The PEOPLE of Oakland have
now heard Mr.. Hurst. Did he give
single reason why the Gormanites
should be retained in power?
Did he tell the people they should
have honest elections throughout
the State?
Did he tell the people they should
elect their own school officers and
Justices of the Peace!
Did he produce asingle plausible
reason that his election did not
mean the retention in power over
city and State of these two conspir-
ators and tricksters, Messrs. Cor.
man and Rasin, and that they
would not continue pulling the
past?
He did promise reassessment, but
IN view of the fact that he was the
leading spirit in defeating the reas-
sessment bill two years ago, does it
stand to reason that he was sincere
in his promise?
Did he, even in the mildest tones,
denounce the conspiracy now beng
Matched in Baltimore city to seat
him IN the gubernatorial chair by

He did not, and as he goes from
one end of the State to the other,
he will not.
