PROTECTION FOR THE LABoRER

The Republicans of California are going
to make a vigorous and aggressive cam
paign against the Democrats and the
Populists. Clubs are forming in every
| part of the City and State, and many ac-
cessions are noted of workingmen who
formerly shouted for silver and for Sen
ator Stewards mining pool, but who have
realized that without employment they
cannot get an honest dollar or any other
kind of dollar, and that protection is the
only means by which the wheels OF indus
try in every State in the Union may be set
revolving.
The registration of voters has been
closely watched by corps of competent
clerks IN the ranks of the Republican
County Committee and by another corps
at the Registrars office in the City Hall.
A complete copy of the great register was
kept from day to day and fled with the
clerks in the County Committee rooms,
and all suspectable names and localities
were vigorously investigated.
By these means registration suffers
were thwarted. Several instances were
noted in which men attempted to register
from several precincts besides the one in
which they resided. Their names were
stricken off, and they excused themselves
by saving that they were drunk and didn't
know what they were doing.

from which the following are extracts:
Presidents come and Presidents go. Parties
are organized and flourish for a time and then
disappear, but the Union League Club OF this
Nation goes on forever.
You have very important mission to per-
form. You can visit the man who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow and show him
the erroneous illusions which the Democracy
has placed before his eyes.
Colonel Duboce followed with q few
brief remarks of a patriotic nature, and
Major Kyle made a very clever speech,
He advised each mem ber of the league to
spend one day in the week in missionary
work. They should follow the example
of the Salvation Army and go to the peo-
pie. literary committee should be ap-
pointed to show the workingman why he
should be paid dollar that is worth 100
cents in every country in the world.
