[271 Starr King in Californu The first man to challenge the almost solid cohorts of pro-slavery Democracy in Cali- fornia was David C. Broderick, United States Senator from 1857 until his untimely death in 1859. Broderick was the son of a stone cutter and in early life followed his father's trade. Bom in Washington, D. C, he grew to manhood in New York City. When only twenty-six years old he became "Tammany's candidate for Congress." He was defeated and in June, 1849, he too arrived in San Fran...- cisco, determined never to return East unless as United States Senator. Plunging into the political life of the state as a loyal Democrat he\ was sent almost at once to the l^slature in Sacramento, where he speedily became an influential member. In 1851 he was made presiding officer of the Senate and by 1852 his leadership within the State was so firmly established that it was said of him ''he is the Democratic Party of California." January 10, 1857, after years of bitter struggle, Brod- erick was elected United States Senator, and the following March was duly received as a member of that august body.
