THE ANONYMOUS FIEND AGAIN.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
falsity and cowardly character of the
anonymous assault upon A. J. John
ston, Republican nominee for Superin-
tendent of State Printing, have been
laid bare and completely answered, the
authors of that assassin-like circular
are at work again
Thousands of these malicious, men
dacious unsigned sirculars have been
distributed in this city within
forty eight hours. They have
been put beneath the doors
of citizens, and cast upon their porches
and household doorsteps They have
Uttered the lawns and yards of the
city, and have been thickly strewn in
all public places.
This method of contesting in cam
paign is as scurrilous and cowardly as
any that can be devised. Anonymity
of this order is dastardly. The cow
ardly performance is in the interest
Of Mr.. Johnston's fusion opponent, and
is intended therefore to do the Repub-
1ican nominee serious injury. Detesting
the method. as all fair-minded men
must, we are inclined to the belief that

WHY IS NO ANSWER GIVEN

Has any one heard of any sufficient
answer by Mr.. Mcguire to this ques-
orange, on wool, on wine and spirit
productions?
Are you, despite your vote to the
contrary in Congress, in favor of re-
tanning the protection afforded by the
tariff on Zante currants, on raisins, on
oranges, on wool, on wine and spirit
productions?
1t is a simple question, one proper
to ask, one that is respectful, and that
to which there is no reason in the
world why an answer should not be
given This is the only thing said by
Mr.. Mcguire on the subject: Il decline
to answer the question, because l do
not consider it relevant or material"
Well, what think voters on that sub
ject? Suppose an attempt is made in
Congress to break down the protection
California now receives, would not the
position of the Governor of California
on the matter be considered import
ant? Would not the fact that he has
refused to answer yes to the question
quoted be a powerful weapon in the
hands of the enemy?
Could not the opposition to this pro-
lection point out that though Mr. Ma
guire stood silent before the question.
the people of California elected him,
and thus decided that protection to
wool growing, raisin and citrus fruit
production, ETC., was immaterial and
irrelevant, and that they care nothing
for it?

BE WATCHFUL AND UNTIRING.

Now that the election is at hand, it
Is timely to call attention of all friends
of the Republican ticket to the neces-
sity for untiring watchfulness along
several lines. The party wants a fair
election and nothing less. 1t wants the
polls officers chosen to the duty to con-
duct the election and not lot Of sub
stituteg wedged in. It wants none but
lawful votes cast. It wants fair,
clean count and the actual verdict Of
the people ascertained as by the law
provided.
These things can be achieved only
by watchfulness and untiring vigilance,
for unhappily there are always men
ready for mercenary and partisan ends,
to do unfair things, to take undue ad-
vantage. to evade the law, to declare
certain things required by the law to
be non-essentials. It is the duty of good
citizens, Of every man who loves his
country, and especially the duty of
Republicans who are doing battle for
principle against a combined opposi-
ton, the chief aim of which is to down
the Republican party and cripple the
Administration, to keep watch at the
polls to see to it that every one Of the
election officers chosen to conduct the
election, are on hand early, before the
hour for the opening Of the polls, that
they are there clear-baaded ppd raodv
for thorough going duty; that these Of
hcers shall remain at the polls until
they close and to the counting of the
last ballot, and that bystanders and
strangers are not substituted for them.
IL Is duty to provide clear-headed,
business-like watchers to see that every
provision Of the election law is OBJ
served, and no plumbers committed. tn
see that there is no voting except as
ana IN the manner provided by the law,
which is clear unambiguous and 50
pain that child may comprehend If
1t is duty likewise to labor earnestly
10 get all voters to the polls. 1t is pa
trlotic to do this work for the nation
as we'll as for State and county. Every
citizen can afford to give one dav 70
MS country in this behalf. If there Is
Watchfulness. vigilance, faithful and
impartial performance of duty, we will
have such an expression of the electors
OF the State tomorrow as will be I'M
questioned and remain unchallenged.

