HON. GEORGE c. GORHAM.

Republican party of the Pacific Coast, the
traducing of George C. Gorham has been con-
spicuOus.
With a fearless, self reliant logic, and unfal-
tering adherence to his own views in the mat
ter of party rights and party duty, Mr.. Cor
ham has been the inconvenient stumbling
block of every canting hypOcrite who has
sought to weaken true Republicanism, or
mould it to the base uses of Demagogism
Capital, or Spurious Reform.
As the years succeed each other, it becomes
apparent why the attempt was made by the Z
p r. r. Company to Ostraclse Mr. Gorham
and that other California stalwart, ex-Sena-
tor Sargent, from the councils of the Repub-
lcan party.
1t is obvious to all, that neither Gorham
nor Sargent were pliable. and that neither
would consent for the sake of mere temporary
success at the elections to hand over the Re
publican party as the bound thrall of that pow
erful corporation. Hence was it that the
Chronicle piled it's venality in the interest of
the rule or ruin policy of the railroads, and
sought to destroy forever the political lntiu-
ence of both these men.
Hence was it also that the Railroad en-
ployment gave its balancing strength to the
Democratic party, and elected such man as
Jim Farley to succeed Mr.. Sargent. OF
piece with the same corrupt hypocricy was,
and has been, the unceasing demand that Mr..
Gerham should expatriate himself: and keep
hands off of California politics.
All has been to no purpose. The Republic
can party, driven into a minority by these
means, has discovered the real cause of its ad-
versity, and stands to-day in grand phalanx
to the support of the principles and the men
that have during the years been the chart and
helmsmen that have saved it from utter de-
struction. 1t calmly faces the numerical
strength and unscrupulOusness of its combined
antagonists, and CALAMITY bears aloft the old
banners 1t tells the people in unmistakable
terms where are their true interests, and
opens its ranks for such accesslons as Will
make irresistible the party and the principles
that have never yet betrayed the rights OF our
common humanity.
ErOmlnCnL among ali tiIG H1uttS wiz ak
identified in preserving to the Republican
party its rightful place and attitude, we hest
tate not to say that we discover Mr., Gorham
in the forefront He seeks no office, but has
the nerve and the ability to contribute his
advice and his aid to the establishment of the
true political doctrines, whether his course
meets the approval of chivs, socialists, or any
other class of traitors. Endowed with extra
ordinary knowledge and experience as to both
men and politics in every part of the nation;
true as the needle to the pole in his loyalty to
the Republic; wise among the wisest in party
he was unanimously called to act as
Secretary of the National Republican Com
mittee after his retirement from the Secreta-
ryship of the United States Senate. Such an
means something. 1t disclOses |
to the Republicans of the Pacific Coast, that |
Mr.. Gorham is not wanting IN those repre-
sentative qualifications that conduce to the
the National Republican party in all the
States, and it is an intelligent reprimand to
the winners who persist that the party will 60
10 the demnition dogs unless they are al
lowed the lions share of nutriment We have
no doubt that Mr.. Gorham will be heard dur
ing the present campaign in California, and
hat he will on behalf Of the Republican ticket
earlessly measure swords with the railroads,
with communism, and canting, hypocritical
'eform.
Let the issue come, and let the result be
What it may. There are victories sometimes,
hat are covered from view by apparent defeat,
nut if the Republicans of Californiastand true
o their platform and ticket, the result will
re an unequivocal triumph, and California
will return its vote for Republican Presi-
ent in 1880
The APPEAL stands ready at any time to do
nstice to true men and takes pleasure in re-
alling such an one to the attention of the "
local conglomeration that is making Di
genes search for honest men in the interest 1
