you should have now for yourselves and
your children, and what is worse given
them to combinations of corporate
power that would be your masters.
Look at the United States territory.
BY what party was this vast domain ac.
quired? 1t was acquired by the Demo.
cratic party Or under a Democratic ad.
ministration. While we acquired the
lands the Republican party has bartered
them away for political favors and the
patronage OF wealthy corporations and
through corruption that would bring
the blush to an honest man If their
schemes were laid bare. What does
the Democratic party propose to do?
They will carry out their pledges TO the
people in this campaign though the
heavens tall. The Democratic party,
gentlemen, propose to get back some of
these lands fraudulently obtained from
you. The Republican party gave you Ia
the person of James e.. Blaine pro-
Chinese candidate. III he should finally
settle down 1t would be a good plan to
move lot of Chinese people around him
as noighbors and associates. One Of the
finest compliments to the Democracy of
this district Is the scare the Republicans
have Of my being elected TO Congress.
They are badly worried. They instruct
their lieutenants to center their
forces on the Sixth District,
which l consider quite compliment.

say, further than, when man becomes
a candidate for public position he must
have some claim Of fitness for tho posi-

for myself, as most OF you know, you
elected me to the Legislature in 1880
and to the Senate in 1882. While Rep

times, and there is not one vote | would
now recall or take back. What kind of
people or State is this that wants
man for Congress who has
lived here five years and has
only lately been entitled to vote by
being placed on the Great Register. A
Republican paper in this district, speak
ing Of Del Vale for Congress, says he is
only five feet six inches in height, and
only weighs ITO pounds. Gentlemen,
before get through with them in this
campaign they will think l weigh 200
pounds. They claimed Colonel Mark
ham served his country as soldier, and
| honor him for it. They also say he is
miner. There are thousands OF men in
this country who have all these quail
iications, but few Of them ever aspire to
Congress on these claims. l confess 1
am ambitious to go to Congress from this
district, and l believe my experience in
legislation will enable me to be of service
to my country and constituents.
