loud in their praises of their treat
ment, and said the hunting eclipsed
anything they had ever before seen
or heard of. The most of them left
for their home Saturday evening. and

hearty cheers for Lamar. They all
want to come a.aia, and bring their
friends. There Will be no difficulty
in securing u big attendance to the
next hunt. Too much credit cannot
be given to the Santa fe road in
their efforts to make the meet sue
cess. The rate they made was one
of the lowest ever given in the state,
and they transported by express
gratis all the rabbits killed. 1t is

BALLOTS, NOT BULLETS.

Dangerous Cry Than That.

demonstration was held in Union square
this evening. Detachments Of the munich
pal and park police were on hand to pre-

Samues, fiery socialist, was called upon
to preside. he made a speech strongly
con demning Pullman for his treatment OF
his employees, and then denounced capital
in the usual fashion.
Charles II. Machet, who was the socialist
candidate for Governor of this State, was
the next speaker. He referred at some
length to the late strike, and after con-
demning Pullman and the railroad mag
mates. exclaimed: I'VE must meet them
with the only weapon available-the BAL
lot. Tie ballot, not bullets, must be your
remedy"
After him came c. B. Wakeman. Pop

did Daniel de Leon, former candidate for
