ents The people of California have paid too
little attention to their nominating convcn-
tions, and have cared but little for the quail
fcation and capacity of candidates. Was
man too lazy or dishonest to work, he had but
to turn his attention to politics, announce
himself as candidate, secure packed conven-
ton, and appear before the people an honor
able and distinguished man, whose silent ig
norance is mistaken for wisdom. Such men
would not be tolerated in O convention did
the people take due interest in it. The voice of
conventions should be the voice of the people.
They are not bound make their selections
from such as thrust themselves forward. -
The delegates meet III convention for the pur-
pose of uniting the party upon the canl!datcs
they present, and it is their duty to look over
the scope Of country they represent, and Sc
lect those best qualified to represent them,
without regard to those who have thrust
themselves upon Its notice.
As far as this county is concerned, we hope
our county conventions will hereafter be COM
democracy of the county, and give expression
to their will in the selection Of candidates,
even if such course should give umbrage to
worthless but aspiring domagogues. 10 show
the inattcntiOn Of those really interested in
the county, we will mention the fact that two
OF our County Committee, both Of whom were
candidates before the convention, are not now
residents Of the county. The same thing may
be said Of several others who had thrust
themselves prominently before the convention
for various county Offices. some of whom have
left in a clandostine manner With our con-
vcntions composed of such material, were we
not fortunate in escaping with the slight mis-

Congressional Convennon.

What has become of the State Central Com
mittee whose duty it is to call convention
for the nomination of Congressman: Here
tofore our Congressional Conventions have
met in June Why the delay exhibited by
the Committee now in calling the Conventions
Is it for the purpose of giving those members
of the late legislature, who have appropriated
the nominations to themselves, q chance to
themselves, chance to go home, pack Con
ventions and send the State after the recent
municipal elections We have no fears of an
outside influence affecting this region of coun
try, but there doubtless are portions Of the
State where their unprincipled ambition will
be able to effect much. 1t will require at least
six weeks time from the issuing of the call, to
assemble the convention, provided the conven
ton shall be called in an honorable and proper
manner, and not sprung upon the people =
Supposing the call to be issued now, and the
convention TO assemble on the first of July,
and the nominees will have but two months to
canvass the State. Should the Brodericll

Of their worth and honesty, and we would

tlemen, and should you succeed in obtaining
the nomination, You may be as successful be-
fore the people as the Little Ginat was at
the Chicago Convention, but We have huge
doubts.
Would it not be proper for the different
County Committees to take the matter in
hand, and determine the day for holding the
convention We must have a convention
even though the central committee refuse to
call one. The election takes place in Septem-
Der, and it would seem policy to have the con-
