Republicans Enthusiasm.

When somebody tsld Car Reed in iS9a
that he ought to climb on board the Harri-
sons band wagon he remarked that the vehi-
Gle was an ice wagon. Nobody can apply
snch description to the conveyance that
has Just started with a CHEEKY crack of the
drivers whip from the Burns hostelry in
Sacramento. Nothing is more inspiring
than the whole soulei enthusiasm with
which the work of the convention is vel
come by the Republican press of the State.
For instance, here Is the tribute of the
Sacramento Bee to the head of the ticket:
"The Bee has repeatedly and Increasingly
warned .he delegates to the Republican
Stare Convention now III session In this
city that the nomination of Morris NJ Estee
would mean the defeat of the ticket. After
having seanped the political horizon. how
ever, Colonel Burns, Commodore Spreckels
and Admiral De Young have averTed that
the people of California are wildly enthusias'
tic over this man; that the cities and the
towns, the mining sections and the farming
regions, the hills and the valleys,the north,
south. east and west, will roll up such ma
iorities for the vineyardist who is a states
man and he statesman who Is vineyard
ist, that the opposing candidates combined
will scarcely form an Incident in the race.
The Bee is said to know that the triumph
will be such an easy one, II can devote its
undivided attention 10 praising the agricult-
ural, horticultural, viticultural and vini.
cultural res curses of the great and product
tive county of Sacramento. leaving the fight
for Morris NJ Estee in this section of the
state in the confident hands ofthe Colonel,
the Commodore and the Admiral.
In fac., the Bees enthusiasm over Mr.
Estee is surpassed only by It's ecstasy over
the nomination ofGrove I. Johnson for Con-
gress in Its district. of The happy events
it rapturously exclaims:
Suffice il to say for the present that the
mere fact that the Republican deleg ties 10
the District Convention have seen fl. to
elevate this m an to an honor not msrited in
the face Of his history, nor Of his vagarious
and treatcherous wapderings from the
fold, will not force the Bee 10 remain silent
concerning the audacity Of such candidate
and the indecency of such a candidacy
Even if we were to lose sight of the right oI
the Republican party to he represented In
the halls of Congress by some man who
has been a Republican, we certainly cannot
be blisd TO the duty of the people TO choose
as their Representative a citizen in whom
they can place little trust. The delegates
to this District Convention have seen fit &c
nominate Grove Lawrence johnson for
Congress. Now let them elect him!
The.rejnicinss in the south are hardly
less uproarioas. The faithful Los Angeles
Times plunges into the fight foE Estee in
this inspiring flshicn:
We deplore his nomination, because i
was not truly a popular one because it dosi
not reflect the best and freest sentiment o.
the party and because ofthe needless great
er dificulty which it imposes upon the party
In the work which 1t has before 1t Of win
ming a victory in November. To win :ha'
victory is the supreme duty of the Repahli
can party, but. coming contest, the Times
urges that 1t be waged 10 a victorious con-
clusion.
Like The Bee. the Times has Congress
ioaal nominationg in its disiric, to rejoice
over, and this Is the way it does it:
The Sixth District Congressional Con
vention has nominated James M;Lachlar
Of Pasadena.
The gentleman delegates who have COM
passed this Questionable nomination will now
have an elegant opportunity to get in an'
elect their man. There is work TO DO, for
