the Populst party. He called the turn o
the Democracy. saying: Only one is
ack and the other a little bit blacker.
Made mp of cranks, and the worst kind of
| cranks, is the Populist party" This rally
| brought forth cheers and few Kisses. 1t
was plain there were PODulists in the
house and they did not like those bitter
pills. The cheering drowned the Kisses
and the speaker continued:
There are sincere men among the
Populists. OF course, but they are wrong.
l repeat you can't tell the difference be-
tween Democrats and Populists. There
was Marion Cannon, elected BY POpulists
and voting constantly with the
Democrats. Look al Waite of Colorado :
A voice: "a good man. Re is
PoDullst. He is the man who was going
to ride in blood up 10 the bride, and good
American blood at that. Both the Demo
Gratis and POpulists are free-traders, and
We can't live in these United States under
free trade. Every POpulist is a socialist,
Zoo. A voice: That's wrong"1 Is it?
I'll give you another discovery anarch-
ist belongs to the Populist party Tcheers
and the soil of these United States is rot
fruitful for socialism or anarchy. Why,
Senator Hill introduced bill to deD0rt
the anarchists from these shores and every
POpust voted against il.

the anarchists with the POpulistS. You
don't find them in the Republican party,
that party of law and order, the party
which alone Is entitled to the confidence
Of the people"
In word. the Cleveland Democratic
party aud the Populists have proven them
selves unable to wisely or justly govern
the American nation.
In view of the universal depression in
the price Of labor and of the products of
labor, it is due the people of this State
due to the raXpayers-that public affairs
shall be conducted on most economical
basis With that purpose in view the Re-
publican party declares:
We are In favor of and will enforce economy
In public affairs. and for that purpose we pledge
our nominees that The State tax levy, except in
case OF war or inSurrectlOn. shall not exceed
for any one year fifty cents on each 500 of
assessed valuation OF property. and as much
less as most economical administration of the
State government will permit.
Ii am elected Governor this will be my
guide. Taxation shall be lowered. But |
do not. nor can any thoughtful man prom
Use to bring the public expenditures down
to the amount stated in the platform OF the
Popu'ists, namely, to twenty-five cents on
the 500, and for the reason that the fixed
expenses Of The State government, namely,
those prescribed by the constitution and
the laws of the State and those demanded

sane, and of the penitentiaries and the
deaf and dun h and blind will far exceed
that amoUn'. No truthful man can afford
todeceive the public by making promises
which cannot be kept.
Speaking of the Central Pacific funding
bill now before Congress Mr.. Estee said
This Is an admitted Democratic measure.
sanctioned and favoraDly reported upon by
Cleveland Democratic committee of a
Democratic Congress. and vet some of the
California Democratic journals are en-
gagged In the vain effort OF trying to con-
yince the people that The Republicans
favor this bill. and these journals are also
engaged in the laudable effort of getting
signatures to remOnstrance against the
passage OF this most unjust and unpopular
Democratic measure. ID other words, they
want the people protected against
the Cleveland Democratic party. They
are afraid OF their own President, of their
own Congress, of their own party and of
their own rri nciples. In a word, before
election the Cleveland Democrats of Cali
forDia do not agree with the national
Democrats. After election they will
agree With them. To be fair. there Is n o
doubt but what large majority of the
people of California. Republicans and
Democrats, are opposed to this funding
bill, but it is also fact that the Cleve-
land Democracy Is the only organized
political body of our country that sus-
taIns that measure.
The point now is. will this Democratic
and Populistic Congress impose this vast
and ever increasing Indebtedness upon
the country? The Republican party is
opposed to ii, and asks the earnest and
active cooperation of all right thinking
men 10 oppose it.
In conclusion, the PEOPLE of this State
are opposed to this measure. L am OPP
posed to it. 1t is a mortgage on the pro-
dnctiye industries of California for fifty
wears to come. Our freight sent 10 an
Eastern market will have to pay in cost
of transportation the full amount of that
mortgage debt. principal and interest. 1t
will be discrimination against California;
which is unfair to our people.
