Views of tlle Press.
The Times says the great OUtpOuring Of
the people into Lafayette Square Monday
night proves the deep-seated dissatisfaction
which exists against that fraudulent legisla-
ton by which. men who have material and
permanent interest in the State have for
the time been plundered and deprived Of
the power Of resistance, and that hereafter
the two races will unite against the vam-
pire assaults Of meTciless officials.
The Bee says the contest now in progress
between Gov. WaTmOth and his opponents
in the Legislature has nothing of a party
character. 1t is not a contest between Re
publicaHs and Democrats, nor has race, col
or of previous condition anything to do with
it. 1t is a contest between the reformers of
the General Assembly and those who are
opposed thereto. The coalition has been
formed for the single purpose of overthrow
ing WarmOth's administration, because
while he wields the executive power of the
State, reform is regarded as impracticable.
The PicdyIme, heretofore regarded favor
able to the WarmOthites, says: ''GOv. War
moth is personally UnknOwntO us; he does
not find an apOlOgist in the PicGlCtne for
his errors; our journal has no. trusted in
his promises any more than it could trust in
those politicians whom he leads"
