DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
The adjourned Democratic State Convo,
ton ass mbIed in this city on Tuesday lss,
and only completed its business to day hs;n,'
in session three days. The numbers nresan s
exceeded the Convention of the Ia,h -
June, though most Of those present tbsn
were here again. AS it was admitted ,hs sn
that the men composing the convention waro
almost the entire talent of the Democrat
party of the State, it will not be dsn;ad
now. Even the Sacramento Union. ,ha,
expounder of Douglas Repubhcanism. frsalv
admitted that the members of the IAN -
June Convention, composed the talent Of ,ha
party.
THE CONTRAST WAS GREAT.
But the editor Of the Union, under in.
structloEs from Anthony & Co.. dare no,
give the readers of that good newsnaner on
opinion on this score Of the members of ,bo
late Douglas State Convention The editor
merely said what every body else knew to be-
true, ut was large Convention" So It
was, and mass State Convention womb
have been larger But is it not morally
and cr'minalIy wicked, Messrs Editors. for :,
paper like this Union to suppress wha,
should be published. The editor knew that
the members Of the late Douglas State Con.
venlion were intellectual pigmies in com.
parlson with the late Democratic Conyep.
ton. say that of all the State Conven.
tons have seen assembled, and have seen
hundreds, the members compose the 4rh
OF July body, were the most ordinary, udp
mo OF course from personal appearance, |
ever saw assemble. The proceedings. too,
proved that their appearance WAS not decep.
tive, or that your correspondent looked at
them through n smoked glass. Their gene.
ra appearal ce was extremely ordinary, and
IA locker on could not help bu, raise the
question in bis mind these men are the
accepted leaders of the Douglas party. for
GODS sake what must The rank and file bel'
During the weeks session of this immense
lump OF lylnpha'ism, not a speech was made
above medioclity. Little De Long, of
luba. and Chase, Of Nevada were the stals
III this bright galaxy of stars. Oh Cesar
how weak political body, composed of 600
human beings, when those two gentlemen
form the talent Of the grea, Douglas Com
ven,ion. Who would think of comparing
these one horse lawyers with such men and
Democrats as Tod Robinson, Judge Heydeu-
frldt, Edmund Randol phi, and the entire list
of nominees on the State ticket! The fact
is the old line Democratic party Of Cafor-
mia still possesses the talent of the whole
party. and it's position though now unpopular
with Republicans and Douglas Republicans,
will be found, in another year, to BE- the only
position upon which the Democratic party
can rally. 1t is too plain the Douglas party
is ON IT'S LAST LEGS,
and that the little bush to be made this fall,
under The leadership # the Little (devlsh
little) Giant, Of FL DrraAo, will be the grand
finale to the semi Republican organization
Since the making of the good and strong
Democratic ticket BY the Democrats in Con-
vention the past three days, the Dou: las
Democracy Of Sacramento have terribly
weakened" A few days ago, and mme.
diatey after the adjournment OF the Atm OF
July Convention, really suppose the Doug,
las men expected to carry the State bus
since the Transactions of this week, and the
great exhibition oflaIent and strength oy inc
true Democrats Of the State, all hoPe n"'
faded from their ccunienances IL - no"
believed, and so generally stated by tne No.
publicans, that the CONFESS ticket will be 'ue
lowest in the triangular race next Seplemoe''
EVERYBODY coMMENDs.
All parties at tho Capital speaks IN Inc
highest need Of the nominees on the res"'
lar Democratic ticket. Such ticket gives
new life to the party, and new energy 10 al

Of Sacramento will now enter the tight w W,
the greatest anticipations Of success LUIS
state of feeling very much helps the prosPsao'
Of the local ticket, which is to be put 10 'ao

ticket is to be nominated, in pursuance o'
call already published The Doug 'hep"O'

and the chances are, that if the democrat,
