pudently with all its thousand fakes. The
publication of the schemes was clearly
intended to help Perkins by forcing Re-
publicans TO vote for him under the threat
that if they do not the Democrats will
elect him. 1t will be seen therefore that
these statements OF the tricks contem-
plated by the Perkins managers came
from their friends and are designed to aid
them. They are entitled therefore to as
much credence as can be given to any
thing which emanates from such sources
1t will be noted that the Examiner cor
respondent does not say that Lands
borough is to be forced to vote for Per-
kins, but only that he is to have the law
worked" in his favor if he will desert
Gator and ''vote for Republican" The
correspondent evidently has not The same
sense of humor possessed by others in the
Examiner office, and suspects something
of dishonor in this scheme to take adj
vantage of mans liability to the law to
force him to vote against his party. Had
any of the friends of Mr.. Shortridge de-
vised this scheme the Examiner man
would have named at once the Republican
for whom Landsborough's vote was to be
secured and would have played it up as
the big sensation of the first week of the
legislative session.
1t is against tricks and schemes of the
nature OF those described by the Examiner
and Post that Mr.. Shortridge has to make
his contest. 1t seems incredible that a
candidate for the United States Senate
would resort 10 such efforts to defeat the
will of his own party and procure an cleo
ton by aid of certain weak men of other
parties. THE CALL would never have as
serted such things of Senator Perkins. 1t
does not believe now that ne connives at
these tactics of his managers, and it is to
be trusted that as soon as he becomes
aware of them he will repudiate
them-if indeed his managers themselves
do not succeed in proving both stories to
be false, and showing that they are the
mere emanations of takers who have no
more sense of honor in politics than in
journalism.

ANOTHER TRICK.

We were indebted Friday to the Sacra-
mento correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Post for revelation Of the tactics of
the Perkins managers to bring about his
election to the Senate by inducing certain
Democratic and Populist legislators to re-
main away from the Ca pitol when the vote
was taken. A further alleged revelation
of their schemes was made yesterday by
the correspondent Of the Examiner in the
statement that pressure would be brought
to bear upon one of the Populist Assem-
blymen to compel him to vote for Per-
kins.
The scheme asserted by the Examiner
correspondent can be best stated in his
own words He says:
1t is definitely understood, however. that
should the Republicans IN the Assembly fail
to make nomination by the third ballot on
Tuesday, the Democrats will end the matter
then and there. Assemblyman Lands borough,
the Sacramento Populist who is under arrest
on flock of felony indictments, has been the
target of some endeavor. Ex-senator Frank
Sprague is his attorney and is entirely willing
to help the unfortunate Assemb lyman in any
way he can by little political manipulation.
So if any point in Landsborough's favor can
be worked by having him desert Gator and
vote for Republican, the point will undoubt-
edly be scored.
For a right comprehension of these
revelations it must be borne in mind that
the Post is for Perkins by insinuation ac-
cording to its character, and the Examiner
according to its character is for him i'm

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 8, 1897.
TO the Editor of the San Francisco Catt-SIR:
II am not too late would ike 10 say TO the
Iaw-making power now in session at Sacra
mento to give US Republican for our next
united States Senator 1t is so long since our
state mas had one that our party woul1 hail
the giao udings with untold joy. The present
incumbent is anything but Republican, as
evidenced by the rotten Democratic press
now clamoring for mis- reelection
During the late campaign and prior to the
nomination being made for Renresantsttva in
Congress from the Fourth District Senator
Perkins delivered speech before the SAN
Frauclsco Cnanper OF Commerce eulogizing
Congressman Mcguire and urging his return
to Congress.
Will The CALL kindly supply it, as have not
access TO the lille and forget the date? wrote
him letter, however, at the time upbraiding
him for his course and tod him the great in
Justice he had done TO whoever would be the
Republican nominee, all OF which turned out
to be the truth. / venture TO say we have had
no genuine Republican Senator since the late
one-eyed hero Miller. If there is any efficacy
in prayer, peace to his sacred ashes.
Had u say in the councils of the Republi-
can party / would urge the appointment of
Morris NJ. Estee for Cabinet position, al
though l frankly acknowledge L do not like
him personally; but right is right, and If
lifelong devotion to the Republican party and
its attendant principles is claim he certainly
has got it, and it is ingratitude to ignore him
at this time.
But, Mr.. Editor, the position of United
States Senator carries with it peculiar fitness,
all of which is embodied in the Hon. s. NJ.
Shortridge. His voice in the halls of the Ma
tional Legislature would be of tncalculable
benefit TO our glorious State, would soIldtfy
the Republican party and rebound to the
everlasting credit of those who would be in
strumental in electing him. If we cannot
have Mr.. Shortridge, why give US George A.
Knight or some gentleman OF like qualifica-
tions, but by all means let him be Republic
can in every sense that the word implies.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
M J. Sullivan

kins and urged his election to the Senate,
not because he is most fit, but because he
has the best sense of humor. The point in
thisis not so apparent as in the case OF the
orator who nominated Morrissey, but let
that pass. The Exdriner may not have
meant it to be pointed.
= is undeniably true, nsaid the Erane-
siler with sudden burst of veracity into
which it was betrayed by its eager pursuit
OF an unexpected bubble of wit, sit is uI-
deniably true that Mr. Shortridge is
equipped with character superior to self
lsh and sordid interests, with learning in
the broad sense of the term and with elo-
quence which attracts the mind; heis also
fearless friend of justice, gentleman OF
independent character and of broad cul-
ture; but he has one defect-he has no
sense OF humor. Now, there is Senator
Perkins'-but here the Examiner paused
ana ceased TO pursue the theme.
1t is feared the Examiner has itself no
sense Of humor, for otherwise it would not
have ventured gravely and seriously to
disturb the decent decorum and dignity
OF legislative body celebrating with
earnestness as BELTS statesmen the selec-
ton OF representative of California in
the United States Senate by intruding the
argument that he must have sense of
humor. Neither is it likely that the En-
anainer, had it possessed true apprecia-
ticn OF the ludicrous, would have raised
before public imagination picture of its
candidate, Mr.. Perkins, perked upon a
pinnacle of keen sense of humor and
claiming seat in the Senate on that merit
alone.
In Ben Jonson's drama, "Every Man
to His Humor," a large place and full
play is given to the 'Angry Boy" The re-
membrane that "Rare Old Ben" allowed
the ebullience of that chap to count in his
tolerant use of the word as "humor" gives
ground for conceding as much to the Er-
onaiaer even when it urges the nomina-
tion OF SO mild-mannered and placid an
old gentleman as Mr.. Perkins to the
United States Senate on the ground that
he is risky, frolicsome and agreeably
humorous. 1t is certain, however, that
Mr.. Perkins is not so keenly devoted to
fooling that he would like to be addressed
in The Senate as PERKY" 1t is clear,
therefore. the Examiners sense of humor
is peculiar. Mr.. Willie Hearst is evidently
playing the part of the Angry Boy"

THE ANGRY BOY.

The orator who first presented the ex-
prize fighter John Morrissey for Congress
addressed the convention in words of frank
enthusiasm: Gentlemen, he declared
Il do not urge Mr.. Morrissey for Congress
because he is most fit, but DO assert that
he has fit most" The convention APP
plauded, the people approved ana Mr.
Morrissey was duly elected.
That declaration of the quality required
in candidate for Congress occupied a
unique place in the annals of American
politics until yesterday. when the Exam
liner pronounced in favor of Senator Per-
