SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA.
After a spell of miserable cold

POLITICAL.

There is trouble in the New Hampshire
Democratic party. Col. Bailey, ofthe Patri-
OF, objects to having things 'cut and dried
unless he has hand in the business.
The great problem with the Illonois
Republicans appears to be: "What shall we
do with the currency question:" Several
weeks ago the State organ of the party declar-
ed unequivocally that the coming convention
must indorse Senators Logan and Oglesby
and their initiation ideas. A majority of the
other Republican journals of the State oppose
this proposition, and are divided about eqnal-
ly between these two plans ofaction: l. To
openly indorse the veto and the the hard mon
ey policy. .. To take no action whatever
on the subject. The discussion grows hotter
each day.
The Democrats of Kansas recently issued
circulars to some of the faithful, asking them
to join in sort of Bourbon reunion. One Of
these circulars happened to be sent to an hon
replied as follows:
l have been firmly impressed for several
years with belief that the mission of the
Democratic party was ended-that at Balti-
more, in 1872, it as an organization, had
breathed its last, that over it, at the general
election of that year, the offices paid to the
dead had been performed-that the Democra-
tic party was now properly buried, and that
nothing now was needed but to suffer it to be
forgotten as fast as possible.

THE SANBORN CONTRACTS.

The passage of the bill in the House re-
pealing the law under which the Sanborn
contracts were effected, shows the right
kind of temper in that body towards this
instrument of abuse and injustice SO inn
pressed were the members with the neces-
sity of abolishing the law that no one
spoke or voted against it. Although it mad
been reported that General Butler was
prepared to speak agains, the repeal, he sat
silent in the House during It's passage,
making no sign of opposition.
The House has thus discharged its duty
in relation to this matter as well as to that
relating to the moiety system lis voice
Is unanimous for repeal in both cases 1t
Is to the honor OF the republican members
that they led the way in removing these
sources of corruption, although the invcs-
legations bore against officials in their own
party. 1t is owing to the fearless and honest
manner in which Dawes and Foster have
conducted that the repeal in the House is
SO complete. The Senate will show as
good record upon matters we hope as
the House. 1t is clear that the republicans
are in earnest in pushing reform.

TIE TENDENCY OF DEuocRACY

The views expressed in our colun n up
on the election of Mr.. Eaton to the United
States Senate coincide with those express
ed by other republican papers. An edi-
torial in the Albany journal says: 1.-The
plain obvious meaning of the election of
such a man as Mr.. Eaton to the United
States Senate from Connecticut is that the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1874-05-30

Democratic party is under control of its
most ultra elements Nor is there anything
in the surrounding circumstances which
puts different aspect upon it. Both the
character Of the man and the whole spirit
of the movement emphasize this conclu-
sion.
If Mr.. Eaton had been pre-eminently
distinguished as a broad and well-trained
statesman, his selection might have been
explained upon that ground. If he had
won special distinction upon the class of
questions which are now coming to the
front his Bourbonism might in some meas
urse have been condoned. If he had been
exalted above all others for his personal
integrity, that might have given differ
ent appearance to the choice. But in not
one Of these respects can he show any SUI
perior qualifications. He is not a states
man but a partisan. On the practical
questions Of the present time he has made
no such reputation as Gov. Ingersoll And
while we believe he is man of personal
honesty. he does not in this particular ex-
Gel many others, and it gives him no supe-
rior claim.
The truth is, Mr.. Eaton's only distinc-
ton is as a strong, intense, unbendlng
partisan, who led his party in the most
violent opposition to the war. Outside Of
his own State he has not been known
except for his intemperatc and embittered
hostility to the Government during the
struggle for the Union And it is re-
ward for just this long unpatriotic course
that he is now sent to the Senate. Not
only did he not forfeit his rank by such
unyielding warfare against the effort to
preserve the Union, but he made it the
very badge Of his leadership. We are
told to let by-gones be by-gones. But
when man is taken up and sent to the
national councils simply because of his
anti-war Democracy, the country cannot
overlook the challenge.
Not only the political character of Mr..
Eaton and the spirit of the representatives
who made him their choice but the tenn
per of the Democratic comments since de-
termne the significance of this election.
They do not hesitate to say that he is a
Bourbon. They glory in the name. They
say Bourbons are just as essential as any
other class. They contend tina. such men
ought not to suffer in the public estimation
for their sympathy with rebellion and hos
tiity to the Government. 1t may be that
the people of the country are prepared to
endorse this sentiment, and sustain the
Democratic prarty in carrying it out, but
we do not believe it.
All the recent action of the Democracy
is in the same line. The election of Allen
for Governor of Ohio, the nomination of
Fernando Wood for Speaker of the House,
and now the choice of Mr.. Eaton for the
Senate, all mean the same thing. The
country means something quite different. y
