PASADENA BUDGET
UNION ORATORS ABLY DISCUSS
THE CAMPAIGN
Judge Murphey and Jud Rush Listened
to by Large Audience-Co.
Invalids Return

PASADENA, Oct. %. (Office of The Her
aid, Is West Colorado Street. THE union
partys rally tonight brought out a crowd
more than large enough TO fill the wigwam.
&. +. Harris acted as chairman, and Judge
Murphey and Jud Rush made solid and well
| received addresses to the large audience.
The famous colored Troop ID Glee club de-
lighted the audience with campaign songs
Chairman Harris, in introducing Judge
there would be no nefarious Poker Davis
gangs unchecked and no arresting of men
whose only crime was not having money
enough to pay hotel bills
Judge Murphey said he had not changed
principles in becoming fused" but had
become fused because of an agreement OF
principles, and he had learned in this and
the last campaign to respect the people of
the three parties. He had not heard one
word of abuse during this campaign from
any Democrat or Populist in public or pr-
vate which would wound Republican or
gold bug if overheard by them. In re-
terring to the achievements of the war and
the great future to which it would lead he
said it was a victory not of the north or
American people, and any man who wished
to impart party factional colorin9 to it
should be tarred and feathered, at least
metaphorically.
Judge Murphey quoted figures showing
that the cost OF the machinery of Los An
geles county was greater than that of twen-
ty-nine different states of the union and
greater than the combined cost of six of
these states. The Republican nominees
cannot change this and relieve the people
OF this monstrous burden of taxes. because
they belong to the same Republican party,
and it would be reflection on their pre-
decessors and the party to show up the i'm
mensity Of this wrong. They boast that
they have turned the rascals out" but in
nearly every case they have put deputy
in. Can deputy" run the business any
better than his master can? Property, rent,
interest and wages have gone down, but
assessed valuation and taxes have gone up.
Something is wrong. This election is in your
hands.
Jud Rush made an eloquent plea for tol-
GRANGE and respect for American manhood
and honor. Il will not accuse any Ameri-
can citizen," he said, "of being the off
scourings or the riff raft OF anything" He
refuted the charge that the fusion candi-
dates were sacrificing principles for office by
reading the platforms Of the united parties
and showing their principles to be the same.
These orators who make these accusations
are the ones who GRATED themselves hoarser
than am for free silver and decorated their
train with l6 to ] banners on the way to
ST. Louis and came back from that Repgb-
lican convention converted into gold bugs.
Where are their banners and principles
now! Who has sacrificed principle for office
The man who will not leave party when he
thinks it is wrong is not the man we can
trust to bring our nation to the civilization
we hope for
In closing, Mr.. Rush gave convincing rea
sons. of which he had fifty, proving that the
Southern Pacific was in politics in this state
and that every member OF the Republican
state central co,mittee was ether directly
or indirectly in the employ OF the Southern
Pacific company.
