party as it's candidate for the Presi-

then a barrister without a brief, an
attorney without a client; he was so

AN INSULTING THING.
Tulare Register: And even the Boy
Orator, in his campaign of passion,
prejudice and puerility, has taken the
ground that workingmen are hypocrites
as we'll as towards, by suggesting that
there be pretense Of acquiesc:ng in
this alleged coercion as the deception
cannot be detected past the retirement
of the Australian booth. His own
words convict him of insinceri.y, as he
recognizes the weak place in any sys-
Of lung power knows that he is raising
a false issue which has no excuse for
being, and he knows if he ever reflects
that his harangues are as mischievous
AS they are inSincere.
Does anybody with a spoonful Of
sense believe that cowing, threatening
and coercing the employees of this coun-
try would be left for settlement to the
silver mine organs and the pie counter
sheets? Why, if Jones and his COM
mittee could find such a case they
would neither eat nor sleep until they
had the offending employer run into
court and the country would ring with
righteous approval. That they have
not brought such a case is proof
enough that they have none.
GATORS DOOM.
Kern Echo: A dispatch from Los An
geles says that the Populists in that
part of the State have taken up the
cudgel against Thomas V. Gator and
propose to put a stop to his bartering
and trading OH Populist principles. 1t
says in part:
This fight will be made upon Gator
by the Populists themselves, who know
him most intimately, and who have the
best of reasons for distrusting him. The
people who will lead in the contest are
the bone and sinew of the Populist
party in this State These sturdy
fathers of the party in California say
they do not propose to sit idly by while
their principles are spurned and the Of
fees peddled out by Gator and Wardall
for selfish ends
1t is sincerely to be hoped that this
it true. 1t is daily becoming palmer
that this political renegade would be
an absolute disgrace to California in
the United Safes Senate, and that if
anyone of that party is to be rewarded
with that office it should be one Of bet
ter standing in the State-one In some
way identified with its industries and
institutions. We have no doubt that
he would be easily set aside if it We're
not for the fact that his party in State
convention made him their nominee for
Senator. Hence if POpulists members
of the Legislature were to vote for any,
one else they would be guilty of a gross
breach of party faith, since it is one of
the teachings of that party that the
election of Senators should be brought
as near to the people as possible

Democrats can lend their aid in pro-
noting the ambitions of this fellow He
is political schemer and adventurer.

case. On the contrary while wheat
has been rising, silver has been on the
decline.
