And on September 1st, the buildings were handed over by the contractors.
By an Act of the Legislature, approved April 28, 1857, the Supervisors of the county of Yuba were authorized to subscribe a sum of $200,000 to a railroad company which should connect the city of Marysville, and either the city of Benicia or any point on the Sacramento River, at or near Knight's Ferry or Sacramento City. In May, of the same year, the Super- visors of Solano county proposed that $250,000 worth of stock should be taken in the Sacramento and San Francisco Railroad, another company which had been started with warm advocates in Benicia. The newspapers of the time ardently urged the adoption of this scheme, and its submission to the vote of the people, which was afterwards done, and carried by a large majority. In a little while the Marysville company awoke to a sense of their danger in the opposition of the contemplated Sacramento road, when the former association filed their articles of incorporation forthwith, and commenced operations. The road is set forth as commencing at Marysville, and extending through Yuba, Sutter, Yolo, and Solano counties, to a point on the San Pablo Bay, near Vallejo, eighty-five miles in length, which was expected to cost $3,000,000. The bill was duly introduced into the Senate, and approved. On April 16, 1859, an Act authorizing the county of Solano to subscribe $200,000 to the capital stock of this railroad, was approved,

subject to the accepting thereof by the people, which was submitted to their vote at the general election of 1859, with the following result :

The Supervisors were empowered to issue bonds bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum from date of issue, payable half-yearly. Only $100,000 of these bonds were paid, however, to the company, who, not having fulfilled the contract under which the amount was subscribed, an amended Act was submitted to the Legislature, during the regime of Messrs. Mizner and J. B. Frisbie, as Senator and Assemblyman respectively, and approved March 26, 1868, by which the California Pacific Railroad Company, a new corporation which had been started and duly incorporated under the general laws of the State, were to have assigned and transferred to them all stock subscribed for the San Francisco and Marysville Railroad Company. This was not to be limited to the first named corporation, how- ever, for section 14 of the Act directs: "The said Supervisors are hereby authorized and empowered to issue and deliver to the proper officers of any railroad company which may, within two years from the passage of this Act, complete and have in running order a railroad from the Straits of Carquinez, or Vallejo Bay, to the northern boundary line of said Solano county, the same amount of bonds as the said San Francisco and Marysville Railroad Company would have been entitled to, had its said road have been fully completed in the year 1861, less the amount already issued." Of the original stock there is still $112,000 outstanding, which is being reduced at the rate of $9,000 a year.
An Act, approved May 13, 1861, to separate from the office of County Clerk, the office of County Recorder took effect on the first Monday of Octo- ber, and an election for the latter office was also ordered to be held at every succeeding general election. To the duties of Recorder were added those of Auditor. An Act was also approved on the 14th of May, in which it was provided that Road Masters be elected, so soon as the County shall have been divided into Road Districts, at the general election of Sept. 4th, whose duties were " to have the care and general supervision of the public roads within the district, to maintain them in as good repair and to erect such necessary bridges and culverts as the means at his command will permit ; and he shall also, by direction of the Supervisors, cause suitable guide- boards to be erected at the intersection of important roads. He shall oversee and direct the labor expended upon the roads, and see that teams, ploughs, scrapers and other implements, are furnished for the road service. He shall, between the first day of October and the first day of June, in each year, give to each person in his road district, who is liable to pay road tax, at least three days notice of the time and place at which such person shall appear for the purpose of working on the public roads," etc.

THE HISTORY OF SOLANO COUNTY.
In February, 1867, the county was divided into assessment districts con- forming to those which elected Supervisors, offices which were afterwards discontinued as being unwieldy.
Nothing of any particular importance to affect the county occurred in the few following years until 1871-the year of the Tapeworm ticket; the following history of which has been kindly supplied by Mr. George A. Gillespie.

The so called "Tape-worm Ticket," the use of which at Vallejo, at the election of 1871, caused so much comment and adverse criticism, both in and without the State, and even in the United States Congress, had its origin in this wise: The Navy Yard, at Mare Island, after the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency, passed into the control of the Republi- can party, and, especially during the war, a very large number of mechanics and laborers were given employment there. These men, or a large majority of them, prior to each general election, became enrolled members of Repub- lican clubs, and were to all appearances, supporters of the Republican ad- ministrations, but it was found at the counting of ballots at each election there were an uncomfortably large number of Democratic votes in the ballot boxes. To remedy this, various kinds of " non-imitative " and " non- scratchable " ballots were devised, both printed and engraved, but in every case the Democrats, by the use of tissue-paper "pasters," and other devices circumvented the vigilance and craft of the administration politicians and managed to have a large number of Democratic votes put into the ballot boxes by these professed Republicans. At a meeting of the Republican County Central Committee of Solano in August, 1871, after it had made arrangements to supply all the precincts of the county with a sufficient quantity of Republican ballots-save Vallejo, the members from that section announced to the committee that it would be necessary to have a new and different style of ballot for that precinct in order to prevent imitation, pasting and scratching. After some deliberation the matter was left to a sub-committee of two persons, with orders to have printed three thousand ballots of a design which it should adopt. This sub-committee subsequently went to San Francisco, and applied to the printing stationers, William B. Cooke & Co., to have the proposed ballots printed. They were not decided as to the plan or style of the ballots needed, so Mr. Cooke suggested to them that he would have several different designs prepared by his foreman-printer during the day, and if they would call on the following
119

