Call a Halt.

(From the Nevada Transcript.)
Much unfavorable comment is being
heard on all hands because of the
course that the Republican majority in
the Legislature Is pursuing in relation
tc the matter of choosing a United
States Senator. 1t is becoming the
general sentiment that a halt should
be called, and that the Republican SEN
ators and Assemblynen should hold a
caucus without further parley. The
horseplay now being indulged in is be-
coming nauseating to their constitu-
ents. And it Is not only injuring the
Republican party, but is an imposition
on the taxpayers of the State whose
money they are frittering away. Neces-
sary legislation is being slighted or
altogether neglected. OF course the
Democrats are Laughing in their sleeves
at the deadlock and doing all in their

Why Not Caucus?


! (From the San Bernardino Times
Index.)
The proper way for the Republican
party to settle matters within itself
such as the election of United States
Senators is by caucuses. The Califor-
MIA Legislature has now been dead
locked on Senator for five weeks. Grant
has % votes, Burns 26, Bulla 13, Barnes
II, scattering Republicans {, Demo-
ocrats 80; total 120; necessary to elect
I'll The Republicans have SO votes,
hence 43 would be necessary to control
caucus Grant is 10 short of enough
votes to control a caucus and Burns is
II short.
Burns favors a caucus, and Grants
managers oppose a caucus. Under the
conditions it seems strange that Grant
should fear a caucus, and the only rea-
son we can advance for his stand is
that he hopes to buy up the Democrats,
and these, combined with his present
votes, would elect him. If this is not
the case, why does Grant fear a eau
Gus? He has two votes more than
Burns, and hence would presumably be
that much stronger in caucus.
Burns takes the stand Of a good Re-
to a caucus Of Republicans. Grant, who
is simply a political mountebank, and
cares nothing for the party, refuses to
submit to caucus, evidently expecting
to buy Democrats.
The '@Times-Index" has from the first
favored State Senator Bulla for the po-
sition of United States Senator. We
believe he is essentially the man for the
place. We consider Grant absolutely
unfit for the place. But even with the
danger of having such an Incompetent
man as Grant in the Senate we favor a
caucus.
We believe that neither Grant nor
Burns could win in a caucus. and that
the contest would be won by Bulla,
Barnes or Scott. If Grant should win
his great name would probably cover q
multitude of mental defects, and We
would have to stand it. If Burns should
be elected he would make a good Sem
ator, and work for the interest of our
State.
The present deadlock is positive in
jury to the Republican party, and the
sooner it is broken the better. Let's
have caucus and settle this matter
properly.

Favorable to Caucus.

(From the LompOc RecOrd)
The only papers on the Republican
side that are really fl L. Burns for
the United States Sen 1He the Cali
and Chronicle These are implaca-
BILE and even though he succeed, the
fight will go on. With all other Re-
publican papers it is different The
caucus rule when invoked will be ac-
cepted as the dictum of the party and
a loyal acquiescence will be accorded,
and if Burns succeed, which now seems
most probable, his praises will be
sounded and sung as with a single
voice. The Cali and Chronicle" as
sumo to be the party, or at least to di-
rect its destiny. The elevation of
Burns to the Senatorship will shiver
their power, and they in turn threaten
to shiver the party in California, which
may not prove an unmixed evil. The
deception practiced by these leading
journals in the November campaign
Is now so patent that their defeat will
be hailed with joy by a large class OF
Republicans. The Democracy are si-
lent lookers-on.

Unlock the Deadlock.

(From the Amador Republican,
The situation at Sacramento is not
one that can be regarded with satis-
faction by high-minded, broad minded
and patriotic citizens of this State.
If we scan closely the actions of our
legislators, we shall find less evidence
of craftsmanship than we might ex-
pect in a juvenile debating society and
more evidence of utter unfitness and
incapacity than the patience of long
suffering public is able to bear with
out being distinctly heard to complain.
Too many gentlemen of the Assembly
seem to have entirely forgotten that

Time to Break Away.

