FOL g The Ezaminer declare: Slandering California is Hearst's idea of fun. The boodle organ boodles as a merry jest. Supporting Perkins is a faker’s joke on the State. Where there is humor without dignity there is only a clown. ““Mocking at decency,” says the slum panderer, “is true humor.” Charging legislators with seeking bribes is merely a Willie Hearst witticism. “We lie about honest men,” says the blackmailer’s organ, “becsuse that is our humor.” The attempts of the Ezaminer to worry Senator Perkins “into selling a ship" are admittedly humoro “I do not pretend to have a sense of de- cene; ys Long Green Lawrence, ‘‘but please observe my sense of humor.” The Eraminer gave notice yesterday that it is supporting Mr. Perkins for the Senate simply because he is 2 funny fellow with a great sense of humor. “When I took that $22,000 from the Southern Pacific Company,’” says Willie Hearst, “I was gently jocose, but when I kicked because I did not get $8000 more I became truly comic.” The Eraminer should either Iabel its jokes or else prini an announcement on the title page that it is designed as a c daily and all its little fakes are in- ded to be humorous. The mining interests before the Legisla- ture are great and deserve careful consid- eration. The State owes much to this great industry and should do all in its power to repay the obligation. In eievating Mr. Perkins as a candidate for the Semate strictly on his sense of humor the Eraminer could hardly have been aware that it was presenting the public with & most pathetic picture. The Democratic organ of Senator Per- kins again asserted yesterday that severa! ocratic and Populist legislators d vote for that gentieman, but it may have been intended only as a witticism. The assertion of the Examiner that it is supporting Senator Perkins simply be- cause he has a better sense of humor than ang other candidate may have been in- tended after all asa joke on that gentle- man. It seems we are to infer from the Ezaminer of yesterday that “Long Green” Lawrence put up his gun-fighter us referee in the late boxing match simply as a joke on Fitzsimmons and to make game of the town. It will hardly be neeessary to inform Mr. Hearsv that the speech of Grove L. Johnson in the House of Representatives on Friday is regarded by tne people of California as a very good example of light aud agreeable humor. Honest Republicans in the Lesislature il not be bulldozed by charges of brib- ery asserted by a Democratic organ which is a self-acknowledged boodier and black- mailer. They will vote for the candidate of their choice and defy the slanderers. The Sacramento correspondent of the Ezaminer says that should any men enter the Senatorial race “with enough money to satisfy the wolves they might force an interesting contest even at this late day, the money feature predominating.” That is anotber joke g The assertion of Mr. Perking’ Demo- cratic organ that the chief qualification of a Uni‘ed States Senatorisa sense of humor implies an_inability on the part of that organ to distingwsh the difference be- tween the Senate and a circus. It doesn’t know a toga from a suit of motley. Loyal Republicans should carefully con- sider the tcctics of the opposing candi- dates for the senatorship. They should tuke note of which side isupholding the honor of the Republican party and which side 15 resorting to charges of bribery, to vilification, slander and the vulgarily of the slums. Samuel M. Shortridge has hired no boodle newspaper to slander his oppo- nents in the Senatorial contest. He has not maligned them nor even misrepre- sented them. He stands in this contest upon his own merits and has not found it neceseary to decry those of otler men in order to exait his own. If the Ezaminer bad any fact whatever upon which to Lase its assertions that money will win at Sacramerto, and that Republican legislators are waitine to be bribed, it would publish that fict and give it a page, a picture, a caricature, ten lurid headlines and forty fake attachments, There would be a sensation in it. It is conceded on all sides thatthe Legislature has begun its work with a degree of excellence which gives assur- ance of an economical and business-like session. The Senatorial contest has not been allowed to interfere “with other maiters and every duty of the first week of the session has beer accomplished with commendable prom ptness. A STRANGE OVERSIGHT. It is a most singular oversight on the part of the managers 6f Mr. Perkins that they have not produced b:fore the members of the Legislature tome evidence of his superior fitness for the office of United States Senator. Surely there must be an abundance of such material on hand and capable of immediate production to satisfy the inquiring minds of legislators upon this important point. The pages of the Congressional Record should fairly sparkle with gems of Mr. Per- kins’ eloguence expended in advocating the claims of Calitornia to recognition {among her sister States and which his managers at Sacramenio might proudly quote. Or they might point with equal priac to the San Francisco Postoffice or the Alviso harbor improvement, or the other large and important benefits which Mr. Perking’ efforts at Washington have conferred upon the State |of California. Or they might show that his influence with | the incoming administration was so potential that he couid secure from it all of the advantages for California which during his past official career he has notably failed to obtain or even to promote to a perceptible degree. Or they might demonstrate with what unselfish and whole-souled devotion he has labored to procure for his State ihe