Dorado, was nominated for Con- gress for the Second District.
The management of the Convention, and the nominations, to a great extent, were so offensive to many Republicans that an Independent Conven- tion was called. which met at Sacramento on the 22d of June and made the following nominations: For Governor, John Bidwell, of Butte; Lieutenant. Governor, Romualdo Pacheco, of Santa Barbara; Secretary of State, Wm. Roush, of Placer; Con- troller, Lauren E. Crane, of Sierra; Treasurer, Ferdi- nand Bachr, of Shasta; Attorney-General, Peter Van Chief, of' Yuba; Surveyor-General, Edward Twitchell, of Sacramento; Clerk of Supreme Court, Paul Mor- rill, of Sacramento, and for Superintendent of Pub- lie Instruction, J. M. Guinn, of Los Angeles.
Charles A. Tuttle, of Alameda, formerly of Placer. was nominated for Congress in the Second District.
The Democratic State Convention met at San Fran cisco, June 29th, and nominated: For Governor. Wm. Irwin, of' Siskiyou; Lieutenant-Governor. James A. Johnson, of San Francisco, Secretary of State, Thomas Beck, of Monterey; Controller, J. W. Man- deville, of Tuolumne; Treasurer, J. M. Estudillo, of San Diego; Attorney-General, Jo Hamilton, of Placer; Surveyor-General, William Minis, of Yolo; Clerk of Supreme Court, B. D. Woolf, of San Francisco; Superintendent of Public Instruction, O. P. Fitzger- ald, of San Francisco.
Ilenry Larkin, of El Dorado, was nominated for Congress in the Second District.
The charges, common in the canvass, were that
the Republican nominees were entirely under the control of the railroa I company, and that the Dem- ocratie candidate for Governor had been given the nomination by the same company in reward for services while State Senator.
By an Act of the Legislature of 1874, Placer County was deprived of one Senator and two Assemblymen, leaving but one Assemblyman to elect in 1875; also for the election of three Super- visors to take office on the first Monday of Febru- ary, 1876, one to hold two and the other four years. and thereafter the terms to be four years each. The office of collector was returned to the Sheriff.

The polit- ical eleetion was held September 1, 1875, resulting in the success of the Democratic State nominees, by the following vote: For Governor, Irwin (D), 61,509; Phelps, (R), 31,322; Bidwell (Ind), 29,752; Lovett ( Tem), 356.

HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
JUDICIAL ELECTION, 1875.
The judicial election was held on the following 20th of October. Placer and Nevada Counties, com- prising the Fourteenth Judicial District, were required to eleet a District Judge, and for this office the Republicans nominated James E. Hale, of Placer, and the Democrats, T. B. Reardan, of Nevada. J. M. Guinn had withdrawn as candidate for Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, and E. S. Carr was elected.
The following are the returns of the election :--
District Judge-T. B. Reardan (D), in Placer 826, in Nevada 1,396; James E. Ilale (R), in Placer 974, in Nevada 1,129.
Superintendent of Public Instruction-Ezra S. Carr ( R), 1,151; O. P. Fitzgerald (D), 642.
County Judge-J. Ivis Fitch (R), 1,283; L. B. Arnold ( D), 473.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature met December 6, 1875, and organ- ized by the election of B. F. Tuttle, of Sonoma, as President pro tem. of the Senate, G. J. Carpenter, of El Dorado, Speaker, and W. Dana Perkins, of Placer, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly. Both bodies were largely Democratic, the partisan representation being 23 Democrats. 9 Independents, and & Republicans, in the Senate; 65 Democrats, 11 Republicans, and 4 Independents in the Assembly.
THE DEBRIS QUESTION.
During the session the " debris question " was introduction in the Assembly by C. P. Berry, of Sutter, with the remarkable statement that the mining debris annually washed into the bays at the mouth of the Sacramento River was equivalent to a solid body of earth one mile square and forty feet in thickness, and that at the rate mining was going on in fifteen years Suisun Bay would be filled; and that but thirty-one years would be required to com- plete the destruction of San Pablo Bay. Hle also estimated the value of land destroyed by the debris at 86,350,000, and the expense of leveeing made necessary by it at $2,000,000. The statements were regarded as extravagant and the intervening years have so proven them. The question is elsewhere notierd in this work. Among the persistent ques- tions appearing in the Legislature was one fixing the rates of fares and freights on railroads, but like its predecessors, was defeated by the friends of the railroad company.
