The Eureka SENTINEL advocates the
election Of the stock gambler, Mark
Mcdonald, 10 the United States Senate
to all the place Of A. A. Sargent. soon
TO be made vacant By reason Of the ex-
psration OF his term OF Office. The
grounds Of the SENTINEL fof McDon-
aids election are that he has spent
more money than any one else In Cal
isoruia In secure the lat. Democratic
victory IN that State. Further, that

date than either os the two gentlemen
named, cuts no figure with the SENTr-
MEL editor. But Henry Haight Is ~
much superior in the qualifications for
United States Senator ove either Far

t<t'er suited to the same Office than
senator Shxron.-Reno Gazette.
John p. Jones said in . public
address after his election to the Senate
that millions could be expended in an
election and no one corrupted. We
shall expect to zee the Gazette advocat-
Ing his 70 election next year. But
whether It does or not, the fact
still stands that vast sums
are required for legitimate cam
psixn purposes. It has been 90

Republic" and it will continue to be
no while organization, public speak
ing, bonfires, music aud torchlight
professions are relied upon to catch
votes. without Mark Mcdonald.
these things would not have been done
- effectually for the Democracy ia the
late election in California; and had less
been done. possibly the Republicans,
and not the Democrats, would be to-
day squabbllnR over the S~enstorship.
He devoted his time. energy and
money to promote the success Of the
Democratic party in the campaign, and
to his efforts, more than the efforts of
any other ten men in the Gulden State,
IL that party indebted for the brilliant
victory achieved at the polls. Also,
without McDonaid's money, WI may
be permitted 10 believe that such great
reform journals as the San Francisco
thropicle and Reno Gazette would not
have waged relentless war on Sargent
& Co., 10 advance the interests of the
California Democracy in general and
those Of . certain Senatorial aspirant
in particular. Our preference for
Mr.. Mcdonald Is wholly dis
Interested. We know him per-
sonally and intimately. and know
him to be In point Of ability, the peer
OF Ex-Governor Haixht or any other
gentlemen seeking the Senatorial toga.
He has . collegiate education, with
which be combines remarkable strong
n and good judgment. Unlike
Haight. he has always been q Demo
crat Of the stamp who are not ashamed
to proclaim their partisan allegiance
from the housetops. Though some.
times treated badly. notably when ri
psr overslaughed him for Congress
Mark Mcdonald has never failed to
work up steadily and faithfully in the
party harness. And above all he Is q
man Of noble impulses and a true
friend. He Is our friend, and there
fore, oil things being equal. we want to
800 him win.
