rs And of the candidates for Governor anC
h Secretary of State, the Union remarks:
n Gorham and Parks are the creatures of the lobby
put forward to ,er purposes which no honest Off
y clal could be expected to sanction.
!. The San Francisco Bulletin briefly declares:
n The Union party of California has been betrayed
" and cheated. IF the great majority of ats members
e who are now smarting under of wrong, SUBJ
g NIT without protest. without energetic effort
to right themselves they may expect to see the party
corrupted and shorn of its strength to be followed
Il by hopeless defeat next year.
: In response to an attack upon itself by the
Stockton Independent for not supporting the
ticket, the Bulletin says:

The Chico COWrdnt, Bidwell's home organ
says:
Bribery and corruption have carried the day at
Sacramento, and nominated George Gorhaan for Gov
ernor, to head the Union State ticket That he could
be nominated in face of all the facts connected with
his lobbying swindle bills through the last Legsla
ture, by which the State to be swindled out of
half million OF dollars is surprising to the nteli-
gence OF the California people The question now
is will he be elected AS things appear at present it
is somewhat doubtful Gorha is the last feather to
break the camels back The Sacramento Union and
Bee San Francisco Cali, BaLeti1e Ad and Times be-
sides the interior press, cannot swallow all they have
said about Gorham's corruption and advocate his
cause as the standard bearer of the great Union
party. The Democracy have honest as
well as capable i'll that party, and we believe
that either Gen. Rosecrans Pearson B. Reading
would be acceptable than Gorham to all honest
Union men who will not be blinded by corruption
Better that the State should be saved by an honest
war Democrat than damned by corrupt Unionist

porters OF the Union party-having entered it when
the Republican party became merged into it-openly
declare that they cannot support tbs ticket with
out consciousness of decentralization, and that
therefore they will not support it. Others few in
number, have had the courage to ndorse the ticket
and commend it to the support of the people,
And of Mccarthy, the Radical candidate for
State Printer, it observes:
We have left this mans name off the ticket. be-
evng him unfit as well as ineligible to discharge the
duties of his Office.
The Sacramento Bee adds its condemnation
as follows:
The success of the ticket as now constituted. ]
would be of the greatest calates that could bel
fall the State To it as it is omens the destruc-
ton OF the Union partyor with it success or defeat
oIO d1lhC anu CllS is no sudden burst OF
passion-no hastily formed opinion but settled
convctonone that grew out of the facts of the case
When it became in the least probable that Gorham
might be the nominee for Governor 1t is a conyic-
ton which, instead Of fading away is likely to be-
come more deeply rooted as time progresses Large
numbers OF the Union people of the State will not
vote tnlS ticket as 1t is now composed Their duty to
the State to themselves and to the party will not per-
nit them will their consciences allow it. Ihey
believe nay numbers of them know, that the ticket
was begoten in fraud and brought forth in iniquty
ana that 1t succeed this is but the beginning OF the
end. II il

VINO evidently was more popular, and had more
friends among delegates at'the outset but by COM

would be to tell deliberate untruth There is great
and widespread dissatisfaction in the party through
out the State. E
