Mr.. G. j. Mccarthy said: l ap-
pear before you as candidate for
Noble. The platform you have
heard read is the one on which l
stand, and if l shall be elected l
shall do my best to carry those
principles out. am on this ticket
as representative OF the retail
stOrekeepers and the workingmen,
and as you well know heretofore
these have been left without repre-
senlation, the men sent to the Legis-
latnre representing only some par
ticular clique or faction. There is
one point in that platform that /
wish TO express my opinion on. l
believe that this brings up the ques-
tiOn of the revolution of 1897. That
revolution, L believe, you will all
admit, was for the good of the coun-
try. The restriction Of the fran
chise for Mobiles was necessary then
to preserve the fruits Of that revolu-
tiOn, but now all danger Of losing
such is over, and / believe that the
property qualification can now be
safely abolished. Another point is
that of the Chinese question. You
know how | stand on this. do not
think amy of you will deny that the
Chinese question involves a great
evil to this country. Wepromise in
that platform to pass laws to reduce
that evil, and il we cannot do it
without amending the Constitution
we will amend the Constitution.
(Applause). That clause also APP

But why didn't they deal with it in
the last Legislature: Because they

speaker referred to the visit of the
American baseball combination and
the prevention of their playing here
because it was Sunday, and he
thought the blue laws that made
that possible ought to be abolished.
(Appause.) Someone in the audi
ence had called out to him at start
ing, "Raise it and go it alone" lie
would conclude ny replying, "Gen,
tlemen, we have both bowers, ace,
king and queen" (Applause.)
Hon. j. S. Walker, on rising, said
he would like to tell them Il little
story but it was too late. lie
appeared before them in capa-
city in which he had not stood
for many years, to ask for their
votes TO elect him rs Noble. lie
had been among them the last thirty
five years and they knew something
about him. So much had heen said
to them that he didn't like TO take
much of their time, hut wished to
say u little about their platform.
lie knew something about that plat
form, and il WAS not true they had
stolen it. The Government party
had no platform to steal. 1t was
true one of the Ministers had drawn
up platform, and that was all they
had. lie would refer especially to
agricultural interests. These organ.
izations had the especial interests Of
the country at heart when they laid
