Gen. Becker here commenced a re-
view of the Democratic party. He
was one who believed we were having
too much Legislation, When he looked
at>the pile Of legislation at the, State
and National capitols, he was inclined
to believe that if legislation was a
good thing we ought to be the most
prosperous nation under the sun,
In theory and practice the Demo
cratic party has always been in favor
of low taxation. It does not believe
in taxing one class in favor of another.
1t believes in revenue only to run the
povnrnnnnnt. Gen. Becker cOntended
that the men who wanted protective
tariff were those who owned the mines
and mills. Let them sell their inter-
ests and they would be free traders.
He believed that the last congress
had laid protection low never to rise

1t was getting along towards the
time when the convention was to have
been called. John Schmid, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Senator, at the
head Of the Morgan band, himself
armed with a beautiful silver tuba,
marched into the hall, and soon the
band struck up National air. An
applause called forth another, and a
third. John Schmid and the Morgan
band were alright, and they retired.
Again a recess was taken until the
train from the east should arrive, and
bring in the plumaged chieftain, John
Cooper, who was badly wanted by the
Redwood band. The train arrived
and Sachem Cooper was aboard. The
convention was called to order. It
was Just three o clock. Sachems Lewis
and Dooner we're named for chairman.
A secret ballot was taken, John II.
Posi- and A. w. Bager being named
as tellers. The vote stood Is to IA in
favor of Capt. Lewis. Sachem Pat
had not voted, and the tellers allowed
him to mark one for Mr.. Dooner, but
still Sachem Lewis was one ahead and
was declared elected chairman.
"Thanks. It is double honor to
preside over this convention, and to
see so large number of delegates
present." we're the first words that fell
from the lips of the eminent chieftain.

again. 1t was an overthrow of trusts
and monopolies, backed upby Repub-
lican members of congress, skilled in
parliamentary tactics.
On currency Gen. Becker said that
the Democratic party was always in
favor of free silver and gold, and if
there had been any anti-silver legisla-
ton the Democrats were not response
bic. He was opposed to the issuing
of currency by National banks, and
believed that the United States should
alone control that medium. He be-
lieved in the United States disregard
ing foreign countries in the matter of
issuing currency. That would be the
best protection we could have. If he
had his way the government would
never issue bond or pay dollar Of
interest. Here Gen. Becker commend
ed Gen. Baker to the people of this
distaict who were in favor of tariff re-
form, and of good currency. With
reference to the State campaign Gen.
Becker said that his three opponents
we're pure men of good character, who
he believed, had the interests of the
people at heart. The selection of the
Democratic ticket, by the largest con-
vention ever held in this State, was a
selection that called forth the vote of

Later, when the Redwood delegation
of plumed chieftains arrived on the
scene, this little game of wire pulling
was carried on more secretly, but not
without the alert Redwood braves
getting wind OF it. Their tomahawks
we're called for, and the scalp of Sa-

Erastus Winsan Discourses on the
Wilson Bill.

The Herald has repeatedly referred
to the miserable folly INDUCED in by
Mr. Wilson in his proposal TO throw
down the bars an admit, pell-mell to
the American market. the products Of
every nation under heaven 1t does
seem as If an individual with the sense
of snail could see that foreign coun-
tries, if admitted to the markets oil

ance, will never, mere, NEVER. NEVER

more favorable than now Foreign
statesmen are not fools neither are
they noted for the performance of the
Good Samaritan act.
Mr. Erastus Wiman, the great Ca
madam American, in an interview
published in the Washington Post,
says it is his deliberate conviction
that no blunder SO stupendous has
ever been made, than to go right to
work to get raw material only for gold
sent out of the country, and create
permanent boundaries against all pos
sible expansion Of commerce on this
continent. That's just what the Will
son bill, without some proviso, is
going to do"
"If you can get Canada TO take back
eggs, or horses, lumber, or fish, iron
ore, or barley, you might make an ex-
change. But Canada is capable Of a
greater amount of natural products
and raw material than any other coun-
try, and hence needs none in exchange.
What Canada does need is an op.
portunity to buy in this market. But

A Tariff Bill for a Deficit only.

protectionist organization in the Unit

up The Wilson Tariff for Deficit
Only, to show that it is neither flesh,
fish, nor fowl. 1t is not a free trade
bill, as a part of the Democratic par

is not bill for revenue only, as the
party platform calls for, because it
has many distinctive protective fea-
lures; aud yet it is not bill that is
satisfactory in any way protectionists
