PRESIDENTIAL PRosPEcTs. A STAFF
Correspondent of the New YORK Tribune
writing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
says; IF there is any decided d. ift OF
sentiment among the Pennsylvania Re-
pubicans, the rank and fie are for Grant
by a largo majority. Political leaders
think his strength is declining and will
continue 10 subside unless the South
should again defeat the will of the people.
Next to Grant Blaine is the strongest
man in Pennsylvania, and Sherman is
not far behind Blaine. Conkling has no
following. Wheeler would be available,
if Conkling's friends would support him.
Edmunds would make an excellent com
promise nom inee, in case OF Il prolonged
strife between the stronger candidates.

THE solidty Of Southern elections this
year will surpass all previous records.
The New York Tribune thinks this is
made apparent by the early activity OF
the bulldozers and by the arrogant tono
of the Southern newspapers. The issue
raised by the extra session just suits them
and tho security which they now feel
against legal prosecution for driving vot-
ers from the polls will prompt them to
more reckless buIldozing thnn ever. 1t
is safe, therefore, to predict enormous
Democratic mnj0rites in every Southern
State, without shadow IF Republican
success anywhere. That South Care lima
warning to Swails sounds the key note
for the campaign, and every man, black
or white, who sends up hostile shout
will indeed "have lively time and be
glad to retire"

EATING CRow.-It is amusing and to
some extent disgusting TO observe the will
lingness with which most of our Demo>
cratic exchanges mnsticate their "crow, "
as personifrd by DR.. Glenn the H. B.
nominee for Governor. Two weeks ago,
when they were urging upon their State
Central Committee the necessity Of fore
ing him from the ticket, Glenn wos
painted very black, now he is the only
good man named for Governor. Surely.
"circum stances alter cases. They now
insist upon all Democrats voting the
straight ticket, Glenn and all. while
Glenn himself Is pledged to vote for and
support the II. B. nominees from top to
bottom. Such is politics.

WHITE AHgAD.-Indications now are
that the Workingmen will receive larg-
er vote in the State than the Billts. Advices
recently received at the Republican
head quarters indicate that the contest in
the interior, Mt least in number Of coun-
ties, is narrowing down to fight between
Perkins and White. So far as reasons
are given for this change in affairs, they
mainly express dissatisfaction with
Glenn S attempt at the double bareback
act, and those who would have supported
him either as Democrat or Honorable

EDITORIAL JOTTINGS.

For STATE SEHAToR.-The Repub.
lican Joint Senatorial Convention for
this Distric. met at Shasta on Wednes-
day last and nominated A. B. Carlock.
OF Fort Jones, for State Senator. The
nomination was at once telegraphed to
Mr.. Carlock and promptly accepted by
him. In their choice of a candidate for
this important position the Convention
has done well and their nominee should
receive a hearty endorsement from the
people of this District. Mr. Carlock was
one of The pioneer citizens Of this county,
having kept u trading post at Arkansas
Dam as early as 1850, but has for many
years been resident of Scott Valley.
Siskivou county, where he is now en-.
gagged in the banking and merchandise
business. He is a man of more than or
diLary ability, well acquainted with the
requirements Of the people of this section
of the State, and whose honesty and in
tegrity all concede and admire. The
mere fact that he has proved successful
business man is in itself sufficient rec
ON mendation of his capability for the
position Of Senator As the question of
Constitution will necessarily figure in the
choice for Legislators we are enabled to
say that Mr.. CasDck was firm advocate
of the New Constitution from the begin>
ming, supporting it from conviction of
right and not firm motives of policy
His opponent, Mr.. Mathews. we have
been informed, opposed the New Con-
s;itution to within few days Of the eec
ton but finding his course very unpopu,
lur in Siskiyou Topped Mt the last mo-
ment and voted in favor Of that instru
ment. He was an eleventh hour convert
and we submit that his action in mat
ter Of so great moment is no recommen-
dation Of his ability as law-maker.-
That either or both were New Consttu-
ton men is no particular recommenda-
ton TO US, but we prefer the one who
voted for it conscenti9usly rather than
he who did so presumably for policy's
sake. The interests of the District will
be best served by the election of A. b..
Carlock and the Journal will do what it
can to aid kim.

GLENN DOES EMPLOY CHINESE. On

zen of Chico, whose word the Record
would not dispute, left the ranch of Dr..

formed us that at that time, there were
twenty Cinnamon at work there that he
knew of, fourteen in one harvest field.
and others as cooks on the various farms
under the management of the Glenn
ranch, and he had heard there were 9th
ers employed IN other fields. Blu. of the
twenty, he had actual knowledge. We
hardly expect this will be denied. But
