Gituat1on anu RQmlraDlo In cuathc-
ter will be nominated. II is hardly
nece ssary to say-we have said 1t
60 often heretofore-that We be-
lIeve the Democracy will elect Its
entire State ticket this year, al
ways on the superstition that no
unworthy man shall be allowed to
get upon 1t. This paper has at
tempted to dictate no candidate for
any office, believing that such news
paper performances are always Of
fsnsive aud in nine cases out Of ten
defeat the object sought to be &C.
complished. The "driving" sys.
tenn In politics seldom eventuates
pleasantly.
The Fresno Erp0sitor has lately
appeared "a q daily; and, in its
first daily issue, we find an edito-
rial so thoroughly smacking OF
Democratic traditions that we re.
produce it:
A correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Examiner, writing from
Fresno, says that il the DemOcra-
CIV nominate w. B. G. Brown for
Governor this year he will be de-
feated. The writer Is in error. The
Democracy of this State will glad.
" support Mr.. Brown should ne
be selected as the standard bearer OF
the party; IS they will, in fact, any
good and true man that is put fer
ward. Personally Democrats have
their favorites for the position, but
il they are Democrats in fact, they
will not shrink or falter, because
the honor Of the Gubernatorial
nomination was not conferred
upon their individual choice. No
man can say aught against Mr..
Brown, nor can any objection
worthy of consideration be made
against StonemAn, Berry, Hearst,
or against any of the prominent
and worthy gentlemen that have
been mentioned in connection
with the nomination. The people
Of California we'll understand the
necessity of having good and sta.
BILE government, and they will
rally to the support of the Demo-
cratic ticket, whether 1t be headed
by Brown, or any other man OF
equal character. All efforts to
'bull' the party in the interest of,
or against any Of the prominent
Democrats, by letters predicting
disaster and defeat, must fall fiat.
The Democracy is united in favor
of the principles of the party, and
will unitedly rally to the support
of the nominees OF its convention.
The foregoing has the ring Of the
true Democratic metal. We re-
greet to say that there are some
journalistic advocates of General
St0neman's claims who are doing
that gentleman but sorry service
in asseveratiDg, day after day,
that he is the only Democrat that
can be elected Governor of Califor-
mia. We do not believe word OF
this; and, while Gen. Stoneman,
should he prove to be the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor, will
receive the cordial support of the
HERALD, this Journal will none
the less heartily support any Dem.
ocrat OF unblemished reputation
who shall receive the nomination
Of the San Jose Convention.
Our own impression has been
that Gen. SLOVENIAN has rendered
such conspicuous service as q
Railway Commissioner that he
should be continued in that i'm.
portant Office. There can be no
question Of the fact that, oil
the other Railway Commission
ers to be elected in this State,
ut least one will be found to Coop
crate with the General in tenn.

people. There will probably be
no Reform Party to give US a Beer.
stecher! 1t Is pitiful but true that
such creatures only spring from
pseudo reform movements. Great
cause as the people have had to
disapprove of Cones action in
many respects, that gentleman was
elected as the avowed friend OF the
Railway. He announced his par.
TALLY from the stump and re.
ceived not q single vote under O
Misrepresentation.
While there are several citizens
Of Los Angeles who might be nom
mated for Governor with striking
propriety, amongst whom are Gen
SLOVENIAN, it Is not right that tn,
impression should 60 abroad tina

hereabouts, Ringing upon that gen