signal honor of a representation in the Cabinet of President McKinley. Or they might call attention to other striking and exceptional talents of Mr. Perkins, by the aid of which, even without eloguence or a large degree of effort to fur- ther the interests of California, he had been or would be able to impress the Nation with an admiration of his greatness, and thereby reflect honor upon and awaken pride in the State which is being asked to honor him with election to the high office of Uniled States Senator. The managers of Mr. Perkins havenot done any of these things, and for reasons which although best known to themselves are umot entirely unknown to the people of California or to the members of its present Legislature. Instead of putting forward Mr. Perkins as a candidate for Senator upon his merits they have preferred in making his fight for the place 10 use all the cunning devices and cheap tactics which small men in an unworthy By ex parte instructions; by an ineffectual and ridicu lous attempt to hold a caucus; by artful misrepresentations of | their own strength and less artful eIfgrls at concealment of the | growing strength of his oppoment; by enlisting the services of a notoriously Democratic newspaper; by putting Mr. Perkins up every aspiring patriot as ‘“a promising man”; by in- that any legislator who honestly ventured to vote for a worthy candidate for Senator would be smutted with the suggestion and by . ridicaling the idea that genunine merit and the of superior learning, eloquence and ability were to be con- sidered in the choice of a Senator, the managers of Mr. Perkins have thas far conducted his campaign. Isit surprising that the Republican members of the Legislature are becoming extremely restive under this sort of inducement to the election of Mr. Perkins, and that every indication of the week points toward an official expression of their disapproval of such methods when the time for the election of a Senator arrives? | cause are minded to employ. | disreputable close to sinuating most of bribery, possession A REPRESENTATIVE SENATOR. The whole people of California have the nght to be represented in the choice oi the United States Senator who is to succeed Senator Perkins. In this larger sense it is not a partisan matter, though Republican votes will undoubtedly elect him. Two essential elements of character are plainly paramount in guiding legislators to a wise decision. First in importance is the choice of a man who is a representa- tive of the whole people and not alone of the more favored ana prgsperous portion. Is Mr. Samuei M. Shortridge lacking or deficient in this essential qualification? sessing this special qualification ? The second essential consideration is that the man chosen shall possess unim- peachable integrity and known ability of a high order for the position. It has never been intimated in any quarter that Mr. Shortridge is not fully qualified to meet this requirement. THE CALL has no occasion to doubt the integrity of Senator Perkins; but it is not a trespass upon propriety to raise the question whether any supporter of Mr. Perkins believes he is a man of a high order of ability save only in accumulating a fortune. Reward for that order of ability is found in the fortune, not in a seat in the United States Senate; and yet we have seen Mr. Perkins hon- ored with such a seat for a time, short indeed, but quite long enough to satisfy Califorma. 1t is a matter of common knowledge and a serious cause of public disquietude that the corporations have altogether too many wealthy representatives of interests in the Unitea States Benate. California should not heedlessly provoke public resentment by returning Mr. Perkins to the Senate as the head of a power- ful and wealthy corporation to continue there for six years to represent the cor- porations of the State and not the great majority of the population. Ou the con- trary, the industrial and producing interests of the State, as well as the great busi- ness enterprises, would have in Mr. Samuel M. Shortridge ar equal and fair champion and protector, who would at once be accorded consideration and respect, and whose commanding abilities and force of character would win success for the cause he espoused. California is a great State with a National fame for measureless resources and vast enterprises. Common sense would dictate the election of a Sena- tor of masterful resources and abounding energy, somewhat commensurate with the State he is sent to represent. Little sagacity is needed to see the desperate straits into which men are driven who resort as their chief reliance to the use of personal ridicule and coarse cari- cature and intimations of bribery in order to defeat an opponent. Itis a sneaking confession of the weakness of their cause and of their underbred Instincts. And no one will be surprised that a charge of bribery or boodle should emanate from the Eraminer. Boodle is a potent argument with which it is unduly familiar if public no- toriety is any guide to its record. With no subtlety and with little skill it raises the cry of boodle to intimidate the nominal supporters o Mr. Perkins and frighten them from changing their vote to Mr. Shortridge. But a charge of venality made by the Eraminer will hardly deter men of true worth from dafying the in- famous charge and voting in harmony with their convictions in order to serve Who would think of Mr. George C. Perkins in looking over the State for a man pos- | | any accepted rule of political | solutely ineffectual unless it re- their | | “Go carly to brd and be earl; Senate. the State to their best ability by eleoting Mr. Samuel M.

