[Calaveras ChronicIe.l
Friday evening last Hon. Grove L. ohm
son, the Republican nominee for Con-
gress IN this district, addressed large
and enthusiastic audience of ladies and
gentlemen in the Town Hall in this place.
Bontlres blazed and guns doomed, while
the Mokelumne Hill Brass Band played
a number OF patriotic airs. L. H. Day,
the President, opened the meeting with a
lew appropriate remarks, and then intro
duced the eloquent and logical speak er,
GfoVe l.. Johnson, whose fame as an
orator is household word all over the
state. MIR. Johnson's mastery eloquence
heid the audience spell for over an
hour and halt while he made an elo-
quent and manly appeal to the voters to
stand Ey the grand old Republican party,
THEY ARE EQUAL TO IT.
[Antioch Ledger.l
To contend that in tine the old parties
will not remedy the evils'that disturb the
convenience OF government, is to beguile
us into believing that the people are in
herently dishonest. Parties are only dis
honest when the people are dishonest.
W hen the leaders of party prove dis
honest then the other party succeeds and
It's leaders are tried. II both prove re-
creant, then the people, if honest, substi-
81
machinery the people are able to rectify
the mistakes OF its leaders.
THE RIGHT KIND.
Amador Recordl
Railroad Commissioner Beckman is an
everyday, outspoken and congeniaI man
10 one and all. with none of the frills that
too often surround the incumbent of pub
lie places. He is as courteous to pauper
as he would be to Prince, ONLY a little
more so, and would as soon tell the Gar
OF Russia to go to perdition as TO talk
oack at common American citizen. In
every sense of the word he is honest and
brave, fearless and conscientious in duty.
and he is found always with the people in
matters OF popular interest.
SLANDEROUS ATTACKS.
stockton independently
Slanderous attacks on candidates of
either party are indecent and.un-Ameri-
can. a man has right to know his ac-
cusers and face them. The object of the
law requiring printers to place their
names on publications was to prevent the
Issuance OF scandalous and unfair attacks
on candidates. The law should be en-
forced, and all good citizens will rejoice
over the conviction OF any and all Of
tenders.
SOMETHING To REMEMBER.
LIulare Register.I
There is nothing in the national record
of the Democratic party, nor III its career
IN this state. to commend it to the voters
OF California. Not an act or proposition
OF the last Legislature can be quoted as a
reason for giving the party another
chance. The last Democratic Governor
is praised with faint damns III the sooth-
Ing remark that he was a welI-meaning
man but easily imposed upon by trick
sters. The National Administration is a
skeleton at the feast with all of them who
know when they get body blow.
DIRTY ATTACKS.
Bakersfield Californian.l
Dirty personal attacks are not good pol
lticS and this paper will not engage in
nor encourage them.
SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF IT.
Oakland Times (DemDI
We regretted to see our esteemed con-
temporary, the Examiner, print. uuau-
thoriZed, the private correspondence of
Mr.. Estee. Some one about the Demo-
cratic State Committee is primarily 10
blame, however, for this Paul Pry sort of
business. Whoever is responsible for il
should be ashamed of it. There have
been campaigns conducted in this State
in which such methods could find no
place with the managers of either party.
EVEN IF TRUE?
Los Angeles Times
Mr.. Estee deuie3 the charge broupht
forward by his opponents that he miro
duced in the Legislature, thirty wears
ago, measure inimical to the negro race.
Even If the charge were true, in whole or
in part, it would furnish no reason whv
any negro should vote the Democratic
ticket The Democratic party has been
the inveterate foe and prosecutor of the
colored man from the time of its organi-
zation down to the present moment.
CONTEMPT FOR LAW,
LColusa SUM-
Is contempt for law one of the cardinal
principles of the Populist party? In YoIo
man is nominate for Sheriff whose only
recommendation is a strong prima facie
case against him for murder.
POPULIST FINANCE.
Pasadena STAR
The whole purport of the Populist
maniiestoes on finance is that the country
needs money that has no intrinsic value
but whose only value is impaired bv the
stamp of the Government. Abolish the
national banks. pay no attention TO gold
and silver, issue enough of paper money
TO give per capita circulation of about
$50, and the whole problem is solved, saw
these tinanciers. The scheme is opposed
To the teachings of history; it is discred
tied by experience; it is visionary and
lmpracticabie III the extreme.
