POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA,

From the Washington correspondence of the Balti.
more Sun. July %.
The latest mails received here from California con
firm the story that George c. Gorhsm is supporting
the democratic nominee for Governor in that state
Mr. Gorham it will be remembered, was the Secre-
tary of the Senate for ten years under republican
rule. and the secretary of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee during the Hayes
and also in tho of last fall. He has
always been classcd az stalwart leader in his party
and his present his republican friends
here. In explanation Mr. Gorham says that his sup
port of the democratic gubernatoral nominee in no
way impairs his standing in the republican party In
national affairs lie says he will support the repub
lcan nominee for Congress in his district and that
he is for either Conkling Grant for President He
believes that tho republican party OF California is
the friend of monopoly and tho creature of the rail
road magnates who are expressing the people of the
State. As between tho railroads and the people he is
for the people, and the democratic nominee is tho
foe of the railroad monopolists he will support him.
Ex-Governor and cx-United States Senator Colo an
other republican leader in California. has taken the
same course as Gorham. This is a gr. at
dAWper To the republican campaign committee here
and they fear result total defeat of their party
in California in the September elections.

"Why was Nichols selected? ?"

"Because he is an active, energetic adherent OF
the party and though he performed his official
duties as he understood them he was known
as an active democrat and not in accord
with Tilden and Robinson No matter what
is said. that the only reason. Robin
son sought revenge political opponent as
he did when in removing Gumbleton he revenged
himself the Secretary of the State Central Com
mittee The charges against Sheriff Reilly kept
alive that the excitement will live until the
meeting OF the State Convention. 1t is
rather hard on the Sheriff, who has three
warrants lying unsigned in the Mayors
Office. for ether reason than the Mayors belief
that the charges in his bills not in accordance
with the law. The fact that the Board of Super
vsors and the Auditor have the power. and the
courts have decided, and the Mayor must sign the
warrants
''But how about Robinson. Suppose he sue
ceeds?"
'If Robinson is nominated by the Convention it
will be unfit to present to the State. II
would lose New York in the coming
election and give the republicans immense
political power. We to elect a Cover
nor, Lieutenant Governor. Secretary of State,
Comptroller. Treasurer. Engineer and Attorney
General. Our defeat means a republican victory
in 1880 We would give them all the State patronage
the Governor would have the appointment of the
Superintendent of Insurance-an immense power
of the Prisons and Canals. and solidify the republ
cans for five or six years.
''How, then, you afford to oppose Robin
son?'
+ II oppose him unhesitatingy and say so deber-
ately. We would rather be politically killed by our
enemies than be politically and treacherously
sinated in the house of friends"
'Then this is giving them warning in timer
eyes. to open their eyes to the consequences.
Robinson ia the only Objectionable candidate. We
make threats. We have no candidate.
We will support Robinson. AS said
before democrats and expect to
support the candidate to be named, but as we con-
slider it Robinson is not with the party. He is SO
governed by his hates and dislikes that he would
destroy the party itself in destroying his enemies
IF it is clear to your mind that the delegates in
favor of Robinson have control in the Convention.
would You enter it, remain and participate in its
deliberations until Robinson nominated?'
"No If it apparent that by any trick or do
vice or means which might be stigmatized by severer
terms. he had secured majority Of the Convention
we would not enter tho Convention at ALL"
'What would you do?"
'Come home"
"And support the republicans?'
Certainly not"
''Not vote for Governor at ALP
'Under no circumstances"
''What are the probabl:ties?"
''That we will have the Convention"
"Now. let there be no misunderstanding please
Robinson is the one, the only Objectionable cand-
date?'

The Butler Telegraph Amendment Agreed
t0-C0nditiOns of the Four Per Cent
Loan.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Butler amend
ment to the army bill has been agreed to in
conference and it Is thought the bill will be
passed.
The Secretary Of the Treasury says he has
received number of letters and kilograms
which indicated excitement and some fear
among the subscribers to the per cent
bonds; that the House bill shortening the
period of the call would require the payment
Of subscriptions in thirty days instead OF
ninety days. He says that the bill on its
face applied only to future calls, and did
not affect in the slightest degree either the
outstanding calls on subscription made pre-
vious to the approval of the bill.
The bill, in its terms, excepts all existing
contracts, and il 1t should pass, as proposed.
It would not apply to any subscriptions made
under the outstanding consular contracts.
The Secretary has recommended that it will
be amended In the Senate SO as to expressly
except from it's operations the balance of the
$40 bonds, about S92000000, and that 1t apply
only to the refundiDg of the 10-40s and sub
SeQuent bonds.

Growth Of the Feeling In Favor OF Fre'
Tariff Conn nation Of the Death o
shere An-FayOrable Progress OF Al
fairs in Afghanistan-A Tart KepI!
AnlicinateA from spatn.

LONDON, March 1.-The growth OF the feel
ing In favor Of return to very stringent pro-
tective principles in France and Germany, Is
regarded with increasing anxiety and fear In
English Industrial and commercial circles. A
strong effort is being made In certain quarters
to lead public opinion toward favoring SINH
lar policy in England. 1t is argued that un-
less measures looking In this direction are
taken. England will become debtor nation
to nearly all the world instead of being a
general creditor.
The official advices from India leave no
doubt that not only that the report OF the
death of Shere Ali is true, but that his son,
Yakoob Khan, is anxious to end the war by
making terms OF peace, with which the Indian
government will be wholly satisfied.
Information respecting the condition OF the
English troops In Afghanistan is more en-
couraging. There is not so much sickness as
formerly, and the men are said TO De gen.
orally cheerful aud In good condition.
The representations which the English gov
eminent has lately made to King Alfonso re-
specting the abolition Of slavery In Gu a, are
understood to have been received with some
contempt at Madrid, and a somewhat tart
reply had been prepared, the substance OF
which was that Spain WAS perfectly able 10
take care OF her own affairs, and she dld not
wish to be advised respecting her duties by q
power which at this moment was warning
against people who had offended only by
wishing to maintain their freedom and lnde-
pendence.
