Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-07-02
ISN'T THIS A DAINTY DISH :

Speaking of the convention of Honorable
Biks, or political High Binders, the MORN
ING APPEAL said, the other day, that the
'Chvs" would run the convention in Sac
ramento, parceling out to themselves the best
nominations, and leaving to the Republican
belly achers just enough places on the ticket
TO keep the B. A. s from squealing. And, as
usual, the MORNING APPEAL proved itself
true prophet Terry, David S, of unsavory
memory, was ring-master, "hrst privileged
Jester" chief contortionist, besides acting as
"supe" in spreading the carpet for the poit
ical acrobats in the recent II. b. circus at
Sacramento. Look at the list of performers:
First comes De- Hugh Glenn, for Governor.
The Doctor is from Virginia, be gawd, sab,
and is, of course, a Democrat-Democracy
with him being the synonym for sympathy
with the Lost Cause. Glenn had almost
walk over for the nomination, his competitor,
one Webster of Alameda, boiling Republic
can and the Chr0nicleS man for the first place,
being presea ted to the convention simply as
political blind Glenn, although the nomi-
nal owner of about 10000 acres of land in
Colusa, and for years practical land monOp-
olst of the most Objectionable kind, is the fig
ure- head of a crowd Of political hypocrites
who howl about land monopoly Ru.nor gives
it that Glenn SprOperty is heavily mortgaged,
which perhaps makes him at this time anti
land monopolist. d. c. Reed, unknown to
fame, is from San Diego, and we have no
doubt was nominated for lieutenant Gov
ernor by the H. 3. 5 because OF his soundness
on the Chiv rule. lauren Z. Crane, once
Private Secretary to Governor Booth, and an
o5sequious follower of Newton the Pure when
the latter betrayed ms party for seat in the
United States Senate. is the III. B. candidate
for Secretary of State. Crane once claimed
to be Republican, but he almost disfgured
his nose In his efforts to smell out sO-called Re
publican corruption. Cyrus Jones, of Santa
Clara, for Treasurer, we know nothing about,
but if he ever took any part in California pol
tiles it must bave been either in very modest
a very unsuccessful way. Hugh NJ. Larue,
of Sacramento, is, after the manner of Joe
Bowers " all the way from Pike" He started
got Democratic when Know Nothlngism
passed out, and has been Of the Southern wing
of the Democratic party since his connection
with it. He once ran for Sheriff of Sacra
mento County on the Democratic ticket, and
was beaten by E. F. (Ned) White. Finding
the grass short in the Democratic pasture,
Larue jumped the fence, had a Irritation with
Dolly Warden, and she rewarded him by max
ing him Sheriff He was warmly supported
in convention by the Howard Terry combina-
ton. Out of the twenty-three named on the
H. B. State ticket there are not to exceed two
who have within the past three or four years
been recognized as Republicans, All of the
candidates for members of the State Board of
Equalization-Brad Crutcher, Kelly and
Heiskill-are Democrats, three of them being
Southern men, while the fourth Judge Brad
ford) has always trained with the chivalry
Among the candidates for Associate Justices
is Calhoun Benham, blooming sprig of chiv
airy in the pompous and powerful days OF the
OWNS, Higleys and Aylettes. Benham,
about the time of the breaking out
loyal utterances, and got out of bad |
sccape through the assistance of his brother
in law, the late George D. Prentice, of the
Louisville Journal. Benham was second of
Terry when the latter killed Broderick, and
how natural that Benham should be noni-
mated for judicial position by one he had
successfully groomed III duel. Looking over
the list of nominees of the Fl. B. party, and
closely scanning the Democratic names there
on, we fail 20 find the name of single friend
of David G. Broderick. And it was just to
this great mans memory that his friends
should not disgrace his name by being found
in the company of those who had bounded
him to his grave. Can there be found in Cal
lfornia one friend of Broderick base enough
to support the ticket recently nominated by
his prosecutors The ballot box will give an
emphatic NO to the question.
