OFF ITS PERCH.

Our contemporary, the Examiner, has
been taking of late much greater interest
in Republican than in Democratic politics.
This, of course. is natural, for the affairs of
Democracy are calculated to produce a
tired feeling even in Democratic organs
and incline them to look to Republicanism
for something of political life and vigor
Thus we are not surprised that the Eram-
aaer should have devoted part OF it's
editorial page yesterday to a consideration
of mckinley in California" nor do we
find it strange that the consideration
should have led it to undergo spell of
morbidness and write out of its bile rather
than its intellect.
The Examiner declares mckinley would
make the weakest candidate the Republi-
can partycould put up-always excepting,
OF course, disreputables like Quay" 1t
further asserts: 1.-THE one weak spot in
McKinley's campaign is the East. If he
were as strong on the other side of the
Ohio as he is on this side he would get
the nomination by acclamation." This is
the Democratic view, it seems, and will
doubtless be as amusing to Independents
and even to intelligent Democrats as it is
to Republicans.
1t is misuse of terms to speak of
Mckinley as the weakest candidate the
Republican party could put up, for as a
matter of fact there are no weak candidates
named for the party nomination. Any
one of the illustrious Republicans who
have been proposed for the Presidency
would be elected if nominated. The mem
bers of the party in California will vie
with those of other localities to see whose
State will roll up the biggest majority for
protection prosperity and the st. Louis
nominee. Allison, Cullom, Reed, Morton.
Mckinley. or Quay would each poll not
only the full vote of the Republican party,
but the independent vote and a consider
able percentage of Democrats and Popu-
lists, who have repented of free trade and
Clevelandism.
The Examiners attempted slur upon
Quay by the use of the word "disreput-
able deserves a passing notice. Quay is
disreputable only among Democrats, who
vilify the leader who beats them, and
among certain class of Pennsylvania
would-be bosses who have tried to over
throw him and failed. His war record is
one OF the most glorious achieved by the
brave men who entered the army as
privates and won promotion by arduous
service on the field. His political record
shows him to be one of the abIest leaders
of men now living. and his achievements
in the Senate give him a right to rank
among the great statesmen of the age.
He is not disreputable among people of
good repute themselves, and the honors
bestowed on him by the conservative and
honorable commonwealth of Pennsylvania
is proof of the fact.
The Eraminer need not concern itself
further about the Republican party or Re-
publican candidates. 1t may take it as an
assured fact that the party, with any of
the great men named as its leader, can
carry the country.
In the meantime il might be worth while
for our contemporary to look around and
see if it can find Democratic candidate
who will be sure of carrying for his party
even so much as State or two in the one
time solid South

THE DEMOCRATS ALSO.
Placer Herald.

An unpledged delegation, but harmonious
one, should be sent to the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago. The platform adopted
by the State Convention at Sacramento should
be the platform of the Democracy of Califor-
MIA, and the preferences of that convention
should be the preferences of the Democracy of
California. If the State Convention declares
for silver, or expresses a preference for any
Presidential candidate, care should be taken
that the delegation be sufficiently harmonious
to carry out the conventions wishes by every
honorable and Democratic means, but don't
pledge them to any one candidate.
