The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-07-18

fornia, who was an ardent supporter OF
the New Constitution, was nominated
for Governor by the New Constitution
party at the State Convention at Sacra-
mento, and he accepted the nomi-
nation. Shortly afterward, the Demo-
cratic State Convention nominated
Glenn for Governor, with the full
knowledge that he was the nominee of
another party for the same office. An
effort was also made in, the Convention
TO nominate all or nearly all of the New
Constitution party candidates, and thus
combine the strength of the two parties
against the Republicans and Kearney
ties. This proposition was voted down
by small majority, through the in
huence, it is thought, of corporations.
Since then, the same influence has been
at work endeavoring to get the Central
parties which. nominated Glenn to take
his name off the ticket. With Glenn
supported by both parties, his chances
of election are good, but should the
Democrats or New Constitution party
refuse to. endorse him, it is thought
Perkins, the Republican or, rather,
corporation candidate will be elected.
Glenn has now declared. his allegiance
to the New Constitution party, and
promised to support that ticket. This
is made pretext by the machine Dem,
ocrats, who are supposed to be in
huenced by the corporations, to strike
his name OF the ticket and substitute
therefor some willing tool of the corpo-
rations, who will probably be paid. for
the use of his name during the cam
paign. To- morrow the Democratic
State Central Committee will meet in.
San Francisco to take final action on
this question, and it is probable ma
jority of the Committee will favor the
removal. of Glenn, and. thus Indirectly
assist in electing Perkins.
The change in the tactics of the DEM
acratic State Central Committee of Cal
ifornia is somewhat remarkable. A
week or two ago the members were
represented as being enthusiastically in
favor of Glenn, and of coalescing with
the New Constitution party. 1t was
announced that the Committee intended
to levy heavy assessments on candi-
dates forsthe purpose of getting them
TO decline that New Constitution nomi-
nees might be put in their places on
the ticket. By this means it was ex-
pected to make the two tickets sub
stantially the same, and ensure their,
election. Now change has taken.
place i'll their minds, and they suddenly
become SO devoted to Democratic ideas
and principles that they cannot brook
the thought of supporting Glenn unless
he declines the nomination of the New
Constitution, party, and relinquishes all
hopes of being elected. The Conven,
tion, of which the Democratic Central
Committee is the creature, knew when
it nominated Glenn that he had &C
cepted the nomination from another
party for the same office. 1t also knew
him to be a Democrat, and that the
New Constitution party, which made
no nominations for congressman, did
not ask or expect him. to renounce his
allegiance to that party, but that he
simply endorse the State ticket, which
was nominated for the specific purpose
of carrying out the principles of the
New Constitution. California Demo
Gratis are aware of the fact that the cor
porations are arrayed in solid phalanx
against Glenn, and that removing him
from the head of the Democtatic ticket
will undoubtedly lessen his chances of
election. Nevertheless, it appears that
those who run the machinery of that
party are determined to haul down his
name. in the face of the fact that by
doing so they almost insure Perkins
election by plurality. This iswhat
many Democrats, who are suspected of
being susceptible to corporation, and
ring influences, call "principle.
