ANOTHER CITY HERD FROM.

The Republicans made a clean sweep Al
the election held in Stockton on Monday.
Il was surprise with an emphasis to the
Democracy. The head of the Republican
ticket vas pronounced and openly opposed
TO the schemes Of the extra session, and in
a manly way spoke his mind. His oppo-
nent was Just as emphatically the friend Of
the movement that brought about the
present legislative fasco. The result was
the defeat of the latter and the ticket be-
mind him. 4 more singing rebuke was
never administered to unreasoning hate
and ultra partisanship than was this to
two bowling maniacal journals OF that
city. These papers have spared no Ian
guage, and stood at no charge, in assault
ing all men who have the courage Of their
convictions and happen 10 disagree with
these journalistic browbeaters. Il was 10
lie expected that such q defeat Of such
agencies for evil would nc; he taken kindly.
1t is not surprising, therefore, TO find the
Herald and Nal charging fraud and cor
ruption and all manner Of sin upon the Re
publicans. The railroads Of the State could
not Of course escape, To these must be laid
some share Of guilt, according 10 the ethics
of such mob violence advocates as the Afal
and the triAe more dignifed and less yiru-
lent Herald. 1t Is accordingly done with
the peculiar vigor characteristic Of the
thoroughbred railroad hater. The MGN,
however, IS miider than usual in is
charges under the shadow Of defeat and
really compares favogably with the suck
ing dove, in the light Of some less recent
diatribes, in which it howled Tor hemp to
hang people who do not heed lis mandates.
The truth is, that the people are heartily
sick and tired OF the farce being played by
a mere faction Of the Democratic party,
and seek every opportunity to manifest
their diepleastre The Stockton revolU-
ton was one of these. An election in the
very hot-bed of the radicals goes anthem
ocratic. contrary to every calculation Of the
demagogues who have engineered the extra
session fight They demanded indorse-
ment OF the Democratic process they
sneered at the advice of the more thought
ful and self-respecting Of the party, and as
result suck the thumbs Of defeat. The
Republicans occupied conservative posi-
ton, committed neither 10 the frenzy OF
radical hatred on the one SIDE, nor
to the policy Of railroad corporations
on the other hand The people know tina;
they can trust it. Their decision al
Stockton, the first made al the ballot-box
in the State since the Legislature assem-
bled, is the natural result Of the exercise
of good Judgment on the part Of the PEG
pie. They do not indorse the outrageous
course Of the demagogic leaders, who are
marching a wing Of party into { politi-
cal grave in the vain hope 10 advance the
ends Of wealthy but ignorant ambition
They realize that the Republican party ie,
Of all others, the organization that rises
equal to the handling Of ali great State
questions in manner becoming to a SOW
ereign people DESTROYS Of eyen-handed
justice 1t Is the party of all Others that
Is equal to every emergency, whether i be
the saving Of the nation from the assaults
Of rebels or adjustment between great indus
tries and the State. Ii is the one political
agency through which intelligence and |
the spirit of fair dealing and progressive
legislation can be made manifest.
