cORHAM AND THE ADMINISTRATION.

the Rransinsr prints the following:
Well, in their sense of the word, somebody
We know of hereAbouts will have to eat crow
before long. George C. Gorham is long way
to the front this time. and We of California
know what that means. Gorhan is net only
himself personally ahead, but his influential
friends are on top, and that being so, We can
we'll imagine where his enemies are, or, at any
rate, where they will be as soon as he has time
to attend to them. Gorham had the mana ge-
1nent of Indiana, and he managed to win it
Gorham was Garfelds principal guest when
the great news of their victory wss pouring in
upon them. Gorha n 3 friends, Con king and
Grant, are bigger men to-day than Garfield.
So that Gorham has the pull of bis enemies in
all ways.
When Gorham proposed to come out and
stump California for Garfield, his enemies
wrote letters to the National Committee beg
ging them to keep Gorham away as his pres
once was certain to lose the State. They kept
him away and the result was that the State
went for Hancock with the exception of one
.elector. It may be some consolation to Cor
hams maligners to know that he manipulated
the nomination of Terry through men who
never dreamed that his hand pulled the wires.
Gorham is not unpopular with the people Of
California, but with the ring of politicians who
are at the beck and bidding of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company. The railroad COM
panies and corporations of California can not
get their collars about his neck. He is man
Of brains; wonderful political tactitian. and
will have great influence with the incoming
ID n se 10 hat bo
tional Committee took California advice and
put Gorham in Indiana to mako that fight.
The result needs no comment here
PoLrrIcAL BLuNDERs.-The last campaign
appears to have been productive Of COED
many blunders. Some excitement pervades
political circles in Memphis over the discovery
that McKenna, one Of the ten Republicans
elected to the Legislature, is ineligible, having
been convicted in the past for marrying his
wife's granddaughter. McKenna was pardon
ed by Governor John .. Brown four years
ago, but has never applied to DO restored to
citizenship. He is therefore disqualified from
helding Office. The certificate of Office has
been given to w. r. Winston, Democrat, who

may possibly determine the selection Of o
United States Senator, a. tho complexion of
the Legislature is very close. McKenna must
have known that no was ineligible, yet allowed
his name to 20 on the ticket. The forcing Of
David Terry On the electoral ticket of Califor
MIA proved blunder to the Democrats. When
candidates are up for Office committee ct
old citizens should canvass their back rec'-ds
and ascertain if any candidate may be als- |
qualified by crime or otherwise from holding |
Office. This course would result in making |
stronger tickets than are generally put up.
THAT editorial entitled ''No Mincing Mat |
ters, whose appearance in the New York |
Sun struck terrier into the hearts Of tha Dem |
Ocrats, is said to have been written by Chas. |
A. Dana at the country houss Of S. j. 'liden |
after dinner, and to have been forwarded by |
o special messenger to the Sun for publica- |
ton in next mornings paper. &
TIE mon who testified at tho trial in New |
York regarding the genuineness of the
Morey letter, now admit that they lied, and |
wsro the tools of the Democratic Central
Committee.
