DeUT SlT: III Is Win great regret that
be presentat your meeting tonight. for nothing
could have given me greater pleasure than TO al.
dress the people OF Oakland on subject matter IN
which they, and we all, are deeply interested.
The iuRding bill now pending in Congress is
measure which should be defeated by all means
If it is we may emerge from the chains of slavery
whichs have shaekled us Tor quarter or q cen
tury.
If there is any manhood left in the people OF
California they Will stand shoulder TO shoulder In
this fight, which is truly fight our future e1-
istence and happiness.
What do the platforms and professIonS nY all
parties amount to compared to that overshad-
owing cuTse-he rule or that Kentucky corpora-
tion. W afford to iorego all party issues and
make one supreme effort TO defeat that great
incubus our welfare.
The Republican party has ignored the funding
bill altogether and the platform the II nominees
smack OF Fourth and Townsend streets.
Tbs Populists have nobly come forward and pur
plank IN their platform which does not admit OF
misconstructlon
May the cause Of the people be successful at the
coming election. Very truly yours,
ADoLPH SUrRo.
