Popuiists you find Democrats. The Pop
uilst party has large accessions in many
places from the Republican ranks. he
said.
1here are many abuses in our State
government that should be corrected.
ne Fopullst party has promised TO re-
oace the state expenses % per cent, but
MI. Estee thinks it cannot be done with
out closing the schools and opening the
pehltentlaries. The speaker had COM
plIed statement of the cost per capita of
seNeraI State governments, and found
that 1t cost nearly six times as much TO
run the State of California as it did States
east OF It, Secretary OF State Waite had
told him that tue expenses could be cut
down 40 per cent.
Ihe Democrats charge the Republicans
with the waste, and vice versa. The
democrats. who controlled the Legisia-
lure IN 1889 and 1890, are responsible.
Inc Republicans, who controlled the
next, are responsible for it. There was
very little difference in the appropriations
tor the last six years. The Republicans
promised to cut taxes down To 30 cents
and the Democrats promise to cut it down
TO 10 cents.
lie said that the Legislatures are ex-
tfaYagant IN the number of employes
they lind places Tor and thus increase the
taxes.
ltloIIl Legislature is wanted a
reform party IS needed to elect il. We are
on the eve OF an eruption. Just what it
VIII amount TO we Go not know. Thou
sands are out of employment. This is on
account or strlngency of business and
thls Is Que to the contraction. of the cur
rency, ne said, and he did not want his
hearers TO be deluded into thinking it
was the tariff. There are 4,00O,000 men
out OF employment in this country and it
IS que TO contraction of currency. The
farmers are paying 10 per cent. interest
and 80 per cent. Of the farms are mort
gagged. The banks do not loan on a mort
gage any longer, but on a trust deed
without redemption. The banks car
therefore close out 80 per cent. of the
farms within tweuty-One days if they
cnoose. The only remedy for this is TO
have larger circulation of money at Il
lower rate OF interest. This would start
the wheels Of business and in ninety
days there would not be an idle man in
the Nation" was what manufactures
told him last week. About 90 per cent.
OF the farm and city homes in the coun-
try are mortgaged. The farms are being
depopulated and the inhabitants are
gathering in the cities. We must pre-
servo our homes. There cannot be any
love of country whore there are no
homes.
Mr.. Daggett also spoke on the issues

VERY WEAK DEFENSE FOR WORDEN.
His Counsel VIII Contend it Was
by an Accident
The Train Was Wrecked July 11th-
A Young Man Who Saw the
Whole Thing.
Especial to the REcoRD-US1ox.l

WOODLAND, Oct. 23.-The Superior
Court rooms were crowded to-day by
those who had anticipated sensational
developments in the Worden trial. This
is attributed to the presence of Detective
Stillwell. who has been working on the
case under the direction of Attorney
Carroll Cook
Mr.. Cook informed your correspondent
that important testimony which did not
come out at the preliminary examination
would be addueed at the trial.
Detective Stllwell has Arthur Western
in charge. Western is the young man
who claims to have witnessed the wreck.
He narrated tho incidents of the derail-
ment Of the train to two young ladies of
the city, and if he is put on the stand they
will probably be called 10 cOrroborate
him.
The first witness called this morning
was Roadmaster II. b. McCrabbe. He
testified 20 having seen Worden on July
llth, and also went To the scene OF tho
wreck on the first train that went out
from Sacramento TO bring back the SOL
dlers and passengers.
lie described the condition of the road,
the position OF the fallen engine and
tender, and of the other cars that were
derailed.
Isn't it the duty of the Roadmaster to
keep the road in condition? ?" was Attor-
ney Strong's nrst question upon cross
examination.
Witness replied in the affirmative, but
said he acted as watchman in tho yard
during The strike. From the 9TH of j une
and until after the strike lie did not go
over the road TO examine it.
Attorney Strong gave notice that he
would make McCrabbe q witness for the
defense in due time.
Witness said thore must have been
space lett between The two rails at the
Jolnture, nor could the sun expand the
rails to any material extent, and they
were so laid as TO allow for an ordinary
expansion.
Attorney Strong is contesting every
point, and it is evident from his cross
questioning that tho defense will deny
that there was wreck and maintain that
the occurrence was accidental.
The witness illustrated, by means of
two angle plates, how the rails were con-
nected by flsh-plateS in such manner as
TO allow for expansion by the sun with
out diSplacing the rails.
u. w. HeintZleman, Master Mechanic
OF the southern Pacific, was the next
witness for the prosecution. He de-
sclbed the position iii which Engineer
Clark's body was found, and how it was
removed from under the engine. He
made an examination OF the trestle after
the wreck, and found unmistakable evil
dences Of giant powder explosions on the
ties and strDgers.

with people To hear the San Luis Obispo

Chris Weisel acted as Chairman of the
