THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN CON
NENTION

We take pleasure in reproducing the follow
ing editorial of the Eureka Leader of June 20.
1t squares with our notions precisely, and if
we indulge in the modest surmise
that the graceful and forcible quill
of Brother Sabin is discernable therein,
sure no harm will be thought of US.
Republicanism in Nevada is to day in full ac-
cord with that of California, and will march
with it hand in hand to that rightful ascen-
dency in political affairs to which it is en-
titled
Null0 restigia retrOrSum.
But, to our text from the Lelde,':
The Republicans have steered clear of the
pitfalls and quicksands that lay in their path :;
have avoided the dangers that sprung from
almost assured success that awaited them in
the campaign have lOOsened the hold of the
party hacks, who have heretofore controlled
the organization, and have put ticket i'll the
field which will meet the appreciation and re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of the intelligent
and independent members'of the party. George
c. Perkins, the head of the ticket, is no OBJ
scure nonentity, who has been thrust forward
to carry the standard, by reason of his not
ties. On the contrary, he has taken an active
part III previous contests, has been Appointment
participatOr in State politics, has positive
opinions, and has dared MAINTAIN them on all
occasions He was one of the Senators who
sustained Governor Haights celebrated veto
of the subsidy bills, and during years of ser
vice III the Legislature MS record as an anti
mOnopoist was without flaw Moreover, he
is young, ardent and enthusiastic, and his
honorable ambition is coupled with desire to
achieve a victory for the people. His splendid
speech before the convention is the key note
to his character, and the eloquent sentences
betray the heart-feeling of the man.
The full text of the platform has not yet
reached us, but, Judging from the brief
synopsis, it is ringing declaration of prin-
cples, pat forth without lodging or hesita
ton, and it is fitting enunciation of the
party creed, both on national and local mat
tiers.
The campaign will be fought manfully on
square Republican basis. There will be no
trucking to the socialistic ideas, of which
Hearney is an exponent, norany combinations
to steal from the people the results of their
late victory The new Constitution is ac-
cePted, and if the Republicans are triumphant
the reforms will, we believe, be carried out
in good faith The resolution demanding a
reduction of % per cent on railroad freights
and fares, will meet with appreciation from ali
who have suffered from the exactons Of the
monopolists, and will be heartily endorsed by
the small farmers of the wheat-growing dis
tricts
1t is evident that the delegates have risen
superior to the claims and demands of the ma
chine politicians, and in obedience to the ex-
igencies of the hour have put forward ticket
that will receive an enthusiastic support. The
canvass will be the most exciting and hotly
that has ever taken place in the
Golden State; but with the Republican party
free from all disseusions, and thoroughly
united, we believe that they will score grand
victory, and triumph over the bastard organi-
cations that dispute the field.
