It's WE'LL
The people, if we are to believe the daily
clap-trap twaddle of such papers as the
Chronicle and Examiner have been and are
opposed TO Stanford and the Central Pacific
Railroad Company; and still the peoples
representatives in the Legislature rise as
one man. and the leading men of b0th
Democratic and Republican parties speak
as one man, from the Sierras to the sea and
from Del Norte to San Diego, and demand
that Leland Stanford be chosen United
States Senator to represent the Golden
State, the Pacific slope, during the six
years next following the 4th of next
March. IT'S well Who has done more
ter California? Who can, yea who will,
do more for California than Governor Stan
ford? lor p0put, cor del, may be very an
propriately quoted now, and the world will
note the great event as it has not noted any
| event since the fall of the Southern Con-
federacy-since Grant magnanimouslv and
heroically accepted General Lees sword
| at AppomattoX Courthouse.
Leland Stanford will he chosen United
| States Senator, and when he takes his seat
beside General John F. Miller California
will have two greater statesmen, tinanciers
and patriots than ever she had before in
the Congress of the United States They
will be peers of any man in the Senate.

THE NEW SENATOR
1t is not too much to say that no Senate
rial nomination was ever made in this
State which has given so much general
satisfaction that of Governor Stanford
The press of the State commend il without
any exception. Even the most radical of
the interior journals those which have
never had a good word 10 say of any one
connected with the Central Pacific Rail
road, are unanimous in their expressions of
qualification at the selection. of
his splendid qualifications for the high
position to which he has been chosen. his
career in this State is ample evidence He
was the best Governor California ever had
and. without any Disagreement to those
| who preceded him. We feel confident that
he VIII be the best Senator. His generosity
to this State, where his lifeS successes We're
made, have been unbOunded vet withal
they are only beginnings, for he contem-
plates the foundation of educational insti-
| tutions for BOYS and girls at Palo Alto. in
connection with a Memorial University at
the same place, which will require the ex-
| penditure of enormous sums. In addition
| to these Governor Stanford will establish
public museum in this city the nucleus
of which will consist of those articles col
lected by young Leland Stanford, whose
wishes the bereaved father will carry out.
Also, an institution similar to the New
| York Cooper Institute, which will contain
a school of design, polytechnic school, art
galleries. etc, which will be inferior to none
in the older cities of this continent. No
better testimony TO Governor Stanford |
! brOad-minded and beneficent liberalitv can |
| be needed, and no ampIer reason for be- |
lieving that California will have a Senator
in whose hands her interests will be pushed |
to the highest development.-[San Fran

GOOD ONE.
The selection OF Leland Stanford to serve |
this State in the United States Senate is |
good one; indeed, it is doubtful if an |
| equally fortunate choice could have been |
| made. Stanford is a man of the people de |
| spite his great wealth. He has grown with |
| the State, and his enterprise has helped To |
make it what il is. From first to last his
record has been clear. He is the most de
| servedly popular man on the Pacific coast,
| having gained friends every year OF his life |
| in Calitornia-Since the old pioneer davs
when he was red-shirted miner in FL Do
| RADIO county, to the present time, when he
| stands among the proudest in the common
wealth. His election viii 90 far toward
| healing the difference between the people
and the railroad company and help the
two a work luTnlOnV of brood and |
liberal views, his deep knowledge Of public
affairs, his ability and integrity fit him well
for a Senator, while his great wealth
precludes the least danger of his being a
tool in anyLody's hands. 1t is a happy
augury for the Golden State when the
highest Office III the gift OF the people seeks
out the man, instead of the man seeking
| the office. His election will be universally
popular, and we hope great things from his
term OF oftice.-LSanta Barbara Press.
SENATOR STANFORD.
The selection of Leland Stanford as
United States Senator from California is
one of the genuine political surprises of the
times, and is the most remarkable spectacle
of the office seeking the man that has ever
been known in the history of the State
Within the past month perfect cyclone of
public opinion formulated in his favor,
Democrats as well as Republicans, anti
monopoliSts as well as monopolists, Joined
in the expression that he, of all men,
should be elected, and the Legislature very
properly responded to the call, despite the
asseverations of the Governor that he was
not a candidate. California has but hon
ored herself in honoring Governor Stan
ford. In heart and mind he is her great
citizen, and his elevation to the Senate by
which his career will be rounded off so
splendidly, will certainly enlarge his heart
for goodness, If such thing could be pos
sible and also cause the expansion of his
Intellectual faculties to be eXerted in behalf
of the State, to such an additional extent
that California will be immeasurablv bene-
fitted for all time to come, and when the
Governor himself is no more his memory
will be forever revered. Life is too short
for him now but to devote it to the good of
the people. So far as Nevada is concerned
we think that his natural impulses will be
to stand by our silver interests, so init
mately connected are they with the trans
portatiOn question; and we hope and be-
lieve further, that ne will interest himself
in our affairs to the end that our people
may never have cause of complaint against
the Central Pacific Railroad-TDaily Ne

OUR NEXT SENATOR
Ex-Governor Stanford, as our next United
States Senator will reflect high honor and
credit upon California. He is to-day the
most distinguished man upon the Pacific
Coast, and almost the only one with ,
national and worldwide reputation As {
the war Governor OF California, he served :
with distinguished ability and was offered |
the nomination a second time, but refused
No one can doubt that he will fill the high {
position of Senator with as much honor /
and satisfaction as when he served as Gov q
ernor The high esteem in which he is
held is evinced from the encomiums he re- +
ceives from the leading men of both great j.,
parties in this State. Such men as n. D. :,
Rideout, w. j: Tinnin, Hon. John Boggs :
and Major NJ Bggs in the northern part of !
California unite in advocating Stanfords \
