SANTA ANA, Oct. 8.-This city has
for several days been a political caul-
dron, and the buildings are yet heard
on all the corners. Yesterday Senator
Perkins and Hon. B. Butterworth spoke
terworth spoke first. His argument was
Of the double-barrel shotgun order Of
confidence and protection. To believe
the gentleman's assertions, California
would rise to imperial grandeur and ar
tesian wells burst from every mountain
top. Under McKinleyism he stated that
he believed himself to be right, but
might be wrong He laboriously strove
to prove heavy tax a great blessing, de-
clared Clevelandism the sole cause of
hard times and that California should
vote these times away. IF you believe
protection to be robbery. vote against
it," Would like more money but don't
see how he is to get it. Congress can
not fix the value Of metal Money Is
property used as medium Of exchange.
A trade dollar bore the government
stamp, but had no debt-paying power
w. j. Bryan knows no more of the dollar
under free silver than he does of the
stars of heaven, and does not propose
to preserve the parity but to get the
presidency.

dignant scorn upon the heads Of all help

business" "silver theory crazy horse,'
its advocates "anarchistic rebels;" many
Democrats bought by Republican pro-
lection; national debt thirteen hundred
and twenty millions; debt of corpora
tions forty times as great, all in bonds,
payable in gold, and only confidence
can pay them.

price of that metal. The Bland Allison
act did not raise it. He spoke of the
attack upon the supreme court, ridi-

Whiskers PETER ct al. They left all
parties and yet combine with all parties
He ridiculed Mexico. declaring it to be
the home of banditti, ignorant poems
and beggars, tinctured with leprosy,
without school houses or other means of
education, the great ambition Of the peo-
pie being to eat frijoles, attend bull
fights and drink mescal. He closed with
tribute to Senator Perkins, who said
few words as to the yellow, white and
other colors in the flowers and foliage
of California's flora, talked about orange
land in Italy being worth $500 per acre
and only 5000 in California, and held
Democrats responsible therefor, not stat
ing whether he meant the good old
ones or the mean new ones. The sena-
tor had good attention and much ap-
plause, especially when he closed by
saying. Depression is only te porary,
and will pass away with the election of
Mckinley" The fruits of yesterday s
work are several converts to the silver
cause.
