M.F. TARPEY.
Cand, date for Lieutenant. Governor Mr..
Tarpey is from Alameda county, where he
has resided for good many years He is
in the very prime of life. Of medium height,
OF full, although not of anything like
heavy habit of physique. On his square,
broad shoulders is set round, large and
shapely head. His face, which is smoothly
shaven, save for close, dark moustache, is
impressive IN its every feature, with all the
Indicia of mind and character.
Stepping before the people, he said in sub,
stance: Fellow citizens, three years ago
had the pleasure to pass through your city.
then handsome town Of great promise. l
| see i today a metropolitan city OF really
inhabitants. 1 rejoice to see this young rival
TO San Francisco springing up here in the
Southern part Of the State.
But came here to discuss political, not
mercantile, matters before you. want to
show you, if can. why the Democratic
party, as l think, will be successful In
this campaign-why 1 know that party
ought to be successful 1t Is because, In
ter platform and better ticket. A plat
form should be declaration of principles
BY which the party Is willing to abide. The
Republican platform is not an embodiment
Of principles. but, of expediencies. They
VIII not carry out single promise they are
ks to the people. In 1882 they came
e!e the peOple-But. here let me di-
Eress. Their candidates are doing just as
The platform did. They are going round the
eountry uttering a lot Of flowers of
rhetoric rs devoid OF meaning or sincerity
As their platform is they ,a distaln to op sto9p

heard of one of their speakers who got

Democrats met at San Jose and made plat

riumphantly elected. We got 1000 ahead

hey deliberately turned in and elected Le-

place in that position the very head and
ront OF corporate monopoly. Was that In

on this point want to say: 1t has became
fashionable for some people to go about the
ountry and represent the pemocrauc par
Il property. This statement could eninate
MY from the Uriah Heaps OF politics. The
Democratic party has no quarrel with any
be laws of the State. But when any corpo-
alton maintains a Political bureau to go
bout the State corrupting voters and legis-
ktors, when 1t refuses to pay It's Just share