Possibly, among other sala- cious matter of extra flavor, the speech has been held over for its Sumnday issue, where it will appear in full with appro- priate pictures of Mr. Hearst in his variety as described by Grove L. Johmson wupon the floor of the House. on ANOTHER TRICOK, ‘We were indebted Friday to the Sacra- mento correspondent of the San Fran- cisco Post for a 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 Capitol when the vote was taken. A further alleged revelation of their schemes was made yesterday by the correspondent of the Eraminer in the statement that pressure would be brought to bear unon one of the Populist Assem- blymen to compel him to vote for Per- kins. The scheme asserted by the Ezaminer correspondent can. be best stated in his own words. He says: It 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 Landsborough, the Stcramento Populist who is under arrest on s flack of fclony indictments, has been the target of some endeavor. Ex-Senator Frank Sprague is his attorney and is entirely willing tohelp the unfortunate Assembiyman in any way he can by a little political manipulation. So if any point in Landsborough’s favor can be worked by having him desert Cator and votg for a Republican, the point will undoubt- edly be scored. For a richt comprenension of these reveiations it must be borne in mind that the Post is for Perkins by insinuation ac- cording to its character, and the Ezaminer | according to its character js for him im- 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. It will be seen therefore that these statements ot the tricks contem- plated by the Perkins managers came from their iriends 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. It will be noted that' the Eraminer cor- respondent does not say that Lands- borough is to be forced to vote for Pe kins, but only that he is to bave the law “worked” in his favor if he will desert Cator and *‘vote for a Republican.” The correspondent evidently has not the same sense of humor possessed by others in the Ezaminer office, and suspects something of dishonar in this scheme to take ad- vantage of 2 man’s liability to the law.to force him to vote againsi his party. Had any of the friends of Mr. Shortridge de- vised this scheme the Ezaminer man would have named at onca the Republican for whom Landsborouzh’s vote was to be secured and would haye played it up as the big sensation of the first week of the legislative session. It is against tricks and schemes of the nature of those described by the Ezaminer and Post that Mr. Bhortridge has to make his contest. It seems incredible that a candidate for the United States Senate wonld resort to such efforts to defeat the will of his own party and procure an elec- tion by aid of certain weak men of other parties. THE CALL would never have as- serted such things of Senator Perkins. It does not believe now that he 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 fakers who have no more sense of honor in politics than in journalism. 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, “1 do not urge Mr. Morrissey for Congress because he is most fit, but 1 do assert that he has fit most.” The convention ap- plauded, the people approved ana Mr. Morrissey was duly elected. That declaration of the quality required in a candidate for Congress occupied a unique place in the annals of American politics until yesterday, when the Ezam- iner pronounced in fayor of Benator Per- 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 Ezaminer may not have meant it to be pointed. “It is undeniably true,” said the Eram- iner with a sudden burst of veracity into which it was betrayed by its eager pursuit of an unexpected bubble of wit, “it is un- deniably true that Mr. Shortridge is equipped with a character superior to self- ish and sordid interests, with learning in the broad sense of the term and with elo- quence which attracts the mind; heis also a fearless friend of justice, a 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 Ezaminer paused ana ceased to pursue the theme. It is feared the Ezaminer has itself no sense of humor, for otherwise it wonld not have ventured gravely and seriously to disturb the decent decorum and dignity of a legislative body deliberating with earnestness as befits statesmen the selec- tion of a representative of California in the United States Senate by intrading the argument .that he must hava a sense of humor. Neither is it likely that the Ez- aminer, had it possessed a true apprecia- ticn of the ludicrous, would have raised before public imagination a picture of its candidate, Mr. Perkins, perked upon a pinnacle of a keen sense of humor and claiming a 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- membrance that “Rare Old Be:n" 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 Fz- aminer even when it urges the nomina- tion of so mild-mannered and placid an old gentleman as Mr. Perkins to the United States Benate on the ground that he is frisky, frolicsome and agreeably humorous. It '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.”” It is clear, therefore, the Ezaminer's sense of humor is peculiar. Mr. Willie Hearst is evidently playing the part of the “Angry Boy.”’ THE opinions of Attorney- General Fitzgerald and Hon. J. C. Daly put a quietus upon the ridiculous eflort of Mr. Perkins’® managers to make the public as well as the Leg- islature believe that they held a caucus which, according to | usage, had either validity or| binding effect. Every effort to hold a caucus of the dominant party in the Legislature is ab- sults in the attendance thereat of a suflicient number of the | persons representing that par- ty to comstitute a majority of the entire Legislature. The pretended Perkins caucus did mot comsist of that number | and hence it was not a caucus at all.

