t1On CnaTleS "A. Barlow, the IuslOlt
nominee for congress in this district,
arrived in the city from the north yes
terday afternoon. He was met at the
depot by number of leading Demo-
Gratis and Populists and given hearty
greeting. The party proceeded to the
Hotel Ramona, where he will remain
during his stay in the city.
During the afternoon Mr.. Barlow re-
ceived the gentlemen who called upon
him, and for several hours there was
a steady stream. There was quite a
number of silver Republicans in the
throng who called to pay their respects
to the next congressman from this dis
trict.
Later in the day Mr.. Barlow was seen
by a Herald representative, and kindly
consented to be interviewed. Mr.. Bar
low is a pleasant conversationalist. He
is a man of intelligence. and is well
postedUn all the issues OF the day. AS
an orator he is the equal of James Nc
Lachlan, his opponent.
II am very glad to be here at this
time" said Mr.. Barlow, "to meet the
citizens of Los Angeles. or at least
some of them, and TO form the acquaint-
ance of some of the people whom l hope
will repose confidence in me, and send
me as their representative in congress.
IF they do so / will strive to do eve-
rythiag that lies in my power to truly,
honestly and faithfully represent them.
II will stand by silver coinage, first.

everything that it is in my power to do
to strengthen the arm of William j.
Bryan, who is certain to be the next
president OF the United States.

Pacific coast may be extended for a

will oppose the proposition to expend
any of the peoples money upon pri-

case. stand for San Pedro harbor,
which, as 1t now stands, is the peoples
harbor.
In fact, on every proposition which
comes up or which may come up, either
In congress or out, ] propose to stand
by the people. l am not indebted to the

past but l am indebted to the people

In the matter of Los Angeles affairs
which would come to me as the represen-
tative of this district in congress l will
be largely guided by the advice of SEN
ator Stephen M. White and I know that
in doing this J. can make no mistake
"The canvass throughout the district
Is progressing most satisfactorily. ] am
very much encouraged at the outlook
and feel quite confident that the friends
of silver are in large majority in this
congressional district. This being the
case 1t would be inconsistent of them
to send man to congress who was once
for silver but who is now for gole. and of
whom three months from now there is
doubt as to where he will stand.
Il regret that l will be unable at this
time to talk to the people of this great
county. which is really the Sixth con-
sressional district. but before the cam
paign closes there is not a man, woman
or child in this county that will not be
in a position to state where Charles A.
Barlow stands upon every one of the
local questions affecting your people
here which have any bearing upon or
connection with federal legislation.

close, for the railroad company has large
interests there and the corporation is
doing everything that it possibly can for
Mckinley. In my own county of San
Luis Obispo Bryan will poll two-thirds
Of the votes cast. Santa Barbara and
Ventura are both safe for Bryan, and
as near as 1 can learn everything here
looks bright.
In the morning will visit the Demo-
cratic and Populist county conventions.
The object of my visit at this time is to
meet the fusion congressional commit
tee and arrange the details Of the cam

the north in the afternoon to fill an ap-

II will be with you about the 1st of Oc-

OF Los Angeles who has any desire to Sc.

nave invited me to make them a talk at

credit in this year of 1896 and I am al
