WE are not of the number of
those who think that the Democ.
racy of California have committed
the Seven Deadly Sins. 1t has
doubtless made mistakes and has
not at all times been toned up to
the proper pitch Of reformatory en-
thusiasm. But we have a belief
that fire could not burn out Of us
that, if the government of the State
were entrusted either to the Hon.
orable Bilks or to the Working
men, more hlunders and lamenta-
BILE delinquencies would be record
ed in four years than the Demo.
Gratis could or would be guilty of in
forty. 1t is all very we'll for un-
tried organi Eations to blather about
their public virtue. When under
the fierce fires of the furnace Of op-
portunity they would be found to
be Of very different material from
Shadrach, Abendego and the other
fellow. They would calcine to the
veriest dross. The Democratic
party Of California ia to-day ami
mated by thorough spirit of re.
form. 1t believes in regulating cor
porations and in asserting and en-
phasizing the rights of the people
under the new Constitution. 1t de-
clines, also, to listen to lectures de.
livered with an air of superior
morality. The Democratic party,
here as elsewhere, is honest to the
core, and it will find the right
standard bearers to represent the
aspirations Of the masses.

DECLARATIONS are the order of
the day. We are treated to the
statement that DIR. Glenn has posi-
lively declined the H. BIS nominal
ton for Governor. Mr.. Vests de-
clination Of the Lieutenant Cover
norship left this city by telegraph
yesterday. The fact is that it re-
quires a rare degree of hardihood
to identify one's self with such a
skeleton organization. If ever
there was a ghostly and shadowy
political procession it will be that
of the II. BIS next September. The
gentle winds of heaven should
blow upon it like south sea zephyrs
or there will be absolutely nothing
of 1t left by election day.

1T looks very much as If there will
not be "fruit" enough to go round
amongst the political pharisees
who are too pure to be Democrats
or Republicans, and that dissen-
sion is likely to follow, in conse-
quepce. Fusions are very frail and
unsubstantial things, and "fused"
body very often discovers itself to
be weaker than either of its con-
stituents would have been on q
manly and outright programme.
We are not annoyed by the fact
that the Democratic party of Los
Angeles will benefit largely by this
circumstance.

THE biggest and shalIowest D,

THE biggest and shallowest polit-
ical humbug ever engineered n the
United States is that presided over
by the San Francisco Chronicle.
We see by the vote recorded in the
nomination for Governor that the
largest vote polled in the new Con-
stitution Convention was 24S- a
slim attendance If all the delegates
were present. But then, to offset
this slender exhibit, we all know
that very few of the del
egates selected put in an
appearances. For instance, Los
Angeles nominslly sent fifteen
delegates. In reality only two put
In an appearance at Sacramento.
On the same ratio the 243 delegates
probably consisted of forty or fifty
gentlemen In propriG persong
from the country districts. The De
Youngs are evidently engaged 10 a
CHASTITY mockery from which they
will emerge much curtailed in in
fuence. 1t is great mistake to
attempt to palm off upon the peo-
pie Of California frst-elass farce
for genuine, sober business. The

THE Chronicle Of the 25th pub
lished o statement to the effect
that Governor Irwin and other
prominent Democrats had held

submitted q proposition that IL the

nate certain candidates for State
offices they would guarantee their

tirety. After full discussion of
the matter, in which nearly every
member Of the committee concur
red, it was concluded that the New
Constitution party could not afford
to entertain any such proposition.
They therefore declined the propo-
sition."
The gentlemen mentioned made
no proposition whatever to any
committee or individual of the
New Constitution party; neither
did they constitute themselves a
committee for such purpose. Dur
ing the day I saw Mr.. De Young Of
the Chronicle, and said that there
had been good deal of talk about
some arrangement by which the
whole or a portion of a ticket could
be nominated by both parties; and

done in that way, and gave my
ideas about the same. also told
him that I would see some other
gentlemen and see If some under.
standing could not be reached. He
stated that his committee was to
meet that afternoon, and he would
bring the subject up and try to
bring about conference. then
consulted the gentlemen above
named with others, and We all

sired to do 80 we would convey 1t

JUDGE SEPULvEDA was compli-
mented by a tender of the New
Constitution party's nomination
for Supreme Judge, but he respect
fully declined the equivocal honor.
There does not seem to be any I'M
due eagerness for these judicial
prizes, Judge Sepulveda preferring
the home honors of the Superior
bench of Los Angeles county to
being an aspirant for the more pre-
tentious position. Thoroughly
wise have been those who have de-
clined both the Workingmen's and

DAY ty day the New Constitn-
ton party is growing--in the office
Of the San Francisco Chronicle.
That Office is as plentifully provid-
ed with staunch New Constitution
voters as Falstaff's Imagination
was with men in Buckram green.
But, for the most part, they exist
only In the "mind's eye." They
are the most ideal of voters and
they are so little of the earth earthly
In their composition that they will
never materialize in this mundane
sphere.

Politics in California nowadays
is reduced to very much of mas
querade. Nearly every one is dis.
guised in domino and seeking to
show how much he can be unlike
his usual self. The only thing to
be regretted is that this political
masquerade has neither the
sprightliness nor variety Of the So
cial extravaganza. The whole
thing is vulgarized by an insane
quest after Office.

Irwin, observation-disclosures john
