BREAK THE DEADLOCK.
The Press Continues to Speak for
the People ON That Matter.

Alameda Encinal: The bitter oppo-
sition of the two leading Democratic
papers of San Francisco-the Cali and
the "Examiner"-to the conference of
Republican legislators is a certain in
dication- that it is the right thing for
every good Republican to do. Since
it is the very thing sthat the enemies
of the party, open and secret, do not
want, it follows as a matter of course
that it is the one thing that they are
afraid of and the one thing that can
save the party from defeat. 1t is to
be hoped that all the Republicans will
go into it, and that they will abide by
the decision of the conference, what
ever it may be.
HOLD A CAUCUS.
The Calistogan: The Republican
| legislators are doing some fine Demo-
cratic politics. and the press of that
party is exulting over the squabble and
prophesying success Overwhelmingly for
| it's party if the present Legislature fails
| to choose a Senator. Now. let these
| legislators fall IN line and hold a eau
Gus for the selection of a successor to
Mr.. White. Their constituents are
getting Disguised at the dilatory tao
| tics of all who refuse to go into eau
Gus and they will hear from the people
| in anything but a complimentary way
| if they do not do their duty by break
| ing the deadlock before the close of the
session. If they fail to do so they will
| undoubtedly cause Democratic Leg
islature to be elected two years hence.
| We urge that they pay no more att
| tention to the treacherous acts of the
| metropolitan press, which does not rep
| resent the people. but the selfish inter-
ests of the jealous proprietors. and go
| into open assembly and select some one
| to represent our golden State at Wash
| ington for the next six years.
A BAD PURPOSE.
| Los Angeles Express: AS the session
of the Legislature draws toward its
close it becomes more and more evident
| that there is a dog-in-the-manger pur-
| pose on the part of a number of men,
bers of that body to force a deadlock
and deprive the State of it's represen-
tation in the Senate rather than give
up their own candidate. That certain
candidates who profess to be stanch Re-
| publicans and devoted friends to the
| best interests of the State participate
| i'll tfl1> tLt6lllOIl ~ iiioSt PAIN uhy ONi-
dent. The people of California will, in
the event of a deadlock. hold those leg
| islators, and more particularly those
candidates, responsible for the unhappy
outcome of the fight.
NOW FOR A SENATOR.
| Oakland Tribune: With every day
that passes now the demand of the Re-
pubiicans of the State of California
upon the Legislature for the choice OF
some good Republican to represent this
State in the United States Senate be-
comes more urgent and Imperative
With every passing day it becomes
more apparent that the only way for the
accomplishment of this prime duty OF
| the Legislature is for its Republican
members to lay aside their preferences
and their prepossessions. come together
as Republicans and patriotic Califor-
mans and agree upon any known and
tried Republican who may prove to
have a majority of the votes OF the
body so inspired and SO constituted.
This is the Republican way, the pa
| triotic way, the fair way, and the only
way The interests of the State call
for it, the Republicans of the State de-
mand it, and the welfare of the Repub-
/ lican party of the nation requires 1t.
