A POLITICAL REVOLUTION IN cALrFogNIA-uow
ATrORNEY-GENERAL WILLIAMS Is TO BE RE
ELECTED.
IRON AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-'The revolution
which has taken place in political affairs is really
of the marves of the day. Even the time OF
holding the Baltimore Convention. there was very little
enthusiasm in politics. certainly there was mono on the
Grant side. and very little activity among Liberals.
But soon after the campaign fairly opened by the
nomination OF Greeley and Brown ~ Baltimore, the bah
began here There not much hesitation among the
Democrats of course, In accepting heartily the nomina
ton the few who held out the Bourbons of the
extreme Southern part OF the State where the secession
sentiment stronger than 1t was in South Carolina
during the But the rank and file Of the party
went for Greeley with real enthusiasm The 70
markablc part of this awakening, however,
among the Republicans II has always been
the proud boast of the few faithful Original"
Republicans Of this State that they such when IL
cost them great sacrifices be and the old Repub
leans" the remnant OF the mGrtyrs"-havc always
constituted sort of arisocracy OF the party Almost
TO q man they have come out for Greeley. Such
John Il. Chellis, formerly observation-disclosures OF the
State; Frank NJ. PiNlcy, formerly Attorney and
u. s. DisricAttOrney; Col Rand. formerly u. g. Mar
shall John b. Fnsbe, man OF wealth and long repue
in the state-these, and mutitudes Of other od-tme
Republicans, ont for the Liberal candidates and
gave at once a great impetus 10 the movement among
Republicans u
this Democratic movement; the very flower OF the
Republican party OF Gnore correctly the vanguard, was
with IL.
OF the newspaper not many influential metropolitan
journals have declared for Greeley The Bulletin and
The Morning Call both owned by the prOprctors,
the only San Francisco daily newspapers which have
not come out for side the other. The Alta Cmt
Jorio which is always with the side that has the most
money, Is for Grant Mr.. NJ. q. Upton, OF the Oldest
and ablest journalists this coast has just left the
editorshp Of The Alta ON account of his refusal to sup
port Grant and it is supposed that will be at the
head Of Liberal journal 70 be started soon vi he
country press, The Sacramento Union is for Grant but
in lukewarm manner and The MdryspiHe standard
and The EUeni1 POStand Examiner Of this city doing
good service fer Greeley IL Is pretty plain, however
that we shall carry the State without newspaper ale.
As body, the Germans for Greeley The great
German Greeley and Brown meeting in this city, last
week, grand affair. No means had been used TO
gather a crowd, but Patts Hail. the largest the city,
was crowded to sufocation. II was thoroughly Ger
affair throughout-speakers officers and audience.
Tue Administration men have been trying 10 get M
German meeting also 20 counterfeit the effect of the
Greeley rally, but failed they could not hud enough
"Custom-hOuse Dutch" as they cali them, to make
decent call OF course, it is early in the campaign for
estimates Of majOrtes; but there be doubt,
would seem, that the State Will go for Greeley by
majority OF least 5000 Booth, Republican, was
with an enthusiastic ard united Republican vote against
had hare majority In 1865 Inc will have none IN 1872
certainty. There is such uprising OF the people there
"a here The {" Webfcet" as our folks can the ore.
gOnians, were always cool and phegnatic sew
eal OF the old Bourbon Democratic newspapers hesitate
about raising th&sireeley and Brown ticket But Ore
gon il really Deliberate State Seymour carried IL by
a small majority in 1865 and 10 has Democratic Gov
and Representative. The explanation of the late
paTtv is that Ben Holiday the Railway King Of Ore
gon wanted add United States Senator 20 his is
ceaneous outfit. 1t would be Of for him to have
Democratic Senator, although Holiday IL himself q
Democrat At the time he went into the speculation the
much longer than is now prODabe. And the man who
10 be HOlladays Republican Senator - the Hon Geo
II. Williams, now Grants Attorney General, formerly
IT, s. from Oregon 80 much, at least, Is deter
mined upon IN our neighborlng state.
