CALIFORNIA sEATORIAL FIGHT.

Our dispatches this morning give US
the result of the first ballot yesterday in
the two Houses leach voting separately
for United States Senators. In the Sen
ate, Shafter (Rep.) received II, Farley
Dem. -, and Booth Ind Is, for the
full term. In the Assembly Booth re-
reived 43, Farley "a and Shafter O..
There We're 3S of the 40 Senators who
voted and 70 of the so Assemblymen.
The strength of the parties as stated by
the Sacramento Union late in October,
was IS Republicans, II Democrats and 5
Independents in the Senate; hence Shat
ter fell 5 behind his party vote and Far
lev | behind. while Booth ran ahead.
Two Senators were absent or not voting
Andres, hold-over Republican from
Tuolumne, and Farley, Democrat.
In the Assembly the Unions figures
were 10 Republicans, rs Democrats, 80
independents. But here Shafter got only
votes, leaving him 10 behind; OF the q
Democrats Farley got "a, leaving him
behind; while Booth had 40, 10 more
than the Independent vote. One Assem-
blyman was absent. To-day the two
Houses are required 10y law to meet il
joint convention and ballot at least on
time. Judging by the vote yesterday tn
result to-day will be Shafter 81, Earle,
40 Booth So. Booth received the vote
of the Independent Senators and thos
of De Haven, of Humboldt, and Goodall
of Contra Costa, hold-over Republicans
and Perkins, of Butte; Spencer, OF YubS
and Turner, Of Sierra, who were electe
as Republicans last September.
For the short term the Democrat
named Judge Hager; but the Republican
and Independents failed to nominate
One ballot was had in the Assembly
when Hagsr received 80 votes, NOR
than the Democratic strength; Col
(Rep,) IS. Goodwin (Rep.) 10, Hay
mond Dem 8, Swift (Rep.) G, Levi

THE CANDIDATES.

OF the candidates for the long term
there are James T. Farley, ]. Mem.
Shafter and Governor Newton Booth.
OF Farley mention is made else
where Shafter is lawyer, man of
great wealth, and is brother of the late
Supreme Judge Shafter. He served as
State Senator from San Francisco for
several terms, and presided over the
Senate during the impeachment trial Of
Judge Hardy. 1t will doubtless occur to
our readers that Booth is now Governor
of California, and that the Sacramento
Union has used his name in connection
with the Senatorship.
Hager, nominee for the short term,
was for some years Judge Of the Fourth
District Court in San Francisco, and
afterwards Senator from that county
He is an able lawyer. Cole, Republican
served one term in the Lower House o.
Congress; succeeded James McDougal
in the United States Senate; two years
ago was defeated for party nomination
by A. A. Sergeant Goodwin is Re
publican, and an ex-senator from Yuba
Raymond is Democrat and a lawyer by
profession. Swift is an Independent
Assemblyman from San Francisco. Lew
is is Democrat, formerly Senator from
Tehama, and was defeated for Lieuten
ant Governor two years sgo. Edgertol
was Senator in 1S60-'61; ran for Con
gress in 1861 on the Union Democratic
ticket, and was defeated. He is now
Senator from Sacramento, and an indie

JAMES r.. FARLEY.

The additional prominence given TO
this gentleman's name by his nomina-
ton in the Democratic caucus for the
United States Senate, makes q brief re-
reference TO his antecedent history a
matter of public interest. He is vet
eran politician. and is as well known to
Californians as any man in the State.
He has bees prominent as member oil
various Democratic State Conventions,
and though always regarded as shreWd
politician, he has ever stood high In pub
lie estimation as a man of unimpeachs-
BILE integrity, whose whole life has been
marked by signal fidelity to his friends.
He is, SO we are told by gentleman
who has known him intimately for over
twenty years, native of either Virginia
or Kentucky, and came to California
from Missouri as early as 1852. He is a
self-mads man. and by close application
to study he las acquired thorough
knowledge OF law. He has been prac.
Using attorney at the bar in Amador and
adjoining counties during his residence
of more than twenty years in Amadol
county. He was twice elected to tn,
Assembly, and was once Speaker Of tina
body. In 1869 he was elected to thu
State Senate, and was reelected in 1878
His nomination in caucus by the Demo
cratic members, with the probability o
an election, is high compliment to
man of his age, he being now not exceed
ing IS years old. He is regarded q
sound on the great issue now pendin
between the people and the monopolies

people on the continent, or islands there
Of, are proper rulers Of the country they
occupy; and that the cruel and despotic
acts on the part Of European Govern
ments to suppress and prevent the liber-
ty Of such people are to be deprecated,
as contrary to the genius of American
progress and it is the duty of the United
States, whenever the people Of Cuba, or
any other part of America, indicate q
desire to throw off the European yoke, to
recognize and sympathize with them
and that in view Of the recent events hu-
manity dictates an early recognition OF
Cuban independence.
The resolutions were referred. But il
any such resolution had been offered ten
years ago there would have been an arbi
trary arrest. But times have changed
you know.
