AGAINST REFUNDING
Resolutions Of the California Democratic
State Central Committee
A Telegram Received by Representa-.
tive Mcguire Giving Expression to
the Views Of That Body.

Representative Mcguire yesterday re-
cesved the following telegram from San
Francisco signed by T. H. Gould. chair
man Of the California democratic state GEN.
trail committee, and will endeavor to have
it lead to the House:
The democratic state central committee
adopted the following resolutions yesterday
without dissenting vote:
Whereas there are now pending before the
Congress Of the United States certain
measures intended to refund the indebted
ness OF the Central Pacific Railway Com
paly; and
Whereas 1t has been asserted in Wash
ington and elsewhere that aslarge majority
or the people Of the state of California are
Ia favor OF such refunding: therefore be 1t
resolved. That We. as members of the
democratic state central committee OF
tEe state or California, voicing the senti-
ment OF the democracy of the state, de-
clare that so far as the democratic party
Is concerned 1t is practically a unit against
slch refunding measure; and We further
declare that the democracy of this state is
IN favor Of compelling the Central Pacific
Raliroad Company and all other corpora
tons to discharge their honest obligations
to the government in like manner as pri-
vate individuals are compelled to discharge
dheir obEgations to one another; that We
dencunce the so-called equities of the
southern Pacific Company which have
been voiced by members Of that corpora
eioh ana It's h.reings for more than twenty
years In the state as stupendous fraud,
only calculated to catch the ears of the
groundlings; and be IL further
RESOLVED. That the democratic state cen.
tral committee Of the state extend their
thanks to the members of Congress and
Senators from the state who have faithfully
Kept Their obligations TO the people, and
they also extend their thanks TO the eight
members OF the state senate of the state
OF Kentucky who voted to repeal a charter
which permitted the Southern Pacific Com
pany OF Kentucky to prey upon every state
and territory except their own.
