A tITE.
California; Democratic Surrender

The Greenbackers of California have
nominated a man for Governor wht
owns farm containing 10000 acres o.
land and the Democrats holding theiI
convention later have nominated the
same man for Governor. This shows
tia insincerity of each of these par
ties and the terrible straits to which
each are driven. The idea of the par
ty led by Kearney, that lated bloated
land owners, was opposed to monopo-
lies and hated the Chinese, nominating
q man owning that number Of acres is
simply ridiculous, and the idea of the
unblsached and un,erriisd Democracy
OF that State, at one time the only
party of any consequence in the State,
is If possible still more ridiculous.
Anything for the sake Of getting into
Office Seems now 70 be the principles of
the Democracy from Wilmington to
San Francisco. This principle was
fully illustrated the other day by Cali
fornia Democrats when they placed the
Kearney Greenback candidate at the
head OF their ticket, when Democrats
urged upon the floor of the convention
that it was cruel to put up men for
Office only to bs defeated, and SO to
give them some show of an election
they propped them up against the
sand lot candidate owning 10000 acres
of land as the foundation of their prin-
ciples. Abandoning everything but
the greed for Office the Democracy ask
what is the use of sticking to party
without some show of success, or why
ask fellow Democrats to stand for office
when it is certain they cannot be cleo
ted These are the only questions the
Democrats ask themselves as they find
their numbers failing and their
strength Diminishing. They no more
have any high sounding declarations
on the tariff, finance revenue, internal
improvements, and other subjects
which formerly made up their declara-
tions of principles. These have all
been abandoned, aud in place of them
they have adopted few senseless reso-
lutions in favor of driving the Chinese
out of the country, giving every man
in the country all the money he nts,
no matter if it does bankrupt and ruin
the government, and favoring fraud
and violence at the elections by trying
to paralyze the government in its ef-
forts to protect every man in his right
to cast one honest ballot on election
day. The once proud and defiant De-
mocracy of CdliErnia all the time vic
torious, have no stomach for fighting
for forIorn hope. They are ready to
unite with Greenbackers, or hard money
men, the most relentless rebels or the
most unpassioned Unionists. Anything
for the sake of getting the offices is the
only principle which binds together
the Democratic party of to day. The
grand old party about which we used
to hear 50 much, exists only in the
imaginations of such leaders as S. S.
Cox, D. w. Voorhees, and the rebel
brigadiers of the South. There is no
room in it any more for men of princi-
pie and therefore such men as Bayard
who are not prepared to make full
surrender of principle must take back
seat.

A Democratic Flash in the Pan.


A Democratic Flash In the Pan.
The meeting Of the City Council on
Saturday afternoon was an amusing
one to those who were disinterested
and yet understood the true inwardness
of the Vaccinations which had been
employed. Nobody seemed to know
the object of the meeting and yet ev'
erbody seemed to surmise that it had
something to do with the election of
street commissioner. What that some
thing was, was generally conceded tt
bs the acceptance Of the resignation o;
Col. Lynch should that gentlemsr
think it safe to offer it, and then tt
elect Col. Hughes to fill the vacancy in
the City Council. If this could have
been done, the way would then have
been clear for the election Of Col. Lynch
this evening at the meeting Of the City
Council by one majority without the
Col. having to go through the humi!ia-
ting process of voting for himself, in
violation of the law and ordinances. OF
course it was expected that some Re-
publican would have been caugh, nap
ping and away from the Saturday af-
ternosn's meeting, and then all the
Democrats being present they would
have been perfectly safe in carrying
out the programme agreed upon. When
the Council was called to order and the
roll called, sure enough one Republican
was absent, but alas for the excited
Democratic ringsters, Democratic
member, Mr.. Moore from the Fifth Ward
was also absent. This completely up
set the calculations of the Democrats
and already the steadfastness of Mr..
Moore to the Democracy in this their
trying hour became subject of suspi
cion.
Had he been in his seat at the proper
time the business of the meeting would
no doubt have speedily been made
manifest and railroaded through on the
lightning express. Councilman knight
full of fight and something else, with
his newly elected colleague in charge,
and Who he was initiating into the
mysteries of councilmanic business,
seemed big with the Importance Of
the occasion, and when the proposition
was made to adjourn, he Couldn't see
it no how" but was willing to take a
recess for half an hour, which would
allow the laggard member time to be
present. Mr.. Norton whose true devo,
tion to Democracy no sane man could
doubt, saw no use in remaining there
if there was no business to be brought
before council, and through his motion
and influence Council adjourned. Mr..
Norton had evidently not been booked
up, and it was somewhat aggravating
to Democratic patience to see Mr.. Moore
walking in to take his seat, just as the
other members were walking out of
theirs after adjourning. Nc. knight
swore like Hebe at Col. Norton, for
pressing his motion to adjourn, and
some of the strongest expletivss found
in Webster were used in denoun,ing
the tardiness of Mr.. Moore. The Re-
publcans and the two Democrats who
refused to obey the caucus ring lash
smiled nplacently as eleven Demo
Gratis with elongated countenanoes
passed out of the room. The Demo-
cratic ring gun had flashed in the pan
and provided all the Republicans will
be present this evening, there will be
no chance for Lycnh to resign, and he will
be under the necessity of voting for
himself in violation of law.

GREEcEs mouth has never got over
watering for tender slice of that Tur-
key that the Russian Bear licked his
chops over few months ago with such
gusto, and a few days ago she ordered
two or three divisions of her troops to
the frontier, probably in search after
some cranberries as sauce for her
coveted collation.. Turkey on the other
hand has stationed 10000 troops on the
Grecian borders with the possible idea of
making soap greese of the aforesaid
divisions Of the Grecian army. Turkey
is moreover reported as having lately
contracted for several million dollars
worth of improved rifles in Massachu-
seIs, possibly for target practice, since all
Europe is now at peace. Germany is
getting her brand-new tariff in working
order, and will devote the expected
revenue therefrom to increasing her
army, Notwithstanding its present enor-
nous proportions, while rumor has it
that Russia is looking out for neat but
not gaudy assortment of privateers in the
navy yards of the United States to be
used for picnic parties perhaps next sum-

self nor its management to make prom
ises. We know that perfection in jour
nalism has not yet been reached, and the
most that we can expect or promise is to
keep right up with the age and give the
patrons of the STAR all the advantages
that progressive period puts within our
reach. We have at our command every
thing necessary to enable us to make the
STAR the best afternoon paper in the
country We have far more compre-
hensive telegraphic dispatches from all
over the world, much larger local and
suburban force, and superior mechanical
facilities to any afternoon newspaper of
which we know, and comparing favorably
in all these particulars with the leading
morning journals of the country. There
is every reason, therefore, why the STAR
should prove just such an afternoon pa
per as city like Cincinnati, distinguished
for the enterprise and ability of its papers,
should have.
