BEWARE OF THE ELEVENTH HOUR LIE.

But one week will intervene before the
national election. In that time we may
look for outrageous lies, eunningly devised
stories, and damaging libels to be put
afoat. They may come from either side;
they are more likely to be born of Demo-
cratic chicane, since that cause has most
need of bolstering. The safe thing to do
will be to believe no new charges made.
against candidates, no matter how plaus-
able they may appear. Nothing new can
be projected into the campaign after this
day, affecting the personality of the can
didates, that viii be worthy the consider
alton of any self-respeeting citizen for a
moment. 1t will be simple wisdom from
this time forward to receive all new
charges as utterly false. There is not
time sufficient left for the candidates to re-
ply to such new charges, and it would be
manifestly unjust to expect it of them.
Americans love fair play; let them prove
true to it now. But the Burchards also
are very likely to develop .&song with
other cranks, and by their "tom-fsol express
sion" seek to involve the candidates. while
the campaign liar will certainly get in his
eleventh hour effects. 1t will be the posi-
tive duty of voters therefore to hold them
selves above any possible influence these
classes of wreckers may eudeavor ta exert.

TIE CONGRESSIONAL TICKET

Ia the heat Of the contest ever the Pres
idential Office and the issue made between
protection and free trade, let voters not
lose sight of the Importance of eleeting
the Republican Congressional ticket.
There should be no trading of candidates
by voters, or bargaining against the strength
of Joseph McKenna. He is, we believe.
certain to be elected, but that belief should
not cause any relaxation of effort in behalf
of the McKenna ticket. California must
have solid Republican delegation in the
House. It is possible of achievement, but
it is necessary that in every district friends
of the Republican ticket shall exert them
selves to see that their Congressional NOM
inees receive the benefit of the full party
strength, and as much more as can be hon.
orably obtained for them. In this district
the people are Represented by a gentleman
who is candidate for reelection. He
has been a true and faithful Representa-
tive, tireless in discharge of duty, capable
in all he undertook, Gle ,r-headed and
steady minded. He is a well-infsrmed
and studious man, has acquired skill
added to native ability, as legislator; is
scrupuiously honest, is energetic, watch
fall of local interests and makes no pledges
that he is not able 10 keep He must be
ret irned to his seat.

NO ASSAULT UPON ENGLIsH-AMERI
CANS

The San Francisco Aitc says certain
newspapers supporting Harrison and Nor
ton are charging american citizens of
English BIRTH with secretly l,arboring the
traitorous desire TO vote in the interest of
their native land in preference 10 voting
for the interests of their adopted country"
If any papers have laid that charge, they
have permitted their partisanship to lead
their judgments astray. The RECORD
UNION on the first appearance of the Sack
vile West letter, expressed itself IL these
words: " Unless we greatly underestimate
the good sense and the results of the ex-
perience of the English in America who
have renowned allegiance to her Males
tvs Government they do not propose to
vote for that condition of things here which
drove them from England to America to
better their condition. When English
immigration turns backward, and flows
from America to England, Republicans
may lose hope in the naturalized citizen of
English nativity, but not until them
The truth is that the naturalized English
citizens of the United States, to the extent
of eight-tenths of the whole number are
opposed to the English policy of free trade,
and support the American protective sys-
tenn. They came to America to better
their condition, and as a rule they HAYES sue
ceeded, very few indeed becoming dissatis-
fed with American conditions. As rule
too, without any loss of that regard for the
land OF ones nativity natural and COM
mendable in all, the English-AmerIcani
are not in harmony with the policy of the
English Government toward Ireland, bu
entertain sentiments favoring the home
rule policy.
1t is thus seen that the assumption is ;
violent and untenable one that the
nativity of the English-American circum
scribes and controls his views of economi,
and political questions. If any journal
have proceeded to arraign EngIishmen IL
America as Of necessity or largely tn,
partisans of the mother country in any issu,
between England and America, they ar
mistaken and misiniormed. Such cases O
antagonism of these citizens to thei
adopted land are SO rare as to be notabl,
exceptions.

THE RAILROAD KEN TO HARRISON.


The railroad men who have been In
clined to give some credit to the infamous
lies circulated about General Harrison in
connection with the railroad strike of 1877
at Indianapolis ought to be satisfied now
of the utter mendacity of the story. For
here we have several thousands OF railroad
men of Indiana, where General Harrison
Is best known, gathering at Indianapo-
lis on the 18th inst. and paying the Cen
eral the courtesy Of salutes, serenades and
a reception. If General Harrison had
ever used the language attributed to him
by Gould, the Anarchist, does any one sup
pose that the railroad men Of the Hoosier
State would do the General honor? If
the railroad employees in Indiana, which is
gridironed with lines, do not know the
truth about the miserable story circulated
against General Harrison, who does The
truth is that it is only outside Of the
Hoosier State that the libel is even treated
with a hearing.
IL DeiSiJ ~ lilc llDel, OEle1dl
Harrison in his speech simply said to the
railroad men:
Very early IL the campaign there were those
who sought TO make breach between me and
you. You did not wait for my answer, but made
answer yourself and time and again have wit
messed your faith that my disposition toward
the men who toll for a living was one of fond
ness, and that the principles ! represented and
have always advocated were those that pro-
NOTED the true interests of the workingmen of
America / have always believed and held
that the prosperity of the country and the per-
maneney of its institutions and social order all
depended upon our pursuing such policy in
our legislation that we should in America al
ways have workingmen earning adequate
wages, that would bring comfort into their
homes and maintain hope in their hearts.
Throughout these remarks and those
that followed the applause and cheering
were something extraordinary 1t is evil
dent that the strike libel is now dead. We
may expect the Democracy, however, tc
cook up something else just at the close Of
the campaign, in desperate effort 10 save
situation that is against them.

q couNrER MOVE,


This mornings dispatches relate that
some Southern Congressman prophecies
that President Cleveland will in few
days convince the country that he is not
insincere in the matter of retaliatory ac-
ton against Canada that Mr.. Cleveland
will astonish the nation between this and
election by action in the premises that will
fix the attention of all the people upon
him. Probably for Mr.. Cleveland is hard
pushed and must do something to offset
the effect of Minister Vests letter. We
may therefore hold ourselves in readiness
for "stroke" of political cunning on the
part of the Administration. But coming
at this time it viii deceive no one. 1t will
be bid for votes-just that and nothing
more.
