The Democratic Party In Good N

tee, says;
"The national Democratic party will 90
into the campaign in excellent shape. Tie
proceedings of the Chicago convention did
not elevate Republican party before the peo.
pie of the country, and that party added
nothing to its reputation by the outcome.
Harrison is an aristocrat and weak man,
and all the arguments and statements in the
country will not disprove that fact. His
Chinese record will be dose for California.
The Republican platform, in language that
cannot be misunderstood, takes ground in
opposition to the reduction of taxes where
they are burden upon the people. The
State campaign headquarters will be opened
on August /.

The taxation of luxuries, said President
Cleveland in his famous tariff message, pre-
sents no features of hardship; but the neces.
saries of life used and consumed by all the
people, the duty upon which adds to the
cost of living in every home should be great
Iy cheapened. The radical reduction of the
duties imposed upon raw material used in
