Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-23

Immediately that class of citizens which
represents capital and objects to the
election of a United States senator by
the people, opened their batteries on me.
l tell you this to let you know that
have not entered the fight unmindful of
the fact that 1 will have to contend
against this but / do not
rely upon that which can be
bought for money, but upon
that support which is honestly given
for the benefit of the party. promise
you that in this struggle l shall not
withhold honest or true statements of
facts, whomsoever they may hit The
campaign is about to open, and you
know that there can be but one result
to the election of a Republican legisla-
ture. The issue must be met by the
election of a legislature which goes to
some change for the better in the ad-
ministration of affairs. appeal to you
that you place before the voters your
neighbors in whom you have confidence.
II you do that, if you give to the voters
men whom they can support, we will
win the fight. l again thank you for
the proudness which you have done me
today. I am grateful for your esteem,
and l promise you that if am defeated
the good work will 60 on. Individual
triumph is of but little moment. 1t is
a question of great Importance whether
the seats in the senate shall now be
filled by those for whom the only claim
is that they have been the highest bid
ders for cash."
