CA.eSO CRY:
Thursday......... june ;. 1873.

WHEN. in the Fall of 1870. there
was god deal OF light skirmi>h
III, Oh the ti,lk- of the Republican
party of California looking to the
securing of somebody who conl.l
beat Height for Governor in the con
test Of the year following. the AP-
PEAL was in advance of any paper
except the Sacramento Union in ad
vO..AtinS the nomination of Newton
Booth. 1t was obvinus that the De-
mocracy wonld renomintte Haight;
and AS he had m,,le himself sort of
specIOns reputation i'll favor of the
anti subsidy" howl, and WIS there
for Il good enough Morgan for the
Democracy to 20 iemayoSing witt,
and IN we knew tina. Booth had stood
by Gorhum ia 1867, and rs We fur
ther correctly snrmi,ed that whereas
the Gurl,am wing would vote for
him while it WIS very sure :h t the
Ini,nS following would bolt the
nomination of Selby or any ether
man but Booth. and victory being
the thing needed to set the Re-
publican party in California Oh its
feet, we advised the course which
was adopted in 1871 TO
the long hairs AMI h'lters though it
vas. We Thought the promised
harmony and the silencing of the
howl we're worth the concession
Booth. to pro,itia;e the ardent work
ers amongst the short hairs vnlun-
teered 10 say. III the most unaquiv
oc:tl and public manner that if elect
ell to the Governor office he should
serve ont his term-thu> conveying
the inference, if lie did not explicit
~ state in SO many words. tina: he
did not intend to be candidate for
the Senate. The forty thousand
Gurham men accepted the situation.
(Gorham. meanwhile working like u |
Trojan for the success of the ticket, J |
and Mr.. Booth Was hand
somely elected He conldn't have
touched bottom if be had had /
the frankness to say in 1871
that he would ever make O con
est against GorlIam for the Senate:
not that Gurham would have done
but work for him, all the
,m-; but some Of GurhanI 5 con-
ing-nt of forty Thousand voters
would have seen all the generation
# Booths where Wilkes Of that I
lane Is, before they wonld have
ct him be placed where lie .
"uld pull down amy part Of eorges
political struetnre He has made u
cry respectable Governor and has
Reclaimed some very pretty speeches:
lisit he did seem Just the least bit
and insignificant when :
talwart Par-on Stebbins rehnk-sl
i'm and Haight at u public dinner
with the Chinese qu"s-
ion and if he had but firmly and
Ianfnlly lived up to the spirit and
roaming of his PROMISE to serve his
,rm out, lie might have been GER L
lin Of a very fair reputation when :.
Is official career should he ended il
mt We think that he has overvalued T..
IL howl against the railroad aud /,
far overraipd the influence of the 81
Union as the G0riiam y
en moderated it in 1867. In our -
Idgment, all his candidacy can do is
furnish n pretext for the Sacra
ento Uni "a and its following To- ut

,rticn of 1861. Gingerly men !"
hose inclinatiOns are to eviscerate
i the rugged virility from politics :.

e not made of the stuff which y

rian; so, in oar estimation. BOntL
too much of q negaiiOn to COM =;
