think of man who trusts such fellow
II he should be elected governor, and in
his ignorance of state affairs should ap-
peal to him, it would be thuswise :
| what shall I do, Dan, with this bill? 4?
You know all about it. You have been
a long time in California. You know
all about this. Shall sign it?' Yes,
sign.' Very well, then, sign goes.'"
II was not for the man who received
the nomination for governor on the
Democratic ticket, but when l heard
what he had done for the city OF San
Francisco, while supervisor and after
wards mayor; when l heard how he
had lifted its indebtedness; when
was told that not single office had
been left unguarded; then | and all
the outside counties said: Give us as
our standard-bearer E. B. Pond Pro-
longed applause. When the counties
voted for Pond, San Francisco said: Let
us fall into line;' and they voted for
Pond
"What corpora tion had ever controlled
him? What act in his political career
could be pointed out as corrupt? ?
He forced the gas company to
pay its taxes, which it refused
to do by prohibiting its use for the city,
and asking the people to use oil. In
forty-eight hours their tax-money was
in the treasury. We must be guided by
the public record OF man. Who is
safer to trust? Pond knows the wants
of the people,"
The speaker here compared the
merits of both candidates, aud proved
conclusively that the Democrat was in
! finitely superior to his Republican ad-
| versary.
He said that the Democratic party
desired to foster public education, and
had embodied in its platform that
school books should be free. He depre-
Gated sectarian education as likely to
undermine the political edifce upon
which our liberties are based.
Mr.. Del Vale next referred
to the Australian ballot, which
he favored. He illustrated its
workings. The Republicans do not
like it. They say that they are in favor
of an honest ballot and a fair count.
Did any one ever believe that? In
| adopting the Australian ballot the poor
man and the rich man would have an
equal chance. The speaker then made
comparisons between the section OF the
Republican platform referring to taxa
ton on property and that of the Demo-
cratic platform on the same subject.
In the Republican parade on Satur-
day." said Mr.. Del Vale, "you saw Le-
land Stanford. He has achieved great
things in connecting the east with the
west by a gigantic railroad line. But
with all he has done had he right to
open his purse for the purchase of
a seat in the greatest legislative body in
the world? Should that body be COM
posed OF men whose only qualification
is wealth-Who have massive gold key
to open it's doors? His emissaries, their
pockets lined with gold, are even now
buying votes to send him once more to
the senate"
ION the other hand see Stephen M.
White. He goes everywhere, pays his
own fare, lifting his voice from commu-
nifty to community in the interest of the
people,"
The speaker drew a vivid picture of
what the able lieutenant governor would
do and the services he would render to
California if sent to the United States
senate, and concluded by urging his
hearers 10 send to the state legislature
.Jno. Wolfskill. A. M. Bragg, j. r.
Mathews and Henry B. Westerman,
who would do their utmost to secure the
seat in the United States senate for
Hon. s. NJ. White.
The Hon. s. NJ White was greeted
with great applause, waving of hats and
hand-clapping. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen: have been
from one end of this state to the other.

row will elect E. B. Pond and the ticket.

and Del Vale have passed the scathing
ordeal without a blot upon their es-
'cutchen. No man in this city, I am
sure, will vote against our honored
He has served with distinction for
eight years in the legislature, and
was one of the best presiding
officers in the senate. Lawrence
Archer, candidate for railroad commits
sioner of the Third district, is emin-
emf fitted for the position. John 7.
GaAey, who is a candidate from the
Fourth district for the state board of
equalization, is familiar with our wants
and necessities, and would be of more
help to us than cattleman who comes
from Monterey. The county ticket /
cannot discuss, but hope every man
will give his vote to r. Bilderrain. If
he had been elected last time, he would
have saved you many dollar"
The mention of the names of Gibson,
Munday, Kurtz and Waters drew ap-
plause.
"All these gentlemen" said Mr.. White,
deserve your support and sympathy.
1t is to the interest of every man in this
county that you send John Wolfskill to
the state senate and Messrs. Mathews,
Bragg and Westerman to the assembly.
They are reliable.

night in the Republican parade, who
