TIE :. HONORABLE BILKs."

z Such is the name ungrstsfully be-
slowed by the blathsrskits Kearnsy upon
the respectable portion Of the party
which strove so successfully under his
leadership for the ~concoction and adop-
ton OF the new California Constitution.
The trouble is TINT now they are inclined
to ignore his claims to be chief CONTROL
Ter OF future legislative action and Off.
cial patronage under II. In fact they
show q disposition to lead and direct AZ
fairs themselves and place him quietly in
the background. Nothing but q big club,
however, can knock Ksarney back into
q quiescsnt condition. His blatant tongue
will wag. and from his rostrum on the
sand lots he addresses hosts Of attentive
and enthusiastic admirers. Moreover
Ksarney does not neglect these respect
able old political aspirants who would
throw him overheard as OF no further
use to them. BY no means he does not.
He calls them all sorts Of ridiculous
anne and shows them and their whole
faction up after . very lively and sppro-
pirate style. He has conferred tho name
OF the Honorable Bilks" upon them, o
name which will stick to them for a
while, to say the least. Kearnsy's
style and views are very we'll embodied
in the following extract from the San
Francisco Ners Later:
Honorable Bilks!" that was . happy
hit OF Kearney's. There Is something
delightfully."- appropriate in the appella-
ton. The name Is the one that)will stick
TO the antique frauds upon whom Dennis
conferred il and to their party, II they
mansge 10 raise one. Who are they,
these Honorable Bilks." Volney How
ard, ex-Judge Terry and the rost OF them,
tina, they should attempt to monopolize
the triumph that was achieved by the w.
p. CT They are . lot Of old political
bummsrs and mummies who were
laid upon tho shelf years and
years ago n useless, corrupt and
played out. Since then no respectable
party would have anything to do with
thsm. and consequently for q quarter Of .
century or moro they were left to fret
and fume in their native OBJ
security. When the new Coastitu-
ton fight came on. these wind.broken
old fossils shifted q chance Of official plum
der. Though none Of the old parties
would recognize them. they thought they
might ride to . glorious resurrection ON
the brawny shoulders Of the w. p. q.
Accordingly they shook their dry bones
together and took TO the stump. They did
nothing to organize. they bore none OF the
labor Of preparing for the campaign ; but
when others had got everything ready 10
their hand they tottersd over the country
and mumbled q lot Of vapid stun which
was a. stale and useless a. their " car.
cases. Such are tho Honorable Bilks,'
and such their achievements, and these
are the m en- who now have the impotence
to order the workingmen to disband. fol-
low their lead. and place them in office.
