votes than the Workingmen's can
didate.
The truth is that Wallace Leach
is making q splendid canvass of
this district. He is eloquent and
magnetic, and makes votes
wherever he goes. The sneer that
he will not run well in his own
county will be met by a splendid
and endorsing vote. With one or
two exceptions, he is the best talker
who is travelling California to. day.
He is young and popular; and, if
Mr.. Ayers should retire from los
ing candidacy, there would not be
a grease spot left of Pacheco. Leach
is really fanatically anti-monop-
oily. His voice has always been
raised for competition and for Tom
Scott, and it is not a graceful
thing for Col. Ayers's organ to ig-
more and falsify this fact.
Wherever Wallace Leach has
gone we find the most gratifying
notes of the enthusiasm he evokes.
Day before yesterday we published
extracts from Visalia paper
chronicling his triumphant pro-
gress. To-day we reproduce the
following from the Tulare Times:
Wallace Leach is making one of
the best records ever made by
candidate for Congress, He suits
the people and the reports from
the nineteen counties indicate his
election by large majority. The
railroad company are transporting
their dupes into San Diego county
in order to defeat him in his own
county, which will give him
rousing majority, even with this
opposition. Republicans, Work
ingmen and Constitutionalists are
standing shoulder to shoulder with
Leach in his own county. This
proves the worth of the man and
his election is assured. Tulare will
give him at least eight hundred
majority.
In the interest of the Democratic
party to-day there is really but one
necessity, viz, that Col. Ayers
should leave the field to Leach,
with the inevitable result Of the
defeat Of Pacheco. The Tulare
Times puts the question well thus:
j. J. Doyle, who claims TO be
Democrat, but Is one OF the Work.
ingmen's Congressional Commit
tee, visited Los Angeles this week
aud handed us the following as the
result of the com mittee meeting:
"kesolve , That the pledge required by
the Workingmen or Its candidates hat
they would not affiliate with any other
party be revoked and recalled"
This pledge is revoked only by
the Fourth Congressional district,
and was, doubtless, accomplished
for the purpose of giving Mr.. J J.
Ayers an opportunity to affiliate
with the Democratic party. 1t was
useless, however, as Mr.. Ayers will
never have the chance to affiliate
with any party in Congress. Mr..
Wallace Leach is the next Con-
gresham, and if Mr.. Ayers was a
true Democrat, as he has always
elaine ed to be, he would not stand
in the way of the Democratic nom-
inee. He, by remaining in the
field, materially assists the election
of "Pat.checo," who is the hireliDg
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
La Gdceta, a Spanish paper pub
lished in Santa Barbara, puts the
matter thus:
1--WE are emphatic in our advo-
'cacy of the candidature of Wal
'lace Leach for Congress in this
"district. We take this attitude
"because, amongst other reasons,
"Mr. Leach represents the prlnci-
"ples of the Democrats, liberals
"and anti-monopolists, as antago-
"nized to Romualdo Pacheco, who
"represents the ideas and politics
''of the radicals, centrallsts and
"monopolists. Pacheco,' during his
"whole political career, has served,
"with his vote and his good offices,
"the Central and Southern Pacific
"Railways; and we do not doubt
"but that, in the event of his elec-
"tion, he will continue obedient to
"the orders of Stanford, Crocker &
"Co., in Washington, exactly as he
"has done in the past in Sacra.
"mento.n
La Gaceta, from which We trans
late, further says: "Wallace Leach,
"the candidate for Congress from
"this district, is young lawyer OF
"San Diego, where he has lived
"mapy years, being a legitimate
PRESIDENT of this district. Accord
Sing to our informants, in all places
"where he has spoken during the
"present campaign, he has been
swell received"
There is neither generosity mol
dslicacy on the part of the Express
in trying to belittle this able
young man, who seems to be car
ried on a perfect groundswell ol
popular appreciation TO the next
Congress.