morning they could make their selection as to which they would order. Four or five designs were prepared, and among the lot was this " tape-worm ticket," which in the judgment of the committee seemed specially designed " to fill the bill," and it was selected by them and an order given to print the required three thousand. These ballots were sent to Vallejo, and on the night previous to the day of election they were parcelled out to the Navy Yard foremen, who in turn reparcelled them out to their workmen, and they were very extensively voted during the day, carrying the precinct largely for the Republican party. But even with all the intricacy of its design and make up, one hundred and twenty-eight of these ballots were scratched and pasted by Democratic voters. Hundreds of these ballots were preserved by the curious as mementoes of political intimidation, and one of them in the hands of Senator Casserly, found its way to the United States Senate where it was exhibited to the gaze of astonished Senators as the acme of " bull-dozing" acumen. This episode in Solano's political history, dis- graceful as such proceedings were claimed to be, was not without a benefi- cial result, for beyond a doubt, to this tape-worm ticket and its use are we indebted for our present wise, and satisfactory uniform ballot law.
On May 7, 1873, the offices of Recorder and Auditor were consolidated, by direction of the Board of Supervisors, whose numbers were in this year increased from three to five, while the new office of Commissioner of High- ways was created; but after one term it was abrogated, the duties of the office lapsing into the hands of road-masters, as before. At the Judicial Election, held on October 15th, the votes for County Judge resulted in a tie, as under :
O. B. Powers receiving 1,241 votes; John M. Gregory, Jr., receiving a like number. A new election was therefore called for December 16th, when Judge Gregory received 1,286 votes, as against 1,212, obtained by Mr. Powers.
An Act to permit the voters of every township or incorporated city in the State to vote on the question of granting licences to sell intoxicating liquors was approved by the Legislature, March 18, 1874. It was famil- iarly known as the "Local Option Law," and was put to the voters of Solano County on May 30th of that year, showing :
For liquor license. 1,022
For no liquor license
904
Majority of . 118 for license.
The office of Auditor was established and made separate from that of Recorder by Act of the Legislature, approved March 30th, T. P. Hooper being the first incumbent of the former office. The same Act also pro- vided that the County Treasurer should be ex officio Tax Collector, thus
.

abolishing that office, while the offices of Public Administrator and County Coroner were united and consolidated on May 11th, 1875.
We now come to the last great event in the political history of Solano county, namely, the order for a new Constitution of the State, and its ulti- mate passage by an immense majority, that in Solano being two hundred and ninety-three.
It was found that the provisions in regard to taxation and property were of too vague a nature to be allowed to hold at this period of progress. At the time when the old Constitution was framed in Monterey, it was never contemplated that the State would be ever anything but a purely mining country ; and as each mining section had its own local laws, more distinct terms in regard to what was legally meant by property and taxable pro- perty, were not thought to be necessary. At last the day came when a de- cision of the Supreme Court ruled that credits are not property in the sense in which the word property is used in Section 13 of Article XI of the Constitution, and cannot be assessed for taxes, or taxed as property, even if secured by mortgage. (The People vs. Hibernia Bank, Cal. Reports, 51.)
The popular voice became clamorous on this decision for a change of rule ; and though having been before mooted, and successfully balked by former sessions of the Legislature, an Act to provide for a Convention to frame a new Constitution for the State of California was approved on March 30, 1878 ; and by a Proclamation of the Governor an election throughout the county of Solano was ordered to be held on June 19, 1878, for the pur- pose of electing delegates to a Constitutional Convention, to meet at Sacra- mento, on September 28th. Thirty-two delegates were to be elected by the State at large, of whom not more than eight should be residents of any one Congressional District. One delegate was allowed for the counties of Solano and Yolo, jointly, and three for Solano county alone. The result . was :
DELEGATE for Solano and Yolo counties, jointly :
C. F. Reed (of Yolo) . 741 votes.
For Solano county :
Joel A. Harvey 859 votes.
J. M. Dudley . 821
S. G. Hilborn 769
The election for the adoption or rejection caused a deep seated feeling throughout the entire State, and for months the county was in a perfect ferment ; at last the 7th of May arrived; the following morning the news was flashed throughout the length and breadth of the land of the adoption of California's new organic law; and now nothing but Time can solve the riddle as to whether the decision was a wise one or not.
