GORHAhTS SECESSION FROM THE
MACHINE"

Gorham's independent and correct stand on
the question Of railroad freights and fares
has earned him the deadly enmity of the
Republican party in California. Gorham
thinks that the curbing of the power of tine
Central Pacific Railroad monopoly and the
regulation of fares and frelghts are much
more important considerations than the sue
cess of any party machine. In these views
he will he warmly met by the intelligent men
of all parties in the railroad ridden State of
California. He has, of course, given mortal
offense to the hack politicians of the Repub-
lcan household, but to our own mind this
step is one of the most creditable incidents of
Gorham's career, and will do much to raise
him in the estimation of many who have
heretofore regarded him with everything but
favor or confidence. In the meantime. it may
be observed, every journal on the coast that
is owned subsidized by the railroad COM
pany is devoting itself to the abuse of Cor
ham. We have yet to see one that tries to
answer his arguments. - Virginia Chronicle.
