Political Notes.

The Democrats, the Populists and the
silver Republicans will have no special
pleaders of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company here in this campaign to
talk for Bryan and silver, either from
the state of Maine or from the province
of New Brunswick
There is going to be no attempt made
to have a big parade before the election.
To do so would necessitate an expendi-
ture of between $4,000 and $4,000 and this
the Democrats have not at hand to eX-
pend. Neither have their allies. OF
course it is an easy matter for the Re-
publicans to raise $4,000 for their Reed
day. celebration. Their resources In
this campaign are limitless
The silverites have no such coin to
spend on any such gaudy display. But
next Tuesday they will get out the vote
and then will be done the grandest vol
unteer work in every voting precinct
in this county that was ever done by
citizens of any state
On Saturday evening. November 7th
DR.. Hill, chairman of the DeInoofatic
county committee, announces that there
will be held in Los Angeles the grandest
ratification meeting that was ever held
in the west. On that occasion it is pro-
posed to bring together the silver forces
from south of the Tehachepi mountains
to ratify the election of William J. Bry-
an as president of the United States.
All the necessary arrangements will be
made in due time. DR.. Hill has already
taken the matter in hand and has COM
menced the work.
It is proposed to bring all Southern
California and Arizona into Los Angeles
to participate in the celebration which
will outrank anything of the kind ever
seen west of the Mississippi river.
Next Monday evening the governor Of
the state of California will be here to
talk to the people. James Fl. Budd will
tell every citizen why he should go to
The polls on Tuesday next and cast his
ballot for Bryan and silver.
Governor Budd will undoubtedly be
given a warm and cordial greeting at
the hands of the people of this city for
they demonstrated only two years ago.
What they had faith in him as a man OF
rare discretion, great Judgment and un-
impeachable integrity.
The Republicans in Los Angeles who
voted for James H. Budd were sufficient
in numbers to elect him governor of the
state. They will undoubtedly turn out
in larger numbers to hear him discuss
the issues of the campaign.
By the way Are you aware of the
fact that the Illinois Steel company, one
of the gigantic corporations of the east,
q corporation whose industry Is highly
grind down labor than even Carnegie, is
responsible for the appearance of Thos
3. Reed on the Pacific coast?
Well, 1t is Just the same. The Illinois
Steel company pays all of the expenses
of the gentleman and his party and in
addition pays him $1,000 per day for his
speeches.
This is why Tom Reed appears on the
coast at this time, not to explain his
vote against the Chinese exclusion act,
but to plead with the voters to stand by
Hanna, Mckinley and the gold stand
ard
The people here know of Mr.. Reeds
close alliance with Coils p. Huntington
and the Southern Pacific but not all of
them are perhaps aware of the fact that
when Mr. Reed reached Los Angeles he
for the first time struck the Southern
Pacific road. He had travelled to Cali
forria over the Santa Fe
AS soon as he arrived Mr. Reed was
rendered a special train by the officers
of the company by telegram from San
Francisco. This is a fact and it cannot
be successfully refuted.
The railroad company appreciates
what Mr.. Reed has done for them in the
past as we'll as what he will do for them
in the future and what he is trying to
do now. Therefore he is given all the
courtesies in the way of special trains.
etc.
The Democratic committee endeayor-
ed to obtain some special rates from the
railroad companies to bring people into
Los Angeles next Monday to hear Gov.
Budd. The corporations without ex-
ception declined to make any rates. Gov.
Budd talks for Bryan and he talks very
ably for him and the principles he repre-
sents. Therefore the railroad compa-
nies desire as few people to hear him as
possible.
Any Republican they do not only
make special rates for, but they haul in
countless hundreds of people free of
charge.
Tuesday $500 people came in over the
Southern Pacific and 2700 over the Santa
Fe to hear Tom Reed. And when they
left they were dissatisfied crowd.
