 Therefore there is left the Republican party only one course It avail itself of the best material It must not be led into the selection of candidate whose political private career cannot be exposed to the fullest light. The chosen man must have clean record from scrutiny of which nothing can be dragged for his undoing We cannot afford to enter upon campaign of apology and explanation.
 There must be doubtful transactions to be cleared away If the campaign cannot be one of az gression it will be of disaster If from the start the Republican party shall be forced to make excuses to try to clear away doubts to establish the character of its chosen bearer deny, to attempt to refute the endeayor will be useless and the end of it defeat.

AN UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION.

THE sectional political argument when introduced into State politics may be made to
 produce some curious results. We trust our esteemed Republican friends in Southern California and Alameda County, since they using this line of argument for the promotion of their influence in this campaign will not take ofense we direct their attention to few facts in connection with it Our purpose, we may add, is to foster the general Re publican welfare and not to make odious compari- sons or draw invidious distinctions.
 At the election of I8o6 Alameda County cast about 900 votes At the present time the county Is repre- sented in the State and National Government by United States Senator Superintendent of the Mint, a Commissioner of Emigration, a Congressman, Supreme Justice and member of the State Board of Equalization For the coming campaign the county has presented two candidates for Governor, third who claims that he formerly resided within its boundaries, and the usual number of aspirants for minor offices
 The region south of Tehachapi comprises counties: Los Angeles Orange, Riverside, San Der nardino San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. At the election of I8o6 they poed about 6oooo votes, less than one-ffth of the total vote of the State, The region is not heavily Republican. It gave Me Knley little over plurality. In the present tional and State government Southern California has United States Senator, an Attorney General, clerk of the Supreme Court and the usual quota of local Offc1alS It Will present to the coming Otdte con vention candidates for Governor, Supreme Justice, Attorney General, State Treasurer and clerk of the Supreme Court. At the Legislature of 18oo if that body happens to be Republican, 1t will present the names of two candidates for United States Senator Southern California and Alameda County, 1t will thus be seen although casting less than 25 per cent of the vote of the State, in possession of nearly all the offices. If they are given what their politi- clans ask for in this campaign and the people elect
 Republican administration, Southern California and Alameda County will have actually captured "eyery- thing in sight.
 We do not know whether the politicians of these regions have heard of it. but there is city in California called San Francisco It cast at the last
 election over 6o,ooo votes. Yet 1t has no Senator, and it is represented in the State government only by two Supreme Justices We have not thus far in this campaign heard anybody in Southern California or Alameda County mention" San Francisco can ddate for any office In fact, the silence in this spect IS oppressive that Mir. de Young has been compelled to mention" himself for Senator. Would 1t not be good idea for the politicians of Southern California and Alameda County to consider this city in connection with something? We defeated the last Republican Governor here, and but for us Bryan would have carried the State. We are cer- tainly entitled to poundkeeper, porter tide waiter or something.

"A Subscriber says: Flew to the line; let the chips fall where they may" An excellent sentiment hereto fore indorsed. I may not be an ex- pert in hewing to the line, but I think the anonymous writer, who presumes to send his, her or its counsel to newspaper is about as low a type of the coward as ever appeared on the human horizon to fulfill the mission of being a horrible example. If there are any chips about this, I hope some of them will fall where they may attract the attention of "A Subscriber" to the fact that she, he or it is a feminine, masculine or neuter ass. I had already given warning that the anonymous were unpopular with me, but the case under consideration is not particularly grievous, and so I use only mild and pleasing terms this time But a day of wrath is coming.
