Only Timothy Guy.

1t is feeble attempt to guy the
public, that of the Republican State
Convention in nominating TIMOTHY
GUY PHELPS for Governor. 1t was
SARGENT and GoRHAM and BORUCK
that did it. They had everything
their own way; and their own way
was to nominate man who will be
beaten ten thousand votes. The
offices seemed to go a-begging. AS
soon as it became evident that SAR-
GENT and GORHAM controlled the
Convention, candidates became as
scarce as blades of grass in Kansas or
Republicans in San Francisco. Lead
ing Republicans saw at once that the
goose of their party was emphatically
cooked for this campaign, and not
wishing to be sacrificed, they refused
to go before the Convention. PHELPS
was nominated by acclamation, and a
silen ce like that of funeral fell over
the assemblage. 1t was a death blow
to the honest Republicans of the State.
PHELPS is, perhaps, the most unpop-
ular man that could be presented for
the suffrages of the people. He is an
extreme Radical, and does not know
that the war is over. He is the prob
able author of that fanatical and blood
thirsty production known as the ad-
dress of the Republican State Central
Committee, and it will COM
prise his campaign speech. In
speech which he made from
the balcony of the st. George
Hotel, Sacramento in 1861, he wanted
TO hang every Southern man in
the State, and he would express the
same sentiment now if he thought it
would catch the popular ear. He was
in the State Senate from Francisco in
1860 or '6l. In 1862 he was elected to
Congress from this District, which then
included San Francisco. He was af-
terward appointed Collector of Gus
toms for San Francisco, and has al
ways been sort of man FRIDAY to
the Federal Office ring. He has no
sympathy with the people, and if he
should chance to be elected GoRHAM
would be Governor.

SOMETHING should be done to save
the graded streets. 1t is neither eco-
nomical nor wise to expend large
sums in grading streets and then
leave them to be converted into dust
and blown away. The lately grad ed
portion of Spring street has become
almost as dusty as before the improv-
ment was made. Sprinkling would
save the street and abate the nuisance
to which the residents on either side
of the street are now subjected. The
authorities should set their wits to
work and devise some means for reg
ularly sprinkling all the graded
streets in the city. Unless something
OF this kind is done very soon the
grading in few localities will disap-
pear in dust.

The Railroad and Politics.

1t is noticeable and gratifying fact
that the Southern and Central Pa
cific Railroad Companies are taking
no part in the political campaign now
progressing in this State. This is a
new order of things, and will,we trust,
prove the beginning of more health
ful era in the history of California pol
itics. For some years past-in fact,
almost from the organization of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company,
that corporation has taken an active
part in every campaign that has oc-
Cured in our State. The causes which
led the company into politics have
never, we believe, been clearly under
stood by the people. Many of these
causes have passed away, and as nei-
ther they nor their attendant conse-
quences will be likely to again present
themselves before the public, there is
now no necessity for attempting an
explanation of them. The one great
cause was that of self-defense, and as
circumstances may again compel the
company to assume that attitude, it is
legitimate subject for discussion.
Certain once influential journals in
this State, from motives which were
perhaps more selfish than any that
ever actuated the railway managers,
assumed an aggressive policy toward
them, and by constant iteration of
wrongs, fancied or real, perpetrated on
the public by the railway company,
created prejudice against them which
the willy and unscrupulous dragged
into politics, more for the purpose OF
| elf-aggrandiZement than a desire to
defend the rights of the community.
Finding themselves likely to be at
tackled in the Executive, Legislative
and Judicial branches of our State
Government the railroad company
realized the necessity for defending
themselves with the same weapons
used in attacking them, and oul
political campaigns soon assumed
the complexion of railroad and
anti-railroad. In these contests the
corporation was assailed in the most
virulent and in many instances unjust
manner, by men and journals who
sought to excite and use the prejudices
of the people for the purpose of secu.
| ring to themselves the emoluments
and patronage. of Office. They were
met and cOmbatted at the ballot-box
by the railroad company, campaign
after campaign, up to the convenine
of the last Legislature, when it was
found that the anti-railroad faction
possessed the strength necessary te
