California Politics.

John b Weller, Governor Of California, has
issued an address 10 the Democracy Of that
State on the subject Of the next election The
Dem ocratic party will be called upon to Os-
semble in their primary meetings, to elect
delegates to the State Convention. As the
State is largely Democratic, tho delegates
selected will naturally elect the State Off
cers. These primary elections, not being
regulated by law, frequent frauds have been
praeticed, and it is to these that Governor
Weller directs attention. He says he is
aware that his administration has not given
universal satisfaction, and that plans are
being laid, by bic opponents, to insure his
defeat at the nominating convention lie
points out these schemes, and makes an apN
peal to the people Of the State to assemble
at the primary elections, and express their
opinions directly on the Gubernatorial ques
ton. While he protests against being
swapped Of by politicians, he declares that
to the will Of the people, honestly expressed,
he will bow with cheerful submission.

A FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR HAUL.-The
San Francisco Herald, Of the l7sh ult, an
nounced the abscOnding of young man
named John Williams, who was employed as
clerk for Messrs. Walling, Martin d Co.,
quartz miners in Mariposa County, on the
last steamer, carrying with him the modest
little sum of $4,000 which, by industrious
application, he had from time to time stolen
from his employers, the propriotors of very
valuable quartz lead, at Gentry's Gulch.-
Williams had enjoyed their full confidence
up to the time of his departure. A requsi-
ton from Governor Weller is after him. He
is from Erie county, Penn.

Ambition Falaahnnd

The Cleveland Herald ventures q despe-
rate lie to help its party out of trouble. II
says:
"The Democracy in 1910 threw Judge
Swan out Of the caucus Of that party, when
he was candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court, because be refused to answer yes to
the letter written him by order Of the cau-
Gus, asking if he would decide that q bank
charter was not contract"
The Democrat thereupon nails that lie to
the counter in this eGectuaI manner:
Judge Swan was not o candidate for Su,
preme Judge in lS40; he was not thrown
out of the Democratic caucus that year, or
any other year, for not answering yes to
any question propounded to him.
During the session of the Legislature OF
lS40-4l, Judge Swan, having served one
term as President Judge of the Columbus
Judicial Circuit was a candidate for re. cleo
tion, and received the vote of every Demo-
cratic member, and was elected.
again, when the constitution required
the people to elect the Judges, Judge Swan,
at the first Convention OF the Democracy in
that Circuit, was nominated as the candidate
against Judge Bates, which nomination, on
account, it was said of bad health and an
inadequate salary, he refused to accept"
What pity that Republican editors have
such short memories
