it well the Depew men were disappointed !
but soon fell in finely. The impression |
got while in the East was that Harrison |
and Morton are growing hourly, and espe-
cially is this true in New York. The tariff
question is much discussed, and the Repub-
licans appeared to me to be getting the best
of it.
SAMUEL BLAIR.
Yes. am candidate for Supervie n, In
the Third District, ana also have a NJ, in
terest in the success OF the Rev ,,t2ican
party. think that the Repub' .irsns are
going to win this fall. They Ger ts;nIv will
II they stand together, and Il Iev will do
that If there is square de- Al at the nri-
mary and in selecting cane dSates. If we
cannot have fairness and ,rooeed nv legal
methods in politics. then It Is only a ones.
ton OF time before we wi IL hsve no politics
at least under repub' lean form of gov
eminent. The puri' ~ of the ballot
box and the me hhinery connected
with the exercise Of the elective fran
chlse, IS the OF .iy safeguard of cur
form of govern aent. The people of
Sacramento hav recently shown that
they nave no sy apathy, no patience, with
election frauds, and that they will not toll
crate them. Let every man vote as he
wishes to, W ithont outside interference,
and when air expression of the will of
the people has been reached, they will
abide by t'le result. The Republican party
must see, however, that every man is pro-
tected IN the freedom and sacredness of his
ballot, md we must not condem ballot.box
crimes IN the Southern States, and permit
| them 10 be perpetrated here.

l meet about as many people as the most
OF men, and | see that Harrison and Nor
on are on the steady gain. The ticket is
| growing in strength, and is to win, if the
i, expression of the people is any index.
believe we Will carry Sacramento county
by very large majority. AS to local
troubles they do not amount TO much. Ii
the other side had control of the machinery
| they'd do that they complained of against
the Others. l do not know that anything
wrong has been done. SO far as | am con-
cerned. there shall be fair deal in the
First Ward. | don't believe in any other
than fair and square primary election of
the party, and | think it's going to be had.
JOHN RIDER.
OF course We can carry Sacramento
county by big majority General Harri-
son IS growing stronger with the people
meet, all the time. They can't assail the
nominee. He has done nothing that does
not do him honor. As to local politics,
tneTe Is IrouOle because the appOrtlOnment
IS unequal, unfair; one thing for one
ward and different basis for another.
The people want square deal in the
Third Ward. Under present arrangements
we can't get ii because the First Ward will
get more delegates than it ought to have.
and our ward will get less than it is entitled
to- And the thing is, that the extra dele
gates the First gets are given on the basis of
voters of the Third Ward. We ought TO
have forty delegates from the Third. The
people won't stand these tricks much
longer. l hear lots of men talking every
day and they are dissatisfied with the COM
mittee management That arportionment
for the Third Ward is & rascally piece of
business, but suppose if we get beaten at
the primary we'll have to stand and take
