Burns boasted that | he had enough votes pledged to elect i i him at the extra calling it, some much needed legisla- tion. Dark Horse Won. At the regular session of the Legisla- ture, Burns wanted to have the Sena- torial question settled in a party eau- cus, because he felt sure that he could control the eaucus. Supporters of oth- er candidates refused to go into cau- cus, because none of the opposition enough to win the supportof a majority. At the extra session, however, the anti- Burns people got together and decided to accommodate the boss with a caucus. First they held a little caucus of their own and decided to unite their forces | millionaire. on one man who proved to be lon. |i se and Thomas R. Bard, a dark ho Southern Californian who had kept out of the fight up to thi total of 85 Republicans. Bard got all the rest, save two which went to U. 8. Grant. The Burnsites then made all sorts of dire threals and tried to bolt the caucus. They were going to form an alliance with the Democrats and Populists and elect a Democrat or Inde- pendent. Jesse Grant, youngest son of Gen. U. 8S. Grant, who iz a free silver Republican, was talked of as a candi- date on which the machine Republi- cans and other disaffected cle could unite, but a goodly number « spectable Democrats refused to enter such an unholy alliance and prom- ised to vote for Bard if such =a trick was attempted. Bard was assur- ed of 60 votes (suflicient to elect) on joint ballot, in any event, so no atten- tion was paid to the fumings of the de- feated Danites. Seeing that they were by such tacties, they pulled themselves together and madz a show of submis- sion to the will of the majority, with the best possible grace. The result |, was that Bard received all of the 85 | Republican votes on the first joint bal- | lot taken in the Legislature, and thus the extra session which was called ex- pressly to elect Dan Burns, the Matt Quay of California, resulted in a glori- ous triumph for clean politics and has redeemed the State of California to the Republican party which was doomed to sure defeat in the coming presidential election, under boss rule. There is great rejoice over the happy outcome of the long and bitter struggle. That is why we are willing to lend our recipe for making a throughout the State United States Senator, to Pennsyl- vania. Hails Froin Pennsylvania. Another thing which affords the writ- r satisfaction over the outcome of the Senatorial fight, is the fact that the new Senator, like himself, hails from the old Keystone State,being a native of Chambersburg. His father was a prom- inent member of the I'ranklin ®ounty bar, and young Bard was also intended for the law, but at the age of 18, his health being delicate, he decided upon following outdoor pursuits, so he be- came a civil engineer. At the age of 20 he was made superintendent of the Cumberland Valley railroad, with headquarters at Hagerstown, Md. Young as he was he took an active part in Western Maryland polities duar- ing the civil war, and helped to keep the State in the Union. He also en- listed as a scout and performed valiant service for his ceuntry, when the Con- federates were overrunning Western Maryland and the adjoining counties of Pennsylvania. At the close of the civil war Col. Tom Scott, then superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad and assistant Secretary of War, chose young Bard, then only 24 years old, to go to Cali- fornia as manager for a syndicate which had invested heavily in Bard established himself at Huenconi (pronounced Wy-na-me) Ventura coun- ty, Cal.,, where he has since remained and amassed a large fortune through oil operations, farming and merchan- dising. He married in this state and has reared an interesting family. Al- though not a politician or oflice-seeker, he has repeatedly been sent as dele- gate to state and nationol eonventions, and in 1892 he was the only Republican presidential elector in the State who s not a blot or blemish to his name. Ilis election to the Senate did not cost him a dollar, and no man has ever gone te Washing- ton with greater confidence reposed in him for ability and integrity than this was not defeated. There son of Pennsylvania. He INnows Beans. Senator Bard is not an orator nor a man of such brilliant intellectual at- tainments as some of our Massachusetts Senators, perhaps, but he knows beans, and that is no joke, for he raises them for the Bostoners to eat. Bard and beans are closely associated, for Ven- tura county whieh he claims as his home, although he has a fine residence in this city, raises more beans than all the rest of the United States together. The bean industry is conducted there on a larger scale than elsewhere in the e is a small strip of level land, about twenty miles long and from two to six or eight miles wide, | along the Ventura coast which, com- bined with the climate, is especially { adapted to bean culture, and here are produced beans of a quality and quan- tity not to be excelled anywhere in the wide world.
