The American party in California cast
at the recent election 500 votes. It select.
old parties, and without money, press, or.
ganization, or party machinery, managed
to beat almost every man on the two
tickets not in sympathy with it. In the
matter Of one nomination, that for Su.
preme Judge, its candidate patterson, on
the Republican and American tickets) beat
his opponent by over seven thousand votes,
Notwithstanding the fact that the latter
was supported by the Democrats, Labor
party and the entire Roman Catholic cler.
gy Of San Francisco. Ye politicians, look
out for the American idea in the future of
American politics!
The Dillon tribune., 1886-11-19

The New York Labor Union has issued
an address advising the associations of la
boring men throughout the country to unite
and form national party upon principles
as advocated by Henry George and upon
which he received the big vote Of IS 900 as
candidate for the mayoralty Of New York.
There is no doubt that the labor vote will be
an influential factor in the next presiden.
tial election, and the statesmen Of the
country should make just concessions to
laborers. But in the matter of forming a
new party, the workingmen should go
slow and not permit themselves to be in
toxicated by the almost victory won BY
Henry George. The circumstances under
which George ran are different from those
under which president Of the United
States would be elected. There is no 9th.
err city in the Union so corrupt, and with
SO many paupers, foreigners, socialists,
anarchists and other discontents as New
York. The great majority Of the home.
loving people of this country believe in
few ofshe vagaries Of Henry George, and
when any class OF citizens make, fight
against the homes, it will be buried so deep
as to be resurrected never.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR.

In New York at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning passed away noble soul--Ches.
ter A. Arthur, ex President Of these United
States. He will be remembered chiefly
for his fidelity to his trusts as the chief
magistrate OF the Nation. Becoming Pres.
ident at time Of high excitement, ofgreat
party discussions, and Of popular suspic.
ion, he was yet conscientious and firm
enough to restore the peoples trust in pop.
ular government, by an unyielding resist.
ance to the selfish demands Of partisans
for whom he had strong personal attach.
ments, and to whom he was under politi.
cal obligations. But his duty to his coun'
try, with him, outweighed any personal
considerations, and with clear mind and
answering purpose, he guided the ship Of
state safely past the rocks snd shoals Of a
perilous political sea. He placed the civil
service on sure footing, and Of that rare
temperament that recks not of the plaudits
Of the crowd, he performed his duty quiet.
ly with no view to his own future political
interests. He will pass into history as a
high toned, conservative executive, the sum
Of whose quiet and unobtrusive official
acts made one Of the best and purest Ad.
ministrations with which this nation has
ever been blessed.

This is the way Frank Pixley Of the San
Francisco Argo.aat speaks Of the new
American party: To US it seems healthy
male child and born with teeth; like Rich.
ard, it was somewhat untimely ripped from
its mothers womb, but it looks to us like a
healthy, robust infant; it stood strong
enough on it's three-weeks' legs to walk into
the political arena among the old and tried
warriors OF the republican party. It went
into its combat without shield, or helmet
or vizor, and touched with its sword OF
naked truth the armed Achilles OF both
parties. The young David with its stone
and sling struck the Philistian Goliahs in
the front till they reeled and :oppled, till
they turned pale and lied. till press and
orators resorted to every base and coward
device to break the force of the fearful on.
slaught.

Cold weather has struck US, and hit us
