The Examiners Opposition to white

The Examiners Opposition to white.
EDITORS HERALD: The Examiner pre-
sumes to insinuate that Hon. S. M.
White is unloyal to the Democratic
party because, forsooth, he antagonized
the Examiners present candidate for
United States senator in the state con-
veDtion in regard to the railroad COM
mission. The futile argument of that
paper will fall very fiat in the face OF
the facts as they really exist. 1t is not
because of any real mistake, or any
favor shown, or advantage given the
Southern Pacific railroad that the Ex-
aminer would thus attack Mr.. White,
but it only prefers these charges thereby
endeavoring to prejudice the minds OF
and lead the people to believe that Mr..
White is in sympathy with the great
"slimy anaconda" of California, known
as the Southern Pacific.
This piece of tricky and treacherous
wand alism should be far below the in
tellect of that journal. Mr.. Whites
position on the railroads of this state is
too we'll known for the Examiner to in
any way injure him in the estimation of
those who know him; for Mr.. White
has proclaimed all over this state his
views on this as we'll as many other
public matters, and the people by
large majority have endorsed his
views; and when the state was
laboring in much uncertainty
prior to the last election Mr.. White had
the courage and unquestloned ability to
meet the champion of the Republican
party, Mr.. Estee, in joint debate, which
act alone had very much to do with
joining California almost solidly to the
Democratic party, notwithstanding the
opinion OF the Examiner may be other
wise. The power for good, when prop
erly directed, of such journal as the
Examiner is almost incalculable; but
when it leaves argument and logic, and
supplies in their stead charges that have
no coloring of truth, it is thea time for
the people to stop and ask if such a
journal is worthy of leadership in the
greatest political party on earth; and
when the Examiner assumes the task OF
showing to the voters of California that
Stephen M. White has in any way
whatever done anything or committed
any act that could in any way be con-
strued by an intelligent person as be-
traying the confidence Of the people, or
favoring any corporation OF any kind
further than justice demands, 1t will
have an elephant on it's hands that will
cost it much and which it will be too
glad to lay down. The fact of the whole
business is that Mr.. Whites popu-
larity with the people is some
what worrying the mighty monarch"
and by no fair and honorable means
can that journal overcome this popular
feeling, hence the unfair advantage it
takes in connecting him with the South
ern Pacific railroad, and this will cer-
tainly increase his popularity. the proof
OF which will be Mr.. Whites election
to the United States senate, and such a
just rebuke to the dark and devious
ways taken by the Examiner to defeat
him.
Mr.. White is from Southern Califor-
MIA. which is no doubt an eyesore to
the mighty monarch" as it's egotism,
greed, avarice, self devotionland esteem
are 30 strong that it cannot bear to see
any Democrat elected to the United
States senate from the southern part of
the state. STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT.
