What Some of the Newspapers of Inte-
fior California say.
[Placervllle Democrat
For its anti-railroad. anti-poverty and
anti-Cleveland twaddle, the E.cahliner
has nickel in the slot. And now that
its stale platitudes have been repudiated
by the people. it can go back to the Evans
Sontag tragedy, the refusal of railroad
companies to concede the demands of
strikers and the pictorial nonsense with
Which its empty columns are filled.
TO HEADQUARTERS.
Los Angeles Timesl
The announcement comes from Paris
that NJ. lola contemplates coming to
New York for the purpose of studying
official corruption there. NJ. lola evil
IDENTIFY appreciates the advantage of go
ing directly to headquarters TO conduct
his researches.
SUNDAY PAPERS.
Woodland Reporter.l
Church Congresses are after the Sunday
newspaper again. There is a strange
ness about the inconsistency of some
people that battles all understanding.
What Dissertation OF the Lords Day is
the Sunday newspaper? There are no
Sunday papers but are of service that
day. Yes, and they do good. DO the
good folks who are so overzealous in
their desire for sanctity think for the
most lnInitesinal portion OF a second
That II the Sunday papers ceased puDilca-
ton church attendance would increase
materially?
COUNTING BLUNDERS.
Tulare Register
When Boards OF Election blunder in
counting votes and making returns the
best course IS To admit il and not try to
saddle the blame upon the election law.
we can have no system SO simple that it
will be necessary To count votes, foot up
results and sign tally sheets. II will be
necessary to do these things under any
system. and III these things were most Of
the errors found in our recent election.
ELECTION CONTEST.
lRN erside Press
There seems to be little doubt that
there have been gross irregularities, if
not baretaced frauds, committed by the
election officers in San Francisco, but
there seems to be q difference OF opinion
as TO whether it is worth while TO cou-
test the matter of Budd's election in tho
courts. Many Republicans do not think
1t Will pay TO knock Budd out on tech
nlcalIty, although if there is actual fraud
1t IS the duty OF the people TO see that it
does not allow the Governors chair 10 be
hlled by man not entitled to it.
PRESS POWER.
TSan Jose Mercury.l
In his speech at the Press Club benefit
given at the opening of his great baths,
AdOlph Sutro said The press should,
and generally does, rule our land" AS
there was not single newspaper in San
Francisco that supported Sutro, there is a
sad suspicion that the old man was sar-
donic in his remark, but perhaps lie only
meant to imply that the rule works both
ways, and goes backward occasionally.
ABOUT NEVADA.
Oakland Times.l
The burleSque which the State of Ne
vada points as a member of the Union of
States is shown III the returns of the cleo
ton, where the entire number, of votes
polled will not exceed 5000, which were
divided among four candidates for Gov
ernor. The righteousness of the situa-
ton is illustrated in the fact that the Re-
publicans in a single ward in San Fran
cisco polled as many votes as the whole
State OF Nevada.
SEDATIVE.
San Diego Union.l
While the new Gar is kept busy an
sWerlng kilograms of coincidence he is
not likely to in1iict any new hardshjpS
upon his people. 1t might bea good idea
Tor the philanthropic to send out batch
OF kilograms every day as q sedative
pending the development of the real in
tentions Of the Gar.
SIGNAL VICTORIES.
Shasta Courler.J
In the triumphs won this year in the
Eastern, Middle and Western States the
victories were purely Republican victo-
RES. In these States, where triangular
lights have been made, rs in Kansas and
California for instance, the Democrats
were tender on the Populists and Popu-
lists tender on the Democrats and both
directed the heaviest fire of their batteries
upon the Republicans. And notwith-
standing these combine assaults the Re-
pubiicans have won signal and glorious
victories. The l4I straight Kepu blican
majority which Will control the next
Congress. and the majority that will con-
troll the Senate, shows the strength and
vitality OF the party and the trust the
people have i'll 1t when the Nations high
est interests and honor are at stake
THE ELECTION LAW.
lLivermore Herald
The new election law is a great i'm
provement over the old one, but there is
still room for many important changes,
especially as regards counting the ballots.
We should adopt the New York plan of
counting the ballots every hour, so that
when the polls are closed the result is
known shortly afterwards. More safe
guards should be thrown around primary
elections and conventions. This done we
would have an ideal election law.
