ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE.

The New York Tribune says: Election by
the people means nomination by State
convention, and that would transfer the
vicious influence of corporations and OF
money from the responsible and sworn
legislators TO the comparatively irresponsi-
Bile delegates in convention.
According to all accounts responsible
and sworn legislators" are not much more to
be depended upon in New York than in
California. 1t was generally admitted by
the New York papers that Governor HUI
held the Senatorial nomination in his own
hand. At his dictatiOn the legislators would
have nominated any other Democrat whom
Mr.. Hill might designate. 1t was pretty
generally admitted also that Mr.. HilPs
standard of qualifications was based rather
upon an aspitantS willingness and ability
TO promote Mr.. HIPS Presidential aspira-
lions than upon an asprants ability to
serve the nation and the State. New Y ork
is an old, rich and in many respects con-
sentative State. 1t has passed the feverish
and reckless period which furnishes an eX-
cuSe for the license manifested in many OF
the newer communities. Its journals claim
that its moral tone is comparatively high.
All its people except the newly arrived
immigrants have had the advantages OF
public school education. Still in politics
they have reached no higher standard than
to hand over the choice of United States
Senator TO an admitted Presidential asp!-
rant. In California and in other new States
the people have had no voice in the election
of Senator for twenty years. Corporations
who had purposes to serve have had suffi-
cient influence to name the Senators i'll both
parties. One hundred aud twenty legi Sla-
tors, many of whom had sought the Office
for the opportunities it afforded to make
money, have had the whole matter in their
own hands The Senatorial seat las been
virtually if not actually knocked down to
the highest bidder. There must be some
way out of this condition of things. The
patience of the people has already been
somewhat too severely tested. We do not
think another Senatorial seat can be pur-
chased in this State without peril both to
the purchaser and the seller. When one
method has been tried and found wanting
it is the part of wisdom to try another.
Nomination by convention cannot well be
worse and may be much better than nominal
ton by Legislature. 1t is generally known
when Legislature will have to elect a Sem
atOr and candidates begin 10 sow the seeds
of corruption in advance. Characterless
men are elected in the several legislative
districts and supplied with money upon an
agreement to vote. if elected, for Senator rs
directed. Ii there are two or three aspirants
they pool their issues when the Legislature
meets, one taking the prize, the other coin,
or other consideration, enough to cover out
lay. The kind Of men this method fills the
Senate with need not be described.
