DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.
THE Democracy viii support Glenn.
while Glenn will oppose the De.
mOcracy.

A San Francisco correspondent of the
Record Union gives the following details
Of the recent Democratic State Central
Committee meeting. The retention of
Glenn, after his having repudiated the
balance OF the Democratic State Ticket, is
an instance of servile fawning heretofore
unpara lelled in the annals Of Democracy.
1t is asking Democrats TO vote for a man
who plainly tells them he will not vote
for Democrats. This action will drive
thousands of Democrats to the support Of
Hon Geo. G. Perkins, the Republican,
nominee. So may it be:
When the committee met last Saturday
| the fret bus siness was action on the mo-
tion OF Il. ID. Stephens, OF Sacramento,
| to take Glenn off the ticket. Substitutes
were introduced 10y Thompson, OF Sonoma
aud Roach, OF San Francisco, TO the gen,
eral effect that whereas the State ConveD-
| tiOn had nom mated Glenn that there fore
| the committee possessed no power To re-
move him. The two were adopted to-
ge.her, and being of the same general
tenor. became the original motion before
the committee, whereupon A. b. Dibble,
OF Nevada, offered as a substitute the
following
WHEREAS. Hugh j. Glenn, in letter to the
San Francisco Chronicle, asserted his inten-
ton TO support the nominees upon the N. g. F.
| ticket, and by such action has refused to sap
| port the Democratic nominees associated with
! him upon the DemOcrAtic ticket, and in such
respect has refused to endorse the action Of the
late Democratic state Convention therefore
Roco hof k,y b. hnc h
drawn his name from the Democratic ticket
/ as the candidate OF the Democratic party for
1 Governor of the Sta to Of California.
Resolved, That this committee now nomi-
nate candidate for that position.
This Immediately made the test before
| the committee. when it WAS discovered
! that local Democratic tickets IN various
counties in, the State were interested in
the retention of Glenn, in this way: In
some counties full county tickets have
been nominated by Republicans, Demo
Gratis. Workingmen and Honora bic Blks.
The retention OF Glenn on the Democrat
| &c ticket forms an alliance between the
/ Democratic and Honorable Blk parties,
thereby weakening the straight Honora
BILE Blk county tickets. In counties so
situated strenuous eifnrts were made for
the retention of Dr.. Glenn. There was
who did not believe that the committee
possessed the power of removal. Some
Of these stated to the committee that
while believing that the committee did
not possess the power TO reverse the ac-
ton of the State Democratic Convention,
they at the same time reserved to them
selves the right 10 control their action as
citizens, but believed it to be the official
duty to vote for Dr.. Glenn's retention.
1t is now an ascertained fact that Geo.
G. Gorham was the author of Glenn's
letter to the people, published in the
Chronicle one day last week. Mr.. Cor
hams statement that they were noble
words is received with derison here. -
VIII s. Green was the autlor Of the uti
matum written and signed by DR.. Glenn
when he left the Democratic Committee
to visit the headquarters Of the Honora-
bic Bills. s. far as | am able to Rseer-
tain. Mr.. Glenn has written nothing and
said nothing up 10 this time in the cam
pagn. Mr.. Green coached him into the
Convention ard formulated the dispatches
signed bv Glenn. both to tho Honorable
|. I.Biksaand the Democratic Conventions
| The Democratic ticket below Glenn will
stand in and make straight fight. for
itsel! accepting DR.. Glenn as the hea9 of
the ticket, and including him in their eff
forts to secure an election. This act Of
self abnegation is the subject of much
humorous comment. the Democratic
ticket below Glenn actually striving to
secure the Colusa land grabber's election,
while h., on his part, is engaged in trying
to secure their defeat
