A"revised Republican ticket, y more popularity
known as the Long Hair ticket" las the regular
Republican is called the ''Short Hairy, bears
the names of Caleb T. Fay, of San Francisco,
for Governor; BENZ. Il. Nickerson of San Fran
cisco, for Secretary OF State; William Jones, of
I'll OOTduO, IOF CONTROLLER; ana I'D. W JeUrleS, OF
san Francisco, for State Printer; but in all other
respects conforms to the regular nominations.
The objection to Mr.. Gorham is that he is an
adventurous youth, put forward in the interest
OF the great moneyed corporations. Mr.. Cor
ham was, only four or five years ago, a reporter
on the Ban Francisco Alta; subsequently Pri-
vate secretary TO Governor Low; and is now
Clerk of the United States Circuit Court. The
objection to William H. Parks aud Josiah
Howell, candidates for Secretary of State and
Controller, respectively, Is that they abused
their powers as mem oers of the State Central
Committee to so apportion the Convention and
manipulate its earlier proceedings that Gorham
won by fraudulent and meagre majority.
The objection to Mr.. Mccarthy, of the San
Francisco Flag, candidate for State Printer, is
that he Is poltroon, and his paper "rap
Office, and beggar at all doors. John Bidwell, a
member of the last Congress, and probably the
wealthiest agriculturisG on the Pacific slope, was
the rival candidate in the Convention that nomi-
mated Gorham, and undoubtedly embodied the
preferences of four-fiths of the party. He was
subsequently named on the bolters' ticket, for
Governor, but declined and counsels union in
support OF the regular nominations. The bolters'
Convention although encouraged by the most
powerful Republican newspapers of the State
as the San Francisco Bulletin, the Sacramento
Union ETC., represented only fourteen counties,
and by the declaration of Mr.. BidWel the move
ment looses all its Importance, and is reduced
to the extremity of taking up Mr.. Caleb 7. Fay,
a San Francisco merchant of much selfesteem
and of great pretensions for Office never before
gratifed. All the prominent Long Hair" poll
ticians, as Governor Low, A. A. Sargent Frank
M. Pixley, ETC., now support the Gorham ticket,
and we may safely predict its election by full
10000 majority. This result is understood, if
not conceded, to carry with it the reelection OF
John Conness to the United States Senate.
So far as national questions are concerned,
both wings of the Republican party are pro-
nouncedIy radical. Mr.. Gorham points to
speeches and newspaper articles early Disco
vering the treachery of Andrew johnson, and
denouDcing his "polcy. Senator COnness is
one of the Congressional Executive Committee
(of radicals), and his public record has been
honorable and consistent. The Congressional
nominees are Timothy G. Phelps, member of
the first Congress of the war; William Highly. q
member of the last two Congresses; and Chan
cellor Harrison, new man and radical.
The Democracy of California, who used to be
manipulated by 'Duke" Gwin, judge Terry
John Nugent, ETC.. have this year thrown off
their old leaders, and nominated for Governor
Mr.. Henry H. Haight, a young San Francisco
lawyer (son of the late United States Judge,
Fletcher M. Haieht) who is already called the
James T. Brady of the California barr Mr..
Haight made "war speeches" during the Re-
bellion, is popular orator, and of untarnished
personal reputation. The Republican split first
encouraged Democratic hopes of his election
now dispelled. however, by the substantial
| agreement of the dominant party.
