Swift Eebukes q "Too Fresh, Dereo
cratic Orator.
| VIsALIA, October 1st-Hon. John Z
| Swift, W. H. II. Hart nominee for Attor
ney-GeneraD and Oregon Sanders spoke
| here to-nig ght to the largest meeting that
has been held in Visaha this year, and by
far the most enthusiastic. The hall was
well filled before the meeting commenced
| Among the audience was large number
| of ladies. Mr.. Swift alluded to the sneer-
ing remarks by Mr.. Lynch, the Democratic
nominee for Congress, regarding the ad-
vanced years OF his opponent, General
| Vandever, and regretted he considered ii
necessary to scof at the age and gray hairs
| of one whose life had been devoted to the
service of his country. He paid his respects
also to W. r. Jacobs, who, in his speech
here last night, likewise referred to the
great age of General Vandever and his al
| legged swinging of the bloody shirt. He
| Swift said that it was not an easy matter
for old veterans who had fought the bat
ties of their country to forget the time
when the nation was assailed by traitors,
and spoke in the highest terms of one who
had resigned his seat in Congress to enter
| the army-as the General did-when the
| foolish boy, who now makes sport of his
gray hairs, was in his cradle. Touch
ing upon State issues, he paid par
ticular attention to the irrigation ques-
ton. He had devoted many years to
a study of the matter, and had been several
years an attorney in an important law case
in which the water question was involved.
The result of the suit was a decision declar-
ing the sole right to recover compensation
for water to be a franchise, and the present
clause in the Constitution settling that doc
| trine was drawn by himself. The time has
come, he said, when it is necessasy to have
a system of irrigation laws necessary for
our peculiar climate and physical condi-
| tions. 1t is matter of paramount import
ance to all the people OF the State, one that
demands speedy solution and one which
will advance the interests of the great agri-
cultural sections of the interior. His
speech was well received by the audience,
and was repeatedly applauded.
