This is the opinion of our esteemed
contemporary the, San Jose Herald, .
Democratic from the crown to the toe:
The Senatorial muddle seems to be
no nearer settlement now than it was
a month ago. There is now talk of
adjournment without electdng Sena-
tor. 1t may be said that California
would be at no disadvantage by being
unrepresented by any of the candidates
now prominently before the Legisla-
ture. Neither they nor their support
ers seem to have an idea beyond their
personal vanity or self seeking. Be-
sides, if the Legislature should fail to
elect. it would give the Democrats the
best of reasons for sweeping the State
at the next election, which would be
distinct gain for the people at large.

The "Press-Democrat'' Of Santa Rosa
warmly advises Republican legislators
to keep out Of caucus. And SO say all
these willy Democrats-and why should
they not? Mephistophles knows his
business when he goes about it. AS the
Alameda "Encinal'' well says:
Advice to Republican members of
the Legislature: Read the Democratic
papers carefully, note what they say
about the Senatorial fight, study what
they think is the right thing to do
and then do exactly the opposite. So
shall you find the right way and sue
coed in accomplishing much good for
the State and the party.
The record-union., 1899-02-19

duty. Nothing more can be asked Of
them. But fear that the majority may
select some one as a candidate who is
not the personal choice of some or sew
eral, cannot serve as an excuse on their
part for refusal to enter the council,
win comply with it's traditional meth
DDS, make their fight in the council or
caucus, and there end it. Having done
SO, they are freed from responsibility,
since they have done their full duty.
This is so obvious that we cannot
understand how any one can condone
a deadlock, and at the same time claim
the benefits, privileges and honors of
the party. But if the deadlock con-
tinues; If no Senator is chosen; if
through mistaken sense of duty, or the
interposition of personal desire or ambi-
ton, or the stubborn will of individuals,
the election of a Senator is prevented,
and the Administration thus deprived
of support that the people of the State
by their expressed will at the polls
have voted to be it's due, there will be
a fearful accounting. Every man who
stands ready to enter the party council
will be absolved of blame. Every leg
islator claiming to be a Republican
who prevents the council viii be held
blameworthy and be called to account
by the party.
Worse than that, the people of the
State will call the party itself to ae-
count and at the next election Will lay
on the rod in a way never to be for
gotten. For. the party order to its rep
resentatives in the Legislature is as
clear, positive and emphatic as ever
parental command was to child. The
party has said that a Republican Sena-
tor should be sent to Washington
Whoever defeats that command must,
therefore. expect punishment at the
hands of the party, and if the party
itself through the rebellious action of
it's representatives refuses to fill the
seat soon to be made vacant in
the Senate. the people will rebuke
and defeat the party. Hence it is that
Democrats are all smiles on these days,
and are quietly doing their best to pre-
vent the Republicans from following
usual methods and deciding upon a
candidate.
