A
DANGER FOR THE DEMOCRACY.
Under this head the San Francisco
Stock Exchange comments as follows
on the result of the Senatorial election
ia Alameda:
In the unexpected success of Bones,
the Workingmen's candidate for State
Senator in Alameda, we see danger
ahead for the Democracy. Long head
ed leaders of that party have been
shifting the same danger for months,
and to that apprehension, perhaps, as
much as to any thing else, may be at
tributed the apathy with which our
municipal officers for SO long a time
regarded the Kearney agitation. They
hoped it would die out without the
necessity of an effort to break it up. 1t
has not done so, quite the contrary in
deed. And now the Democratic mu'
nicipal government and Democratic
LEGISLATURE find themselves confronted
by a rebellion, the extent of which is
partially indicated by the Alameda re.
turns of yesterday. Said a prominent
Democratic Senator on Thanksgiving
Day, as he saw the procession OF work.
ingmen go by, "If that thing keeps up
we may prepare to let go both State
and city governments at the next cleo

the same day remarked: "This looks
bad for the Democracy !" The result
in Alameda showsthat both these poll

gether received 2,S5l votes. Yesterday
Crane received 1900 and Bones 2,624.
Therefore Bones drew less than a
thousand votes from Republican
strength, but nearly two thousand from
the Democratic strength. Ii this move.
ment continues we may look for a gen.
eral upheaval in the politics OF this
State.
The Exchange might have gone a lit
tie further and predicted disaster for
both of the old parties. The Working
men and those who sympathize with
them, if united, are abundantly able to
control the politics Of California if they
should set to work in earnest to do it.
The same is true of Nevada, only in an
increased ratio. There is no State in
the Union where the laboring class so
largely predominates as in Nevada. 1t
will stand both of the old parties in
hand to SO shape their policy as not to
antagonize this powerful element. 1t
would sweep things in Nevada, if it
ever concluded to enter the political
arena independent of existing political
organizations.
