We must have been night In our hrst
suss: The .omination Of poor old Bid

,aiess 10 . throwing up Of the sponge BY
that 6ssy-tus,y faction Of political spin
sssss and comfortless. hen-pecked hus-
bands. We find out from the California
papers much more than was apparent in
the 6rst news from Sacramento. 1t seems
that Catlin WAS Fitch and Pickering's
candidate against Estee. John Swift
and Estee quarreled, months since, as
has heretofore been stated in the APPEAL.
The Bulletin Call management Threatened
to bolt and kick and raise . disturbance
generally il Estee was nominated. Old
Bidwell was club to break whichever
back should first be struck with it. Estee
drew out first and sent his forces to Bid
we'll. This smashed the Bulletin slate
and defeated that weak sister and chronic
sniveller around political conventions.
A. p. Catlin. of Sacramento. So it
seems that Bidwell was nothing but
Jack-at-a-pinch, and the Jack-at-a-pinch
Of such . Master Forcible Feeble as
Morris n. Estee. As to the convention
itself. the Post says:
In the much abused Gorham Con-
veution Al counties were represented by
$50 delegates. with only 43 proxies. The
much vaunted Independent Convention
has 2S2 delegates from only IS counties.
with So proxies. OF these proxies y are
from San Francisco. There's consisten-
cy for You.
The same paper says: This State
Convention is the next thing TO fizzle
in point of numbers. and must have
been . complete failare but for proxies"
OF poor old Bidwell the Pos; talks in the
following straightforward fashion:
John BidwelI. Who has been selected
to lead the ranks of the Dolly Warden re-
formers, il about as appropriate nom
ination rs they could have made. He is
. piece of Domposity. Who has nothing
to recommend him bat his wealth. He
Is . farmer. as the Duke Of Sutherland
il . farmer. or the Marquis of Butte is .
farmer-that is to say. he owns q prin-
eipality of land which overseers cultivate
for him with hired laborers. He served
ono term in Congress, and introduced
and had passed the infamous Suscol
Ranch Bill, by which three hundred
settlers in good faith were robbed of
their homes-an atroc;ous villiany which

The Sacramento Record Onion, COM
merting upon old Tu,nip Top and his
speech to the assembled Belly achers, in
forms M that 1.-THE Independent Con-
vention yesterday nominated Gen. John
Bidwell for Governor. and the nominee
made . speech which. whatever else it
may do. will land ought toy assure
him the support Of the temperance vote
the State. He stated that he
had pulled up his wine-bearing vinea,
and planted rasin grapes in their stead,
because he would not be q party to q |
business which. in his opinion. is re-
eponsible for more than two-thirds Of the |
crime, destitution and misery e1tant."
Then follows the following speculation
By the same paper:
Whether the thirty-six hundred saloon |
keepers Of San Francisco will join the
and mining counties Of the
in "solemn league and COW
enant' to elect General Bidwell out of |
respect to his principles, is . question
which. after all. principally concerns the
Independents, and. as they have already
declared themselves an ephemeral or
ganization, perhaps this nomination was
to ease them gently down to
the vanishing point.
In its review Of the tickle: the San
francisco Chronicle, while giving its sup
port to tine same, admits that it is made
up Of Office seekers, Office holders and
old politicians. Take look at the NOM
inees: John Bidwell was . member Of
the State Senate in 1850; delegate to
the Charleston Convention in 1860;
candidate for the nomination for Gov
ernor in the Fourth Of July Convention
held at Sacramento in 1861; Q member
Of the Thirty-fifth Congress; candidate
for Governor in 1867-twhen Gorham
horsed him); a candidate for the nomi-
nation that Phelps got. and now turns
