Huntington LETT this civ Friday
night for San Francisco and will
not return until after the general
election Hio departure, follow
ing SO soon after that Of Leland
Starford, gives more confirmation
10 the reports of conf ct be tween
Tue capitalists, and il Is expected |
that the fight will include the con.
test for the control OF the South
ern Pacific Company.
Reports are current that Leland |
Stamford and the Croker inter
ests have joined hands. and that |
Vice President Crucker wishes to |
take tie Office of the presidency |
H. place " MI. Huntington.
The fact Of the matter is that
for yehls past Leland Stanford
has been presented to the people
of California, in the character of
the Patron Saint OF the State with
a fine large halo about his head.
He WAS supposed to be the per-
sonifica ton of all that was sweet,
and good, and / ure in politics and
business.
All this TIM the organs which
wee laid to faint tl e aei' al
about the sanity face OF Stanford,
we've at the same time under in
structicns to picture Coils p.
Huntington, with the face OF a
devil and a large pair OF horns
protruding from his forehead
Huntington was always sup
ltsed to be StaufuId's wicked
paI tner.
Huntington natu ally got weary
of this, and proposes to show the
people OF alifornia just where
the horns belong. He don't want
the hail. of goodness that encir-
Giles Stanford's head, but he pro-
proposes that the horns shall go
to Stanford.
1t is all nonsense for Stanford
to pose as a twenty-million philan-
thrupist, when he has spent not
more than two million, and most
of this is slowly but surely coming
back to his purse by the sale OF
real estate which has been doomed
by its proximity to Palo Alto.
This sum CT money, and a good
deal more, has come from the
pockets Of the people of Nevada
who for years were pl.ndered by
q eight system that was the
baldest robbery. When Stanford
Is questioned on this subject he
assumes surprise and ignorance
and talks about something else
He declined to give the members
of the Legislature of Californid a
banquet because, he said, "Evi
minded people might construe Il
into quasi bribe."
Such q remark almost makes
one faint, when it is matter Of
record, and every politician il
California knows it, that Vroomar
paid SO members of the Legisla
ture $4,000 e,.ch for their vote fol
Stanford, and il cost $25, 900 more
to hush it up.
In public Stanford poses as t.,
friend OF labor and the poor. anc
the champion of eternal justice
yet it is II matter of record tina
years ago man paid $4,000 t.
the {. p r. r. for land to which tn,
company never gave him perfec
title. The courts declared tina
the company had no title ano
could not sell the land.
The poor devil went to get hi,
money back, but with full knowl
edge of the facts, viz: that the r
r.. Company had the mans none,
and could not deed him the land
with full knowledge of these
facts, Stanford refused to ordel
the ret I'm of the money, unit
Huntington Investigated the mat
ter, cursed Stan ord for his mean
ness, and paid back the $4,000
with interest a. d u letter of apul
ogy.
II Huntington proposes to strip
the mask of hypocrisy from the
face IF stanford he cannot be any
