after many rebulfs, to get a day set
apart for its consideration by the house.
1t was the only bill allowed to break in
upon the tariff discussion that was then
before the house, and but for the skilful
parliamentary maneuver executed by
him would probably have gone over for
the session, and possibly have been lost

TIE STRATEGY OF THE S p. r. r

Why is it tina. the Evening Express -
the organ Of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company-is applsuding the ora
torical vociferations of Mr.. McLschlan
in denouncing it's said patron? Why is
il that that paper is now claiming as the
chief virtue of its said candidate TO:
congress that he is now proclaiming
himself from the stump as opposed to
the pet schemes of said corporation in
regard to the location OF the deep ees
harbor, and the Reilly bill-and that in
short he is out-Heroding Herod-aud
out-Pattoning Patton in denouncing that
corporation and its president, Hunting
ton, generally and specifically? The
answer is this: 1t is the strategy OF
necessity. 1t is the scheme OF the
shrewd and cunning managers of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company to
delude the dear people by clothing its
candidates in false colors. Those cum
ming managers have plainly discovered
that if the cloven foot OF the Southern
Pacific Railroad company is discovered
under the sheep's clothing of their
candidate. he will surely be beaten BY
George S. Patton. The current of pop
ular opinion has demonstrated to their
satisfaction that an open fight against
Patton by their corporation will surely
result in his election. So the said or
gan has been instructed to disguise it.
sell. for the present, as an enemy. The
cue has also been given to lis candidate
McLachlan to masquerade as unfriendly
to his friend the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company until after the election.
Hence, his recent loud proclamations
from the stump that he Is as much OPP
posed to all the acts and schemes OF the
said railroad company as is MIR. Patton.
Hence, the daily applauding of him for
his recent claims of that virtue. which
until lately was supposed to be the
especial issue upon which Mr.. Patton
was nominated and has been making
his canvass.
We think, however, the eyes of the
average voters are open wide enough to
see through this scheme OF the arch enc
my and it's friends, and that
they are fully competent to de-
termine for themselves on election day
who is most to be trusted to thwart
the selfsh schemes OF the Southern
Pacific Railroad company. George s..
Patton, the man who openly and boldly
before and since his nomination for con-
gress, has proclaimed his position in
hostility TO those schemes. or James
McLachlan, the new convert who, now
under the necessity of its being his only
chance for election, proclaims himself
as fighting on the same side and shoulder
to shoulder with Patton.
Who will the people prefer to trust,
George S. Patton who, from the begin
ming, has been openly ald boldly fight
ing their fight against the oppressions