WILLIAM M. CRUTCHER.
Few names among those who have been active in business and politics in Placer County are better known than the one that heads this notice. Will- lum MeDowell Crutcher was born December 19, 1828, near Elizabethtown, Hardin County, Ken- tucky, coming of old Virginia stock, his father hav- ing been born in the Old Dominion in 1803, his mother being a native of Kentucky. Ilardin County in the days of our subject's youth was then
far advanced in prosperity and enlightenment, well endowed with schools and academies, and in these Mr. Crutcher received his education, graduating from the Elizabethtown Academy, in 1847. There he remained, absorbing the elements of probity and manhood, so characteristic of his section, until 1853, when he transferred his home and allegiance to California, crossing the plains, and arriving at Placerville on the 20th of September of that year. His first field of enterprise was in Shasta, where he engaged in mining, and there remained until the Ist of April, 1854, when he removed to Placer County, which has been his home from that date. The rich and promising mining town of Wisconsin Hill was the place he sought, and there he delved until, in 1857, he removed to lowa IIill, and thence, in 1859, to Auburn.
There were attachments, however, that drew him baek to lowa Hill, for there he was married- seeking the " Happy New Year" for the happy event-to Miss Mary Elizabeth Currier, the cere- mony being performed by the Rev. Mr. McClay, the Methodist Episcopal Clergyman of the place. The fair bride was a native of Quincy, Massachusetts, daughter of Judge John B. Currier, Associate Justice of the county, then of Iowa Hill, but now a resident of San Francisco. The day of the wedding was auspicious of the happy and prosperous future as the pleasant home in Auburn gives proof to the many visitors who are so royally entertained at that hos- pitable mansion. Mrs. Crutcher is a most refined and worthy lady, adding to her many accomplish- ments that of being a skilled musician, an adornment to the social circle of which she is a prominent member, and, with her husband, fond of society and the entertainment of friends.
The social and political career of Mr. Crutcher has been steadily onward and upward, and consis- tent. As soon as the proper age would permit he became a member of the Order of Free and Accepted Masons, joining that venerable Order in Garrettsville, Meade County, Kentucky, and during his long period of membership has filled nearly all the chairs of the Lodge.
Politieally, he started in life as a Whig, having been born in a locality where, if a person did not subseribe for the Louisville Journal and vote for llenry Clay, he would be socially ostracized. Upon the collapse of the Whig party he became a Demo- erat and a strong advocate of the principle of anti- monopoly. In these ranks he has trained these many years, and good need has Placer had of her firm and brave monopoly-resisting citizens. The political and financial history of the county shows the war they have engaged in and the results accomplished. As evidence of his ability in political matters is the faet of his being Chairman of the Democratie County Central Committee for a number of years, and the many positions he has held proves the confidence reposed in him by the people.
135
POLITICAL HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY.
His first office was that of Deputy Sheriff, to which position he was appointed by Sheriff King in June, 1857, which he held during the term, performing most efficient service in the arduous duties then required of fighting criminals, collecting foreign miners' licenses, and others of like dangerous and annoying character. These adventures would con- stitute a romantic story of early California life. The fight with and death of " Rattlesnake Dick," in which Mr. Crutcher was wounded, and his com . panion, George M. Martin, Deputy Tax Collector, killed, is told elsewhere in this book. With the expiration of the term of Charles King as Sheriff, June 2, 1859, and the accession to the office of I .. L. Bullock, Mr. Crutcher was continued in the office as deputy during the two terms of that officer. At the election in 1862 Ilenry Gooding was chosen Sheriff, as a Union Democrat, and upon taking office Mr. Crutcher was made Under Sheriff, and contin- ued in that position until, by a change in the election laws, his principal was cut short of his full term, and in the following year the Republicans obtained full control. For some years the political elements per- mitted Mr. Crutcher to attend to his private affairs, which he industriously and successfully improved; but a change in the political tide brought him for- ward, and in 1873 he became Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly. and in 1875 was elected on the Inde- pendent ticket as Member of that body, serving with honor through the twenty-first session of the Legis- lature.
Such has been the active and honorable career of Wm. M. Crutcher, now a stalwart anti-monopoly Democrat, a prosperous business man, and an esteemed citizen of Auburn.
