New HANPsHGRE.-The first gun OF

thousand m.jo'ity Of the popular vote,
while last year the plurality was only

encouraging Indication, but from read

just enough Of Democracy in this Nation

PASS Him ARoUND.-Mr. j. II. Real
lives i'll Delaware. He was desirous OF
seeing how his name would look in print
so he wrote letter to Speaker Kerr,
asking that gentleman if he would be q
Pre- dcntial candidate. Mr.. Kerr will
not. but he answered Mr.. j. II. Reall's
letter, and that was all that was wanted
Mr.. j. III. Reall publishes Mr.. Kerr's
letter and takes that method of nformine
the world that there is such person as
}. II. Reall in it. But for Mr.. Reall's
tholghfulness we might have passed
from earth without the bissful knowledge
that there was II j. ii. Reall in it. But.
since Mr.. Reall has come to the surface
through Spea ker Kerr's assistance. we
are wiling to help pass his name around.
Trinity folks who 60 TO the Centennial at
Philadelphia are informed that j. II.
Real lives in Delaware, and can write.

THE San Jose Patriot gets off good
one on the Senate. 1t says: The Senate
seem to think race horses more valuable
adjunct Of society than newspapers. Inc
attractions the four-mile race exerted on
the members of that honorable body are
well remembered and now, in the same
day, they pass two bills against journal
ism. and defeat another to prevent pool
selling on horse races. Betting on horse
raees, according to the Senatorial way OF
thinking, is a pastime not to be discour-
aced. but if man writes newspaper
article without putting his signature toit,
punish him severely.

Az IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Su-
prcme Court Of tie United States has
rendered unanimous decision, declaring
the Passenger Act" Of the California
Legislature unconstitutional. This is the

Ch'cse females for immoral purposes.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.-The
Republican State Central Committee have
issued q call for State Convention, to
inject ia Sacramento on the oath of uext
month. The chief duly falling upon
taa state Convention will be the choice
of delegates to the National Convention
which meets at Cincinnati on the lth Of
june. We are not aware that there will
be amy strife for thcpo-itions ofdecgates,
other than llpt which may grow out of
ihc dy:irc OF lending Republicans in this
State for the honor Of representing the
lniv in it, National Convention in the
Centennial year. So far as preferences
ior Pre- idautal candidates are concerned,
we are pot aware that these have been
expressed to any great extent among
Cn,iio'uians, though the friends of Mr.
Blaine appear TO be more numerous and
ont - ken thar those of any other one
c.ul'datc.
We hope, however that the State Con-
ntion viii use wisdom and discretion in
its chaice OF delegates The success OF
the Republican party depends upon who
flaA b. lis Presidential nominees. and
upon the material Of which the National
Convection viii be composed. 50 for
the position ofd4lagatcs we do not want
nnyrp ty lacks, whose reputation will
not tnai the test of the closest scrutiny,
but "" want Caiirornia's d litigation to be
OF the best men the ranks Of the party
can furnish. And we want these dele.
gate selected III the same liberal spirit
mani.c,ted ia the test proposed, and in
the basis of epfcscltition selected. The
Republican State Central !Committee,
recognizing that the Iudcpcnlcnt party
is composed in the main Of those who are
re. uJicou in principle, based the appor-
tio1ment upon the combin.d vote for
Puells and Hid~ell, and adopted IL liberal
test for llo,e Offering to take part in the
proceedings. Opposition to the resto-
laIon to power ofthe D,m cratic party"
nnl intention to act in good faith with
t"o A. Pu''lt'H parry, Is test which
can be a.son'ed 70 by Republicans, Inde-
Ieadents, aud, since the leaders Of the
pomoc acy have shown the spirit which
will ildIence them should that party
once obtain luli sway, by moderate Dem
ccra-s. But, tocommand the unitel sup
port OF these classes Of voters, the Ma
tionCl Conycation must select standard
balrars againat whom not even the breath
OF su picion has been levcled. This is
why We say "sond no party hacks to rep
