RETURNING BOARD WELLS is
enacting just now in New Orleans,
with respect to President Hayes,
the role of "Save me Cassius or L
sink" A jury is after Mr.. Wells
with relentless vigor, and the great
Judas Of American politics squeals.
He says the President must protect
him or Hayes shall go down with
him. What an inspiriting thing it
is to have a man in the White
House who was made President by
lot of indicted criminals? Mr..
Hayes cannot ignore these people
because lie has appointed them to
office as part reward for the most
Infamous act in American politics.
We trust that malefactor Wells
will make q clean breast of every
thing; and that, when he has done
SO, some niche will be found for
him in penitentiary. We claim
a high standard of morality in the
United States, but we shall find
some difficulty in establishing our
pretension hereafter unless we
cleanse our politics. Let Wells
tell all he knows without regard to
who may be damaged by the reve-
lation.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-01-31

WE fail to see any evidence that
the Democratic party intends to
evade its duty of calling Consti-
tutional Convention. Such body
is needed if only to provide for
yearly sessions of the Legislature.
The present system of biennial ses-
sions is one of the most grievous
nuisances the people of any State
have ever labored under. AS the
Constitution reads now bad law
must stand for two years without
possibility of repeal. Mr.. Hollo-
way, of this county, has introduced
a bill calling a Constitutional Con-
vention and we have no doubt
some proper measure will be passed.
AS for the suggestion that the
Democratic party distrusts the
workingmen, it is simply absurd,
as it is itself the party of the work
ing men.
