declaration which would cover them
all. But 1 find that it was nothing
mere nor less than a contemplate at
tempt to stigmatize as cattle the lib
erty-loving, self-respecting, self-sus-
tanning shopmen of Sacramento-men
whose little fingers count for more in
this city of ours than a whole batch
or such mud-slinging mongrels as sub
scrlbed to the sentiment of that public
Insult. Are men who carry under their
hats more brains. under their jumpers
digger hearts than such belittling
plackguardS ever dreamed of to be
subjected to such abuse? No! Assaults
SO unjust and uncharitable will only
lrlure the man or men who, to make
them, takes up such weapons.
And right here let me say to you that
in every declaration coming from the
Populists-1 say Populists, for that is
the only party we are fighting now, as
they have swallowed the Democra cy
and while they are like the snake that
swallowed the frog that had swallowed
the rock, they are nevertheless on the
inside, whether to be digested or not
l say, in every declaration, either IN
private or from their platform, do
trey take occasion to denounce every
measure or eXpedient that would be to
your interests.
An injury to your employer is an
injury to you. You can no more pre-
vent a detriment to your employer from
reaching you than you can change the
course of storm. You can no more
separate his interest from yours than
you can sever an artery without the
loss of blood. Your employers prosper
ity can no more be held for himself
alone than he can hold for himself alone
the rays of Gods sunlight.
And now, because you are prudent
enough, thoughtful enough-becauSe
the lamp of experience has guided you
to such a observation-disclosures you going
to be led away from it by some blatant
demagogue? OF course you are not,
and so long will your prosperity, the
prosperity of your city, county and
State and nation be assured.
Mr.. BruSie was repeatedly interrupt

cteered at the conclusion of his re-
marks.
SENATOR HARTS ADDRESS.
Hon. e. c. Hart said Mr.. Brusie had
stated forcibly and logically the i'm
portance of this campaign to the work
ingman. If there ever was one that
affected him, this is the one. He him
self was a candidate for an office far
removed from politics, but he must say
that this was one Of the most moment
Gus campaigns in the history of the
country. Men differ honestly in their
opinions of what is best for the country
and should respect each others opin-
ions. He could consistently claim to
have been workingman and felt that
the interests of the workingmen were
deeply involved and that the man from
whom prosperity must be expected is
the one who will stand by the working
man. He hoped to receive their support
on next Tuesday. (Applause)
w. NJ Sims said that he had but a
few words to say. Speaking 10 them
as workingmen he need not emphasize
the fact that four years ago the issue
was protection and the past four years
had not been favorable to the working
man. He asked them to give the Re
publican party the benefit of the doubt
and vote for the party that stood for
the protection Of American working
mems interests. He asked their support
in his canvass, to enable him 10 roll
up an Old-time Republican, majority in
the Twentieth Assembly District and
to represent it in the next Legislature,
where he would do his best for Sacra-
mento and her interests as well as
those of the whole State
Hon. c. n. Post said he was always
glad to meet his friends and he felt
that among them We're the toileSs in
the Southern Pacific shops. He had
been one of them. Twenty years ago
he had walked the streets Of Sacra-
mento with his hands and face as black
as any of them. He had turned his at
tention to the law and had risen to the
position of First Assistant Attorney
General. He wished now to be able to
say that he had stepped from the me-
chanic's bench in the Southern Pacific
shops to the bench of the Superior
Court.
There had been some doubts ex-
pressed as to his ability, but he could
say that at the next meeting of the
Supreme Court here he would have
more cases to argue before it than all
the lawyers of Sacramento would. If
elected he should fill the position to
the best of his ability, and know no
distinction between men.
a either and mandolin trio followed
and was received with loud applause
JUDGE CATLIN SPEAKS
Judge Catlin was the next speaker
and had to wait till the storm of ap-
plause that greeted his appearance
subsided.
He said that he had come here this
evening at their invitation and was
glad to have an opportunity to express
his sentiments to them. The audience
was too large for his voice, but he was
rot expected to make political speech.
They all knew he was a candidate for
reelection to his present position.
There was no reason why Judge
should not make a political speech, for
he keeps in touch with the topics of the
DAY and forms his opinions, as other
men do. He intended however. to make
his remarks personal to himself.
He was one of the earliest friends of
the Pacific Railroad and worked for it
early and late before Huntington, Hop
kins and Stanford took hold of the pro-

made by MIR. Judah and was an earnest
advocate of the road.
He alluded to an anonymous card that
stated that he was a Know Nothing

He was never Know Nothing, and the
party only existed a year on this coast
He was Whig, an advocate of the doc
trine taught by that great apostle of
protection, Henry Clay. He was a
Whig as long as the party lasted, and
until its vote in the State fell to t., 600
