and to set up the vulgar pomp OF shoddy-
ist of the first class
There are others more reputable than
Mr. STEWART, holding no representative
connection with the Pacific coust, who have
profitcd immensely in this way through
their Senatorial positions under the con-
vcuicnt disguise of counsel That form OF
bribery has come TO be wcll UNDERSTOOD
and, sad to say, is successfully directed
against a class Of public mcn who in other
respects have not invited or accepted
temptation.
ErrIGY SApGENT was elected TO the
Senate ~ the mere instrument OF the
Central Pacific. because his audacity has
no limit in any vcunl service. An unscru-
pulous a~cut. familiar with the secret
sprinrs of Congress, was needed for nm
emergency that now seems to be immi-
nent. and SARGENT furnished the qualities
better than any of his competitors. lIcncc
he was chosen by the Central Pncihc Rlng'
lust as BEN lloLLApAY selected IiIrrLE or
MITCHELL 10 serve his purposes from
Oregon
This result in California shows what the
MASSES ul the people can do when III ear
nest against the most powerful coinhina-
tiuns of capital aud political machinery.
II demonstrates too that the suppose d
apathy or Indifference to corruption,
which has heretofore alarmed rejecting
minds us tu the fate of our experiment
OF free government, was not more than
surface deep, aud is now superseded by Il
popular Indignation AT betrayed Conii-
dence which threatens to sweep every
thing before II.
The infection Of such II sentiment will
spread everywhere. and when added to
the resentment caused by the Credit
Mobilicr exposures and the salary steal ut
the last Congress, must intensity the feel
ing that had already been excited, and
perhaps lead To reconstruction of parties
ON basis of liberal reform.
Great corporations, swollen with pride
and power and wealth, may affect to de-
spise this warning from an ovcrwceuine
confidence in Their own resources, which
have heretofore achieved so much. But II
they have even worldly wisdom, they will
estimate this beginning of "a mighty reac-
ton at its true value, ana couple with II
the significant farmers movement in the
West, which Is daily assuming vast pro-
! portions, as reason for changing an
oppressive policy. II they fail to accept
