THE RESULT.

From the Phoenix, San Jose, Nov "a, 1891.
Whatever may be the verdict in the Rea-
Wood suit for alleged SANDER, the result of
the trial in the expose of yillainous corrup-
tion, which has so long stalked unshamed In
our midst. will be productive of incalcula-
Bile benefit to the peeple-always provided
that the public will look upon such practices
as moral and political crime.
Ii, however, our citizens remain passive.
encourage such things because they look
smart, and partake of the cu.eness of the
hoodlum, instead of giving deserved CEN
sure when there is a visible wrong. no
good will have baen ACCOMPLISHED. On
the contrary, the scenes of boodlerisn.
bossism, corruption of voters, the bargain
and sale of official positions, the censor
ship over the Board of Education by
political manipulators. will have been
thrown. upon the canvas by the CAM
era snndsd Of the the super superior Court to eyes
fear OF loss in trade, which the influences
OF the conspirators might infct. Ii Is
strange how much more some people are
afraid. OF losing the trade of gang Of
scoundrels than they could be of the
honorable and moral element of society.
1t is true, intimidation has been praeticed
until some OF our business men are afraid to
uphold what they know. TO be right, and
permit themselves and their names to be as
sociated with the methods Of this class, and
thus render quasi Endorsement.
The time has now come when intimida-
tion need have no effect, but joining heart
and soul with the people, an effectual
cleansing can be made OF the political
household. Let the people now determine
that no longer will it be subseryient to the
Tweedites and Buekleyites who have op-
pressed them. and been exposed to the
public gaze. Let the people unite aud give
the already moribund body of boodcrs its
death blow.
The present trial has shown such DEPTHS
of infamy, abetted by venal press; such
outrageous conspiracies and gangs banded
together for public plunder, accomplishing
their ends by bribes and official patronage
by threats and brute force, that the whole
commonwealth stands appalled, at the deg
radiation. Providence helps those only who
help themselves, and it Is to be hoped that
the people will now exert themselves for
their own welfare and determine TO dis
countenance any effort the bosses and
bOodlers, now uncovered and glorifying
each other in their shame, may make to in
sinuate themselves into any political organ
izatOn in this county. Let them be made
to understand that there is no longer room
In decent associations for such types OF DO
htical villainy. 1t is the peoples turn now
to read out men from the respective parties,
and although the rebuke of the last State
election in this county in its vote for Rail-
road Commissioner is unheeded, yet the
force of an honest public opinion will MAN,
tain the judgment then expressed, and those
whose regulations have been smirched in
the corrupt ring now laid bare will mover
again dare lift their heads as aspirauts for
any office within the gift of the people.
Neither will their influence be sought to Sc
cure position as janitor or to provide
situation for a teacher in our public schools.
