The Choice Of Senator.

gation IN the Legs atufe TO cast their
votes for Gen. Anderson for U. s. Sena-
tor, on the ground that "the mining in
terests of California ore known rs the
most important of oil others to the State,
and as these interests have no direct
representation in the Senate Of the
United States
Whatever may be the qualities or
claims Of Gen. Anderson, the election Of
man thoroughly eonversant with the
necessities of the mining couRties is of
paramount Importance. We presume
Democrats agreeing with us in this mat
ter would not object to so good Demo-
crat as Gen. Anderson, and rs Wings
cannot hope with the political COM
plexion Of the Legislature to elect q
Wing to the position, those of them who
wish true reprcsep tation of mining
interests will unite on man known to
be sound OH that point. We should like
to hear q statement, however, Of Gen.
Anderson's views as to the proper policy
to be pursued in relation to the mines,
for it is not every man in the mines who
understands their real necessities and
il with correct views, he possesses the
high character and ability ascribed to
him, we hope he will be elected.
The San francisco Herald in an arti'
Gle on the instructions referred to, in
its issue Of the l4th, objects to the idea
that the mining interests are the para
mount interests Of California, and holds
that Senator should be elected more
particularly to represent the great COM
mercial interests Of that city, and de-
clares that the mining interests will
thrive spontaneously il not tampered
with by foolish legislation An intel
ligent man from any portion OF the State
can appreciate the necessities and will
give his voice in MD of proper legislation
for San Francisco, and its commercial
interests; but we will remind our CO.
temporary, that it is not every man from
San Francisco who will avoid "tamper-
Ing by foolish Legislation" with the
mining interests. The mining counties
want man elected who will promise to
! let them alone-whch San Francisco
politicians will not do. We are well
aware the Herald has no friendly re-
CARDS for the mining counties. 1t has
already declared it's conviction that the
interests Of the mining counties are
an ia gonistic to those Of San Francisco"
and we are therefore not surprised at
tho opposition it expresses to the cleo
ton of Senator with the especial quail
ifcation that ho understands fully the
mining interests of the State. But We
do not believe any such antagonism ex-
lists; for the growth of the mining coun-
ties gives large avenue for the com
merce of San Francisco, and magni6es
its Importance.
We differ from the Herald in believ-
ing that Gen. Anderson is the only man
from the mines possessing single quail
ifcstion for the Office" We know If
several who would do honor to them
selves and justice to the whole State, if
elected But their names have not
been brought forward, and probably will
not be, while the consistent and steady
opposition of all who. like the Heraid,are
unfriendly to the mining counties, is to
be anticipated. Nevertheless, we trust
the Senators and Representatives in the
State Legislature from the mineral dis
tricts will make correct views as to the
mining interests q sine qra non in the
Senatorial election, for on the incum-
bent, whoever he may be, will devolve
q large responsibility in the matter,
during the next few years. =.
