On Wednesday next the Democrat.
ic convention will assemble, at Erie
for the purpose of nominating a candi.
date for Governor and for State Treas.
urer. As upon the result of the contest
In this State will depend, in a great
measure, the Presidential election In
1875, much interest is evinced by the
people in regard to its action. The
Republicans have already placed their
standard bearer in the field, while the
masses of the Democracy are in state
OF expectancy, and await with anxiety
the determination of their State conven-
tion, In order to say whether they shall
enter the campaign with enthusiasm
or permit their opponents to ride over
the course unchecked, without even
show of resistance. The fact is unde-
niable, that as this convention acts SO
will the Democratic masses. II it be
controlled by Ringsters, and the nomi-
nees be in their interests, certain and
inevitable defeat will be the fate of the
Democratic ticket, and Republican
victory ensured. The masses OF the
Democratic party, like those of the Re.
publican party, have learned wisdom.
They are not to be led by false leaders
by men who think more of individual
advancement and aggrandlzement than
the good of the State or the welfare of
the people. Within the short space of
n year a spirit OF independence has
taken hold of the latter, and they In.
tend thinking and acting for them
selves. They will not be led or guided
by political leaders unless their own
good common sense aud conscience tells
them the path Is the sure and correct
one. The day for blindfoldng them,
and leading them to the ballot-bo to
vote against their own best interests,
has gone by. They are capable now of
weighing both men and measures, and
intend that their power shalt be felt.
Hence it is that each and every con-
Ventlon OF both the great po litleal par
ties has for them an interest which they
never felt before. Quietly, yet think
ingly, and with deep resolve. they
watch the movements of leaders. and
will decide for themselves the political
battle, They have the power, aud,
knowing 1t, they will use it to the best
advantage.

Tie Bank of California.

Business was dragging, and even
stocks were extremely langnid, in New
York, when the quiet of the market
was broken, Friday morning, by the
announcement of the failure OF the
Bank of California. followed by the
suspension of the Merchants Exchange
Bank and the National Gold Bank and
Trust Company, and also the failure
of the large sugar house of Stirling,
Ahrens g. Co., in Baltimore. For a
time there was great excitement, says
the N. Y. Observer, but to day the
public mind seems to be hopeful that
these failures, unexpected aud large
though they have been, will be local in
their effects.
1t is asserted that the panic in San
Francisco is at an end, and that the
excitement has been allayed, so far as
the sound institutions are concerned,
by the relief afforded through the tele.
graph by the Treasury Department.
The Death of Mr.. Ralston will doubt
less complicate the affairs OF the Bank
OF California. at least to the extent of
delaying statement of its condition,
for Mr., r. had full control OF the in
stitution, and perhaps few besides him
self had an intimate knowledge of its
operations. Information is furnished,
however, from what it claimed to be a
reliable source, that the liabilities will
exceed fourteen millions, and placing
the reliable assets at between seven and
eight millions.
The Bank OF California was supposed
to be one Of the strongest institutions
In the cou untry. 1t had capital of S5,-
600, 900, and had many important
branches and agencies. The President,
w. @: Ralston, whose death while bath
ing the day after the failure Of the
Bank gives the painful impression of
suicide, was widely known as brill
liant fnancler, and lived In a style that
has no parallel on the Atlantic &C asst.
His house was a palace, and the ex-
travagence OF its appointments and
management has been cften portrayed.
Prudent men have often said that the
time OF disaster would come but so
shrewd and successful have been the
operations and enterprises of the late
President of the Bank of California, so
vast his command OF capital and so
powerful his political influence, that
many have believed that his case would
form an exception to the general rule

sitions, much to the disgust of honest
citizens, and injury of the party to
which they attach themselves. Owing
to this fact, corruption creeps into high
places, and the party itself is brought
into disgrace. 1t is matter of regret
that men Of low character and of no re-
putation in society-yes, even crimi-
nals, who have been pardoned out of
prison, where, for the good of society,
they should have remained-have been
placed in some of the most lucrative
Offices In the gift of the Republican
party and its leaders. Honest men,
true Republicans and workers in the
ranks, have been coldly passed by, and
the fat positions given to those who did
not deserve them, but who should have.
il only for decency's sake, beer kept
in political obscurity. The hackers of
game of keno, of lottery shops, and of
dens of moral corruption, have been
favored by the powers that be, and
placed in positions. Is it any wonder,
then, that the people view this state, of
affairs with feeling of disgust +? Is it
not natural to expect that defeat will
eventually be brought to the party
which tolerate acts of this character
How can offices be honestly administer
ed, when the occupants are ex.crimi-
mails I? Our leading politicians and Of
flee holders ought certainly to know
that, when they appoint such men to
position, they will use it for the pur-
pose of filling their own pockets, and
will, when tired of filching the public
Golfers, turn upon their masters and be,
tray their secrets. Instances of this
kind are to be found in our city, and
1t is high time that a change should be
brought about. just so long as known
ex-criminals are put into Office will the
party be disgraced, and its overthrow
become merely matter of time. Let
Republican leaders, Republican Office
holders, and candidates cut loose from
all such associations, and they will and
it for the best interests of the party, and
their own individual advantage.
