No Newspaper Ever Held In Such Odium
ms the Examiner.
Stockton Mail, August 2lst.
1t is rarely indeed that newspaper is
publicly held up for contempt and derision :;
but the San Francisco Examiner has at
tanned that dishonorable distinction. Rare
indeed are the instances where the State
Convention of a great party Kisses the very
name Of paper which would fan be the
party's mouthpiece, but that token of
shame was bestowed upon the Examiner in
the Democratic Convention at San Jose
yesterday. The odium attached to the
name of the Examine or is now such as has
never been attained by any newspaper in
the history of the State Of California.
But although the paper be thus publicly
held in loathing it may justly make no COM
plant; it has well earned the cup of dis
grace of which it drinks.
For months the Examiner management
has been notorious among the criminals OF
the State. 1t has publicly and persistently
advertised itself as such, and its lottery
criminal though it isis about as well Tor
I'D known as the alleged Monarch itself.
Did the Examiner suppose that 1t could
be VIGOROUSLY criminal in Its business
methods and still maintain the respect oil
right-minded men? Let the action OF the
Democratic Convention yesterday partially
answer the question.
The alleged Monarch should cOnfine itself
TO representing the interests ana being the
organ Of one United States Senator, the end
for which it was purchased. When 1t does
more than that and would dictate to State
in reference to both its Senators, the people
protest, and that again is the meaning of
the misses in yesterdays Democratic Con-
yenti0n.
Stenhen NJ White NAV or NAV not be the
choice of this State to the honorable office
to which he aspireS; but at least one thing
may be said of him: His election would
tend to the TRANSMISSION of brains, rather
than gold, into the United States Senate,
which would not injure that honorable body
And here is the browning fact in the
whole chapter of the Examiners disgrace {:
The very men who most strenuously OPP
posed Mr.. Whites ambition to be Endorsed
by the San Jose Convention were among
those who Kissed loudest at a SuppoSitltlous
defense of that dishOnored Sheet They
agreed with the San Francisco paper in OPP
position TO the aspirations of the Los An
geles statesman; but they none the less
hesitated not to cry shame upon the con-
temptible methods of that paper. Nor would
they even for moment admit the suppose
ton that either the Self-styled Monarch's
motives or its methods were fair and hon
orable.
1t was a cruel and CALLING blow to a
should-be great political paper, but it was
none the less deserved one.
The Mail said some time ago that the
time was rapidly coming when Democrats
would not heed the political suggestions of
the Examiner, because that paper has not
been Democratic in politics or anything else
save veerins, vacillating and uncertain, the
plaything of nIilli0naire's son, the repre-
sentative Of his unhedged ideas. The time
of which the Mail prophesied has come, and

The self-heralded Monarch is uncrowned,
