SENT TO THE SENATE.
By this time Booth WAS the idol Of the State
bitterly hated by masnates and their stipendia-
rics, but nuassailab1o. And yet it WAS deemed
impossible to elect him Senator; for the straight
or Carr Republicans would prefer to coalesce
however violeut, insteai of thu popular candi-
date. Such is the popular party under the CAP
tlyity Of It's own sreculations.
But the Democratic people from all over the
Sacramento, where they ,grimiy waylaid their
Legislators. saying We presume you know
whom we a1l want for Senator? There's only
one mind in our district. We'll hold every
man responsible who sells the State out Of
Newton Booth, as much AZ if vi. had seen tie
money counted out to him By Billy Carr.
Aud 80 the last battle Of this clean campaign
was fought. Through it ALL neither Stanford
nor Sargent, nor the Hopkinses, moran Of them,
spoke to Gov. Booth any moro than il he had
committed crime. The State Government Was
wholly divorced from The political and commer-
cia1 consplracies within it, aud both tho old par
ties switched off,, like couple OF wrecking
trains. la little above one year. ths Anti-Ao-
nopo1y interest of the country will haye ut least
Que Senator at Washington to transfer what has
heretofore been : local contest to the national
arena.
Gov. Booth believes in no government CON-
petlls railroad, OF tho style OF Logau's and
Hur1but's. He believes that g to regulate COM
merre between the States" means to regulate
what is aud that within each State there is local
zovereisuty perpctni!!ly reside resident ., for tue tue
railroads have usl1.ped tho power OF
taxation, aud made it logically impossible, as
at present unrestrantd, to 1e3islate purely
presenting higher motives and rewards than
duty and general interest to all classes Of Of
ii.ials. Tho first work be will undertake In
Congress will be thorough investigation of the
Central Pacific KaiI.oad, III w1jcn, We presume,
he sili be assisted by Senators Stewart, Sargent,
aud Conklius, and Col. Franchot.
Gov. Bocth' is opposed to Chinese i'nmgra-
tiop long as it IL system OF contract-slayery.
where neither th, living nor the dead lea1hens
buy or bequeath property, or make homes, or
improve the lnul. IF the motives of tile inltn-
grauts wore to be different, he would welcome
them. Hc arralgus the magnates OF Callfor-
MIA for desiring to accumulate this goddess and
homeless lattir in order to otyato the incon-
yenlcuces Of sentiont and voting population.
Thus all t.sings are moving toward tho relief
OF society from organizations more potential
than government itself. GATH.
