THE SENATORIAL OUTLOOK IN
CALIFORNIA.

THE SENATORIAL OUTLOOK IN
CALIFORNIA.
The chances for the succession to SEN
ator Casserly were lost sight of in the
excitement incident to the late judicial
election in California. Instead of can
wasting the claims of Booth, Casserly
and others for Senator, the press and the
people of California were busted about
the chances of McKinstry, Mckee and
Dwinelle, for Justice of the Supreme
Court. But the judicial election being
done with, the public returns, with re-
newed interest, to the consideration OF
the Senatorial question. The Legisla-
ture which may choose Senator next
Winter is composed of the following po-
litical elements
HoLp.ovER SENATORS.
Republicans-S. J. Finney. of san
Francisco and San Mateo; W. T. Garratt
and George Culton, of San Francisco;
David Goodall of Contra Costa and Mar
in; George S. Evans, of San joaquin: NJ.
C. Andross, of Tuolumne; Barlow Dyer,
of Calaveras; ii. J. McKusick, of Edo
RADIO; James A. Duffy, of Sacramento;
Jacob Neff, of Placer; Charles Kent. OF
Nevada; L. 7. Crane, Of Yuba, j. j. De-
Haven, of Del Norte and Humboldt;-l3.
Democrats James Mccoy, of San
Diego; r. ]. Keyes, of Stanislans; Thos.
Beck, OF Monterey, W. w. Pendegast, OF
Napa; John Boggs. of Colusa; John Nc
Murray, of Trinity.
OF the q Senators elected D are Re.
publicans, S are Democrats and are In
dependents. OF the so Assemblymen
elected 81 are classed as Republicans, p
Democrats and 80 Independents. If the
classification made DE correct, there viii
be on Joint ballot 80 Republicans, II
Democrats and 40 Independents. But
as new party has sprung into existence
since the hold-over Senators were elect
ed, two years ago, it is not unlikely that
some of them may be governed in the
Senatorial election by the action of theil
constituents at the September election
First on the list is Finney, of San Fran
cisco and San Mateo, who, if governed
by the popular will, would have to tax
sides with the Independents, for although
San Mateo elected Republican Assem-
blyman, San Francisco went largely In
dependent. CARAT and Oultol
must also come over to the Independents
and Goodall, of Contra Costa, Evans, o
San joaquin, Duffy, of Sacramento AM
Neff, of Placer, for the same reason, ma,
vote with the Independent party
ing seven Senators more for the hide
pendents. The districts of Andross, Nc
kusick, Kent, Crane and DeHaven vote
Republican in September, and of cours
those gentlemen would be expected +
adhere to the regular organization. O
the Democratic hold-over Senators tn
districts of Mccoy, Boggs and McMul
ray send Democratic Assemblymen, Will
those of Beck, Reyes and Pendegast al
divided. Conceding these six Eepubl
cans as obeying the popular will an
going over to the Independents, Il
strength of that party would onl
be 47-just II less than majorit,
By what combination Senator can
elected where the three parties are $
nearly balanced equally it seems difficu
TO conjecture. We deem it certain thu
the Republicans whose districts have r
turned Republicans to the Assembl
will not vote for an Independent fC
Senator; and unless the old line DEM
Gratis are willing to abandon their orgal
iZation entirely, We cannot believe the
will join the Independents and elect OF
of the latter. The Independents coul
not think OF supporting any Republica
who opposed them in the late campaigl
indeed, Independents would more like
support some Democrat who had goo
anti-monopoly record. But then Il
politicians who hope to ride into Il
Senate at some future time will exc
themselves to stave off an election f
Senator till 1875, after another electio
shall have been had for members of IL
Legislature Should this course be take
it will make no practical difference, fl
il a Senator is elected next December h
term will not commence till March, 1877
and he will not be called on to perfor
any duty until December, rs, We b
lieve, then, there will be no election
Senator this Winter in California, al
that two years hence the Independel
party will make bold strike to choose
Legislature which will not hesitate
send an Independent Senator to Coz
gress.
