SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Enthusiastic politicians.

| print the following tomorrow: The
Californians are proverbially enthusiastic
politicians, and if the people they leave
behind them are anything like the dele
gates who came to the National Conven-
ton from California, the election must
be a holly contested affair. Few people
will forget the whoop with which the
delegation from that State came to the
Republican Convention. The advance
guard of the Democratic delegates which
arrived at the Palmer House last night
was just as enthusiastic on the other
side. Hon. Thomas J.. Clunie, delegate
at large, and State Senator Engfish
formed the contingent, and they are on
their way to New York. Mr.. Clunie
said to a reporter for the Times: Our
State is solid for Tilden. We were in
structed for him, and are by no means
willing to accept his letter as a fnality.
He wrote just such a letter four
years ago, and yet no one doubts
that il the Cincinnati Convention had
given hin the unanimous nomination that
he would lave accepted it. Mr.. Tilden
says that he is averse to attempting the
labor and struggle consequent upon a
proper administratio of the office of Presi-
dent, and so he is, but he does not say that
he would refuse the nomination if rendered
him. He annot be a candidate for the
nomination, and no one would expect it of
him. He was once elected President of
the United States, and a man in that posi-
ton cannot go fishing for another nomina-
ton. Give it to him, however, and he is
too good a patriot not to accept it. He
would not only do that, but he would be
elected, and once elected he would make
the best President we ever had. / don't
blame him to being averse for undertaking
the task of the first Democratic President
after "a years of Republican rascality and
thievery. He has got no light job on his
hands. But Tilden could and would do it.
Why, continued Clunie. / know what l am
talking about. l saw Tilden in New York
about three months ago. He told me then
that a Democratic President has got a
great task on his hands, and to fill the
office as l would like to fill it would be no
sinecure. l would %insugurate the same
reforms in the General Government that |
did II the Government of the State of New
York, and l know by experience that
such a course means lots of hard
work and a stubborn fight. 1 do not feel
like undertaking the task. Then l asked
him: Mr.. Tilden, would you refuse the
nomination were it rendered you unani-
mously ? and he made no answer. 1 tell
you, let us give him the nomination by
acclsmstion and he will accept.
Ii Mr.. Tilden is out of the race who
would California vote for?
Thurman, Thurman and Stoneman,
Thurman and Slocum, or Thurman and
any good Democrat would be good enough
for US.
Gould Thurman carry California against
Blaine?
Thurman could Garry the State. So
could Cleveland, Mcdonald, or any other
Democrat except Field. He would be
weak on account of his monopoly leanings,
but any other Democrat could get from
5000 10 IL, 900 majority in our State.
California is solid for Tilden, said Mr..
English, and we think he will accept it.
We want the old ticket in its entirety; fail
ing that, we are for Thurman.
What is the cause OF T%hurman's
strength?
He is the author of the bill which bears
his NAME, the bill which curtailed some of
the privileges of the Pacific roads, and you
know we are all anti-monopolists in Cali
tornia. That is the main political cues
ton In our State, and we recognize Sena-
tor Thurman as being on our side of the
question. Judge Field is a man who has
many warm personal friends in California.
and Is a citizen Of the State, but it ia con-
sidered there that his decisions have been
IN the interest of monopolies, and in con-
sequence the convention instructed against
him. 1t was no hoodlum convention.
either, but a representative body of men.
10 Blaine strong in California
NO; ne Is stronger than either Edmunds
or arthur would have been, because he
voted Tor the Chinese bill, while Edmunds
voted against it and Arthur vetoed it. On
tne other hand, the Democratic Senators
all voted for 1t, and any Democrat would,
u consequence, be as strong on that issue
As Diane especially as it was almost the
entire party who voted for and carried II
through by the Democrats. WHY. the Cali.
fornia delegates to the Republican National
Convention play cd it on the convention
most thoroughly when they said Blaine
could carry the Coast States. Heis handi-
capped by Logan. who voted against the
oninese bill, and who. as the presiding
ofhcer OF the Senate, will, il elected. have
tne casting vote; and, in addition to
tnat. blaine's record is too bad for
Caii!ornians to swallow. He has certainly
acquired wealth by selling his vote while
speaker OF the House, and has been iden-
tined with too many railroad monopolies
TO suit our people. He can never carry
the State, and all of the decent Republi.
cans there are already giving his candidacy
q cold shoulder.
when does your delegation arrive?
Next Thursday morning. They do not
come by special train, as the Republieans
ala, because we pay our own fare and have
no railroad company interested enough To
give us special and free passes, as thew
did the Blaine shouters. But most of The
Coast delegates will arrive then and in !
body. Oregon and Nevada will come Al
