Mr.. Potts said that no merely arose to call

effect that some of the clerks in his Office
were receiving double pay. lie heard that
a "hired howler" Of the name Of Kelly was

disposed to the fair thing they would come
to his office and examine the records, which
were open to inspection. The truth Of the
double salary Is as follows; Last February
n new Great Register was ordered and the
Board of Supervisors authorized the employ

Potts clerks agreed to put In time at
night and on Sundays on the
Register They did so and were paid for
their extra labor As to the Abe Norton af-
fair: Norton was elected engrossing clerk in
the Legislature and during his absence

been anything wrong in the Clerks office,

The Chairman then introduced to the
crowd which had grown to'huge proportion

Mr.. White proceeded to make logic II

paper printed two years ago, in which
Blaine was soundly scored, on the occasion
Of his being asked to preside at a St
Patrick's Day celebration, for his desertinn
of Macsweeney and o Connor when they
languished in English jails, Then Ford and
his paper had no language strong enough To
characterize the recrenncy of Blaine MS Mr..
Gnrfelds Secretary of State. The change
was ascribcd, and doubtless correctly, to the
potency of Republican coin.
The next most striking portion uf Mr..
Whites speech related to the Congressional
fight. He held up col. Markham as the rail
way candidate, as II new conner and as a
man who desired to make his canvass sue.
cessful through the force of money lie
paid n striking tribute TO the character aud
the candidacy of MIR. Del Vale. lie pictured
the young and eloquent Senator from Los
Angeles MS devoted to the interests of this
section and of the people at large, and as a
determined opponent OF the insolent railway
power. In the course Of his remarks he re
ferred To the opposition 10 Mr. Del Vale OF
the editor OF La trOHicd, and grouped
that individual under the category Of cattle.
He said that his modus operandi was to go
to n candidate and demand n hundred dol.
lars for his support, and that failing this
guerdun he brought his literary batteries Ia
assessed. In the ease of this individual the
circumstances were especially atrncious.
He had been educated by Mr.. Del Nallc's
father. He had sat at his table, had received
the boon of his friendship and had repaid
the obligation by specially trcachcrous at

The Chairman then introduced Col God

trade laws. There is really no tariff lssuei in
this campaign. Both parties are divided be
tween free trade and protection. The New
York Sun and Chicago Tribune are both sup
porting Blaine and are strong free trade or
gans. Free trade is now In operation between
this country and the Sandwich Islands aud
with Mexico, and this free trade relation was
given to the United States by n Republican
President and Senate This brings these two
countries into direct competition with our
products The Republican orators, however,
do not refer to these free trade relations in
favor OF q reduction Of the tariff, and Il may
well be when there are overS2O0, 600 900 lying
idle in the treasury. For instance, n reduc,
tfon of the tariff on iron would only reduce
the profits of the capitalists and not hurt
the laborers any. 1t would also enable the
farmers to purchase agricultural imple-
ments at cheaper rate. The tariff on salt
and lumber should also be reduced. There
was nothing in the Morrison bill reducing
the tariff on brandy or winc or anything

Look what James e. Blaine has done for
the State of his adoption! In Maine the peo-
pie used to drink good old Medford rum and
they lived to be from eighty to hundred
years old They were prosperous, happy
and contented. The sound of the hammer
was heard in the land and Maine built ships
ploughed the sea. The State steadily in
creased in population and wealth In an evil
hour in 1888 Blaine came to the State and ed
tied Know Nothing pUpor In conjunction
with Neal Dow, he got up aud had passed
the Maine prohibition law and abolished the
rum. Then hard times began The Demo
cratic heart had to be warmed, SO the Re
publicans got up NillainouS drink called
whisky, gave i to the Democrats and il pot
ran away. This left nobody in Maine but
long-haired men and short-haircd women,
and this accounts for Blaine's late majority
in that State.

The national banking system is one of the