The residence of Mr. Crutcher (illustrated) is situ- ated upon a beautiful site in the eastern part of the village of Auburn, on a ten-acre plat, highly culti- vated, being so located as to be easily irrigated by the water from a spring owned jointly by Mr. Crutcher and George W. Reamer. The same spring also supplies water for the railroad company's large tank at the depot grounds. Mr. Crutcher has grow- ing upon his place an infinite variety of fruit trees, including two varieties of persimmons; many kinds of choice grapes; black and English walnuts; sixty orange trees, and all sorts of shrubbery that can be found in the nurseries which will withstand the frosts of this altitude.
CAMPAIGN OF 1876-CENTENNIAL YEAR.
The campaign of 1876 was interesting as the Cen- tennial year of American Independence, and also as it brought again the election of a President of the United States, and, in California, of four Members of Congress. The Republican State Convention for electing delegates to the National Convention, to meet at Cincinnati June 16th, met at Sacramento on the 25th of April. Hon. W. C. Norton, of Placer, presided. The National Convention met at the appointed time and nominated Rutherford B. Hayes, |
of Ohio, for President, and William A. Wheeler, of New York, for Vice-President. The Democratic State Convention met at San Francisco May 24th, and appointed delegates to the National Convention which met at St. Louis June 27th, and nominated Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, for President, and Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana. for Vice-Presi- dent.
In the Second Congressional District II. F. Page, of El Dorado, was nominated by the Republicans, and G. J. Carpenter, of El Dorado, by the Democrats, for Congress. In consequence of the death of J. W. Mandeville, State Controller, the Republicans nom - inated D. M. Kenfield, of Tuolumne, to fili the posi- tion, and the Democrats named W. B. C. Brown.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, 1876.
The election was held November 7, 1876, resulting in the election of Hayes and Wheeler, they receiv- ing 185 electoral votes and Tilden and Hendricks 184. The disputes and settlement of this election belong to the national history.
The vote of California was: For Hayes, 79.269; Tilden, 76,465; Peter Cooper, 47, and others, 19, making a total vote of 155,800. In the Second District Page was re-elected to Congress, receiving 20,815 votes, and Carpenter 15,916.

WORKINGMEN'S PARTY.
During the campaign a serious riot occurred at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, caused by a strike among railroad employés, followed by other strikes through- out the country. causing great excitement among the dissatisfied elements of the large cities of Cali - fornia, which resulted in the organization of the " Workingmen's Party."

JUDICIAL ELECTION.
The judicial election was held October 17th, mak- ing three general elections in the county during the campaign. Justices of the Peace were elected in the several townships.
JAMES T. FARLEY, SENATOR.
The Legislature organized December 3, 1877. by the election of E. J. Lewis, of Tehama, President pro tem of the Senate, and Campbell B. Berry, of
Sutter, as Speaker of the Assembly. On the 19th the Legislature met in Joint Convention, and elected James T. Farley, of Amador, United States Senator, to succeed Aaron A. Sargent, whose term would expire March 3, 1879.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The State having voted to call a Constitutional l'onvention by a majority of 7,000, an Act was passed providing for the election of 152 members to meet at the Capitol on the 28th of September. The election for these delegates was ordered to be held on the third Wednesday of June, 1878. The representa- tion was one for each Senator and Assemblyman, and eight at large in each of the four Congressional Dis- triets, making thirty-two at large. The Constitu- tion prepared by this Convention was ordered to be submitted to the vote of the people for approval or rejection on the first Wednesday of May, 1879.
CAMPAIGN OF 1878.
The campaign of 1878 was for the election of del- egates to the Constitutional Convention. The rise of the " Workingmen's Party," which had its origin in the riotous and communistic elements -- chiefly for- eigners -- of San Francisco, had caused a feeling of fear and uneasiness throughout the State where it had spread, and the Republican and Democratic parties combined against it in their nominations of delegates. The new party was largest in the cities, and there was most pronounced in its threatenings of revolution and desolation, and these seriously affected the prosperity of the whole State. The alleged cause of the uprising was bad legislation. corruption in public places, the overpowering influ- ence of monopolies in politics, the aggregation of wealth in individuals and corporations, and the dis- tress of labor caused by the presence of the Chinese. These allegations, plausible, and, in a manner, true, drew many men of reason and patriotism to the sup- port of the Workingmen, giving it respectability in the country and temporary strength.
