THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Crlmmins aud De Young CAustieaIIy
Scored by W. j. Greer.

Srimmlns ana DE GOuug Cauat1cRily
Scored by W. j. Greer.
Last night William J. Greer candidate on
the Peoples party ticket, addressed large
number of people, during which he gave
expression to his views on the general stu
alton.
He said he wished to ask any Democrat
present on what proposition he could sup
port that party. Andrew Jackson had said
that national banks were more threaten
ing danger than the presence of a standing
army, and one of the greatest living Demo-
Gratis says that the shrinkage Of the currency
has been more disastrous TO the community
than war. pestilence and famine.
Does the Democratic party propose to
regulate these evils? No ALI it proposes
to do is to "twiddle" with the tariff.
The Republican who votes in support o {
that party, as far as California is concerned
would be voting for Kelly. Crimmins and
DE I 4oung-men more con temptlble than
any highwayman. He respected SODtag
the Crimmins and De Young outfit. The
former Tisked and laid down their lives
when after plunder. while the latter steal
and rob under cover of the law; or, like the
monkey, when anything dangerous has to
be done they employ cats paw to sneak
out the Doodle. which they then appropriate
and gobble up.
He said the mass OF the citizens was
honest aud that we have no show against
organized rascalS; but the people were
forming themselves into a gigantic and
natural vigilance committee which, when
properly at work would proceed to drive De
Young, Kelly. CrimminS and the railroad
boodlers and monopolists out of the State.
He then referred TO the Examiner as Il
paper which, in endeavoring to bolster up
it's party, was sufficiently mean To misquote
one Of his reIlow-candidates, greatly to his
disadvantage.
He said he referred TO FL. w. Brueker,
who was made to say that he indorsed the
Traffic Association when what he did say
was that the Traffic Association was doing
work in trying to break the chains which
the Southern Pacific Railroad monopoly had
forged around California in general and San
Francisco in particular.
Mr.. Greer's speech was we'll received and
shortly atterward the meeting closed.

The Hearing Before the Ev,cted Tenants
Commission Suddenly Ends
DUBLIN, Nov. THE eyicted tenants
commission opened its inquiry to-day. JUS
tee Matthew, the president Of the commits
sion, stated that he had a letter from the
Marquis of Clanricarde referring to the
commission as a plan of campaign, and he
declined to attend as witness for the pur-
pose of making suggestions for an attack
upon his class.
While one of the witnesses was testifying,
Mr.. Carson, counsel for the landlords,
asked that he be allowed al ouce to cross.
examine. Justice Matthew refused, saying
that when the witnesses for both sides had
been heard the counsel would be allowed to
cross-emamine them through a commits
sioDer. Carson thereupon declared that tha
whole thing vas farce and that he would
not stultify his reputation by longer remain
ing before the commission. Justice Mat
thew said that Carson's actions were dis
graceful. Other counsel present as repre-
sentatiyes of the landlords eoncurred in the
remarks of Carson and withdrew from the
the Tooni. The landlords being thus un-
represented, Jnstice Matthew adjourned
the commission.

We learn that there are some
who are complaining because we
see fit to publish few Thru par
ty notes in our paper, and that be-
cause of this, our democracy was
pronounced unstable. In reply to
that charge all We have to say is
for you to remember that G. Fl.
Hagan as editor will run his own
paper, as he thinks, to the best in
terest of San Saba County, with
just consideration for the political
views of all others. That as Chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee he will be found ready
to perform any duty however ar
duous for the furtherance of his
party. As a citizen he will do as
he pleases. He will do all of these
things and many more regardless
of what you or anyone else may
think. Until some one can show
his papers wherein he has been
appointed custodian of Public De-
mocracy or constituted judge of
the democracy of others, he pro-
poses to hold his position, and
even then lie viii do battle for his
political principles.

The Southern Girl.

Tho sung quite oft, the praises
of the southern girl can ne'er be
sung too much.
Lovely as the cloudless day in
June and with a heart as soft as
the dews that kiss the morning
rose, she is seen only to be loved,
and loved but to be worshipped.
Coy as "the insect queen of eastern
spring" she possesses the modesty
of the violet, and is the very es-
sence of love, purity and truth.
Fragile as the tenderest plant, and
blushing at the least intrusion, she
becomes heroine in the hour of
danger and has been known to
work miracles with her dauntless
courage. Gentle and caressing
when loved, she becomes the oppo-
site when scorned, and her fash
ing eyes and quivering lips tell too
plainly of the storm that RACES be-
meath. Clinging to those she loves
like ivy to the oak, the storm can
not beat wild enough to tear her
away, and when the tempests
frown the darkest of her smiles are
rays ofsunshine. When the storm
cloud spreads its dark wings over
our sunny southern plains, which
became the beds of the dead and
dying, it was the southern girl who
lowered like an angel over the bat
tlefeld and ministered to friend
and foe alike; it was she who plan
ted a violet on the grave of the
blue. But greater still did her
glory shine when the star of the
south went out forever and her
warriors returned vanquished,
weary and lame. Did she drive
him from her? Far from it. But
with a heroism that has never been
equalled she pressed him to her
heart, and it was her love and ten
derness that dispelled his dreary
gloom and opening to him a new
and peaceful life. Tho free as
bird, and with a heart as light, she
is true and faithful to friend and
foe alike.-Ex.
