The San Francisco call., 1898-09-04

Yes. it is right, and obviously right for the State that I soon expect to represent.
 Already we have Hawaii, it is part of States. With Hawaii. with the Philip pines, with the Ladrones, with the con struction of the Nicaragua s,saIa, canal, with wit road we will transfer the trade from the east of this continent to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San pleted, California and the Pacific Coast will enter upon an era of prosperity such as the world has never seen. Applause. ]
 This is no extravaganza whatever and I Los Angeles and San Diego. if we prop erly manage our commercial concerns, will rival New York, will vie with Balti,; challenge the supremacy of Boston.
 I tell you, fellow citizens-and these are my deep, firm and solemn convictions. the era of prosperity that Is to come from California if we stand by the principle of acquired territory announced by William Mckinley and reject the heresies of James G. Mcguire. (Applause)
 Now, my friends and fellow-citizens, MT. Mcguire professes to be a statesman, and do not deny 1t, for l know nothing to the contrary, except I have slight conception the other way. He addressed you the other night. In the course of that address, for some unaccountable
 
 to me. He said from rostrum in this city that the candidate of the Republican party-and l was that person-had never from what he could discover read the platform of his party. Will you let me read you his exact phraseology, because 1 would not do my neighbor violence. He said:
 "Of your distinguished fellow-citizen. I believe that MT. Gage Is an estimable gentleman"
 Now you can see his sincerity It is the same sincerity that runs through thG heart of that man wherever he travels. He says he accepts the judgment of so- and-so, and then he declares that he does not know whether Gage has any opin- Oaughter) That is the courtesy of my opponent. I want to call your attention to some more of his elegant verbiage, borrowed, as he claims, from the Sun longed there; it belonged in that coun- try supposed to be in the opposite direc- tion from heaven. He says:
 'I do not know that I ever saw it in Sunday-school, but I have heard that it was stanza in Sunday-school book.
 We have learned in the lore of long ago
 That symbol of this life below
 Is a boat with pasied men to row
 And a blind man at the rudder.
 That blind man Is me. After man who claims to be statesman has ap- piled language of that character to his opponent, he cannot complain if caustic VerD1aRe IS somewhere III the remarks or his opponent applied to him. He may not have said as the Republican platform de- clares he did, that the taking of Span ish ships by the American sailors was an act of piracy, but he did this: He stood there fin Congress talking and voting along lines opposite to those from which American bullets were flying. He voted against the revenue bill He voted against a bill that was to provide our sailors and our soldiers with drugs, with clothing and with general sustenapce. Then was he entitled to any considera ble credit in the premises? Why, he says that the tax they impose Is infamous-the in ternal revenue tax. Shall we hesitate to furnish drugs? Shall we discuss the price of medicines, when our neighbors and our friends and our patriots are lying upon their deathbeds, to determine wheth- CT or not we will administer the consola- ton that belongs to that situation?
 That was the attitude of this man who thus bitterly assailed me on this or some other rostrum. He says: "This Repub- lcan bond issue is infamous" Fellow citizens, in a time of absolute peace, the Democratic party issued s262 0sJ0 GOO of bonds and they turned them over to the rich syndicates of New York. (Applause ] In the time of war, when our country was imperiled, when liberty and human rights had been assailed, the glorious Re- publican party issued two hundreds of millions of bonds and turned them over
