THERE have been few more ig'

THERE nave been rev more lS-
nominious retreats than that OF
Hayes from his civil service edict.
Departing from the customs of his
predecessors, he issued an order
which confiicted with the self-re-
spect and invaded the rights of all
office.holders by forbiddlng them
to act as officers of any club or or
ranization or to subscribe to any
political fund. With the action OF
any office-holder, outside of the
sphere Of his official duty, Mr..
HAYES has absolutely nothing to
do. The office.holder and the citi-
zen are entirely separate and dis
tinct. But, having made this In
famous and uncalled for innova-
ton, which had come with q bad
grace from q man who had deluged
the South with his partizans to as
sist in bull-dozing the electoral
votes Of several States Of that sec
ton, he should at least have aimed
to be consistent. Every intelli-
gent and self-respecting man read
with disgust his letter modifying
his original order; and, prior to
that they had seen john Sherman,
his Secretary of the Treasury,
stamping Ohio in violation OF Its
express pledges. The public dis
gust cannot fail to have been
largely increased by Hayes's an
swer to the carpet-bag Senator
Dorsey, the other day. On being
asked If he had any objection to
Office holders contributing to the
Republican Congressional cam
paign fund, Hayes replied that h'
rot only had no objection but tina
he would contribute as much a
possible to that fund himself! Thl
IL in keeping with the character o
a man who is protested advocate
of temperance but who served
Roman punch to his guests in or
apges which had been followed out
thus whipping the devil around TIT
stump in manner of which any
ordinary shyster would b'
ashamed. Thus President Hayes
is evidently, morally ant
politically, only a man OF mere
shreds and patches. He is YER
liable political Jim Crow, and II
as lacking in stability as in abil
ity. His inconsistencies and lit
licensees, however, have not beer
greater than might have been ex
pected of a man who could permit
himself to accept an office tt
which he knew he was not elected
There was an Inconsistency in that
in person who was supposed to b'
man of honor, which explains al
other Inconsistencies.

WE have received a letter from
a sterling Democrat of San Buena'
ventura who informs us that, on
the 18th inst, the leading Demo-
Gratis of that section had held a
consultation TO determine what was
best 10 do under the call of the
Democratic State Central Commit.
tee for a non-partizan Convention
at Sacramento on the ODD inst, to
nominate delegates at large. Our
correspondent informs US that the
Democracy will nominate Demo-
cTat from Ventura county, but the
question of district delegates and
the question of representation in
the Sacra mento Convention are the
striking points. He says the pre-
yailing sentiment at San Buena-
ventura is to recommend the call
ing of a Congressional District
Convention in Los Angeles, on
some day to be designated, for the
purpose of nominating eight dele
gates for this district and issuing a
stirring appeal to all Democrats,
Conservatives and Workingmen to
join in electing them. The San
Buenaventura Democracy also
think that resolutions should he
passed condemning the last Legis-
lature for not realizing the just ex'
pectations of the people.
We have been as much embar
raised in Los Angeles as the Ven
tura Democracy confess themselves
to be as to the nomination of dele
gates at large for the Fourth Con
gressional district. The Democrat
ic State Central Committee seen
TO have Numbered sadly in all thi
business. In the first place thu
call has been UNDECIDED in Sal
Francisco and joint Republican
and Democratic ticket for the eigh
delegates at large is already in tn,
field. We do not think that South
ern California will be largely rep
resented in the Sacramento Con
vention. In order to avoid q null
tiplicity of candidates, however
we would suggest, first, that, al
some point in the Congressiona
district, midway between SAINTS
Clara and San Diego county, say
Bakersfield, such public spirited cit
liens as feel like it, should assem-
BILE and elect delegates to the Sac
ramepto Convention. Failing
In that we would recommend I
Fourth District Convention TO nom
fnate the delegates at large. /
might be prudent to participate il
the Sacramento Convention, but Il

see any signs of an energetic move

Should the Sacramento Conven'
tien prove TO be an outright fiasco

In view of these statements, the
