WHY WE OPPosE SWIFT.

This paper will oppose the election of
Swift, but it will base its opposition upon
something little broader and more
manly than the circumstance that the
Republican candidate once earned his liv-
ing with his hands. What seems to us
to be the strongest objection to Swift
arises in his own party and relates to his
well.known deficiency in the matter of
adhesion to principle. The doctrines,
aims and purposes of the Repu ublican
party have been precisely the same ever
since Swift became a public man or de-
veloped any political aspirations, yet ne
has left it and burnt his ships behind him,
returning only when every other hope
had vanished. This action was due TO
one of three causes, namely, an unstable
nature, insincerity in his professions or
inordinate desire for office, at whatever
sacrifice it might be got. We submit
whether such a man possesses in any
marked degree the essential attributes
which should distinguish Governor. 1t
is not of cardinal Importance that the
Chief Executive of Sovereign State
should have superior literary ability or
be able even TO make good speech. The
fundamental, ever present and vital dis.
ideratum is an honest heart and a level
head. Stockton Mail lind J.

Legislature that Swift induced legisla-
tors to vote for the bill by personal i'm.
portunity and plausible representations.
1t was also common rumor in Sacramen-
to at the time; as can be substantiated
by members of that Legislature, that
Swift obtained votes for his bill by agree
ing to vote for the pet measures of other
members. His bill was passed during the
stormy period when the whole State was
oonvulsed with the Workingmen's move
ment, or it would never have gone
through. Only the intense agitation of
the time and the Efforts of the Legisla.
ture to deal with the labor question per.
miited Swift to push his bill through
without exciting serious opposition. As
it was, Judge James v. Coffey and Will.
lam Broderick, who were members of the
San Francisco delegation, refused to vote
for it on any terms. When Swift drew
the S25, 900 he literally drained the city
treasury dry, and the legitimate outstand.
ing claims against the city had TO lie over
IN consequence.
AS for Swift's saving the city that suit.
it would have been won il he had never
been born, for before he ever thrust his
services in the case the suit had been
going on nearly four years, aud City and
County Attorney Burne had rendered a
written opinion setting forth that, in his
belief. the city could win the suit.--San
Francisco Examiner.

NEFF's LITTLE JOB.

j. I'll. Nef, candidate for State Treas.
urer on the Republican ticket, was one
of the five Prison Directors appointed by
Governor Perkins. Under Section Of
Article X of the State Constitution, the
members of the Board of Prison Directors
cannot receive any compensation ether
than reasonable travelling and other ex-
penses incurred while engaged in the per-
formance of official duties. Notwith-
standing this plain prohibition, the
Board had passed in the Legislature of
1880 an Act allowing them mileage at
the rate of 20 cents per mile; and in
March, 1881, had it amended SO that the
Board should receive 10 cents per mile
and 500 per month for other expenses.
This legislation for the purpose of getting
around the State Constitution was so
manifestly unconstitutional, as stated
by ex-Attorned General Hart, in his re-
port to the Governor, that he (Hart)
brought suit against the members of the
Board for the recovery of the amounts
received by them under these Acts. The
Supreme Court sustained the views of
Attorney General Hart (Cal. Reports 81,
page 262), and under the decision the
Board had to return the'sum of SILL
065 go. Neff was sued for 81, ,S7l rs.
This is the kind of a man the Repub.
licans desire to make custodian of the
States money. What do the taxpayers
think about it?-[S. F. Examiner.

WINE AND BRANDY.
The Quantities Sent to New York
from California.

Bonfort's Spirit Circular says: The
steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company brought us during the past
month 81, ,9l9 gallons of California wine.
September, one year ago, 77,llS gallons
arrived, and in the same month of 1884,
go. 1853 gallons. The total quantity re-
csived during 1886, 1885 and 1884, up to
the end of September, was 500. 6O2 gall
Ions. $40, 1874 gallons and SSl, 934 gallons
respectively. OF California brandy we
received during September "a gallons as
against l.6l5 gallons last September a
year ago, and 1880 gallons in the same
month of 1884. During the first nine
months of this year l5,S3S gallons ar.
rived, last year 6,9l4 gallons and in 1884,
81, 500 gallons. The best estimates we
are enabled to gather concerning the vim.
tage put it at about 10000 900 gallons.
Great uncertainty regarding the weather
in California makes this estimate of little
valuo. 1t will not be long before the &C.
tual results can be stated.

Grape Rot-An orr Year.

This year will be long and sadly re-.
membered by the grape-growers of the
States near the Atlantic Seaboard, as
one of the most disastrous for many
years. The Concords are almost total
failure from rot, and so are nearly all
others that are subject to the disease;
even the Norton and Cynthiana are a
good deal injured in New Jersey, Vir.
giana and all the Southern States. The
loss is so heavy that the wine.product
will be sensibly diminished, and the mar.
kets for table-grapes will be limited to a
minimum supply. The prospect now is
that there will be not more than half a
crop in the entire area east of the Rock
ies.-N. Y. Wine and Fruit Grower.
