fight as any of the distingu fshed Repu b.
licans for honest money and the party

however, he acted Independently of the
national. committee. He made his own
engagements to speak and was not as
signed by the manaaers Of the national
campaign. His subsequent course will

found upholding the principles of the

that the Republican party in the plat
form Of principles which it adop ted at
St. Louis, proclaimed itself for honest
money, for protection, for reciprocity,
for law and order, and that we have q
right to claim it. this is not a partisan
victory, and it should not be claimed as
one.
/ know that no one will accuse me of
not being partisan. I am one and I
glory In 1T, but know that in this great
struggle we have had tho earnest and
loyal support of patriotic Democrats In

To them should be given full credit. 1t

SAcRAMESTGS SENSATION.
Assembymaa- Elect II. NJ marlborough
Accused of Having Derauded the
nou1fU

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 27.-L. M.
marlborough, Deputy Clerk of Sacra-
mento County and Populist Assembly
man-elect, has, it is claimed, been found
guilty of defrauding the county out of
various sums of money, and it is rumored
that the case will be brought to the atten-
ton of the Grand Jury. His method OF
pilfering, it is alleged, was to have those
who served on juries and who were en-
Titled to recompense from the county, sign
a blank power OF attorney, then to pro-
cure from another person the sum the
juror was entitled to, pay it, and after
ward fill out the demand on the county
for greater number OF days than The
Juror had served, pocketing the surplus.
How long this system has been pursued
and how much money has been obtained
from the county, II any, cannot be ascer-
tanned until a careful examination of the
books has been made.
K. Luppe. farmer who lives at Ante
lope, had served twenty-thre days on
Jury. 1t had been his custom, like that of
most of his neighbors. to tell Landsbor-
ough to collect his money and bring it TO
him Oh his next trip TO his home in that
vicinity. As marlborough failed to do
So the farmer came into town and de-
manded his money. On examining the
books it was found that Luppe was cred
tied with claiming $72 25 instead of $48 %.
He became indignant, and in the contro-
versy which followed the fraud was dis
covered.
The alleged guilty man has always been
considered reputable and possessed large
circle of friends. He has held responsible
offices for years. He was State Janitor
under Secretary of State Hendricks and
ran for Cserk of the Supreme Court with
]. V. Webster on the Populist ticket.
1t is claimed-with how much truth can
not at present be northumberland forgery
has also been committed. The expose has
created a vast amount of comment
throughout the city and county, and the
question is asked: will marlborough
assume his seat in the Assembly, If not,

STATEN ISLAND. MURDERERS.
Hjghbinders Who Slew An Sow Send
One of HIS Ears to Rival
TonO,

STOCKTON CAL, Dec. 27.-sheriff
Cunningham has been at work for some
time in his efforts to run to earth the men
who committed murder on Staten Island
on November Z. On that night All Sow,
Chinese vegetable gardener, who had a
number of men working for him, was
called out of his house after dark. Several
shots were heard. and when the men in
the clubhouse ran out they found their
employer dead on the ground with two
bullets through his body. One of his ears
was gone. 1t had been cut off close to his
head, as though severed with razor.
The Chinese in the house were all ar
rested. but all were discharged at the
preliminary examination for want OF
evidence.
Cunningham has obtained conclusive
evidence to prove that two highbinders
belonging to rival tong in San Francisco
came to Stockton by boat and murdered
the Staten Island gardener. They fed to
an adjacent landing and escaped to the
metropolis without discovery. There they
presented the ear OF the murdered man to
the society they represented, and were
paid considerable sum of money for put
ting him OUT OF the way. Cunningham
also learned that the ear was then placed
in letter and sent by mail to the society
to which the murdered man belonged.
The perpetrators of the crime are being
sought by the San Francisco police, and,
with the evidence in hand, will probably
be run to earth before long