In his speech at st. Helena Mr.. Ma
guire said that but one California rep
resentative at Washington voted for
the bill that took the railroad debt out
of politics and settled it beyond all
question. Not so, Senator White as
sisted in framing the measure, advo-
Gated it and voted for it. Senator Nor
gan the anti-railroad champion, aided
in constructing it, advocated it and
seconded Mr.. White in his efforts to
pass it, declaring that it settled the
railroad question forever. Even Mr..
Mcguire did not object to or vote
against the measure though he had op-
portunity to kill it by a simple Il OBJ
ject." The fusion candidate for Gov
ernor is, to put it mildly, inaccurate in
his representations.

The fusionists are centering on a
few men on their ticket and will offer
to trade for them regardless OF their
other nominees. Do not be beglliled
into the belief that you can help the
Republican ticket by trading votes. The
opposition hopes now to capture the
Legislature and thus tie the hands Of
Henry T. Gage, who is conceded vic
tory. The wise rule to follow is mo
trading"

when did this come to pass? We have
been told daily by the fusion press
that there are sixteen distinct issues
in the campaign, but now we have the
word of the Governor for it that there
is no issue except Mcguire Re-
publicans hold that the national issue
is first and foremost; that next the
single tax issue leads. that after
that come the questions of State
policy, and economic administra-
ton, and so on. If Mcguire
is the "only ISSUE" then the
destiny of the nation and the State
depend wholly upon the one man Ma
guire. Sad is the condition of a great
State when all it's interests hinge upon
a single pprS0nality

INSTANCE OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF A SINGLE VOTE.

The Contra Costa Gazette" puts the
matter very neatly and logically when
it says:
The principles Of a party should
weigh heavily when one is making up
his mind how to vote and for whom
tot vote. Especially is this matter
of concern when the office is a ma
tional one or leads to national or
State office Congressman, State Sen
ators and Assemblymen are especially
party officers, and on their election
hangs the carrying out of the principles
and policies of a party. Furthermore,
If our Congressman are not in, touch
and accord with the Administration
their influence amounts to naught.
Especially is this true with regard to
United States Senators. And they are
elected by our State Legislature. Hence
every effort should be made to elect a
Republican Legislature this year.
The Gazette" points out that the
defeat in that county six years ago Of
one nominee of the Republican party
changed the complexion of the Legis-
lature so that the election Of S. M
White as United States Senator be-
came possible. he being chosen by one
majority. He went to Congress, and
in that body the Wilson tariff bill was
passed by one vote, and Mr.. White cast
it. So far-reaching, then, was a local
quarrel in Contra Costa County. Let
every man who has ballot think upon
this ciparo1a fort and rpfact 11p0n the
high Importance his one vote may have
in determining the destiny of the ma
ton

Beware Of roorbacks now The fusion
lists have resorted to anonymous circu-
lars already. They will not stop at that,
but will issue apparently authoritative
statements, calculated to injure Repub-

open to the charge that any further as
saults will be Of the same order.

was Immediately and powerfully
impressed with the thought tha
the public had been sadly out
ragged by former administration:
because they had failed to observe
"the precautions incident to or
binary business methods" This
negligence, as his excellency re-
,Peatedly pointed out, had resulted
in extravagant expenditures,
piled up the public debt and i'm
paired the States credit. The
public were highly gratified at the
acuteness ofthe young man whom
they had exalted and felt that a
youth whoI could locate a dis
order SO promptly would natural
ly be precocious enough to apply
an Immediate and specific remedy.
We all expected to see strict and
economical methods applied /, all

dent that the governors political
education terminated in the dis
secting room. He is handy at the
post-mortem autopsy, and after
death of the subject can tell with
some precision the causes of dis
solution, What a debt of graft
tude we owe to this our great and
good Governor for telling us that
the State debt accumulated be-
cause the out go was greater than
the income, and seems to have
discovered this profound maxim
by a kind Of intuition akin to Rev
elation. But this knowledge Of
political physics is unhappily cir
cumscribed. He is unable to de-
termine the disease until after dis

femedy until the subject becomes

which has been here with the dredge
has broken two of the fans and is un-