I'spoke to tha yokel. still hoping to find ACCESSORIES TO DISHONOR. £an Franeisco Bulletin. B It has become apparent the hopes of the managers of the campaign of George C. Perkins for re-election to the United States Senate lie largely in the direction of securing the votes of Democrats in the Legislature for their candidate on Tuesday next. They hope, in return for the partisan advantage it will give the Demoeracy to have California and the Republican party misrepresented by a weak man, to persuade the Democratic leaders to become accessories to the most nefarfous bargain ever made in the history of Californis politics. It is at leastan open question whether any Democrat can afford to identify himself with this band of reckless conspirators ageinst the good name of the commonwealth. The vengeance of the people is not partisan. Democrat or Republican, it sirikes all alike who betray tbe interests of the masses. It is 8 wholesome fear of this avenging hand which holds many men of dishonest instincts to the courses of honor. But, sside from the fear of popular wrath, the Bulletin does not believe there is & Democrat in the Legislature so lost to all that makes men respectable and self-respecting as to yleld himself to the blandishments of this little coterie of schemers who have undertaken to achieve & temporary success at any price of future punishment. There are limitg even to political malevolence, and no political party was ever built up by the degradation of an opposing party which involved also the degradation of the State. The Per- kins managers have mistaken thetemper of the Democratic minority, asthey have mistaken the temper of the people of California, By their hopes and their fears they have been led astray. Mr. Perkins had and holds the " adyantage of a caucus nomination for the Senate, though it is the nomination of a caucus short of a sufficient number of votes on joint ballot to sccure his election. Thie open counting upon enough Democratic votes to win in lieu of the defection of Republicans is proof at once of their hopes and their fears. Republicans of Californis, what do you think of the fruitsof the glorious victory achieved in November? The spectacle of (he choice of ia Senator depend- ing for his election upon tne votes of Democratic members of the Legislature is assurediy an inspiration to renewed schievements in the line of party success. The Bulletin does not believe the Democrats will lend themselves to the success of this plot against the interest of the State to which all citizens are loyal. In the light of the appalling exposure of the political perfidy of Senator Perkins, they cannot afford todo it. Even in the lowest view, men who would so betray the State would be foredoomed to political death. All men, regardless of party, know that in no other way could Caltfornia’s interests be more cer tainly advanced than by the selection from the State of a member of MeKin- ley's Cabinet. All men, regardless of politics, know now that if Senator Per- kins has not spoiled the State’s chance of Cabinet representation he has contributed as powerfutly to that end as he could—and from the most selfish motive. Senator Perkins went to Washington pledged to the support of Waymire for, the Cablnet. Whatever he may say now, whatever the adroit gentlemen who are managing his fight may day now, that fs the fact. He went to Washington, also, with his election assured, but with a coward’s fear that the power of the Southera Pacific would be used against him. He was assured that this oprosition was rather an element of strength, put he had seen many men slaughtered by that influence, and he was afraid. All the greater Southern Pacific guns were at Washingion, hostile to California representation in the Cabinet, and hostile, above all, to Waymire. Heisan honest man, without even the taint of corporation infiuence. Itis be- cause he is an honest man California Republicans to a man ralifed to him when his name was mentioned in connmection with the Cabinet. Senator Perkins reached Washing- ton, where all of the Huntington force was gathered, and at once came his indorsement of Horace Davis, the introduction of an element of dis- cord where only harmony could win, and the betrayal of California’s interest, at least as far as George C. Perkins could betray it. Also, there came a cessation of whatever railrond opgosition there had been tojthe election of Perkins. The railroad organs and the rail- road men, big and little, are all for Perkins, They are hounding Republicans who dare oppose him, and cracking the whip over the backs of Democratic legislators whom they hope to reach through fear of railroad wrath, Whether the infamous bargain will be consummated rests altogether with the Legislature of California. For the credit, for the material interest of the State, it is to be hoped it is not yet too late to punish those who have dared to plot this treason. AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

E£T0CKTON, Cal., Jan. 8, 1897. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: I 1am not t0o late I would like 10 say to the law-making power now in session at Sacra- mento to give us a Republican for our next United States Senator. It is so long sifice out State has had one that our party would hail the glad tidings with untold joy. The present incumbent is anything but a Republican, & evidenced by the rotten Deémoeratic press now clamoring for iis re-election.

Esteo for & Cabinet position, al- though I frankly acknowiedge 1 do not like him personally; but right is rignt, and ii a lifelong devotion to the Republican party and {is attendant principles is a claim he certainly has got it, and it is ingratitude to ignore him at this time. Mr. Editor, the position of United States Senator carries with it peculiar fitness, allof which s embodied in the Hon. 5. M His voice in the halls of the Na- tionul Legislature would be of incalculubie benefit to_our glorious State, would solidify the Republican. party and redound 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 geutleman of like qualifica- tions, but by all means let-him be & Republi- can in every sense that the word implies, Yours very sincerely and respectfully, M. J. SULLIVAN.
