SECRETARY GoRHAM, of the National
Republican Committee, gives rough
thrust to President Hayes The. coun.
try as been flooded with kilograms
for weeks informing US just how much
of his means Mr.. Hayes has contrib
uted to the support of his party, the
obvious purpose being to convince the
world that Mr.. Hayes was loyal to the
Republican cause, and also TO furnish
a noble example to the great army Of
lesser Office holders. But Gorham now
comes to the front and says if Mr..
Hayes has contributed one cent to the
Republican cause he is not aware of it.

them, refused. and they were obliged

the meeting. several transparencies,
bearing quotations from Beecher's
recent lectures were displayed. and res
alutions denouncing the Plymouth

BEECHER ON LEGISLATURES.

Henry Ward Beecher in one of his
lectures in San Francisco. said that
farmers, mechanics and men inexpe.
rienced in public affairs who are elected
to represent the people in the State
Legislatures are bought up by the
dozens. lie advises that only rich men
or those who know the value of vote
ON an important bill be elected. The
Call gives the following as the exact
language used by him on the subject of
buying lawmakers:
It has been said that you should
never go into the kitchen while, the
meals are being cooked It may also
be said you should never go into the
Legislature while it is in session. 1t
may be different in this goodly State of
California, but in the old Eastern
States, where have lived. Legislatures
have been houses of abomination, and
the persons sent up there for the pur.
pose of legislation have been about as
unfit as any person can be conceived to
be. Now and then they send great
multitudes of lawyers. Now and then
comes up Il great raging revolution;
they are going TO send up honest men,
the bone and sinew. the horny handed
sons of toll But what has been the
experience of legislation in regard to
horny handed men? They are the
most payable men.in the world. / can
buy fifty common men, taken from in
dustries. where could only buy one
lawyer in the Legislature. and for the
good reason that the lawyer knows
what he is worth.
1t is not improbable that Beecher
had some experience ~ the "buying
business" at the time of the great
scandal suit and that he found it much
cheaper to buy three or four jurors
shan one lawyer, hence his assertion
that he can buy fifty common men
taken from the industries, as the jarors
70 the scandal case were, cheaper than
be could purchase one lawyer, like
3eaoh or, Fullerton, who knew their
value.