(From the Stockton RecOrd.)
In connection with the Senatorial
deadlock existing at Sacramento talk
is occasionally heard to the effect that
the Democrats should take a hand in
the matter and help the Republicans
elect a Senator The ingenious plea
has ever been made that as the Repub-
hcans seem to be unable to unite on a
suitable man in their own party they
had better stand in and select some ac-
ceptable Democrat.
Now, the Record does not believe
that the Republicans desire any inter
ference IN their party affairs by the
Democrats. The Republicans should
certainly be able to settle their differ
ences in their own household. How
ever, it is high time for the Republi-
cans to "get together and do business.
The legislative session is on the wane,
and the continuance of the acrimonious
Senatorial struggle is against the best
interests of the State and damning to
the future hopes of the Republican
party.
The work of the Legislature is mate
rally interfered with. and the longer
the choosing of the Senator is delayed
the wider becomes the breech in the
Republican party.
So far the friends of the various Sem
atorial candidates have manifested a
disposition to ballot it out on this line
if it takes all summer, and if continued
along the present lines the struggle
would undoubtedly take all summer.
several summers. in fact. But isn't it
about time to settle the matter in ac-
cordance with the axiom of republics
that the majority shall rule? There
seems to be no other ending to the
complication. At present it is a sort
of dog g-in-the-manger propc,sition-if 1
can't be Senator, neither shall you.
Why not end the wearisome and ap-
parently interminable wrangle in eau
Gus? Obviously there is no other way
out of it.
The Record is most emphatically
opposed to the idea of leaving the State
without a Senator for two years and
giving the next Legislature the selec-
ton. Viewing it from a party stand
point, the next Legislature may, and
probably will, be Democratic, unless
the Republicans in the Legislature can
come to some agreement and end their
internecine strife
California should not lose for two
years fifty per cent. of her representa-
ton in the upper house of Congress
simply on account of animosities ex-
isting among Republican leaders. The
present is an important epoch in the
history of the nation, in view of terri
torial acquisition and the problems
which will be presented in connection
. Herewith. California is especially in
terested, owing to location, in these
important questions.
Senator White has misrepresented
the State in the Senate and gone con-
trary to the wishes and instructions of
his constituents, and it is time man
more in touch with California senti-
ments should represent the great COM
monwealth in the upper house of Con-
gresS.
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture, mindful of your allegiance to your
party, you have an important duty to
perform for the State. If you can't
break the deadlock without caucus.
then caucus and be done with it. 1t
Is time to do something.
The record-union., 1899-02-14

Then why should the party which is in
the majority this year-the party that
is responsible to the people in this i'm
portant matter of choosing Senator
be afraid of itself? Majorities rule in
political organizations as in contests
between parties Let Republicans in
this Legislature honor that fact; hold
caucus not a bobtailed one; fight out
their differences there and in joint
convention record the result. The
present agony has lasted long enough.
End 1t.

DEMANDING
A SENATOR.
Expressions Of Leading Repub-
lican Newspapers.
They Insist That Republican Members of the
Legislature Get Together and Elect.

I for Steve White next time and the
"Chronicle" sknifing' the party in the
interest of White or some other DEM
ocrat.
The proprietors of both papers have
practically divorced themselves from
the Republican party and are running
amuck.''
The time has arrived for the interior
press to assert it's power and demand of
its representatives that they adopt the
time -honored CUSTOM of holding eau
Gus and electing a United States Sena-
tor.
The selfish proprietors of the Calf
and Chronicle have dominated the
party long enough and it is high time
the country press was taking united
and firm stand against them; the in
terest and welfare of the party now de-
mand it.
If we do not elect Senator this time
it may result in the Democrats doing
so two years from now. The Republi-
can party won glorious victory at the
last election and is entitled to the fruits
of the victory The time is ripe for
demonstration of patriotism and per-
sonal prejudices should be thrown
aside.
These are troublesome times for the
country and President Mckinley needs
all the assistance possible from his
party.
The Republican members of the Leg
islature should get together and settle
their differences and elect Senator;
too much valuable time has already
been wasted.
Since the above was put in type, the
Oakland Tribune" has come to hand
and we see that they devote three full
pages to interviews with Republicans
of Alameda County, who are prominent
ly known adj over the State. The list
of those interviewed contains 1876
| names, and among them we notice the
names of w. r. Davis Ira Bishop,
William G. Henshaw, William j. Din
gee, NJ. ]. Keller, James Moffatt, Harry
A Melvin, George F. Emory and scores
of others equally we'll known. We wish
| to repeat that it is high time the coun-
try press assert its power for it has
the power to end this unseemly strife.
The Republicans of California are will
ing to abide by the decision of a eau
Gus, which is the time-honored custom
of selecting a Senator.
The record-union., 1899-02-14

power to encourage it's continuance.
They realize that it is making ammu-
milton for their use in coming cam
paigns, and they live in the hope that
the next Legislature will, by being
Democratic, elect a Senator of their
political persuasion. In the meantime
this State would be with but one rep
resentative in the National Senate to
represent it's interests, and the Repub-
lican party would be held to account
by the people for this scandalous fact.
In view of all this it is no wonder that
the rank and file of the Republican
party of California demand that their
servants at Sacramento pursue the
only course that is according to the
rules Of precedent and common sense
that they go into caucus and afterward
abide by the decision of that caucus.
Give California without further trifiiEg
another Senator who will support the
Administration.
