A DEMOCRAT ON THE RESULT

JUDGE ORD, OF SAY FRANCISCO, POINT
ING OUT THE CONSEQUENCES.
From The Ne,o York Graphic, last evening".
Judge Ord of ,an Fra risco, who was
at the New York Hotel this morbi z
scanning the Geographic accounts Of the
california election, says It's results are
likely TO be satisfa tory to the Guns rva-
ives OF all parties, and may lead TO the
practical disbandment Of the
Workingrnen's party whose success was
essential tn IT'S continued existence.
" he Republicans" he said, s.seem to
have elected the g eater part of the State
Officers, while the judiciary will be
Democratic. There will, therefore, he
Two checks thrown upon the Legislature
should it tempt ~ pass the laws which
are necessary to carr,l ing out the Il
IRENE measures proposed bv the new
Constitution and the adherents of the
par les which su ported it. The State
is, Of course, Democratic ~hsn party
lines are drawn, but in the present Ease
most Of the strength Of the Workingmen
was drawn from tn. Democratic party.
1t is a patty which caDnot live long sine
its avO~ed object Is to rai.e a contest
with capital for their bread, and who
ave usually, am sorry to say, had thei,
votes for sale.
Now the Governor will have a veto
power, which he wilt doubtless exercise,
and conservative Supreme Court will
have the in expectation of the new laws.
IL VIII be found that there arr two posi-
bile ways of interpreting almost every
hing under the new Constitution, and
between the Governor and the courts
the new party will find its progress stop
ped. All the Conservatism, brains and
capital of all paItie have been against
it; and, although / am a Democrat, 1
am satisfied with the result, as most
o.her democrat. will be. In ia I, many
conservative Democrats voted for Per-
kins (Republican) for governor, and
many conservative Republicans voted
for the Democratic judges. Perkins Is
able, honest, accompl shed, wealthy and
popular. He ma e his money Ia trade
and in California, be.inuing In q small
way, and ! ow controls a large coasti. 9
trade, running steamship line to the
southern section Of the State.
