LAND MONOPOLY.
Tho Republican Candidate for Gov.
ernOr gives his Views on
the Great EVIL.

The editor of the Sacramento Bee, an
earnest and consistent opponent Of Land
Monopoly, recently wrote to Hon. Geo.
q. Perkins for an expression OF his opin-
ion concerning that Giant Evil aud re-
ceived the following satisfactory response:
SAN Francisco. July IL, 1879.
JAS. MCCLATCHY. ESQ.,, Sacramento
Dear Sir: Your kind favor of the Sd in
slant at hand. and your remarks have my
careful attention. Permit me to thanl;
you for the interest you take in my sue
cess and that Of the Republican party. In
regard to my views on land monopoly,
they are substantially the same rs your
own as expressed in yours before me. !
believe it is the greatest barrier to the
progress Of our State. 1t is relic of the
old Feudal system that should have been
abolished when barbarism and despotism
gave way to progress and civilization. Iii:
the prolific cause in other countries, as
well as in this State, Of dissatisfaction
disturbances, distress, oppression and
not infrequentiy Of murder itself. / am
just as much opposed to agrarianism
however, as am to land monopoly. |
do not believe in coniscation under any
circumstances. But / believe in Sc
framing the laws that land monopolsts
will find it more profitable to cut theii
estates up into small farms than they will
to hold them themselves for speculative OF
other purposes. The new Constitution
aims to accomplish this result. 1t is one
of the best among many very excellent
provisions in that instrument Whoever
may he elected to office, trust the OBJ
ject aimed at will be carried into effect
1t will undoubtedly be one of the greatest
blessings, as land monopoly has been and
s one Of the greatest evils that has ever
befalen the State. Whenever this is ae-
complshed. / believe California will
prosper aS France has prospered more
so, for this State Is far ahead of France,
as well in ths greater fertility and more
varied production OF its soil as in its gem
iality of climate.
In regard to the result Of the coming
election. feel confident that the Repub-
ican ticket will receive q majority oil
votes over all others combined. 1t has
the confidence of not only Republicans
but Of the best men Of all parties. | be-
ieve the people are willing to and will
trust the destinies ofthe State in the
hands Of the men named on the Republi
can ticket. Sincerely yours,
Gee. G. PERKINS.

THE Chico Record having charged
Gen. E. j. Lewis. the r.. X. Attorney,
with supporting George G. Perkins for
Governor, General Lewis addressed the
following note to the editor of the Re.
cord:
81 have no recollection of ever think
ing Of, or saying such thing, but |
have said and repeat it, thGt know Mr..
Perkins, and that know him to be an
honest man, and that he would not, and
could not do dishonest or dishonorable
act, Notwithstanding your assertions on
the contrary. You doubtless judge him
by yourself.
From the first | have been in favor OF
Dr.. Glenn for Governor, and that before
any nominations were made. and ii had
been allowed the privilege of naming II
Governor for this State, | should without
hesitation have nominated DR.. Glenn.
Yet becauae | am for Dir. Glenn do not
think it is my duty to fellow your exam
pie and villity and lie about an old neigh
Dor as you have about Mr.. Perkins. You
have known him for twenty years, and
have been his near neighb0r for nearly
that length Of time, and you know that he
Is honest, but that the exquisite luxury
to you of lying about man is so deli
! cions that the poorest and most honorable
must become your victims.p

SENATOR BooTH ON THE PRESIDENCY.
Senator Booth arrived in Sacramento
last week from the East and was inter
tervlewed by Bee reporter, wno gives
his opinions in reference TO the next
Pres idency. The Senator favors the
nomination of Blaine for his noble stand
an the Chinese question, and thinks
Grant will not accept the nomination un-
less given by acclamation, which Sher-
mans friends will not agree to, even
II Blaine should in which event
Grants friends will support Blaine in
preference to Sherman. Booth thinks if
Ewing carries Ohio, and the Nationals
win in Maine, that Ewing will be the
Democratic nominee, but believes the
Republicans will certainly carry Maine.
The probable reason for abandoning TIL
den Is because tho Democracy scarcely
hope to carry New York, and without
the Empire State there is no Tlden can
didaey. The Greenbackers are also de-
term ined to make fight. believing they
can carry few States both North and
South, and hold the balance of power in
the Electoral College. IfTilden should
run there is no show of seeing the Green
back affilIation, and if Ewing is Derao,
cratic candidate, he will lose the support
Of the hard money Democrats. The
Democratic Presidential candidate wants

THE fact that Mr.. Perkins, as State
Senator, voted against subsidy TO the
railroad in this part of the State, when
he had no particular personal interes:
here, and when vote IN the Senate had
money value of moment to the railroad
company, should be at once valid and
sufficient answer to all charges respecting
his railroad procliv tiles; and is, as has
been said, also deemed a conclusive
answer to the charge that Geo. G. Per-
kins is at the head of an oppressive
monopoly, that of the 65 votes cast in the
