a COOP ONE
The choice of our legislators is a good !
one. Governor Stanford i a man of pre- |
emincn' ability, of exalted character. and |
of such colossal wealth n 10 make him ST. |
perior To all petty considerations a., eXpeo!- /
ency and personal emolumtnt. We believe |

"a GOOD SENATOR"
Ex-Governor Stanford has become the
choice of our Legislature for United States

VIEWS OF 4 POLITICAL OPPONENT.
II is said that the whirligig of time
| brings about strange results. and this cleo
ton shows how true it is. So the future is !
wrapped in such impenetrablc darkness |
that it is hardly worth specializing on. |
There is one consolation about it: We Will |
have Senator whose ability is recognized, |
whose integrity has never been questioned
and it is as certain as any future event can |
be that it Will never be qUestioned-whose |
only ottense in life has been that, III build |
ing up great system Of transportation on |
these western shores, developing the re-
sources of almost every part of il, he has |
not conducted the business TO suit some of
the rest of us. To have done this would |
have required higher degree of human
perfection than the Creator has permitted |
any of e0rth's mold 10 fill We may as
well be frank enough to say that whatever
| of political capital may be legitimately
made by the election of the head of the
/ great transportation interests, with which
| the people are now in conflict, TO the Sen
ate by our opponents. we shall make
| There is legitimate argument against this,
| and We may refer to it as matters progress.

HoNORED HERSELF.
| California has but honored herself in
| honOring Governor Stanford In heart and
mind he is her greatest citizen, and his Gle
walton TO the Senate, by which his career
will be rounded Oft so splendidly, will GER
tainly enlarge his heart for goodness, if
such a thing could be possible, and also
cause the expansion of his intellectual fac
ultes 10 be eXerted in behalf of the State
to such an additional extent that California
will be immeasurably benefited for all time
to come, and when the Governor himself is
no more his memory will be forever re-
! vered. Life is too short for him now but
to devote it 10 the good of the people,
