ON the struggle which is now wagins
inside the ranks of the Republican pant,
OF Califoinia-ihe thing struggled fol
being the naming of Mr.. Casseriey's
successor in the Senate of the United
States it looks to US as if there was a
very general prevalence OF harmony. IN
the incidents OF the moderate and annie
able rivalry going on there. except
IN the instance OF one of the
factions that are SO engaged. The
healthy friction OF the primaries would
never give out any threats vi atter-b,tter-
ing attitude in which the Sacramento
Union has placed Mr.. Booth scandidacy.
The harsh and dictatorial tone and man
ner of that paper seem TO be a constant
and angry threat that unless Mr.. Booth 5
cause is sustained in the councils of the
Republican party, the Republican party
must lie defeated. We are not writing
this for the purpose Of complaining of
this evident self-chosen relationship o!
the Union to the Republican organization
in California. That paper Outlawed it
self from all political rules and respon-
abilities as long ago as 1867, and it has
been nothing more nor less than poli.-
ical IshmaeEte evez since. Still! it is
Mr.. Booths organ. This Is a very sin
guiar fact when We come to look upon
it in its true light The Governor Of
Cali:Ornis (who so far as We know any
thing Of his record. has always been a
faithful and constant Republican, chos-
ing to .issesard, or reconsider, his pub
hcly expressed determination not to run
for the Senate, does become candidate
for that place; and in SO doing chooses
FOX his organ u newspaper which is not
only wholly independent Of political
PARTIES and Obligations, but with which
tine Republican party IS SO absolutely at
variance as that every one of IFS true
and honest members must regard any
utterances which that paper may make
relating to its acts vi purposes as just SO
much OF mere foreign comment uttered
in entire reg,rdlessness Of anything that
can be said or done in the private coun-
sells Of the party itself. The Sacramento
Union has no more right to a repre-
sentative, or friend. or AL ally, in any
meeting held for the purpose OF orisi-
mating or lerfecting any plans Of action
looking to the performances or purposes
of the Republican party than would a
or friend or ally Of the
Erumiaer. And yet it is Governor
Booth special and acknowledged organ;
and it goes so far as to make ii openly |
known that unless the Legislative nOmi- |
ne,s Of the Republican party in the |
various counties Of California can show |
= full aud well attested proof of their
to srppo.t Mr.. Booth for
The Senate, it, the Caion, an independ-
Ent non-partis,n sheet, will exert its
power and influence to defeat those
nominees in the general election. As We
say, we make no complaint of ali this;
Tor Why should We? We had as we'll
complain Of the eccentricities Of any
,ther paper or thing having an existence
Eholly and avowedly independent of the
party. But that such pa
Der should be the recognized and, as We
relieve, acknowledged, organ of \ Re
publican Governor xho wants to receive
he votes of Republican Legislature to
le:p him along in his aspirations toward
seat in the Senate is at least noteworthy
not surprising. And it is to be hoped
hat such an influence as the Uhion's
nay not be permitted to cause any seri-
Us obstacles to the Republican party's
and successful settlement of
II It's internal or domestic difficulties in .
Is own way-even to the disposal Of SO
Important a matter as Governor Booths
andidacy for the Senate.
