The 1896 Ballot.

In compliance with the law passed by the last
legislature, the ballot to be voted at this fall
election will be entirely different from that of
former years. Instead of each ticket being in a
separate column, all will be in one long column,
the several candidates for each Office being to-
gether Before each candidates name is his
political title and after the name, the square in
which to make your X mark. At the head of
the ballot will appear the party designations in
the following order: Republican ticket, Demo
cratic ticket, Peoples Party ticket, Prohibition
ticket, National ticket. A cross in the square
following either of these titles means a straight
vote, one for every candidate of that persuasion
on the ballot. The form herewith will give you
all idea of the new ballot:

We have yet to hear of any such inter-

anywhere. To say the least, tbeis is
hardly an evidence of the advanced

HUNTINGTON HIS TEXT.
Vallejo Preacher Gathering Data on
the Railway Magnate's
Career.

OAKLAND, CAL, May 21.-Rev. W. l..
CASTOR, pastor of tho Cornell Baptist
Church st Vallejo, is obtaining data for
the purpose OF preaching a sermon on c.
P. Huntington's protection from justice
on account of his wealth. He has writ en-
to W. B. Soule, formerly president of the
County Federation of Labor, to help him.
Rev. w. l.. CASTOR says: "You will re-
member that in the sacred volume we
read that King Solomon made golden tar
gets and golden shields. This, it occurs
to me, would be an excellent foundation
for lesson on the issues of the
day. l might ind occasion TO denounce
the encroachment of concentrated wealth
upon every division OF government, its
oppression OF labor, together with its utter
disregard of right and law. AS you know,
all archers to-day shoot at the golden
target. Many high-handed criminals v:o-
late all law with lmpunity; plumber the
public, then evade justice and escape retri-
button by hiding behind golden shields.
"lf you have any data that bear directly
! upon the abnormal greed of man, or OF the
rich escaping tie day OF judgment because
OF money, will you kindly put them in my
| possession? II you have any data con-
corning the attempt to arrest c. P. Hunt
| ington for violating the interstate COM
merce act by issuing a free pass TO an
| Oakland attorney named Stone, will you
send them also?"
The request of the Vallejo clergyman
| was handed TO Thomas J. Roberts, the
| A. r. U. leader of the last great strike
who replied to it.

RICH MEN IN OAKLAND
T. l. Barker Says There Is q
Vicious Feeling Toward
Them.
Council men Said to Ignore Everything
That App ais to Common
Sense.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

OAKLAND OFFICE CAN FRANCISCO GALL
906 Broadway, May u.
T. l.. Barker, one OF the wealthiest men
in the city, has stated several reasons why
men of means will not come to Oakland or
invest here.
An article in last Mondays CALL, relat-
ing to the little that has been done by rich
men in the way of adjoining the city, has
prompted a very interesting reply from
Mr.. Barker. He writes:
when il is said there is not single
vestige OF evidence tending to show that
a philosophical man ever lived IN Oak
land some explanation is necessary. Ex-
ception must be made of the Chabot Home
and the Chabot Observatory. The one
was given and endowed, and has been for
years and is now active and useful. The
other was wholly given as it now stands
equipped to the city, and by the city &C.
cepted. And the sane city that accepted
the gift will not to-day allow the water
company, established and to a large ex-
tent, owned by Mr.. Chabot while he lived.
and now by his heirs to furnish water to
the building given by him. He also gave
the Ladies Relief Society and Old Ladies'
Home 500 shares of water stock, worth
then $50,o00-worth now $50, 000-which is
still owned by that society.
There has always been a somewnat
vicious feeling toward men of means iv-
! ing in Oakland, which has tended to sour
them; and within the past three years
that feeling has been intensified, and is
| now daily encouraged, and exists to such
| an extent as to prevent men of means
from coming here to live and bringing
their money with them. No wealthy man
in his right mind would now come to this
city to live. We have an established rep
utation, and our city rulers seem to be la
boring, not in the interest of Oakland and
its citizens, but seeing how they can spite
Davie; not for one moment considering
his suggestions and vetoes, but endeavor-
ing to sit on them, without any consider
alton, because Davie suggests.
Notwithstanding there has never been
time when there were so many reasons
for fixing very low tax lew as now, they
seem to be trying their very best to get rid
of all the money in sight and to throw
mud at any one who suggests a low rate OF
taxatlOn.n
