CRUEL AND CNJusTIHIATLE-LathamS cauS-
tic and unanswcrable reply to Judge Currcy
at Yrcka. The OF defeated. Unfortunately am
bilious Brodcrick candidate for Governor was
most ctfcctually used up. The gallant Demo
cratic champion bears himself proudly and
nobly, and is match for all the opposition
speakers in the State. Judging from the easy
with which he handled Curry, it would not
tax his powers in the least TO lay IBrodcrick
on the shelf "Broderick is not a fool il he is
n Republican" and he has too much shrcwd-
ness to meet Latham on the stump. The full.
some adulatiOn Of the Sacramento Union,
shOwcred upon Brodcrick on all occasions,
may increase his vanity and cgotism, but il
will hardly impair his judgment sufficient to
induce him to commit the irrcparablc folly
of meeting Latham ON the stump. His rcpu-
tation MS a speaker would be infinitely worse
than his reputation as politician, bad as that
is, were he to attcmptit.
