As a general rule the regular dyed-in-
secesh Democratic journals
carry off the palm for cool impudence
and bare, bald, unsupported assertion,
and the above extract, taken from Wintry
Williams owp. is an example of what
they can do in the line of arrogant as
sumption and abuse of all who dare OPP
pose their high mightinesses. Is it not
droll thing to see the Democratic jour
nails attempting to make political capital
on the question o. regulating fares and
freights, when they have been the chief
stumbling block in the way of settle
ment Of that matter? For instance, look
at the proceedings of the California Leg
islature. 1t will be found that the men
who stubbornly fought all attempts to
control the railroads were most OF then
Democrats. II we recollect right, Farley
of Amador county, leading Democrat
was Chairman Of the House Committee

ing the bill for the regulation of fares
and freights. True that occurred IN Cal
ifornia, but we have no reason to believe
that Democratic Legislators would act
differently in this State. Their profess
sions about regulating the abuses of the
railroad system are, as Kendall says,
mere moonshine and nothing more, for
when it comas to the pinch they are no,
there. Next they pretend to be shocked
because Sharon is candidate for the
Senate. Poor thingsl it is pity
that their delicate sensibilities should
be outraged, especially When
we recollect that it is the same party
which elected Morrissey, the expire
fighter, to Congress, and used to send
Boss Tweed SO regularly to the New
York State Senate. The party which
could stand acts of that character have
right to be shocked when respectable
man, who has done more for his Stat
than any Of its other citizens, has tn
boldness to ask the people to send hin
to the United States Senate. Such reck
less hardihood is shocking, is it not

worthy and useful citizen, whose only

show the animus OF the men by whom
they are made. Spite and malignity
contend with falsehood for the mastery
and it is difficult to tell which of thes

had gained any portion OF his fortune by
any other than legitimate means, his
tireless, merciless enemies would long

taxed Sharon with it. The trouble
with them is that not one OF the tribe car

Sharon has not conducted his affairs

makes them mad, and they allow thei
rage to 80 far overcome their reason, q
to sit down and write such absur

Chronicle. They know that there i
